Bagan Lalang picnic

It was cloudy when we got there. The morning breeze was superb and the shallow seashore was only about 50m away. Then it got a little warmer as the sky cleared and the water dried up pretty quickly (actually it's the gravity of the moon that had the tide fall effect). Soon, the seashore had moved to the middle and swimming meant a 2km trip to and fro in total. It's not an easy feat to swim as the tide turned and you had to carry your little bro on your back heading towards the deeper water far away.

I swam and swam like I never have before.

On our way back we passed by Uncle Rashidi's goat place. That's a nice business. We also hit some durian on our way to home while dad and I then attended a wedding ceremony nearby almost immediately afterwards.

We also managed to cut down a 'pole' rambutan branch that had grown 90 degrees up. It's not realistic so we brought it down. The rambutans have all shrinked for being a little too ripe - didn't make the specs for redistribution.

well, in competitive environment.. it does just that, growing 90 deg up in fight for sunlight and as soon as it branches sideways, the 'kait' or harvest of these fruits wouldn't be feasible anymore because it's too high.

this is 1 out of 3 that we cut the branch only.. and not the entire tree. the other two rambutan trees seem to b branching sideways more than upward.. :)
