Aunt : Do you know the owner of the shop we rented from has 4 wives....
Me and Mum : Omg, are u serious???
Aunt : Yeah yea!! And to make it worse, he's like this tiny man... but keep bullying them; beating and slapping them at his will.
Me : All four of them???
Aunt : No no.... only 3 of them now.... the first wife cannot tahan... shifted out and stay with their son in KL already.
Me and Mum : Wah!! Why didn't the wives retaliate and fight back???
Aunt : That's why la!!!!! We all in the area think he used some jampi (black magic).. make them willing to get beaten up and not do anything!
Mum : Yeah!!! That was also my first thought!!! That old man pukau the woman!
Me and Cousin : *Sweats* Cannot be la!!! Where got so terrer!!
Aunt : Got!!! Now even worse!! He's currently trying to tackle this form 6 girl. And she's also quite interested in him..... everyday after school she will come over to the shop and 'chit chat' with him...
Me, Mum and Cousin : Isn't he like 60++ years old and she's probably 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aunt : That's why we say jampi lo!!
Me and Cousin : Then shouldn't you report to the police!! Domestic violence and potential use of
jampi/ hypnosis!!!!!
Aunt : Aiya, won't work one..... *silence*.. *changes topic*...
Me and Cousin : *speechless*
Anyways, my aunt was sweet enough to bring us food which she made from scratch! This included wanton, fuchuk, sambal (chilly paste) and her super yummylicious rice dumpling (a.k.a Bak Zhang!) I didn't even know the festival is reaching near but that didn't stop me from eating it right after my aunt and cousin left!
-It cracked opened by itself after it was heated up! See the chestnut!!-A warning to everyone not to eat too much of the dumpling at one go. It causes constipation. I learnt that last year. It isn't worth it. Trust me....
