Spymama Eating Satay

wow... because Spymama is busy updating the other blog, she has totally forgotten about this one. But then she keeps this one cos some of her lovely bloggers don't allow non bloggers to comment. Anyway, if you happen to be here, don't forget to check out my other blog at http://mamakshop.com because the action is really over there. But of course I will post some little Spymama's misc items here becos why should i have a blog that remains dormant, right?

As Spymama was typing away, i'm actually having that yummy Satay that I grilled on my grilling frypan just now. I got those easy peanut sauce that just need to add some water then microwave and voila! Spymama has some satay for tea.. here, this is my last stick... treat you to a visual satay.



This is Spymama's Chicken Satay..

Lucky Cats - Maneki Neko

I love Lucky Cats! Do you? These cats are also called Maneki Neko or the Beckoning Cat. I used to have one in my shop that is battery operated. These are placed facing the shop entrance to bring luck into the shop.

The paws that is beckoning is said to be inviting gesture for fortune, luck, money, business and luck. The raised left paw is said to beckon for customers and the raised right paw is about money. So, there is no right or wrong in the paws whether it is raised left or right. Do you own one of this? Some has it in their keychains, handphone straps, in their car, and also as display on their computer.

This cat is very popular in Asia, originated from Japan, of course and many businessmen in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and even some Chinese businessmen in Europe and US adopt this cat method for luck in business too.
