Paymaster

I have written about how to make the soya bean agar-agar before. Last time I used the packet soya bean  Take a look here. But this time I used the fresh ones from Funny Mountain.

And here's the kaya puff..
picture taken by my little girl

Ok, I want to show you the Vintage Paymaster Cheque Printer that we still use in our shop. I don't know how long it has been here but I guess it could be well over 15 years..
 it is very heavy though

 just move the keys accordingly..

 then pull down the handle on the right...

It's nicely printed. I don't need to write that 
except the names and the amount on the right of the cheque.

    Your machine is really vintage. For me, it is more tiring to move the keys up and down compared to writing by hand, hahaha!

    This old fashioned cheque printer is easier to handle than modern ones. That is what my clerk told me and she is a young girl.

Twin bananas

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..
