Balik Kampung.... again

i went back to kuantan again last weekend.

but on friday i went to lumut and on the way back stopped by teluk intan for lunch at restoran ghulam rasul. delicious signature ayam goreng. brought back 10 pieces of ayam goreng and 2 large kepala ikan. heh heh... fahroe came over that night to belasah the ayam and kapla ikan. sendat perut kekenyangan.

left kl around 4 pm saturday, as xyl was still working in the morning. banks are starting the 5-day week only in august. so arrived kl uneventful at 7 pm.. as i slept most of the way. hahaha...

had dinner at parents place and a race to my sis for she has astro. i've missed two af concerts and would not want to miss the one before the final. but it's also fun to meet my sister and her family as havent seen her for a few months already. last trip back did not have a chance to visit. i also found out my niece (not ifos, mind you) is an "ardent" fan of kefli and elliza. tsk tsk tsk... kantoi. so her disappointment and disapproval of that nights result was, shall i say, conspicuous?

went to kebun sunday morning and harvested sacks of manggis, rambutan and cempedak. climbed the manggis tree all the way up until about 20 feet above ground. big tree about 30-35 feet tall. challenging but i proved i can still climb. yeayy...

collecting rambutans proved to be quite challenging and adventurous. my maid got swarmed by lebah lalat and i got stung too when i was removing the lebah lalat. boy, was painful but nothing that cannot be remedied by continuous application of minyak geliga. could have been avoided if she had recognized that sarang semut does not have "semuts" flying around it.
