Apples, Grapes... And Chickens

I am bored sitting, thinking and typing. Somebody whisk me to New Zealand, my dream country... I've always wanted to pick apples straight from its tree and eat ripe grapes from the vines and milking cows!cow

I think I'm homesick, I miss home, I miss kampung (village) life. Chasing chickens and planting my own flowers and vegetables... except I don't have any chickens back home. Well, I could always buy from the market and rear one, just one cos two would be a handful. I don't like the thought of having to clean up chicken poo...

Gotta be patient... next year is only three months away. OMG! 2010 is just three months away???! surprise

Hi VanillaSeven! Welcome to Mumblings :)

Nessa said...

Mama Mia ~ Macam best seja kan kalau ada pokok apple sama anggur ni... :D

Nenek sia pernah tanam anggur... tapi masam sama karas tu anggur, kicik lagi tu!

Nessa said...

LOL! Anny and her trademark 'abissss' :D

Yeah, then we'd know exactly how Isaac Newton felt when an apple fell on his head :P

Sila2 tumpang... but if you get caught... errr, I don know you!

Nessa said...

Mas ~ Aiyah, so sayang kan kana jual sudah. We used to have an orchard too... banyak pokok rambutan, ada pokok durian juga mangkali tu.

Tapi teda suda the pokok... sbb the tanah (bukit) kana jual, mo bikin rumah. Besa la skrang, orang tanam rumah, inda mo tanam pokok suda.

Never mind Mas... kumpul duit banyak2, nanti bili kebun buah-buahan :D

Nessa said...

Bain ~ Memang cute. Bain bila lagi... is baby on the way?? ;)

Aziha said...

hi..Nessa...bestnyer tgok apples..slurrp..i remembered my husband told me..when he was in Norwich UK, they planted apple tree at the road side..tp x de org pn petik..and they looked so ripe and glowing red..he nad friends pn..petik la nk makan..once bite into it..it was tasteless..

agaknyer the local tgok org M'sia petik apple..tuh..Hah..biarkan..rasakan ko.. :)

Nessa said...

Jiaaaaa!! :D Welkam back my dear :D

Yelah, agaknya kalau pokok apple kat tepi jalan tu tak elok... mesti tanam kat kebun... sbb tepi jalan banyak asap keta, lori, motor, beskal... hehe

C said...

Girl, my mother's family owns a fruit farm in a small town here in the Philippines, and oh my god...how I miss chasing around those chickeeeennnnssss!!!! :))))

aaaahhhh...and picking star fruit in the mornings and just washing them in the hose and biting right into them!!!! aaaahhhhh..... :))))

I love small towns! :)

Nessa said...

Charity ~ My mom used to rear chickens, lots of them and I hated them cos they poo everywhere!

Yeah, nothing beats fresh fruits. I love small towns too... quaint little villages with clean streams and paddy fields ... ahhhh... fresh air :D

hitesh rawat said...

Nessa said...

Hi Hitesh! Welcome to Mumblings :)

Lucky you! That must be some experience huh. Bilori must be a nice buffalo, cos she didn't kick you... hehe

Yeah, I was lucky enough to ride buffaloes too... we used to plant rice those days (80's and 90's). It was so much fun! Now my kids don't even know how a buffalo look like! LOL!

Thanks for dropping by :)
