As I get older over the years, I realised that my memory has a shorter span to remember. Just forget the unhappy moments to encounter quarrelsome people and events. Time is short and impermanent.<br /><br />Just as unprepared happy moments to capture with a camera whenever available, brains are not lost as long as we are alive.<br /><br />However, my memory is not as quick as I was young.<br /><br />Thus I now choose to store my shrinking brain for selective memories for happier moments to share with friends and not to harp on unpleasant ones. Happy blogging!Thimbuktuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495581875211093357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-57016922301346758212011-09-25T18:08:49.681+08:002011-09-25T18:08:49.681+08:00wah sey, you guys know how to have fun eh? :)wah sey, you guys know how to have fun eh? :)Ivan Chewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727226573817276108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-72696726273871729522011-09-25T16:38:25.183+08:002011-09-25T16:38:25.183+08:00Wee Kiat, most "Ang Moh" (meaning the Du...Wee Kiat, most "Ang Moh" (meaning the Dutch) regards durian as "eating smelly cheese inside the latrine" simply the taste of urine...a kind of food culture shock.

Chun See,
>Too bad no ang mor lew lian.<...Hi! Chun See,<br />>Too bad no ang mor lew lian.<<br />The "ang mor lew lian" fruit(Soursop, Sweetsop) is known as "Durian Belanda" in Malay. The "lew lian - Durian" part is because of the thorny skin (like the durian) while "Belanda" refers to the Dutch (the Dutch ruled Indonesia for many years.)<br />So, the "ang mor" here refers not to an English man but a Dutch man.<br /><br />Sorry, didn't have time to show you the Breadfruit trees surrounding the multi-storey carpark. The Breadfruit is (was) the fruit that started the "Mutiny on the Bounty" a couple of hundred years ago.<br />Regards to all,<br />wee kiat<br />============WK Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088289097076966698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-4531344662121000332011-09-25T10:25:02.282+08:002011-09-25T10:25:02.282+08:00Thanks Chun See.

I haven't even found time to download Peter's huge but magnificent photos.<br /><br />You probably did not realise that at one point Wee Kiat and I went round to check out some of the fruit trees in the 'secret location'. Spotted a cocoa tree, a buah susu climber as well as several nangka trees.

You said so much but you forgot about the ang ku kueh resting temptingly in their styrofoam box waiting to whet your appetite!<br /><br />How nice, got Ukulele, will travel. You all must be having a whale of a time. How nice. I was at home furiously trying to clear the last class of compositions in the Prelims Exam. How I wish I could be there - so idyllic, so lilting, so nice. <br /><br />Great outing for sure.
