Gracefully to 87th

We flew to JB on 9 November 2017 and spent the next four days in Batu Pahat. We were in BP to celebrate my mother-in-law's 87th birthday. Paul and Jun Shi also took time off to join the occasion from Singapore. This is the second time Jun Shi met the Lim's Matriarch.

In awe of the dish!
Together with Paul and Jun Shi, we visited the home village in Sri Gading and had a walk-about at the neighborhood to reminisce the memory lane. My wife just loved to walk along the man-made canal, one of her childhood play sites. The walk finally stopped at the confluence where it meets another canal. These canals were once used to transport smoked rubber sheets by rubber tappers and small holders to the main collector. This was also the favorite spot for local kids to spend their free time - swimming, catching small crabs and fish.
Water in the canal was crystal clear after heavy downpour the previous night.
