Can you buy it?

This happened a while back. I've been too behind in my blogging. Ah Kong took the day off to send his car to be serviced. So with Ah Ma they brought you out in Ah Ma's car. What happened next? Ah Ma's car decided that it didn't want to unlock and so the three of you were stranded in Prima Tanjung after they'd gone to the bank! Ah Kong tried to open the car door and it could not work.

Luckily since Ah Kong's car was still in the service center, they came over to pick the three of you to wait for his car to be ready. In the meantime, you wandered about the sales center and told Ah Kong that you'd buy him "All the cars". Ah Kong asked if you had money to buy. Of course the answer was "Yes. My 钱缸 (money box in Cantonese) has enough money". Aawww... that's so sweet. I'm sure you melted Ah Kong's heart!

You picked up the word "ching-ngang" from Ah Ma I never knew what 钱缸 meant nor what language it was. Until one day 5th Chim Poh heard you mention the word and she repeated it clearly only did I have a (very vague) idea of what it meant.

Your first ching-ngang was inherited from daddy. Yup.. it is that old and so are the coins inside! It's this Donald Duck coin box from Standard Chartered Bank:

After that you got these other two. One is a Christmas gift another was given to me by a colleague. So it's now yours too. You don't have to shake your (very full) Donald Duck everytime you ahve a coin to keep anymore.
