Grandma asked her to go down to the garden at our condo to cut some pandan leaves coz grandma wanted them for boiling sweet potato tong sui. Reluctantly, she sauntered downstairs with a pair of scissors. It was sizzling hot at 3 p.m. with an outdoor temperature of about 36-38 degrees Celsius. Minutes later, she video called me and bemoaned that she didn't see any pandan plant in the garden and that there were a lot of mozzies feasting on her limbs. She asked grandma and me where the pandan plants were located as there are a few small gardens at our condo compound. On the phone video, there's another plant with long leaves that resembled pandan leaves too. She kept telling grandma that there were no pandan plants and asked grandma to quickly tell her where the pandan plants were.
She got an earful from grandma who got pissed that she still didn't know what a pandan plant looked like and had no idea where the location of the plants was after living here almost all her life. But she kept insisting that there were none. Grandma was pissed, whereas she was huffing and puffing away under the scorching hot sun hunting for the elusive pandan leaves with mozzies feasting on her limbs.
To placate grandma she cut a bunch of long green leaves that resembled pandan leaves 99% and brought them up while lamenting that those leaves don't smell like pandan leaves.
Of course, she got lasered by grandma.
She stormed into the living room and plonked herself on the cold floor right under the ceiling fan as she was drenched in sweat after 10 minutes of being grilled in the killer heat outside, and bewailed non-stop that she got swarmed and attacked by mozzies. It's Dengue fever season now.
The next day, I checked out the garden at our condo and she was right. The pandan plants were no longer there. All the pandan plants must have been cut by residents during the lockdown.
