There is one speciality of my house - the toilet is outside my house. Every night when we want to go to toilet, we need to go alone and it is very scareful. For example, I will always think that there are the "ghosts" behind me. So when I finish use the toilet I will quickly ran back to my house. I still remember that my sister saw a snake in the toilet before and we ask people come to catch the snake. After that we named the toilet as "HORROR TOILET" !
It is very good to be my house's dog. This is because it will have a comfortable dog house as shown as photo above. The dog not need to find the shelter when raining.
Duku is a malay word. When I was primary school, my father planted a lot of duku, langsat, and duku+langsat tree. When the season came, my brother and I will climb to the tree to eat the sweet and fresh duku. It was very usual to bite by the ants on the trees and also fall down from the trees.
There are some durian trees planted near my house too. When the durina season came, we will have a lot of durians to eat. But too bad there are a lot of squirrels at there, so the durians always been eaten by those squirrels. So my father always made the traps to catch the squarrels.
Palm oil estates also planted behind my house. When I was young I always played hide and seek with the my coursin. I always hide in the estate. I still remember that when I was young I was bitten by the bees at here and made me not dare to come at here anymore.
Mangosteen
When I studied at secondary school, the durians trees were old already so my uncle cut down all the durian tree and started to plant the mangosteen tree near my house. After year and year, finally we had the mangosteen to eat when mangosteen season came. But my uncle met an accident and passed aways. We will always remember him and cried once we eat the mangosteen.
This is a rambutan tree planted by my father. We had a lot of sweet rambutan trees when season came. Sometimes my father will sell the rambutans to some of the fruit stalls.
Nobody plant the banana near my house but they grow by themselves. There is a stall in my kampong selling the "nasi lemak" and "pisang goreng" always the banana leaves and pisang from us. We earn some money from the banana trees.
Pandan leaves
I always tell my friends' that my house get a lot of pandan leaves but they usually not believe after they come to my house to have a look. We usually used the pandan leaves to cook with the green bean. When in primary school my coursin and I will catch the spider at here to fight each other. There are a lot of spider inside the pandan leaves.
