    not that things are cheap, but also can be very innovative.. things you can never thought of but you can just get some tools to do that with just a cheap price..

    I wonder how far Essex is from London. I will probably stay in London, Reading and Wales before crossing to Europe. I can't wait to bring my wife there as she had never been to an all white country. We have travelled around Asia too often.

    I think the one priced store concept has spread all over the world! I heard they originated from Japan. However I saw this concept when I was a student in US during 90s.

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..
