Cheng Cheng???
This is how Ern pay respect to Buddha. Whenever we say the word "cheng cheng", she will look up for the Buddha and move her hand.
Don't ask me why "cheng cheng" because Poh Poh taught her that. I did asked Poh Poh why but was told it's a 'kiddy' word. So, it's just like we say 'mum mum' for eating.
Obviously, she didn't get the act right, ie to put both palm together (双手合十). To me, it's more like paying respect to the Emperor during the Man Dynasty, the "Wong Seong Kat Chiong" thingy. LOL!
