A season for everything

Kedah, being the rice bowl of Malaysia, is green again. There’s been rain since the end of March. Now is the season for planting rice. I don’t know whether you remember the old campfire song..

Planting rice is never fun
Bent from morn till set of sun
Cannot stand and cannot sit
Cannot rest for a little bit

Nowadays, planting rice is automated motorized.. with the help of machinery.

    jonzz, ‘cos I couldn’t find the mp3 anywhere.. so record one on my own.

    Cocka Doodle, haha.. just to show you the scenery from SP from time to time. The last time I showed it, it was just after harvesting.. so you see the haze.

    Eve, thank you. I’ve been a bit tired lately.

    Rice has been my staple food since day one. Irony is I have never been to a paddy field to feel and touch this life giving weed that nourish and fill our tummies.
