MALAY WEDDING

25 September 2011, Sunday

We were at a Malay wedding lunch today.  Min saw some boys eating rice with their hands and told me, "Naughty boys, they eat with hands!".  I explained to her that it is the Malay tradition that they eat with their hands.  Halfway through lunch, the girls saw the ceremony where the groom's procession with friends, relatives, musicians and people meeting the bride at the bride's home.  Min was scared by the sound of the "kompang" (a traditional musical instrument among the Malays).  Min said the people are holding shinning shining umbrellas (yellow umbrellas).  On the other hand, Zhen walked up to the procession and enjoyed the "show". 

SURNAMES

8th February 2011, Tuesday Afternoon

Lee Zhen was asking me why is this Friday, a school holiday?

Me:  (explained about the Hokkiens prayers to the Jade Emperor "拜天公"")

LZ:  Are you a Hokkien people?
Me:  No, I'm a Cantonese.  Your father is a Hokkien.
LZ:  Then, I am what people?
Me:  You're a Hokkien.
LZ:  Why I am not a Cantonese people?
Me:  'Coz you follow your father.  Just like your surname, you followed your father's surname, Lee "李".


LZ:  Mummy, next time I want to marry a Low, "羅".  Then my children can have your surname.  I don't know what people lah... but the surname is Low, like you.

BRIDESMAID

12th October 2010, Tuesday Night

Lee Zhen was watching my wedding VCD just now.

She asked me, what's a bridesmaid?

I told her, bridesmaid helps the bride to do stuff, like carrying her bag.

She said, you mean like a 'kakak'?

GETTING MARRIED

30th November 2009, Monday Night

Zhen: "Mummy, my 'ah koo' (aunt, father's sister) getting married is it? Why she wants to get married? Because she wants to have baby is it? She wants to have children? OMG! I don't want to get married when I'm big. I don't want to have children. Because the children very noisy, then I cannot do work." 

Why Zhen said like that? Maybe because... as I'm in the midst of packing up stuff for shifting... I asked her to do her own things and do not disturb me... as she's sometimes very 'noisy' that I can't do my work. ;-D
