On Monday evening, we were invited over to Keiko's home for supper.  Keiko is the mother to the two Chinese kids that we are teaching English to each week.  Fang Yee is 13 years old and can read
very well and write very well, but he doesn't understand anything in his comprehension.  Fang Ning is his 8 year old sister and she is quite an active little thing.  We had a delicious chicken with potatoes and a green salad.  They told us that next time we are invited, they will cook traditional Chinese food.
Keiko is so very kind and speaks little to no English.  She gives us food almost each week to thank us for teaching her children.  The kids come over every Tuesday and Friday for one hour in the afternoon and I teach Fang Yee and Linda reads with Fang Ning.  She is very proficient in English.
We were fortunate to meet the dad.  He came out and we all ate together and talked.  Dad speaks very good English.  They made mother a nice birthday cake and had her blow out a candle as Fang Ning played "Happy Birthday" on the piano.
 
 The Chinese people, here in Malaysia, are much better off and this little family of four has their own maid.  The bottom picture is the Chinese Family and the other two pictures are some food that Keiko dropped off yesterday to us.  It is rice and beef rolled up in "pandan" leaves and tied together.  It is really good stuff. 

We just got back from shopping at the local store here and found some dill pickles.  Yeah!  Almost weekly I get a small jar of green olives, which I love and now, we can get some dill pickles.  We found one kind of cheese that tastes pretty good and today, I bought a large gallon container of Mango Juice (jus mangga).  We still can't find anything close to Macaroni and Cheese and I'll ask the kids to send us some Chocolate Malt- O - Meal, which I love for a snack.  I got Linda a really great birthday present, but it won't come to next week.  She has no clue so I'll put it in some future blog.
