Guess who went to the market today?

Me!
I am an auntie in the training *lol*.
As usual I was there to run errands for my mom. Chinese New Year is driving me nuts. So many things to do and so many things to buy.
I usually avoid going to the market cuz the smell used to make me gag.
Luckily the small one outside my house is not too bad, and the people there are friendly.
Now I know why some aunties are so strong. They have to carry around like a ton of veg, meat and seafood every other morning. Some of them have pretty good memories. They may look 70, but they can rattle off a whole list of different cuts of meat from different parts of the animal in a matter of seconds. People who never met before were discussing how to cook certain parts of the pig.
The only things that I don't like about this market is that it's a little too small so when people start queuing, it gets squeezy in there. And it's wet! Yarks...I hate slip-sliding my way around. And goodness knows whether it's even water. Double yarks!!! And I hate it when the vendors use their dirty hands to fish for my change for me and give me money which is wet and slimy!! Now my wallet smells funny :S
Before I forget...my sister and I made this for Chinese New Year!!! (I can forsee us making this every year cuz my mom is a bit crazy abt it)
It is the Chinese Art of "jian zhi" (literally "paper cutting"). Can you all guess what animal it is???
Of course it's the pig lah. It's the pig year this year what.
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
ps: I was going to put some Chinese New Year music on my blog in lieu of the events that are happening soon and also for the fact that I usually love to irritate my friends by singing Chinese New Year songs at ANY time of the year. However, I decided to be kind and put up Tank's latest hit "zhuan shu tian shi", from the Hana Kimi OST instead. Enjoy!
