入伙 Ceremony

Spent another weekend doing house cleaning...

On Sat, I touched up the paint while Dear cleaned the kitchen window grills. How to remove persistent grease on window grills? (Drum rolls...) Use Shell formula 92!! Yes... use petrol!! More efffective than other grease removers... and even the gloves cannot stand the petrol! Poor Dear cleaned until hand skin becomes very dry...

Dear's parents and grandma bought a fan and kettle for the 入伙 Ceremony on Sunday. Grandma told us to complete the task between 11 am to 12 noon. The moment we went into the house this morning, we had to switch on the fan and boil water, so that 风生水起 (wind from fan and boil water using the kettle)... then put oranges, pineapple, candies, tea leaves and 发糕 as offerings... burnt candles in the house and the incent paper at the corridor. Dear's mum threw some rice and salt on the floor before we left the house.

The furniture will be delivered this Sat... the next thing on the agenda is... pack things up and get ready to move! \(^o^)/
