On a Tuesday...

Made plans to make sushi the night before...so after getting all the stuff we needed from Giant and Tesco, we got down to business. Lil girl had her chance at it too....but cannot roll yet. So she was given the task of spreading the ingredients onto the rice. Anyway, we had fun chomping down the hand food that was being churned out. Tried with salami and asparagus but didn't go down too well. Asparagus was okay but the salami taste didn't seem to compliment the sushi.
In the evening, after Ling had her usual class with the girls (lil Rainbow and Sze Hui), while I had my nap; supposed to be a 5 minute nap but turned into a 2 hour sleep; we decided to go catch fish again. This time we ventured to the paddy fields at the edge of our taman.

This is a quaint little railway bridge over a small river. You can walk right under it...even as the train passes right on top...and feel your little world shake! 8)
It's quite scenic here. One can really just sit back and enjoy the country side...what's left of it. When our boy was smaller, we used to cycle here at every opportunity. The kids would sometimes follow us on their bicycles....all 5 of them! Once we even saw a 6 foot (I think, cos by the time the head got to the other side of the road, the tail was still touching the opposite side) python slithering across the road. The kampung folks gave a chase, of course. Never knew what happened to it. That was a couple of years ago, when Uncle John was still around!
Trying very hard to catch the fish in the former paddy field...didn't have much success with the bigger fish but they managed to catch quite a few baby fish.
The road under the track is just high enough for a Kancil to go under. This is a shortcut to some of the houses which dot the paddy fields. The other alternative is quite a few kilometers further, jimat petrol.
Some random shots of the surrounding area. This is a quaint little bridge which has been there ever since we moved here. It looks rickety but is actually quite sturdy still.
Saw a little girl playing on her hammock. Looks so idyllic and carefree! Beyond are the fields, green and growing. This is another place which we would cycle, with its narrow laterite roads.
Don't know what this is but thought it was quite unique. It turns even redder when it gets the water. Do not know whether it is a fungus or flower...most certainly not an insect since it didn't move! But quite pretty!
At night, I went for my badminton game. After that, we went out for supper with the Lohs...today is Papa Loh's birthday! The girls got him a cute toy... printed at the side there for those age between 4 to 80!! 8) And tonight too the girls had their first taste of century egg, after which they said it was like a Fear Factor thingy. It was really funny watching them swallow it. Ha! Ha! Lil Rainbow is spending the night at their place....her version of camp since her big bro is attending a camp now, I supposed.
