This was Friday, eve of General Election (GE15). Younger son took about 5 hours of driving to reach home which on normal days will only take about 3 hours. Both our sons return home for polling day which was on 19th November (Saturday). That evening, we had home cooked dinner for the 4 of us.

Minced meat with fish paste patties.

Blanched home grown nai pak choy, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

19th November (Saturday) was polling day.

I was the first to finished casting my vote, so I waited outside the school gate for my sons.

I was standing beside a motorcycle which had the above image on the bike.

Hubby went back to Gopeng to cast his vote. My 2 sons and I went to Gopeng to join him for lunch at Lawan Kuda.

But first, we stopped at this traditional soy sauce factory in Gopeng to buy a few bottles of soy sauce for our sons' friends.

Sun dried soy beans using the traditional method of fermenting and processing the soy sauce and soy bean paste.

The products and their prices.

A newspaper cutting in 2013 mentioned that this factory is over 60 years old. So now in 2022, the factory will be over 70 years old.

I wanted to buy the thick soy sauce but it was out of stock. I bought a bottle of black vinegar to try. It had no label so I stuck a label to it in case I forget.

I would have you learn this great fact:

that a life of doing right is the wisest life there is.

If you live that kind of life, you'll not limp or stumble as you run.

Carry out my instructions;

don't forget them, for they will lead you to real living.
