Today...16 December 2008....9 more days to Christmas.Usually, around this time, one can see lots of activities in town. People will be busy rushing here and there to buy lots of stuff for Christmas, the New Year and also The Chinese New Year.This year, there is a vast difference in the economic activities in this country, Malaysia. Most of the people are buying essential stuff only. Nothing is spent on extras.
This year is so different from all those years. In the past, I never understood what is economic downturn. I always have food on my table, clothes on my back and all biscuits that I made had sold very well. I was never short of customers. The phone kept ringing for orders. However,this time around,the phone hardly rings. Orders are few and less...much less.
I am just wondering what the Chinese New Year atmosphere will be like? Quiet and not much of a celebration....because there is nothing to celebrate.
