Spotted CNY Goodies

Friday 26.nov.21 is kid 1's day but we still have to go buy bread and deliver it to the elderly because the elderly says that the previous time kid 1 bought bread, there was difficulty in double parking and jumping down with the car unattended just to pop into the shop to buy just a loaf of bread so we have to make a special trip on not his day to buy and deliver one loaf of bread to the elderly. Since we are out, we also bought food for the whole day and breakfast the next day.

At the grocery shop, while selecting bread placed outside the shop, I heard coughing so I peered into the shop and saw a customer at the cashier counter paying for a tray of eggs and coughing hard with the mask pulled down exposing the mouth and nose. 🤦🏻‍♀️I suspect the mask was pulled down because the mask has to be used for the whole day to save on masks. Talking about not being clear of the concept.

The customer was coughing with the mask pulled down exposing the mouth and nose so I hope it is just a common cold as the nose looks obviously red and not the dreaded virus. I contemplated abandoning my buying bread but then thought better of it and waited till the coughing customer has exited the shop, held my breath, quickly paid at the counter next to the counter where the coughing happened and ran out. Hopefully the aerosol droplets didn't get me. I wore double masks but left my face shield at home. Now to wait 21 days.

  2. Haha. Christmas is not even here yet. So fast, selling CNY goodies.

    Yes, definitely looking forward to CNY, the relaxing and cooping at home part. Lol. Not much of a celebration, just a family gathering Don't think will be doing much visiting unless my youngest is vaccinated. Only him not yet vaccinated. Should be next year for those under 12 years old.

  3. Lol! I can see the cross on the ckt wrapper on the right hand side. Prices have gone up, not surprising if the prices of CNY cookies will also go up.

  5. I already saw some in my coffee shops around my area. Guess people can't wait for Chinese new year. Or perhaps it is already time to start making money for CNY.
