Taiping Mari

Since my hometown is Taiping, I am rather keen about Taiping happenings. Recently, my friend added me to Taiping Mari facebook. It is rather interesting there. I could see a class photo with my favorite teacher in it. I'm so happy to see her and I hope she is still in Taiping. I would like to meet her again. I'm sure she must have long forgotten me.

As I browsed further, I chanced upon a familiar name. He might be my husband's long lost friend when they were in primary school. I have messaged him and hopefully he is the one my husband is looking for.


As for me, I have found quite a number of my friends already. I have actually met some of them too. I have been to KL meeting them and recently I was in Taiping meeting another batch of friends.

I am indeed happy to see my friends again. We chatted away happily as if we were not lost at all..

Twin bananas

Image
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..
