Mid-Autumn Festival

A friend of ours, came back for a short holiday from UK. So, we decided to have a grand dinner with her. Some friends from Taiping and KL came to Ipoh for the celebration. 

After the dinner, we went over to a friend's place for lantern lighting. I had brought some lanterns and candles from my shop.

Those were the days we used to play lanterns..


It was a happy occasion for all of us.



Since the lanterns were still in good condition, I kept them for my next gathering with my Chang Jiang customers.

Here, kids played..


Some of the kids were my friend's neighbours. 
They too joined in the fun.

Of course, Mid-Autumn is not auspicious without a moon cake.

With my friends, a friend baked some special mooncakes for all of us.

With my customers, I brought some moon cakes from the shop.

These two occasion were the best since we left childhood.

Happy mid-Autumn to all...

May your life be filled with love and happiness!

    Not very happening this year at Taiping... MPT don't allow stalls to set up on lake garden, and no fire crackers 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..
