Praying to Cait's great grand parents

Wednesday is the official day for "Dong Zhi", but due to working schedule, everyone decided to pray on Sunday.

Mom had prepared quite a lot of food including her signature yummy curry.

This is also the first time they are praying to ah mah (hubby's grandma) at the temple because she had shifted house last month.

If it is death anniversary, praying must be done before 12 noon, whereby this is a festival, they can pray around 1pm. One of the uncle from the temple told them that it was very crowded in the morning. Even when buying food from markets, you can clearly see that everyone was rushing to get the flowers and food for praying today.

When it is time to seek permission from hubby's ah ma and ah gong, Cait is going to do it by throwing the 2 wooden curve banana shape on the floor.

Trying hard... 1st: smooth, 2nd and 3rd, 'they' are smiling happily.

Still praying hard

After doing for 3 times, they decided to wait for a while longer. At that time, she was still holding the 2 wooden clamp. It seem like she wanted to do it on her own.

But....




Therefore, dad decided to do himself after 10min later. Ah gong and ah ma seem very happy seeing Cait coming over to pay her respect.
The answer is shown when both wooden flat surface are facing the sky. It means: happy or smiling.

Cait is not interested and decided to roam around the place under strict supervision.

Missed the shot tho. She thought that by pressing the button, the can drink will roll out.

Thats what wifey did to trick her!

She walk in there alone, facing the Buddha and pray. 3min later, seeing dad and wifey are not going in, she decided to carry on her tactical movement at the resting area.

Cait walk alone to the "Fo Zu" and prayed. After looking for 1min, she quickly join back to the rest.

It seem like Cait is well connected to altar and Chinese deity. She seem to know it is altar and must pray hardly. No one teaches her that, it is basically her own seeing and everyone was astonished by her behavior! Even a statue that she did not see before, she will have the initiative by holding her hand together and started praying.
