Its fruiting season!

Kacang Putih Man - typically an indian man dressed in Sarung & white singlet, Peddling sugar coated /savoury varieties of nuts & preserves wrapped in conical shaped old newspaper.Usually at the cinema or markets.Sadly its a dying trade.

Woohoo, Its fruiting season & we got some seedling from forestry department..hehe thats what I call friends of benefit... bags & bags of seeds lined up at the corridor. Alex reminds me of the kacang putih man peddling & scouraging the little precious nuggets into bags.

We've planted them in,some have sprouted! The grand p of reforesting the world 1 lantree at a time has started! by the way Anton has been playing Pinky & the Brain theme song on loop courtesy of youtube, I think he's gone mad...

Look out for more updates on our Seadcooperative site.

THE WHEEL OF DEATH!

"Roda roda maut" - The wheel of death. Made a really good shot. saw it at Don's sawmill while
scanvenging for some old scraps.

Football fever

Football.. the 1 thing, il never get. Il spare another bad Paul the octopus joke. at least these guys seems to be enjoying the game..cuz they stayed up till 4am to catch the final.. & obviously they are Dutch.

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

The NEW & IMPROVED stilt huts are ready after a long chase to the finish line! yeeehaa..Anton now skips around the retreat with the load off his shoulders texting me non stop all day ..proclaiming to me repeatedly "who's the man, Who's the man!!" while flexing his unapparent "guns?" - he calls em.

So the new & improve came with some crazy jungle view while you do your morning no.1s & 2s. the rooms are slightly more spacious.. & some innovative lightings.Personally the straw hat light in the bathrooms freaks me out a littke bit.

Its all about the view this time.. all 8 units are well hidden in the jungle trail..there's view in the front porch, view from your bed, view while u pee, view while u poop.. I think u might get away with nude tanning at the balcony.. but I would'nt encourage that though, just because we've seen quite a few large size black squirrel around that area..They've got a notorious reputation with some of our guest..stealing chips & biscuits in broad day light! So we dont want em picking those "raisins & nuts" do we. Hehe obviously im in a cheeky mood. cuz its DONE! ITS DONE!! YOOOHOOO!

loading the pictures tonight.!

These Guys made it possible

THE MYSTERIOUS CELEBRATORY CIGAR!
( found this on site, its a good cuban cigar too..but nobody own up to it..strange~)

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

So here's what happened. On a stormy night, Some branches fell on the newly strung electrical cables,sparks flew causing a minor fire..right out of a scene from horror films.Everything happened so quickly. We are really lucky the damage wasn't that bad... So we are cutting down some trees & branches to prevent future mishap.

So apart from huge delays in completion date, we have to deliver the bad news to quite a few dissapointed customers..what's worst..a few of them are uncontactable.. we're dooommeed dooooooommed

updates

Its been over a month since I blogged. Not that I was particularly busy..just wasnt' a very productive month i'l say. So anyhow before I take off to Bali & Melbourne for a long awaited girl trip with my sis. Here are some quick updates.

Puk puk is making leaps & bounce... literally, we had a trip to the retreat last weekend after 1.5mths of quarrantine at home. & he cauldnt' stop jumping around.

The new chalets are coming up fast.. In fact we need them to be up desprately fast... so Anton has been working like a mad - man during the day & replying endless email enquiries late into the night while I slide some obscenely smooth cheesecake & watch by the sidelines....oh yeaaa, I AM secretly enjoying the show just this wee bit.

The Combi is down again.This time .. not a whimper when we turn the key.

When my gf grace ask for my plan of attack on Melbourne.. I told her, first of all I need a good hunka steak! then some oysters shooters. Then we can sort out the rest while a sip me cappucino made with real fresh milk...not some funky UHT long life stuff.

OH YES! I received a snail mail from Sydney yesterday, dated 19th Jan 2010. The Envelope was covered with ( Care Bear stickers..There's a card inside ... also with stickers,naturally its an enquiry about room availability but with no check in dates, just a request for a possible discount if she stays long. Whilst the care bear stickers creeps d shit outta me..its so sweet to receive snail mails nowadays. ( will post a pic soon )

& i tot Willy was weird - Our guest who had raw food diet of garlic,carrots & a pinch of salt on the side everyday.

This aint' no punk'd on april's fool

On the 1st of april, Around 5.45pm I received a call from Anton saying " There's been an accident." & instantly I thought Oh no,are you ok? where are you now & blah..then he continued. "I ran over puk puk". & my heart just sank'd. The world stopped & I thought to myself.. its ok he is just a pet ,.. he is just a pet. we can get me a new pet. As the rest of the conversation unfurl itself nervously, It seems he'd survived..except he was lifeless from the waste down. I quickly rushed home, he was in the pen, his lower back n legs flat out, he looked like chubby seal.

To cut the long story short, He survived a multiple pelvic fracture,fermur breakages,a closely meeting spinal cord, 2 uncomfortable man handled x-ray sessions,a 5hrs bumpy car ride anesthesia via IV drip ( Usually pugs dont do well in this department.) Waking up with a strange pin stuck up near his butt, 3days of stuffy hospital ward full of other strange broken dogs. Pooping 4days worth of shit in 1 go with us holding his back up & 3weeks of serious boredom in compound.

My pug is not just a pet, he is a robocop pug! with pins sticking outta his teeny weeny frame he is now able to walk,pee , poop, attempt to steal food after 3 weeks. Most dog his size would've been smothered or at least paralysed. So I guess life is a box of chocolate,you never know which puppy you picked from a litter will change the way you live.

I guess you guys wont be seeing him at the retreat till end of this year or so.HE WILL WALK AGAIN! keeping our fingers & paws crossed.
