Fun with kids in Bukit Pelandok ~

We had a public holiday, on May1st & May2nd, both for Labour Day and Vesak Day.So we head back to mom's hometown, in Bukit Pelandok (near F1 Sepang circuit) 1hr15mins away from KL, just to spend sometime with our relatives back there. Basically, you will see a bunch of city kids with another bunch of village kids, and still,kids are universal, they love to have a good time!

We started out with noodle time at a local store, thats like the only store open on that 2 way street! i just absolutely love it to see them having a great time away from school!

we were laughing at the glass that Kevin was drinking Barley from, GuinessStout 'good for you' hahahahahaha...and check out his nails, it made me irks so much i had to take a pic of it, and ENLARGE to show him how filthy it is, he was pretty shy after that..

that's a handmade small hut, absolutely cooling just outside the house.
we're staying at one of our aunt's place, basically, village houses is big, spacious with lots of rooms, so we've no problem with space anyway.

kampung chicken! they're big, fat and delicious! cos they run around all they long! mom says she used to be the one who had to catch one for dinner. lol

then we head outside to play, the compound is huge, we spent most of our time running in doors, yes, your friend here, 'RUNS' ok?? i had to think of games to play with them, they basically, just call me "wen wen ah yee" "wen wen gu gu" depending on which family they're from.

we played chasing game most of the time, yes, my dear, i had to run also.

then we end up playing some 'tap the shoulder' kinda game,

then the kids gets rough, as boys always do, picking out the small ones to bully. they're so chummy, bully is nothing hahaha

then out of no where, a baby kid who was not playing, fell into the pond! and we had to save him, its pretty shallow,thank goodness..... and we're here trying to retrieve his slippers, its just so funny

then they hang out at the car

somewhere near the car park, thats a pathetic try on the word L.O.V.E. but love the kids for being up for any fun!

after shower and dinner, we head out for the biggest event! they told me this only happens once a year, so everyone in the village heads out to catch this festive carnival!

lots of colours and smoke, we totally enjoyed the busy atmosphere


girls pray....

so do boys!

this is the highlight, i have no idea what were they 'singing' about, in Hokkien 福建 language, but i just stare at it anyway

for its part of a strong chinese tradition

apart from watching stage musical play, we also had endless supply of RM1 icecream!!!! ohmygoddddd~~~

i love my yam ice cream,but the blue one below was champagne, and it taste ridiculous!

we stuffed our faced with coke and more coke!

and my fav moment of all, the FIREWORKS!!!! (video on the way!)
the kids having an absolute blast of time!

the elders too! brings back lovely memories for them when they were kids...

THE NEXT MORNING~~~~ we had heavy breakfast!

then we head out to visit dragon fruit farm, of one of our late grandma's close family friend, my mom told me, the lady visited my sick late grandma every single day prior to her passing away, the affinity they share is so strong i can feel it even when they talked about her.

kids are curious bunch, they basically , touch everything they see, or they attempt to, unless you stop them! haha seen here helping to carry coconuts!

seen here looking at long fishes...

AND the oddest turtle of all..ohmyfgod, this thing, according to the owner, eats chickens' intestines, and it will bite u if u put ur finger near to it and it hurts like mad!

lovely old place from decades ago..


they say uncle well shaped ear's means he can live a very long life...

these are some of his creations around the house....the hammock, the lazy bed for a lazy afternoon (videos on the way)

and the handmade swing! tied to the roof

thats manggis, mangosteen,山竹

荔枝 Lychee

king of fruits! durian 榴莲

龙珠果dragon fruit tree....looks like cactus.
