Ang Pow

Well, our boss gives us 'ang pow' every year before the Chinese New Year starts. This year, we haven't received our 'ang pow' yet. But yesterday when my part-time worker, KW was leaving the shop at 9pm, our boss told me to give an 'ang pow' to her. She only comes to our shop on Saturday nights and Sundays. Yesterday we worked the whole day from 8.30am to 10pm. 

But KW told me that she had to leave at 9pm. She actually works somewhere else as a staff.

An ang pow for KW. 
Kong Hei Fatt Choy!

Guess the rest of us will get our 'ang pow' soon..

Twin bananas

Image
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..
