CNY 9th day

This year I didn't go back to my mum's place for the prayers to the God of Heaven. Instead I spent my time with my neighbour.

All set up..


Yummy looking roasted pig..


Pomelo and 'ang ku'..


The overall view..

I stayed for about an hour. Ate some food and lastly 
my neighbour's husband poured me a glass of Carlsberg. 
That's when I was ready to say goodnight. 
For courtesy sake, I just drank half glass..cannot take it.


Happy 9th CNY!

    It sounds more fun over in Malaysia. It was all quiet here in Singapore. Many youngsters don't celebrate CNY anymore.

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..
