cooking and cooking

what a busy morning i had.
i was so busy cooking and cooking and collecting and then cooking again....in cyber world. muahahaha.

i was managing 3 cafes at the same time and busy calculating stoves and the hours needed to complete level and goal. yup, 3 cafes. you got it right. we are that addicted to the game that we can't let our cafe rest. hence, when we are away, we have friends who will help us manage the cafe for us temporarily.

as i was busy in the cafe today, my mom and aunt had started their cooking since yesterday. they were in the kitchen the whole day preparing food for prayer this morning.
we offered them to 'phor tor gong'.

this was taken from the car when i was reversing it. see, how dirty the window is. not my car. my bro's ;) this is the stage where performances are held every night during the duration.

ok, i dunno why the picture turns out this way. divine intervention?? in my phone, it is rotated correctly. these are the food we brought. all home-made. there is another big fruit basket. and 2 more trays at home. haha..mom and aunt had forgotten them.
the long stretch for actual day's prayer and offering.


the papier-mache deity in his ferocious pose.

burning of hell's notes. everyone smells of smoke in the car after that.

all the big joss sticks.

ok, the tummy is hungry now. i am still waiting for mom to cook the lor mee.
in the meantime, it is time again to log in to the cafes and collect dishes. seeing all the wonderful food in the cafes every hour makes me hungry the whole day.
