9th Day of CNY

Dear Evan,

You poor little thing. You woke up crying away at 12 this morning when people started to light the fireworks. Too loud for you. Luckily you calmed down and went to sleep after 1/2 an hour. But we were worried that they might start lighting more fireworks, so we let you sleep with us on out bed.

You see, today is a big occassion for the Hokkiens. By the way, you are Hokkien lang, like your daddy and Ah Kong. Maybe next year we will be able to go back to Ipoh to celebrate "Pai Tee Kong" with the Ban clan.
