This is my dad in law. After being away from home for more than a week,
abah (and us) had a lot of cleaning up to do. Unfortunately the water supply in his area was still not available and that was the reason he was away for a week. Thinking that the water supply was available approximately after a week,
abah had asked us to send him home.....

Unfortunately, we were wrong. So, I offered to take
abah for a night in
Melaka but
abah missed home badly and decided to stay even without the water supply.

That's Din scratching his head in the hot sun.... merely taking a break from carrying two full buckets of water from the neighbour's well for
abah. We just couldn't bare the thought of
abah living without the water supply so we figured the least we could do was to fill in his tank in the bathroom.

Din showed me the way to fetch water from the well.






The well was quite deep. According to Din, you must flip the bucket when it reaches 2 inches above the water. Smashing the bucket on the surface of the water will stir the dirt on the floor of the well. So, this tough looking job has to be done gently.....
GENTLY....
Boy, it was a hot hot day....

That's me playing "Melissa Gilbert- Little House on the Prairie".
For some obvious reasons I smashed the bucket on the water many times
before I got it right!
how to estimate the 2 inches thingy from above???? susah lah....



It wasn't that easy and after smashing the bucket twice and flipped it
(wu-hoo) once
I have decided that the"Melissa Gilbert" game was not fun at all....
it was a very.... very very hot day.....
and I must say..... he played it well....
the late Micheal London would be so proud of him....
