Blessing with ang pow

My girl who has just celebrated her birthday is now somewhere just for a couple of months. She left on Wednesday evening but I didn't have the time to even send her to the bus station. So sorry for that. Luckily she has a wonderful teacher who had willingly driven her to take a bus to LCCT. 

Before I left for work on Wednesday, I prepared two ang pow for her. She was still asleep at that time.
 
My notes which I kept from my last trip to the country.
I gave all to her except the big notes.
In fact she has more than enough already..

Another customary ang pow which I will give to my kids. 
They will usually put it under their pillows.


She has to use my luggage as she couldn't find one for herself 
or rather just be thrifty..

Anyway, I will need to get a new luggage for myself before I 'makan angin' again.

Enjoy your stay over there, my girl!
You will be back real soon 
to continue your studies here.

    Is there a special reason to give RM159? or are the notes in the photo just an example?

      according to feng shui, 159 relates to kids won't simply play so that they will concentrate on their studies..

    May your daughter enjoy her stay at the "somewhere". Guess it is not for leisure but for something more important as she has to leave without celebrating Chinese New Year with all of you, her family.

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..
