Not the durian season.
OH MAN.From the title, you'll know that I didn't fulfill my wish of eating durians while in Malaysia. WTF
Anyway, I went there to attend my dad's COLLEAGUES' wedding functions. 2 separate ones, one in the noon and one at night.
Although I didn't get to eat what i set out to eat, it was still an enriching trip I must say. I learnt alot of driving and safety tips from my dad and his malaysian colleagues.
Will have more photos coming up, after my dad uploads the photos -_______-"
Start of my 2 hr journey to Tangkak.
My dad's RAY BAN from 20 years ago. MAI SIAO SIAO!
The FIRST bride and groom. The bride is a domestic helper aka Maid in Singapore. The groom looked noticeably YOUNGER than the bride, not to mention that he's quite good looking (i mean for THEIR standard lah). OH WELL. I can say that the maid kinda struck gold loh. Their family quite rich ok. Got durian plantations one hor.
The "celebration" tent outside the groom's house. WAH. BUAY PAI LEH. They even "BAO" the whole road down to let us park.
The couple bear in front of the car. Thought they looked pretty cute.
Guess what this house is???
I TELL YOU, it's for swallows. YES. BIRD'S NEST!!! WTF!!! There are quite alot of houses there that are specially for swallows. I call them the Bird's nest house. There is even a shopping-centre-building that is also one of the bird's nest house. So weird.
This is custard apple. Looks great huh? But sadly, they're not ripe yet. Moreover, the owner told us that they're often eaten by birds before they're ripe. So, no chance to eat lah.
Check this out man. Found this in the supermarket, The Store. It's found near the fruits. The little black things are FLIES. YES! HOUSEFLIES! THE ONE EVERYONE HATES!!! WAH. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE.
I thought of something else instead. They should use it on those fly swats. Wah. BEST LIAO.
The first couple. The bride's name is ALJIBE LUNABELLA. NOT ALJIBEL UNA BELLA or something. They can't even have any spacing. kns.
The guy in the background with red checkered shirt is a HORRENDOUS singer. He was outta tune, out of beat and mumbling through the lyrics. WTF. HE STILL DARE TO GO UP AND SING. knn.
This is cocoa. It's used to make chocolate!!! wow. I thought it was bittergourd. HAHAHA. We tried to crack those ripe ones open to eat, but it was rotten inside. Once again, the fruits fell victim to ants. They told me that the cocoa's flesh is sweet (cuz i thought it'll be bitter).
This is the 2nd bride's 2nd dress. IT LOOKS FUGLY IN REAL. Seriously, the pink is not a nice shade of baby pink, it's those ugly pink, like some cheapo dress. And wtf? The frills? Damn ugly. Seriously, the photo can't even capture the ugliness of it.
YES! This is what they serve for desserts in wedding dinners. HAHA. ok lah. They hold their wedding dinners in those restaurants. In Singapore, it would be very much considered to be LOW CLASS. Their menu is very different also. NO SHARKS' FIN!!! But the food is pretty tasty. HAHA.
DURIANS! Frozen ones though. It's a treat from the first groom. It's from his neighbour's durian plantation. Funny ah? It seems like everyone owns a plantation. It seems normal to own one. HAHA. Anyway, durians are pretty good frozen. They taste like durian ice cream. HAHA.
I'll be making another trip there in July for the DURIAN SEASON cuz I super buay gam wan. WHO WANNA FOLLOW ME???
