Apparently in Baba patois...."bini" means wife and "lucky" means husband. Daddy says it's kind of a way to speak in code.....eg. "Is you bini coming to my daughter's wedding?"
Hehehe how funny! The hubby is called a lucky because apparently being MALE is lucky!
Had a brilliantly happy day today! Whooppeee...shiny happy Dawn...fa-la-la!
Brought Kong Kong out to lunch, then Chinatown to buy CNY goodies, and then went over to his place to jazz it up for CNY. I'm so happy with the result. Bought a new bunch of peonies and plum blossoms for him....very pretty!
Kong Kong is very witty for his age, even though he has the onset of Alzheimer's. Rita Ee had new glasses made for him at Nan Fang today. And being the ever-so-thrifty gentleman that he is, he said "My old glasses are good what, no need to waste money!" Rita Ee said he should get them, to look extra handsome for my wedding. And Kong Kong replied,"But I can already see Dawn's boyfriend well with my old glasses what!" Hehe, my dear old Kong Kong! Wish Mama was alive to see me get married. She would love JF too :')
I LOVE CNY as much as Christmas! Love preparing for it.....doing all those funny little traditions and being pantang once a year. It's funny how my Mum is not really into it, but I am. As far as I can remember, for YEARS now I'VE been the one preparing the sticky "nian gao" cake and huat kuay for the Kitchen God. Complete with red dates and dried longans....8 of each. Filling the rice bin, stocking up on sugar, salt, oil, oranges etc. We believe that passing the New Year with these essentials means that you will have ample food for your household for the rest of the year. Yes, yes, thanks to me, everyone in my house will be fat....the dog too!

Male is lucky? Who came up with that idea? Ah well... Bini sounds better anyway.
