FRUITS SEASON


Fruits season is here now. Everwhere you will see fruits, fruits..and fruits. Lots of fruits. Various type of fruits. Thre's durian, rambutan, langsat, mangosteen. You named it, its all here. And the price, rock bottom. A durian cost RM1.00 eachor can be cheaper.

Last friday I went to Pusa Bazaar, on the way to Maludam in the Betong Division. Along the way you can see fruits vendors selling their jungle products especially durian and rambutan.
I did not stop by but proceeded to my destination. Stayed overnight at Sarikei after completing duty at Maludam.

The next morning I started my journey back. Along the way I stopped at various town and bazaar such as Betong, Saratok and Sri Aman. Pick up durian and rambutan along the road. I reached Gedong at 2.00 pm and waited for my son, Faizal, who is supposed to go back with me. He was not at home but still in the plantation. I waited until 5.00 pm.

By 5.00pm Faizal arrived. We proceeded to Kuching. Between Gedong and Serian we stopped by at the road side near a Bidayuh village and bought some more fruits ie langsat and rambutan. I snapped a few shots and proceeded to our destination.

We arrived in Kuching at 7.00 pm. Everybody's ready for tomorrow, Hari Raya Korban (Aidul Adha) but rain is still falling doown and we have to be ready for the worst. Wataer leevel may rise and flood may be here any time as what happen to us in 2003. I just hope for the best..
