Who is my 'lao tai po'? This is actually my great great grand mother, who is already 103 yrs old! The name lao tai po came abt when my mummy made a fool of herself at the dinner table one day when I was still inside her tummy. Ye ye and nai nai were discussing what I should call papa's tai po, so mummy unwittingly blurted out - just add a lao in front lor.. lao tai po! (since i am one generation down, so teochews usually just add a 'lao' infront of the term) yeye, nainai and papa laugh until wanna die. oooh and the correct term to use is actually ' xuan2 zu2 mu3' in chinese.
today mummy and papa brought me to meet my great-great-grand ma in person at imperial treasures taka for lunch. She was so happy to finally get to see me and kept talking to me in cantonese which I catch no ball. Nai nai said that she is wishing that I will be a good girl and be a healthy baby. Papa didnt manage to take a picture of me with her though.. so wasted. Hope I will get to see her again this coming CNY when I will be 7 mths old!
