CNY 2012 - 8TH & 9TH DAY
MIL made "Ang Ku" to worship The Jade Emperor. She made some for my mother too. Aren't it lovely?
On the 8th night (preparing) and when the clock strikes 12a.m which is the next day 9th, Hokkien people will worshiping The Jade Emperor 玉皇大帝. Usually we'll start to pray about 11pm something, then about 12a.m the praying is almost done. Pai Ti Kong is the most grand prayers for Hokkienese. After praying, my mom cooked Mee Sua for us and we had it with Siuk Yok (Roasted Pork) and the rest of the yummy food and snack. We gone back home about 2a.m in the morning. We quickly get ourselves ready to sleep cos the next day, both hubby and I'll be back to work again and Calvin also need to go to school.
Hebe stayed with my mom after that night. She sleeps so deeply, not even bother about the fire works...Hubby said Taiping town was just like a war zone! Wakaka.
Good Night and Sweet Dreams
woah that's really a lot of food. I think that's the first time I've seen green ang ku kueh too.

Such a grand celebration at your mother's place. I didn't pray this year, because it was a school day the next morning. No holiday for my girl, just like Calvin.
