VISITING AN EX-COLLEAGUE IN TAMAN NUSANTARA

21st JULY 2021 ~ I was making a home visit at a friend's house at Taman Nusantara in Gelang Patah. It was not because of Eid ul-Adha but I just wanted to pass some rambutan fruits to the family. It is customary for the host to invite the guest in for a drink so that was what happened - but only for a short while. It was great to see Puan Rokiah Junoh, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti and her husband, Mr. Abdul Rahman again. We just cannot wait for the time when people are allowed to sit in a bigger group for a social gathering.

ALL IN A DAY'S WORK

The rambutans were ready for plucking - some of them so I had to work hard to do just that. The low ones hanging from the branches were easily plucked with a pair of shears while those higher up would require a pole. Unfortunately, the old pole I had was broken in half while I was busy twisting the small branches to get the fruits off the tree. Guess that should be all in a day's work.

One thing for sire, I would be needing a new long pole when the rambutans ripen later, and someone to help me get them off the tree.
