Little Garden Overhaul!

This is arwah bapak's little garden. In relatively little time masa balik kampung for hari raya for about a week...this garden has overgrown and ada 'pest' buat rumah unofficially under the bark of the palm's tree. That little pest make its' home sweet home by gathering the soils and pebbles and formed somewhat that look like a little hill to me and siap ada 3 lubang entrance lagik. Mula-mula ingatkan the kiddos yg dok hilangkan batu2 putih yg telah disusun by arwah bapak rupanyer2 kerja some big rodents. Gila punyer besar. Kucing pun lalu jerr. Terkejut badak..besarnya cam badan kucing ekkkk...so geli..! Then we called DBKL to get rid of the pest. It took about more than 2 weeks baru depa mai bubuh racun. I dah resah giler. Punyer lama...I didn't do any gardening work sebab takut. Nak buang sampah pun boleh phobia. Dah jadik cam routine pulak tunggu lori sampah sebab nak buang sampah punyer pasal. In the end called Mr. Bong from Suria Garden...mintak tolong overhaul garden bapak so that we all senang nak maintain. Tergelakk si Bong...sebab..well..I'm not a green thumb person takat trim & siram2 kasi hidup tuu boleh laa..kalau nak buat re-arrangement or tanam pokok baru I am absolutely clueless.. I do appreciate plants and its beauty tapie kalau suruh nak semai kaa, nak anak kaa, nak tut kaa..I dunno (heheh). Tapie yg paling tak boleh lupa..masa hari overhaul hari tuh..punye ramailaaa..kengkawan bapak..makcik2 and pakcik2 in the car ataupun naik motor dok stop over and asked what's up! Yg lagie tak boleh lupa bila..Tok Ucop..bapak's good friend siap datang and hang around for 20 mins cam panic and asked whether I wanted to demolish garden arwah bapak kaa? Hehehe. Takdelaa begitu sekali..cuma kasi kemas and buang pokok2 yg dah layu & mati and I could see he was so relieved. Manataknyer kenangan manis sebab arwah pagi2 dah sibuk buat gardening kat depan rumah..and angkat tangan kat semua kengkawan dia yg pegi kerja, hantar anak, pegi pasar dan lain2 urusan even postman & gravedigger pun boleh bertanya khabar and sampaikan salam takziah when they got to know kembalinya arwah ke rahmatullah. Al-fatihah. I missed bapak & mom so much!!
