Happy Birthday, Mum!

My mum would prepare misua for me when it's my Chinese birthday. But I didn't have the chance to do the same for her until today. She came back to my place last Sunday. She would help me with the laundry while I prepare lunch.

So this morning, as usual, I was preparing to cook lunch. Then my girl came in the kitchen and said, "Today is Ah Mah's birthday!" Quickly, I referred to the calender and yes..it's my mum's Chinese birthday.

It struck my mind immediately to prepare misua for her. I boiled two eggs..boiled soup using fried ikan bilis and an egg. Got ready the misua too.

After that, I went on with my cooking our lunch. My mum was outside doing our laundry. When she was seated down watching the tv, I presented her with this bowl of misua..

I gave her an ang pow like she always did on my birthday.
I left her to enjoy her misua.


Then I went to work. I asked my girl to get a birthday cake for her Ah Mah.
After work, I got ready the cake and lighted the candle. We sang 'Happy Birthday' song to her.


She was so happy today!

Happy Birthday, Mum! 

We love you!

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
