Al-Rasyid and the orchid farm

Still getting idle. Continuing from Al-Rasyid's antics at a cousin's wedding....


After the wedding my parents followed us home to Bandar Tasik Puteri. We spent the following day indoors just watching movies and television. It was only on Sunday that we went out. As usual whenever they slept over at our house, they wanted us to bring them to the orchard farm just 6 km away from our house.

Here's a picture of Al-Rasyid standing at one part. Otherwise I have to chase him around as he weaved in and out the rows of flower ports, stopping only at the back to play with the terappins and turtles. If I remember correctly this is the first time we went here since Al-Rasyid started to walk at 10 months old, 5 months ago. Since then my parents have slept over once or twice but we were then busy with other things, no time to visit the farm.


My parents love plants and flowers. Being former government servants they practically spent all their time on gardening since retiring at the age of 55 and 57 (my father took 2 years extended work). Both are now turning 69. My wife and I are well-pleased to be able to bring them around and make them happy what more with Al-Rasyid healthily walking or rather running around amusing them too. Look also at the old article Of orchids and old college memories....
