Wearing Saree

I had organised a saree contest at Chang Jiang but not many people seemed keen. Once a Chinese friend told me that she wanted to take part and I was looking forward to it. 

She was waiting for a green light from our Indian friend. Unfortunately, our friend was too busy preparing for her son's wedding. Her time was really occupied. 

I have an Indian friend who seemed interested to wear saree with me. Again, we couldn't get a proper time to do it. Both of us had time constraint. Thus, we forwent it.

Two days ago, a regular customer came to Chang Jiang with her saree. She looked so pretty. This was the first time I had seen her in saree. Casually, I asked if I could wear her saree. Without hesitation, she welcomed me to go over to her place that very night after my work.

I was so pleased and I told her about the saree contest in Chang Jiang. She was excited. 

So, I went to her place and wore her saree.

I had submitted this picture at Chang Jiang.

Guess she's surely the only winner.

    I never wore a saree before but when I was in my previous employment, I got my customer service girls to wear. Although Deepavali is not a big holiday in Sarawak, we have simple decoration and saree wearing in the shopping mall. I remember how my staff rolled themselves wearing that long saree clothes. Not easy.

    But if you ask me, I would give saree a try. At least wear it once. Haha. But no Indian friend to ask around here.

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..
