Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Pomelo

This photo of my pomelo plant was taken more than a week ago and now it is the size of a tennis ball.  There was another pomelo fruit but that dropped off when it was about a fifty sen coin.  Hopefully this one will grow to its full size and I have wrapped up the pomelo with a piece of paper to prevent any insects from attacking it.

I was so happy when the first batch of pomelos came out last year but it was shortlived.  Both dropped off when they were the size of a fifty sen coin.   Subsequently the tree bore another fruit and this time it grew until the size bigger than a tennis ball (diameter about 3.5 ").  My happiness was shortlived when it couldn't last and dropped off too. What a big disappointment!


This is a medium size pomelo which my colleague, Shin Yuan brought to the office to share. It costs RM8.00. The flesh is sweet and springy.  This fruit is so refreshing!
