Boxing Day in Newcastle

I didn't know about Boxing Day until I was in Australia in 2004. After Christmas Day is Boxing Day. It is another day where families get together. Christmas Day and Boxing Day was all about food.. :)

We spent Boxing Day with my SIL's brother's family.
My SIL is a German lady.

It was a hot day and my SIL (my husband's sister) from Malaysia couldn't stand the heat. 
That's my BIL (my husband's brother)

The host (my SIL's brother), his daughter and
his daughter-in-law (Chinese lady)

Even the dog wanted to join in the fun. My girl simply loves dogs.
The little boy is the host's grandson.

    What a coincidence! I also learnt about Boxing Day during my trip to Singapore during Christmas week in 2004. At first I thought it was the boxing sport! LOL!

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..
