Deepavali Mood

Yesterday, the boss asked some Indians to fix two banana plants at the entrance of Chang Jiang. He paid RM100 for that. This is the second time he did it.

It looks good and the customers were delighted especially the Indians.

At the meantime, I'm busy wrapping hampers. Business is good and we as cashiers are really busy. I have to be both cashier and hamper wrapping person..

Do you know that not all Indians celebrate Deepavali? As for us Chinese, I would say all Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year.

Happy Deepavali to those who celebrate it.

    Good morning Wenn, Happy Deepavali to your customers who celebrate this festival.

    The banana trees are so tall. How long can they survive in the small pots?

    ah yes, not all the Indians celebrate Deepavali, since some may be Buddhist or Christians, but i would say it is actually for the Hindus (and not only Indian Hindus but perhaps Hindus of other races) to celebrate.. and true also, i guess all Chinese celebrate CNY right regardless their religion.. :)

    I am not surprised that not all Indians celebrate Deepavali as not all Christians in Malaysia celebrate Christmas too.

    I heard that India is so huge with large population from different tribal clans who have different faiths and dialects too.

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..
