"This is Uncle You. This is Uncle Lee. This is Uncle Ting. This is Uncle Tan." My papa introduced his friends from Ipoh, Perak to me when he invited a group of Ipoh friends to our farm for fishing. It was a 6 fishing ponds farm.
I greeted them with respect. "Uncle You. Uncle Lee. Uncle Ting. Uncle Tan"
"These are our sons. They are a few years elder than you," said Uncle Tan.
I nodded with smile.
"Papa, what is this?" I asked my papa.
My papa replied,"This is Che Chin grass. It is for clean kidney. It is a traditional herb."

"Sure! This is RM 20." My papa replied.
