Where I Was

I know I’ve been MIA quite often lately, especially from blogging and blog hopping. Except for FB that is.. heheh. Well, these past few weeks, I’ve been busy with offline stuff - one that involves the family matter. So many things had happened. Death in the family, then another death.. then family business etc. But everything’s fine right now.

Just wanna share a couple of photos I took with my trusted cellphone camera yesterday. (For you SLR users, jangan ketawakan quality pictures aku ya? :-P)

This is where I have been spending most of my days for the past 2 or 3 weeks.

My dad’s kebun kelapa sawit (oil palm). Yep, that’s where I’ve been spending most of my time lately - not as boss lah, but as a kuli. LOL! If you ask me how’s the experience there, I can tell you this: Major back breaking experience! Totally huge difference from my easy life in the city. Not only you had to endure the hot sun, mosquitoes are also a major problem there. Especially if you come from a silver spoon life..

But overall, it’s a fun thing to do, especially when you’re done with your job by the end of the day and you’re sweating like a makcik. Totally beat those diet pills that work, I tell you. You can really lose a lot of weight from this!

This boots are made for walking. And I mean REALLY walk. If you wanna do a proper catwalk, you should consider getting this boots. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Anyway, it’s not like I’m doing all these to earn some money from my dad. It was done purely out of love. Ehehehe… Am not expecting any salary from him. I just wanna help him out and experience how it is being a kuli (laborer).

And what have I learned from all these?

I think the laborers deserves to be paid more. They are the ones who did all the hardwork to put money into the pockets of them big people.

:-)

PS: I’ll bloghop later. Just got back from a camping trip. Need the sleep!

I was raised in an oil palm estate too, since the age of 10. Indeed, a lot of hard work involved, but it’s the best place to be while growing up. Love the scenery and life there. :-)

eee..bagusnya u pegi with ur dad. i wish i was as rajin as you when my dad was still around managing his plantation.. now menyesal betul cuz didnt learn anything about plantations.

looking forward to your post about that camping trip!

Aww… but trust me, you can’t learn about plantation in a day or two. I know coz I’ve been “working” in one for 2 weeks now, and I still don’t know much. LOL

My turn will come soon!
