You're a brave man to ...Thank you Mr Bojangles,<br />You're a brave man to put up that sign - and it seemed to work. You must look like a tough street fighter for them to heed your warning.<br />When our neighbours almost massacred the cempaka tree just outside our fence, we tried nicely to caution them but they cariied on doing so the next day and the next week and .....thank goodness they moved away.<br />We must try to hire a bouncer the next time we have such a problem.<br />And oh yes. Other neighbours also helped themselves to the leaves of the banana tree which was growing in OUR garden!<br />And they throw their garden debris just outside our fence ...I could go on and on.<br /><br />Is it against the law to catapult pesky neighbours??anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-46887073377975194122010-05-26T06:40:49.363+01:002010-05-26T06:40:49.363+01:00Mr Wong could take a pointer from me to keep the b...Mr Wong could take a pointer from me to keep the brattages and even adult ages' fingers to themselves.<br /> <br />I have a little banana plant patch along the edge of a deep longkang besides my house. Nice little folks would come by with their blades and oh so nonchalantly, and without so much as a by-your-leave, slice off the youngest leaves leaving only a sorry looking stump.<br /><br />So sweet was one lady she even had the gall to ask me if them plants belonged to me, when I protested she was killing off the goose that laid the golden egg, by not loping off the more mature leaves. <br /><br />I solved the problem pretty fast. I thought of putting up a note along the lines of a bumper sticker I once saw in the US: "Banana-leaf thieves will be shot. Survivors will be shot again". <br />Fortunately I settled for the more diplomatic "STOP Banana Leaf Thieves." <br /><br />It did the trick.<br />Now the plant has had a better chance of growing to adulthood providing me (and neighbors)with one delicious harvest with two more on the way.<br /><br />So you see. No stick, no carrot.<br /><br />Cheers.Mr Bojangleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936269017803358208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-89738568010409855012010-05-25T12:53:13.859+01:002010-05-25T12:53:13.859+01:00ph....just use the bunga tahi ayam.....ph....just use the bunga tahi ayam.....imsunnysideuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159172554922746984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-11855637603928722212010-05-25T05:17:58.047+01:002010-05-25T05:17:58.047+01:00My dear AsH, Bek will get both - she very kiasu on...My dear AsH, Bek will get both - she very kiasu one !!phnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-88187627686124921662010-05-25T05:04:50.600+01:002010-05-25T05:04:50.600+01:00Yes ph.

Good to 'see' you again ...Hello Wan Sharif,<br />Good to 'see' you again and thank you for the comment. Yes, it was a very 'medicinal' trip. <br />Your good wife is on to the right track - good for her for looking for alternatives.<br />Indeed I take your point and heartily agree about when we are closest to Allah. When we appreciate and respect Allah's gifts of each day and night, and of our blessed earth and all its life - and we realise how small we are - then, perhaps, we are also close to our Creator.<br />I'm a fan of Trini Lopez and am so glad to be able to fit in his song with this posting.anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-55533793513544880552010-05-25T01:41:30.525+01:002010-05-25T01:41:30.525+01:00Salam AsH,
