on sunday she went to a/s with naj, q and bill. they took the old route, past expansive padi fields, rustic villages, people fishing along the canals on both sides of the road.
it was a mellow afternoon, timber houses cool under shades of spreading rambutan trees, chicken ever picking up bits and pieces on the ground, cats sprawled on door thresholds, happy children playing age old games.... she always love going by the old road....so much color and so picturesque....
they bought kuehs at a roadside stall; hot, yummy pulut udang, talam ubi kayu, abok-abok, cara, karipaf, popia goreng....
then they went to p/rabu. she bought serunding ayam, keropok, tapioca chips. she wanted to buy some lovely hot bahulu panas but the kids didn't want any. q said he wanted to buy songkok but she heard congkak, so she led him to the handicrafts section!
then she purchased some lauk from a stall there but was given the lauk plus a huge plastic bag of nasi minyak and macaroni soup too, foc! semoga dimurahkan rezeki.
they looked for the 'office' but went astray out of the town. asked for directions and reached the office, about 3 minutes from p/rabu!
on the way home she forgot to take pictures of the 2 traditional houses she's writing on...
they bought coconut juice from yet another roadside stall. then some really lovely tepung talam and cucur udang. and got free bengkang and extra cucur udang as the seller was about to close his stall. how kind some people are.
it was a wonderful outing....business done, great food eaten.....
