We had our CNY open house yesterday and invited friends over. The buffet was catered for 30 pax but the number of our guests started dwindling a week before and thankfully, we had enough time to change the menu to a mini-buffet which comes without warmers and the whole set up.

And so the hubs borrowed 2 table stands, the glass-top and 2 buffet warmers which we transferred some of the dishes into when they came. Thankfully, for his work and the car which we are considering not getting another when it gets scrapped off end of this year.

This time round, the guests didn't stay till late except for 2 of my friends, who were fine with me doing the laundry and cleaning while they chatted. And it's amazing how they could chat, first time meeting each other! But I'm thankful for that. That's the difference between men and women. We can still 'entertain' our guests while getting work done but this will never happen with the guys. Even if they are just lounging on the sofa and not talking, nothing else gets done.

K's playroom, needless to say, was a mess when the kids left and I had to tidy it up with her and her bedtime was stretched till 10pm. Well, she has to learn to put things away after play.

And after church today, the eldest brother and his wife accompanied us to hunt for luggage at Mustafa. We had naan lunch at Little India before luggage hunting. Thankfully, for a Sunday, it wasn't as crowded as it usually is. We found a good deal and even managed to score a discount when the eldest brother decided to get the same luggage as well!

The suitcase that the hubs and I have are the classic 2-wheelers that we have had the longest time and we 'suffered' for it during our recent Tokyo trip. So it's time for an 'upgrade' and it's also time to decide what are we going to do with the still very good old ones.
M came over in the evening to seek our help on her insurance policy. She had wanted to come in the afternoon but because we went out, I asked her to come over for dinner instead. And she also helped a little with K's school project. To do up a family tree, using real pictures.

K's school project = daddy or mummy's responsibility. :p
