9th CNY

I haven't come back for prayers for quite a number of years. So yesterday I decided to come back Taiping to help my mum and sister with the prayers.



It was quite fun to witness the prayers.

    we just have a normal prayer at home but unlike those Hokkien families that will be having grand celebrations.. neighbour opposite will be burning fireworks and firecrackers, and this is the day every year that i will not be able to go to sleep early.. too noisy and worse still the noise of their kids running around wildly, shouting and screaming, duh~~

      But luckily the next day was a Saturday so you could sleep until late in the morning.

    Your mother and sisters must be very happy to see you back this year to help them with the prayers. Around my place, not many Hokkeins people so seldom see elaborate prayers setup like this but can hear lots of fireworks and firecrackers yesterday in the wee hours. 1.45am they were still letting off firecrackers.

      Yes, it's good to pray as it's only once in a year affair.

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..
