rumah nyai

Salam my baby insyirah.

i pray that you're happy and healthy with mama. Im in batu pahat now, visiting you grandparents. Help nenek to move her office into a new one and checking out some empty land for possible development. I have many things in mind, work mainly. They past week has been very rough, alot of work. But i never miss thinking of you everyday.

Rumah nyai (your great grandma from grandpa side) has been fully restored. The house can fully function now with kitchen and restroom and to room and single beds. We hang out there for lunch after helping grandma with moving.

Uncle nawa saw a malaysian fox last night while we were heading there. It's small but bigger than a cat and have fluffy tail. It ran off quickly into the bushes when it saw us. I missed the moment but i saw it too few months back during raya.

At noon today, we saw a small water monitor or lizard. It is small than its mother, but much much bigger than the domestic/house lizard. It was about to cross the road. Atuk said, today was very hot nd thats why the lizard moved into the creek accross the street.

I also saw many baby cats. They were so cute but they were hungry. We feed some of them our lunch leftovers, fish and somw rice. Atuk also gave some dried anchovies and salted fish to the cat. Nenek dont really like the cat cause sometimes it's dirty and they come into the house.

The fish pond beside nyai's house is still very much alive. Eventhough the cat fish are no longer there, the puyu/karuk fish are still active as before. We have at least 15 of it that we released into the small pond. Atuk feed them the fish food i bought in yong peng last month.

The fruit trees i planted were all ok for now. InsyaAllah someday you get to try some of the fruits here. We got jackfruit, atuk's favourite. We also have rambutan, soursoap, coconut, and pulasan. We also have durian back in kajang that you can also try once you're here.

Rumah nyai is a nice place to rest. It's cold at night with mist in the morning. The house is elevated and made of wood. Someday, ill bring you here and show you this nice place. We'll get to see kingfisher, lizard, fox, cat, wild rooster, fish and many more animals. We'll get to eat jackfruit, durian, soursoap, coconut, and pulasan. I dream and long for that day.

Until then, my love is with you, always.
