Blissful moments...

"Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss..."

Over the years, we became busy with work and other things, the kids went to boarding schools, universities and later work and got married. Kebun Sungai Rambai has been somewhat neglected. Even though there was an effort to pay some one to look after this kebun and 2 more kebun that we have acquired after that, but what a waste of money.

(Resting after a hard day"s work...)

Almost every weekend now, we go back to kebun Sungai Rambai and clear bushes and lalang. The back-breaking process is made easy with bush-cutters and machineries. But still, it is tiring after a day’s hard work. But it is also a form of exercise as we sweat buckets and sleep like a log at night. And we enjoy the fresh air, the serenity of the surroundings, and the chirping sounds of birds and insects during sunrise and sunset.

The old cempedak trees have rotted and died. Some durian and dokong trees that remain have been pruned back to provide space and light, some will eventually be removed and replaced with new fruit trees. Some fruit trees do remain as testament to those blissful moments when the kids were still young and used to play around the chalet and in the attic.

  2. Bunga Rampai,

    Tahun ni kami mengerjakan korban dalam hujan lebat, dengan dihiburkan oleh nyanyian katak-katak.

    Harap-harap usha berkebun tu bukan hangat2 tahi ayam hi hi ....

  4. Zino,
    Dulu masa kecik2 kita orang jarang balik kampung. Rumah atok pakai pelita, dinding dari buluh.

    Mandi air perigi and jamban kena gali sendiri... hi hi..
