My Favorite Brother-in-Law

My brother-in-law from Newcastle, Australia came to visit us after his trip to India. The last time he came back was in July 2011 as it was his nephew's wedding..It has been a year and a half since we last saw him.

When my parents-in-law were still alive, he came back regularly. Now he still does his best by seeing us as regular as possible.

He is the eldest son (third in the family) of my late PIL and my husband is the second youngest in the family of 12 siblings. He is a permanent Australian resident since he married my European SIL in Australia.

I knew him even before I got married. I remember each time he came back, I would be his guide. I would take him all over the place.

But this time, I couldn't make it. So my girl helps me by taking him around for food. He will be here for a short while. His siblings are going to meet and have a great dinner.

Have a nice stay here in Ipoh, my dearest BIL..

    I guess he would have many items on his to-do list and to-eat lists in M'sia since he has not been back for so long. Hope he enjoys his stay here!

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..
