Balik Kampung trip

Last saturday, i joined 2 uncle for a short trip to Ulu Tawar, Sg.Sedim area.. a place where it is really kampung! We went to visit his hunting geng, all the pakcik pakcik there but sadly, we dont have the chance to meet all of them... only 3 pakcik left, out of 10 plus.. alll already left the world. Sad isnt it, but it's reality.. we all age with time..

Let's get back to the trip, the first pakcik, called Din have a monkey pet. He is really cute, but very naughty.. even learned how to smokes.. Look at his face, so high already..
Smoking monkey = Smokey

Smoking with style!

he live alone now.. his wife pass away 2 years ago and left him alone. How sad is it.. Anyway, he is very friendly, sharing with us all the experiences that they lived during the hunting days.. about how they hunt Mawas (Howler monkey if im not mistaken), Wild Boar or wild encounter with tigers.. very interesting!

Look at the streams around Pak Usob's house.. crystal clear water! I wish i have a house surrounded by such streams! The pebbles are unique too!
