12 Jun '09 - 420 W, 8 I That Is One Big John Fruit

The last leg of the vacation was a couple of days back at Ain's kampung at Pasir Mas, Kelantan. When we arrived,Irfan's cousin Aiman and family were on their second-to-last day there before returning to Kuala Lumpur. They had a few hours together to play, with the Atok's ball from Sitawan, and the bubbles. That night Aiman slept over at his paternal grandmother's house. They came to visit the next morning before leaving.

Fruits were abundant. There were roadside stalls which sold tons of them. Ain bought a pineapple to be turned into pajeri nenas. Tok Bah and Tok Ma also bought mangosteens, as seen in the above photo. It had been a while since I had some.

Irfan poses beside a jackfruit tree, where a large jackfruit waited to be cut down by Tok Bah. We brought the fruit with us back home. We are slowly eating the internal ulas. Some day we'll finish them all.

Irfan, Ain and I kicked the ball around under the rambutan tree in front of Tok Bah's house. We played til Irfan was soaked to the gills in his own sweat... so he'd fall asleep earlier at night.

... but as soon as we passed Kuala Krai, Irfan was out cold probably dreaming of fruits and cousins and the truckload of Ben 10, Tom and Jerry and the Pink Panther Show episodes he watched on Astro 75% of his waking hours there.

nangka!! and manggis – you know i don’t believe i’ve had a manggis since like 2000…

and i repeat – my god, when did irfan grow so big??? he’s getting to be tok ma’s height!!
