Taiping my hometown

Taiping is my hometown. I left my hometown, worked in PJ and then studied in KL. Then I worked in Pasir Mas before I stay put in Ipoh until now..Yesterday morning, I drove all the way to Taiping. Normally my mum will take a bus back but this time, I had to drive her back. She had too much stuff to carry back home. So I took leave..

That's the entrance to Taiping..


then to Simpang..


before I turned in at this junction.


If I go all the way, I will reach Taiping town


Finally, I sent my mum back to her house safely..


Then, I took her to see our old home..


Saw our favorite sundry shop but it's already vacant..


Saw my old place from here. 
The double-storey house has already taken over its place.


My neighbour's house..still the same. My old house was almost alike..


I don't get to see my old house anymore..

    kind of sad. Last September, I got to visit the house I grew up in. The people living there were so kind, let me come in, and gave me a tour of the ground floor.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
