Jenguk-Jenguk Wan & Atuk Rantau

Today, 21st July, 2007 the 3 of us went back to Rantau...Ma's kampung to check on the fruits; if any is left by the marauding pests (ooops!).

Pa's car has been sent to the workshop for some overhauling works (sounds major). We talk about that in another post. Anyway, we left our Seremban house in the mechanic's car about 12 noon since Pa had an appointment to see a colleague...work matters. So, Pa dropped Ma & I at the Pacific Supermart on his way for his appointment.

By 1.30pm Pa was already back to pick us up. The heavy downpour had just stopped when Pa arrived...hmmmm...good timing! We stopped for lunch at a nearby eatery before heading back to Rantau. A quick pit stop to buy some 'kuih' and we were already on our way in the rain again.

Wan, Atuk, Mami and Uncle Li were home and happy to see us back...and equally surprised to see the car we drove.

After dinner we headed back to our Seremban home...with some of the fruits picked earlier by Atuk. Tired but happy.

The rain leaving its mark on the 'pucuk ubi'


The rambutans...partially ripe.


So is the rambai...the langsat is gone last week


This are the rambutans and manggis earlier picked by Atuk


This is not 'air sirap' for sale but just red coloured water to scare the monkeys...a tip someone shared with Pa.


...and this is what happened...the monkeys actually went for it! Some tips...


The durians? Here it is...turned into 'tempoyak'.


And here I am...with the satisfied look...after balik kampung.


Again, thanks Pa and Ma...not forgetting Wan, Atuk, Mami and Uncle Li at kampung.
