Almost Accident

We were on our way back from KL on the 3rd day of CNY.
Along the journey, we could see the traffic congestion on the other side.


Our drive was smooth sailing until we reached Ipoh. Can you spot the word 'Ipoh'?


We needed to go into Jelpang exit.


To Ipoh..on our left.


To Penang, those people got to keep right.


It was almost 5.30pm when we reached the exit. My husband drove all the way from KL. Normally I would take over halfway. But, that time, I was busy sleeping. So, I just couldn't be bothered.

Well when we almost reached Ipoh, I was fully awake. My husband was driving in the middle lane but very close to the fast lane. Suddenly, a white van by past us and our vehicle almost got knocked on the driver's side. Our vehicle was bumpy and luckily my husband managed to maneuver it safely.

Thankful, he didn't knocked the car in front of him.

A while later, another van passed by us. I was surprised to see that it had slowed down a bit and the passenger at the back seat wound down the glass and jutted out half of his body. My goodness, he showed his middle finger and shouted, "xxxx you"!

Immediately, he was back inside the van and it sped away!

My husband said it was not his fault as he was on his own lane. But I told him that he was wrong as he was so near the fast lane.

Anyway, no one was injured. So we were thankful that we were safe.

    I wish everyone would drive slowly and patiently. I don't understand why everyone must go so fast when there is no emergency at all...like they're in a hurry to head to their death! In Hokkien, kua khee see! Tsk! Tsk!

    my wife always sleeps the moment I start driving on the highway for long trips.

    Thank god you and your family are fine. Just ask him to be more careful and if he gets sleepy, better to stop and rest, then only continue.

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..
