We just hosted my sis-in-law's Japanese friends on Saturday night. They have the funniest ways of expressing their delight and almost everything is new to them. Suddenly, I'm now appreciating what we have here in Malaysia.
"This is a banana tree"
"Go on, eat the mango." "But we've never had mango fruit before. We love it. In Japan, mangoes are very expensive. We only eat mango pudding and sweets."
"What? Roti canai is less than AUD0.30?" (all monetary amount is valued in AUD as they spent a lot of time in Perth)
And our breakfast at an Indian roti shop was met with satisfied sighs of "O.... oishii!" (delicious) and kaya was an instant hit.
Last night, we also had another type of visitor.
Doesn't she/he look like Jay? I still can't figure out if it's a male or female. It looks male, meows like a male but is missing his balls!
By the way, (s)he was so angry at my numerous flash of the camera that after I took this one, (s)he was blinded for a while and angrily took a swipe when I tried to pet it's head to ask for forgiveness.
Ah, we'll see how long (s)he'll hang around. Not much character though as (s)he's not very fun to play with.
