Even though it’s still early to say we are going to be success in cultivating bananas but I hope everything will be ok.

Cops on the Farm

Recently a group of Traffic Police Officer came to visit our farm. I asked them to pull some tapiocas and sweet potatoes so that they can bring some of this vegetables home to share with their family and friends. We were very happy to have Kampong Style lunch together, collecting vegetables, visiting goat pen and chicken coop and last but not least Dinner at Warung Harga Patut Pak Aziz. Thank you for your visits officer! (Salute)

Lifting the tapioca, as if they were lifting the injured road users

Giving the chicken some kitchen left over

We are very lucky because Pak Azizi always provides our chicken with his "warung" left over

Titi already in secondary school and registered in Kwang Hua secondary school, Meme back to SMKA Kuala Selangor, Adik Azim starts his practical training in Hospital Sultan Abdul Halim Sungai Petani and Abang Qhayyum as a third semester student  In KSKB Sungai Buloh.

Happy New Year 2013

Bye bye 2012 ... Welcome 2013....

We had a small gathering last night to celebrate the coming New Year 2013. Everybody was present at the gathering, my sister, my best friend, my niece and nephew. All my children also around except my beloved son Abdullah Iqram who presently pursuing his study in Egypt. We miss him very much because every single New Year he is the one who acting as an organizer. So this year the celebration not as great and elaborate as before (because he is not around to plan every detail) but everybody was happy and enjoys the night.

My Precious Goat

This year I manage to sell a few of my buck during Eid El Adha celebrations. Beside bull, buck is a favourite animal for scarifications. I can’t remember exact figure I have sold, but as far as I know, now, I only have two bucks in my pen. The return was very good and the nice part of it, people around Lenggong begin to reorganize us as a small goat herder who offers a healthy and clean medium size goat with an affordable prize to everybody (hehe nice adds)
Since I don’t have a good sire now, I plan to buy a good Boer buck soon, but looking at my financial situation now, I have to keep my dream for another year.

good sire, but I can't keep him, he has too many offspring in my pen

Nice and healthy buck. Three of them were sold

Sold. I miss their fight 

Clean and healthy

Buck with black head already sold

Buck with black colour at the back was also sold

I think this one stay hehe

Small freshwater fish market in Sauk

Sauk is a small village nearby Lenggong town where my husband always goes for his favourite fresh water fish. Last weekend I have a chance to follow him to buy his favourite freshwater fish from a friend who owns a small stall at Sauk village. Even though I was introduced to fresh water fish two decades ago (since my marriage to my husband) but  I don’t really like freshwater fish, maybe because I came from a village which situated near the ocean where our main diet was ocean fish. Contrary to that I really like fresh waterprawn; to me it’s really delicious and tasty with no strong smell.  

 If you happen to come to Lenggong you may go to Restaurant Tasek Rabban where a lot of freshwater fish dishes to choose. For non Muslim, a lot of Chinese Restaurant sales freshwater fish dishes including the famous “Saito”

Rainy Season

While our friend in Northern hemisphere experience falling snow in winter, here we have heavy rain almost every day. This is a good time for planting seeds and suckers even though it’s quite scary when thunder and lightning strikes.
