In a day

Yesterday, I woke up at 6.15am. Got ready and sent my girl to the railway station. Her train was at 7am. Dropped her, went home and tended to May, my boxer. I fed her with bread and milk before I adjourned to the shop. I opened the shop at 8.30am sharp. 

I was glad that my people were punctual. When everything was in order, Lim bought this Panax Ginseng Extracts from our shop. Actually I haven't seen the contents before. So since he bought it and opened it, I told him that I wanted a photo of it.
 
10 bottles

Lim drank it with the straw provided.
Mmm..yummy..

Later, I wrapped a few consolation prizes..
meant for Mother's Day Contest held in Chang Jiang facebook.



At 6pm, Mei went back to her mum's place nearby and she brought some food for me..
yam cake made by her mum

and steamed 'nin ko'( I gave the nin ko to her mum so that she could prepare the steamed ones for me.
Thank you, Mei's mum.

Of course, I couldn't finished all. I shared with my people.

    Is there staff discount for your staff when they buy things from your shop?

    So nice of Mei's mother to prepare the steamed nin ko with the nin ko you provided. So did all of you eat this while it is still soft? After a while, the steamed nin ko will harden and need to be steamed again to soften it.

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..
