Qing Ming

It is time for Qing Ming again and we once again go bai bai lor... and as this is sort of like a family tradition, Ace always comes along... It is the only day though tat Ace gets to learn how to gold Gold Ingot and how to fan out the paper money:) Thank god for Ji Lao Mm and Shu Shu who were there to patiently teach Ace how to fold everything. Ji Lai Mm also very thoughtfully brought along some biscuits specially for Ace in case he got hungry:) A very happy Ace with the finished end product... When they started burning the money, Ace wanted to go too and because the top layer is plastic and not suitable for burning, Shu Shu took it out.. Ace took the plastic money and ran to me and told me, "Mummy, look! So nice! So colourful! Can I bring home?"

When Ji Lao Pek heard this, he quickly told Ace not to bring this home and I had to explain to Ace that these are hell notes and are dead people's money.. we are alive so we use money for live people. Anyway, Cheeky was very cheeky and showed off his cheekiness to Ji Lao Pek lor.. when we were going home, Ace kept asking why why why sort of questions in the taxi so when we alighted, Ji Lao Pek scolded Ace (I am not sure if he was teasing), "Aiya, Ace, dun keep asking WHY WHY WHY lah.. I hear already I very angry lah..."

Not going to be outdone, my son retorted, "Why, leh, why is ji lao pek like that leh, Why is he so crazy leh, WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY.." and the initially angry Ji Lao Pek cannot help but giggle together with Ace...

And then when we were back home for a meal with the family, Ji Lao Pek said to Ace, "Come here little chicken!" (cos Ace was born in the year of the rooster..) My son ran up to him and told him..."Ya, I am little chicken, you are big chicken!" Upon me asking Ace for more details, I found out that my father in law has been telling Ace that ji lao pek is big chicken because he was also born in the year of the rooster:)

Anyway, after lunch, Ace was happy to play with shushu (and shu shu's NEW IPHONE)... he found Shu Shu's army gear and decided to pose for a picture for us:)

PS: He has been so engrossed in playing with the iphone that he din want to play or talk to Yeye at all at our supper sessions... upon seeing that Ace really likes the iphone so much, Yeye asked him,"You really like it ah... you realy like it ah...?" And the very clever Nai Nai already predicted what is coming and intercepted in and told Yeye in cantonese (a language Ace doesn't understand) "He is so young, he doesnt need such a good phone lah. Dun spoil your grand child lah.."

Hahahaha.... Shu Shu also complained tat it is unfair that he only had his first phone when he was very old and had to make his own money to buy it... so in the end, Yeye decided not to go ahead with his plan.. PHEW.... If Ace had his own iphone, then dun need to play, dun need to talk to people, dun need to do homework liao lor:)
