Tambun Roundabout

Tambun Roundabout is a very special roundabout in Ipoh. We were on our way back from the Polo Ground and I observed those lovely views.





Here's the replica of the crown at the roundabout. 
It looks much better with the fountain which is usually only operated at night.

    Very Malay - I guess that's typical of many towns in West Malaysia. Our towns here look quite different...

    I prefer less structures at round-abouts in this country. I believe there is much better use of public funds than putting up so many kinds of structures.

    I never thought a highway could be pretty, but this is quite a fun route.

    What a descriptive term "roundabout". Trying to think what would be comparable in the US--perhaps "the circle". Anyway whatever its name, the palm trees are so beautiful and healthy.

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..
