Fruits are an important part of the diet of our families. The families liked certain fruits more than the others. Papaya topped the list in all our families. Others are durian, rambutan, mata kucing, mangosteen. I'm different and I like bananas most, then nona, mangoes, pineapples and watermelons. I take pomegranate too, especially the big and sweet ones. I also eat fresh persimmon when they are available. I take sweet Washington apples, fragrant rose apples, Sunkist oranges and Australian grapes when I can get them from the shops.
The Roman Bath House
My parents and I visited the Roman bath house in Bath, England. I can't remember much of it but it should be on the Internet. All I can remember are the big rocks that shaped the large rectangular open-air swimming pool with corridor all around it. There were some chambers for the Roman higher officers and other smaller bath chambers. The Romans had used metal sheets embedded at the bottom of the swimming pool to control water temperature. The water appeared greenish and it was steaming (hot) and it was autumn.
Cucu Dr Che Lah
I have heard people addressed me as Cucu Dr Che Lah. Some have addressed me as Tulip's daughter. But I think I look more like my father than anyone else, but nobody has addressed me as Rashid's daughter. I wonder why. It makes me smile sometimes. I don't look like my maternal grandmother at all. I have my grandfather's smile and I have my father's eyes.
Our Toes and Feet
So far, all I have seen are Greek toes formation in our families. Datuk Dr Che Lah, my Mak and myself have Greek toes formation. Datuk had large feet; Mak and I have small feet (size 5).
