so how was it 'celebrated', nothing fancy to shout about but had a fun game of 'tradition' for an indication of his future career followed by another 'tradition' with giant size Ang Ku Kueh!
at the same time, Zethan opened all his pressies and yes he is very late which like like after 3 weeks (all because of the procrastinating mummy) but well they say it's never too late *excuses by mummy*
based on a very old tradition which people practised in the olden days but currently very much modified and modernised just for the fun of it to identidy his future career or so they say. 7 items were placed in a line in front of him for selection namely color pencils, $10 note, $50 note, calculator, calligraphy brush, measuring tape, mouse. Zethan was let go at a distance and made to crawl towards the mentioned items which he did excitedly and the 1st item he picked is the calculator, turned and smile at daddy, turned back, crawl and pick up the $50 note. So what's the interpretation then of his future career? perhaps accountant or auditor? daddy said it had better not be cashier, duhz!
later in the evening, went to pick up the pre-ordered giant ang ku kueh. Apparently it's about the size of an adult's palm thereabout. Supposedly Zethan will have to step on both, a foot on one each and offer some words of blessing so as he gets to enjoy good fortune in all he does in future (with minimum effort to achieve maximum results - there is this proverbs in chinese but prove too much for mummy thus can't recall totally) with more benefactors and lesser villians in his way. afterwhich he is to munch on abit of the kueh for significance. some of you might be thinking at this point, yikes, step on it and munch subsequently, how gross is that. well basically the kuehs are slipped into a plastic bag thus not stepping directly on the kuehs.
