Can you try Durian?!

Have you heard about Durian before? It widely known in Southeast Asia as " The King of Fruit".

The word Durian means thorny in Malay. There are recognised 30 species and It can grow up to 30 centimeters long.

Some people describe Durian's taste as sweet and creamy like custard, however the smell is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad like STINKY SOCKS or GAS!!

The smell will KNOCK YOU OUT!! I always get a bit headache when I walk through the store where are selling Durians..

I often tried to eat Durian but I couldn't because of the smelling..
I remember my brother tried Durian once before and he said he was feeling like eating garbage(he never had garbage though lol).
Maybe It's because it was first time for him to had Durian..because my grandma loves Durians and she has been eating them for a long time.

Anyway It's too stinky so you are not allowed to bring Durian into the airports,hotels and some buildings..

There is a belief that the Durian is harmful if you eat it with coffe or alcoholic, so you should be careful!!


There are some Durian cake,ice cream and candy so at first I'm going to try some of them..

Please try Durian if you have a chance:)

Malaysian "Ghost Tree"...?

Many people have been to a small village in Penang state, just to see a nut tree.

Are you interested to see a normal tree? not really for me..but in this case,I'd love to see this special tree which is called "Ghost tree"!!


here you are..what do you think?www.dphotojournal.com/creepy-trees/



I wonder he looks sleepy or sad.. www.daylife.com/photo/05pX97vgMeac5


Villagers say that this was a normal tree before,then human face appeared on this tree naturally day by day..village elders have advised you shouldn't say what you think when you pass this tree..I don't know why though..Do you want a kind of tree like this near your home? then you can stay with him whenever you feel lonely?!
