Tan Mui : Oh yes, Kim Eng. Can I help you?
Kim Eng : I phone up to invite you to come over to eat durians.
Tan Mui : How nice of you. I was thinking of you and you durian plantation yesterday.
I remember how we went to the plantation together to pick durians and how
your brother helped us to open the durians.
Kim Eng : I remember that. This year, there are more durians. The trees are full of fruits.
Last year, the rambutan and duku trees did not bear fruits. This year, they bear more
fruits than usual.
Tan Mui : I can’t wait to be there.
Kim Eng : you can’t come tomorrow, I will be free. I’ve also invited Normah and Mala. They are
willing to come. But they have no transport. I suppose your father will be fetching your here.
Tan Mui : Yes.
Kim Eng : Can you do me a favour?
Tan Mui : Why not!
Kim Eng : Please fetch Normah and Mala at the bus station. They will be there at 9.00 a.m.
Tan Mui : I will surely do that.
Kim Eng : Be here tomorrow.
Tan Mui : I will be there with Normah and Mala tomorrow.
