Hi folks,

You bet! Where there's Ronni, there's fun. And what looked like a pretty boring evening, it turned out to be a mabok (drunken) evening for Ronni. Gosh, this guy can drink, and before he drank his first bowl of the Chinese wine, Li Ya Pek told him to drink and not to drive. Ji Gong offered his broken fan as the "magic carpet" for him to go home. (^^)



Ah, we were chatting around a round table while Ji Gong was holding court. Alamak, you know the jokes we shared .. a laugh too loud attracted Ji Gong. And of course, he zoomed in to the angmoh lang la. Ronni gamely responded and was immediately offered a bowl of the wine from his hu-lu. The wine looked fiery and certainly intoxicating. And seeing that Ronni could drink and game to try, he was offered more and more.

Just then, out of the blues, Li Ya Pek appeared from "hell" to join in the fun. Not only that, he then pulled Ronni back to "hell". In that darkened hell, he was offered cigarette, which Ronni gamely accepted. He was encouraged to take deep puffs. Tua Ya Pek was sitting there watching. When asked where he was from, Ronni answered, "Gua balu Penang lie", to which Li Ya Pek replied pointing out that "balu" si huang-na wei. Much to Li Ya Pek's surprise, Ronni not smoke the cigarette to the end, he ate it all, to the gasp of his audience.

He was then offered hot tea, only with another pot of lagi (even) more fiery Chinese wine, which he called "jiu-kui" meaning devil wine.

There was a lady interpreter who did a great job translating Tua Li Ya Pek's Hokkien to impeccable English.

Knowing Ronni, he asked for a hu (talisman), to which, Li Ya Pek offered him something smaller and asked him to cup them together with both palms. He told him that should he need help, just place the thing next to his heart, and call out for Tua Li Ya Pek three times.



I think this evening, Ronni stole the show, but well, the Deities were enjoying it and so were the devotees. (^^) Like a starry-eyed fan, Ronni asked Tua Li Ya Pek if he could take a picture with them. Li Ya Pek agreed and even asked for his hat. Dua Ya Pek joined him. It looked like Ronni had just gone to hell and took pictures with Tua Li Ya Pek! (^^)

He then left Hell back to "earth" to take a rest. He was perspiring heavily, probably flushed by the many bowls of Chinese wine. Just when he thought he was stable enough, Ji Gong called him back again! Wow, this Ji Gong knows the Hi-Five. He was certainly in his most mischievous mood, given the kind of reactions by this siow angmoh. He had a high five and turn around showing him his butt, to which Ronni gave a whack. Aiyoh, salah (wrong) la. (^^) He wanted the back to back hit. And so, they tried again, this time with Ji Gong getting down from his dragon chair. Gosh, the force from Ronni's butt must be so great that he sent Ji Gong flying, almost hitting me flat! (^^)

And when Ronni replied to his question, saying that he could recognised him a Ji Gong, the monk, Ji Gong was so pleased that he asked for his "wooden-fish" and "metal bowl" to teach Ronni how to hit the wooden-fish six times before hitting the bowl, and twirling the beads. It looked easy but was not so as Ronni tried to keep his tempo and both hands working. He failed, and he time, he had to drink a bowl of the Chinese red wine!



Before Ronni could run off, this time, Ji Gong suggested Guiness Stout! Just as Ronni was taking his swipe at the Stout, suddenly Ji Gong fell lame into the dragon chair. He had gone, leaving Ronni and the other assistant to finish the bottle of stout! (^^) Ronni was teasing that assistant daughter if her papa should be drinking. The little girl suggested that Ronni should drink. Ah, Mama has taught the little girl well. And so, this siow angmoh had to drink la. (^^)

What a night .. and Ji Gong asked Ronni to come back tomorrow (that is today) to meet him by the bridge. They are crossing the PingAn Bridge tomorrow. All these while, Ji Gong did not speak a word, just mere hand signals and body languages. His assistants tried to convey his message in English to Ronni.

What a night! (^^)
