after a simple praying ceremony to the ancestors, several items were put in a tray before him - a book, pen, abacus (we used calculator as replacement), money and chicken drumstick. each of these items represent a career and the first object he touches is supposed to signify his inclination. this is a very old chinese tradition when the first son of a family turns one.
we actually reckon little darren will go for the calculator because the tv remote control used to be his no.1 toy. he loves playing the colorful buttons and even smash the remote control till it broken edges. since the calculator is similar look, it's not a wonder that he would go after it. so, guess what? the answer is absolutely correct! he even pick it up for thrice, not just once. even ah ma was trying to divert his attention to other objects, end up he still wanted the calculator!
it was rather a short ceremony, but because of his siesta time, little darren was pretty worn-out by the time it's over.
