How to store bird's eye chili (cili padi)

I used to have problem storing my bird's eye chili (cili padi) and keeping it fresh. Before I could finish using it, they will be all rotten or shrunken. The tips which I've learned from my mom is to keep the cili paid in the freezer instead of refrigerating it. Put your cili paid in a tupperware, throw it into the freezer. It can last for a very very long time :)
