My friend in England

I have a friend, SS. We were neighbors when we were in secondary school. We used to cycle to school together. She is a great friend of mine.
After we left Form 5, she and another friend, SL left for England to do nursing. They actually asked me if I wanted to go with them. But I was not able to do so. Firstly, I had financial constrain and secondly, I couldn't stand the sight of blood.

So off they went and we kept in touch with each other. Finally, when they had finished the nursing course, SS stayed back but SL came back.

SS got married to an English man and she has two handsome boys. She used to come back to Malaysia every 2 years or so. We used to meet each other.

This time round, I will be visiting her. I have just got in touch with her. I told her that I would be free on the last day of my Europe tour. She said that she would call me then and I hope we could meet each other again as the last time I saw her was in May 2008.

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..
