Lost Memory Found
Special Moments June 14th, 2009If it had not been for my FIL’s impulsiveness today, the memory of having durian feast with them might be lost forever.
When Allan and I were still dating more than a decade ago, I remember something really weird about his family. They were durian fanatic! That’s what I called them then. They would have durians as a MEAL! Normally it would be DINNER. 30-35 durians were shared between the 8 of us. And such Durian Dinner can happen 3-5 times a month during the durian season. *faint*
I still remember telling Allan, “You are lucky to find a girlfriend who likes durian.” *laugh*
Ever since my MIL and FIL fell really sick almost 5-6 years ago, this madness had stopped completely. I’m glad it came back again with 2 new additions to the durian-fanatic-family: Binbin and my youngest niece-M.Y. But because this time it wasn’t for a MEAL, the quantity dropped to just 11, but everyone enjoyed the slurping moment. It really feels like the good old days were back. *smile*
(Allan’s family didn’t want me to publish their ‘hungry-for-durian’ faces. So I purposely cropped it so that their faces were hidden.)

Ling,
It was extreme experience for Keatkeat.
The last time we gave him a bite into the ‘meat’, he vomited.
Even his dinner which was pretty much digested were vomited out too!

What about Keatkeat?
We did that too once in a while..it can be so “heaty” doing it few times in a month!

*drooling* Such a great way for the family to bond together. :)
Now I have to wait till hub comes back from overseas. It is so boring to eat alone isn’t it? My kids are just like KeatKeat, they don’t like durian too.
