CNY Day 5

Just cook a simple lunch before I went to work as usual.

I liked the fried 'siew yok' the most.



When we reopened our business on the 4th day, the boss gave ang pows to his staff and workers. He would also give to small kids too.

 
 kids showing off their ang pows from the boss


At about 1.30pm, one of the winners of the CNY contest appeared. The little boy came to my desk and showed me the ang pow umbrella. It was beautiful!

Took a shot of the kids with their father who posted the umbrella handicraft

They gave the umbrella to me and I was stunned..
Thanks!



Later in the evening, the grand winner arrived with her nieces.

a good shot of them showing off the ang pows and
 the gold nugger together with the ang pow SNAKE!


When I reached home after work, I attended to my dog, May. When I was ready at my laptop, my girl asked me to cut the fruit cake given by my friend and her family.


it's Amway fruit cake

cut it and tasted it 
full of raisins and very SWEET!

"Happy Valentine's Day"
my boy and my girl said to me.
Thanks!

      I like plain butter cake only. I don't really like fruit cake, because fruit cake is too sweet for my liking.

      I wonder if it can be converted to the mini version of umbrella and hang on your shop as decorative item :)

    2. wennFebruary 15, 2013 at 11:25 PM

      maybe it's too taxing to do a smaller version..

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..
