Us and food. Too much food
While I had visions of taking photos in the middle of golden paddy fields, the paddy had just been cut. AGAIN. Of the three times I have been to Sekinchan, I have NEVER ever seen paddy! The plants ALWAYS had just been cut or just reached the stage of resembling young lalang/weeds. Grrr.
Tried a new destination for us, Ah Ma's house. It was ok lah since we didn't have much to do. But probably won't visit again. Small place only.

And a keropok tree behind us
Next it was the Paddy gallery. I had a few targets in this place - banana chips, fish cake, keropok, ambra juice.
We like driving this thing!
Final destination was the beach. First a customary photo at the Wishing Tree.
Hello from Sekinchan!
It was still too hot. Not that it deterred the kids. JE was keen to fly a kite and got it up in the sky in minutes.
Check out my kite!
Also had a go at blowing giant bubbles... The good thing is, you don't need to blow at it. The brisk sea breeze will do that part of the work.
See how big this can go

Actually a day trip is rather tiring. The journey is a good 1.5 hours. Maybe next time we will plan an overnight stay.
Yes, its disappointing not to be able to see the almost ripe paddy. I was there just after the harvest and we didn't get to enjoy the local food because we were rushing back for a dinner.
ReplyDeleteMust really check properly next time! Some of my family members went just a week earlier and managed to catch some paddy.
DeleteOh, how did I miss this post. JE is such an expert at getting her kite into the air. what a pro. JE and SE are having beautiful memories from these family trips to outskirts area outside the city.
ReplyDeleteHehe thanks for looking back. I myself have never tried flying a kite (it was SUPER hot some more).
