Chinese New Year Decoration Shopping

Its that time of year again for everything red and gold and gaudy and properous looking. Hunt down your vases for your pussy willows and Plum trees or fakes one with the bright pink plastic plum blossoms.
Its the Chinese New Year! 
I love decorating the house for Chinese New Year – the brighter and redder the better. Never mind that everything clashes 
Some of the places I shop at for CNY decorations are in Chinatown, Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur.
Sure, the prices are jacked up but it still works out cheaper than buying at the stalls at the malls. Also, I find you get a better selection. Sometimes, some of the malls bring in artisans from China so you can get some nice Chinese stuff that we don’t usually get here at normal times, like red paper cuttings and calligraphic writings.
However, to save money, this year I’m reusing last year’s decorations. I might pick up a bamboo or two to place in the house. Last year’s lucky bamboo did not survive – I guess it wasn’t very lucky
