just another sunday

Sunday.

After the usual chores: abil and I swept the leaves around the compound, arief swept along the corridor, nia swept upstairs, missus swept ground floor; headed for breakfast at Dolah’s. normally I would water the plants too but since it rained the previous night, I had my load lighten a bit.

home at kg Pasir Pandak

Dolah’s café was situated by Kuala Batu Lapan, and I have frequented it since my early days in Lekio. As usual I would call and order so that once we got to the café,  everything was ready. For yesterday’s breakfast, I and my missus had nasi lemak with kari ikan: ikan termenung freshly caught. The children, abil arief and nia, had nasi lemak with fried chicken. I asked for two small glasses and one big glass of teh tarik, and for side order, there were roti bako and half boiled eggs. Memang layan la..

When I called Dolah, he asked me to come in fifteen minutes time and since we were already in the ranger, I took everyone for a drive through pasir pandak. Kg Pasir Pandak is an old village and the drive was a pleasant one especially so with the serenity and rustic houses along the road.

raining catS n dogS!!

Once breakfast was over, we got home and everyone continued on their work @ chore. After lunch at 3 pm it was time to send arief back to Igop. Luckily I was not sleepy as I would normally be as I had a nap around noon. The dark clouds across the horizon promised rain, and true to it, the rain came. Almost all the way to and from igop, the rain fell from heaven and at Lekio it was raining cats and dogs. Traffic was at a speed of 30-40kmh because cars in front of me were cautious. I tried overtaking now and then but some cars from the opposite direction couldn’t bother turning on their headlamps which made overtaking a dangerous thing. I just couldn’t understand what’s going on inside the mind of the drivers who just don’t care to switch on their vehicles light as a precaution to other vehicles.

Alhamdulillah I got home in one piece.  And after dinner, I was ready for bed, perhaps due to tiredness and also because of the cold and damp weather.

And just like that, another day was over.
