It was Saturday 13th September 2014. We made a long winding journey towards Muadzam Shah Pahang for a wedding invitation. Wan Afifi, an old friend was giving away her pharmacist daughter. The journey covered 220 km with a big portion going through countryside, green with oil palms. We agreed departing at 7.30 am but it eventually we took off by 8.30am. Yop, the eldest son drove all the way....
About 10 km before Muadzam Shah, there were rows of makeshift stalls by the roadside selling buah keranji - dialium indum or velvet tamarind. We grabbed two packets at RM5.00 each, and continued to Wan Afifi's place.

Keranji taste so wonderful, a sweet version of tamarind..!!
there goes the evergreen pantun,
Sorong papan tarik papan
Buah keranji atas perahu
Suruh makan saya makan
Suruh mengaji saya tak tahu
