Old song book

This old song book has been with us ever since I was young. I don't remember where it came from but I really treasure it very much. 

It has turned yellow but it's still good. Those days the pages of the books wouldn't come out easily..

I love it because every song has the guitar chords accompaniment. I used to play my guitar when I was in college. Now I pass it to my girl who plays guitar too.

But too bad she didn't bring her guitar to UK so this song book is lying at home. Actually she asked me to carry her guitar to UK when we were flying there two months ago. But I wouldn't as I felt that it would be a burden to carry it..

    I had a song book too last time. Mostly I copied the lyrics myself from somewhere.

      I love singing since I was young. Now, I didn't keep the song book anymore. I only printed the song lyrics from internet and filed it up.

      Then, when I am free, I will take those song lyrics out and teach my girls to sing along.

      It would be very romantic if my guy plays my favorite tunes on guitar. Too bad my husband doesn't play instrument.

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..
