SA bits 18 - Visiting

Went visiting to Uncle Roy's place today. He is currently renting this cottage on the first floor of a house nearby our place. Very big compound as you can see.




The landlords dog, called Oscar; a very friendly Pitbull Terrier.

Oscar also has a nickname,Jumpalingam. Now go figure it out.
The landlord called Mr. David, has green fingers. This man doesn't buy any of his vegetables. He grows them himself in the front and backyard. He is seen here working on his vegetable plot. Lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, chillies etc.

He was quite surprised to hear that I was from Malaysia and Uncle Roy continued to explain how he got to know about our country from a job offered to him about 2 years ago. If he had accepted, he would've assumed the position of a Senior Manager in a hypermarket corporation (Giant if I don't recall wrongly). He would've earned quite a big amount of salary per annum according him, but he just couldn't because of personal reasons. Weird in my opinion, are we that short of management personel in the country with such caliber? I don't think so, at least not in the past 2 companies I came from.
