Off the beaten tract of Tanjung Sepat

Yours sincerely drove off the beaten track of Tanjung Sepat into some Chinese orchards to taste some fruits. This small organic farm is tucked away from the main road. Y s wonders how does it attract visitors but then it has no worries. This orchard has a ready stream of Singaporeans who stop by to flash their " Sing Dollars. " So, don't expect anything cheap when you see Singaporeans around. They have a penchant to cause sudden inflation.

This is the dusty off beaten track. Everything managed, worked and financed by Chinese' ingenuity. No subsidy whatsoever and it is thriving. Funny. Those with subsidy die off for the lack of genuine competition which sets off your mind to think and plan effectively to stay afloat.

In case you are tempted to pluck the fruits. My " lawyer brother " says that you can pick the fallen fruits anyway! That is not pluck!

This is the temptation y s mentioned earlier. Bunches and bunches of ripe succulent "longans" hanging low from the weary branches, all within your arm length.

This is the shed where the fruits are displayed.

You guess it ? When it is a Chinese area, everything has to be exploited for RM. The abundance of swallows at this seaside village is not left alone, such condos have been built to attract swallows to build their nests and to have their nests stolen, weighed by ounces and sold to simpletons who falsely think that the nests do their health good. LOL

This restaurant attracted my attention. The good intention of the proprietor is lost in the web of language which may cause a misunderstanding from "You can eat anything you want here" to " It is up to you whether you want to patronize my place or not. I am not hard up!!!"

Y s' better half never stopped at buying. "This one for this friend. That one for that friend. "

The only jetty at Tj Sepat. Constructed, financed and maintained by Chinese ingenuity and no subsidy. This is the heart and life line of the villagers. Y s managed to witness catches being unloaded.

The only surviving "Pokok Bakau" at this "tanjung" (cape). So much have been taken away but not replaced and it hurts the coast line badly. There is very clear evident of silting.

Take time to appreciate your surrounding.
Life is to be lived.
One has a lot of time to be dead.
