However, it's the lunar 7th month (Hungry Ghosts Festival) now... The older generation and some young but "pantang" (superstitious) Chinese believe that swimming is forbidden during the 7th month.
I'm actually not "pantang"; I have actually gone swimming throughout the 7th month several years ago.
However, Ah Ma disallow us from bringing Karyn to the pool as she's still very young (which supposedly translates into "very vulnerable").
Worse, this "inauspicious" month spreads over 2 months this year and only ends on September 22.
Sigh... Looks like we can't let Karyn "thrash" it out in the pool anytime soon.
Nevertheless, the search for Karyn's swimsuit has been well underway since a couple of months ago.
Mummy has been surfing forums and websites for the ideal baby swim gear.
Bubbaducks from Australia is the most "temptalicious" (tempting + delicious) and also most damaging to the pockets. It cost A$69.95 without including shipping charges!
Well well, in the end, we decided to buy one off the rack from OG Orchard Point.
It was rather late by the time we got home. But I was still reeling from the excitement of the new purchase...
