2 nights at Grandpa's place in Muar

We decided to bring the 3 Jays to Grandpa's place on Friday so that they can spend some time with Grandpa, the kampung air, the black dogs and Jalpi the cat.  Hmm... the attempt to remove them from Internet and Runescape was achieved.  They watched more TV and played with the basic games on the laptop - Chess, mines and solitaire.

Tojo and All Black, Grandpa's black dogs, were just pesky with each other.  Tojo would come to All Black growling and All Black would growl back like pestering him to fight it out.  Sounds like the Malaysian politics now.  Jalpi the cat just minded his own business, sleeping and purring all the time.  Of course, when Jordan played with his yoyo in front of him, Jalpi's eyes just followed the yoyo.

I spent a lot of time in Father's garden, helping him weed a small part of the large space.  It was good exercise as I sweated it out.  This time, I made sure I had a mosquito coil lighted so that the mozzies stayed away.  Did some replanting of shrubs and trimming.  Got stung/bitten by a wasp - it was painful, like fire burning on the skin.  2 days after, the part of the hand that got stung is feeling itchy and there is a lump at the bite/sting.

Joey came out to help in the garden on Saturday with the hoe, collecting the soil and weeds I had cangkul-ed out.  Mila made a fire which was good to smoke the mozzies away.  Johan came out to help a short while, fighting to see who got the hoe and who got the rake.  After a while both of them said "Hard work, gardening."  And what did their sweaty mom say?  Yeah, hard work.
