Ramblings...
Last weekend we were back in Segamat. Also, it coincided with one of Jason's friend's wedding. It was a simple occasion. First was the church ceremony, followed by a small reception. After that, there was a break, and everyone went home to rest. After that, was the dinner in Jason's old primary school hall. A modern one of course. It's air-cond was cold!
In the afternoon, we visited his grandmother. And she gave us this imported grapes from Japan, which costs RM140. His grandma calculated there were about 97 grapes in the package. This comes roughly to about RM1.40 per grape! Isn't so ridiculous? So, we tried, and tasted. Wow. The grape really tastes like wine. Sweet, slightly fermented. Not sure what kind of grapes were these.. but it was good! If only we weren't having cough and flu, we would have whacked more. I took 2 grapes, and I could feel the heat through my throat. Haha.
And yes, to side-track a bit, I would like to introduce to you, BaoBao. Our landlady's dog. (By the way, yes, we're staying with the landlady and her family). I'm not exactly sure what breed is this, but it looks like a terrier. Smart dog, lazy at times, and stubborn, and tam-chiak (greedy). The last one most probably it's because they don't simply feed her with nonsense. All dog food. No such thing as chicken bones, or rice or that stuffs. In a way, it's cleaner that way, and not messy. Not sure how old is she, but herr fur is absolutely smooth and nice. It's just like some well-kept hair. Hahaha.. Cute dog, and she always never fails to greet us at the door when we unlock the grill. She can "smell" us from afar. Hehe. Well, Jason's dreams came true of having a dog in the house, minus the commitment. :P
(To take the pictures, we had to lure her with food. So difficult to get her pics as she was afraid of the flash).
