After our lunch, my immediate family and I joined one of my paternal uncles, who owns the house we were staying in after the passing of my paternal grandmother, and his girlfriend in visiting our family's durian plantation. The highlight of the durian plantation visit is meeting my uncle's female dog Baak Baan for the first time.

Baak Baan was a stray dog that was founded by my uncle when she walked into our durian plantation one day months ago. At the time, Baak Baan was injured, and starved to the extent that her ribs were visible. Thankfully, under my uncle's care, she had become healthier, so she became my uncle's pet and guard dog. She was named Baak Baan after the mahjong tile [白板]{lang=zh} in Cantonese. Baak Baan was a good girl, and we enjoyed greeting and petting her.

This was the first Malaysian film I watched with my parents in cinema. I did not expect much from a Lunar New Year film to be a masterpiece since such films are made for entertainment first and foremost, but I had some good laughs out of the film.
