Spent the weekend back in Simpang Rengam. That's my grandparents' place in M'sia. Tomb Sweeping Day...or so as it is known.
Took pics of the place. They deserve a showcase here.

The few kids you see here are just the tip of the iceberg. The recent years saw the boom of offspring from my several married cousins. Suddenly I'm 叔叔 to a kindergarten of kids. Just like that. Makes me wonder. The marvels of nature.
Drank like this
The mess I created after drinking
The living room area
The infamous well
The kitchen
See that swing near the tree trunk? Classic backyard scene
Backyard shed and toilet
Freaking huge jackfruit
Freaking huge jackfruit compared to my already large footsize...and I'm like size 101/2
This is my self-claimed smoking area
Sugarcane and pineapple plants just outside the front gate...there's even more in the backyard
Front view of the house
Small clearing opposite the front gate where there are more sugarcane, pineapple and coconut trees
Man-made koi pond recently built
One of my cousin's BMW...while my old BMX is somewhere behind...
The driveway can fit 3 cars
I always return to visit with a sense of pride. The whole damn house was built by my grandfather alone. Imagine that. Back then, it was just galvanized zinc roof and cement floor. The zinc's still there but at least there's mosaic tiles on the ground now. The whole compound will surely pwned any landed houses in SG hands down...no fight. Got the well win liao. Who else got?
