i think i loved my weekend

yes i think i did. had a lot of tiring fun this weekend tramping (hiking in kiwi-speak) sikit sikit, caving, and strawberry picking. i mean, i didn't usually do stuff like this back in malaysia, ok i only went caving once at gua tempurung. i guess most of you who read my blog'll probably have seen my pictures of it from fb the international kaypo machine. so go look if you haven't and are curious. it was pretty. very breathtaking.


and strawberry picking! such fun!





i went with a friend today to the farm which was some way off where i live; lincoln. countryside la basically. so what i had to do was sit on a trolley-ish thing on one of the many rows of strawberry plants and start cutting the ripe ones from the vines. a mild win was blowing, there were only a few other people there, it was quiet, the air fresh, wide open spaces, and the strawberries so tantalising... it was such a perfect moment. very peaceful. and to top it all, i actually picked something! being the city person that i am, i don't think i've ever picked so much as a tomato before. so this is definately new and novel. of course, you pay for the berries you pick after that. we're operating on the no free meal theory here remember? we rewarded ourselves with some ice cream with berry puree at the end. which made me happy... cos... ice cream always makes me feel like a little kid. which makes me feel happy :)



they're just so sweet... don't you just wish you could have some? haha... too bad but i'm eating them now... yummmmm
