Pink Banana

Finally I get the chance to meet up with fh2o, who is more commonly known as unker on Wednesday evening :) I shouldn't stand next to unker, cos he is so tall (6 feet) !!!!!!! We had a brief chat in Pizza Hut before heading to his stylo home.

He has a private jetty next to his cosy home. It was low tide yesterday evening, so the water level was low.

Tempted to count how many kayaks unker owns... Kayak.. *ahem* I will be sitting in one of these soon.. very very soon..

Unker's doggy :) Very friendly dog. She kept on wagging her tail & manja with me... I played with her and pat her head several times and she enjoyed it very much.

What are these pink coloured stuff?

Non other than the Pink Bananas or Musa Velutina Pinkie !!! Finally I manage to get a glimpse at these pink coloured bananas (after reading it in unker's blog end of last month).

I guess Pink Cotton will like this.. Pink coloured stuff.. The picture above shows pink banana flowers.

More pink bananas. Too bad these are non edible. Since Red Sponge dedicated a pink rose for Pink Cotton, so I dedicate this pink banana to Pink Cotton as well (since today is her blog's one year old birthday. ;)

The banana trees look exactly like the normal banana trees except the fruit is pink in colour :)

It was me who deleted the above comment because I was signed in someone else's account. I wanted to say

The bananas are poisonous? One show I watched on some kids series on tv, the characters made experiment to combine bananas and apples, become banapples.. and it's something like that.. shape of bananas but colour like apples. In that show, it's so acidic it melted off a girl's bicycle. Hahaha.. so silly.
