In my childhood, the raining season is a festive moment full of joyous activities and fun. We built raft, catching frogs to use as fishing baits, diving in river and setting ‘tauk’, a small bamboo stick fish trap put in a wet paddy field. Early after dawn, we went to see if some of the ‘tauks’ whether we’re successful or not. It was 30 years behind.
Today, our kids don’t know how to make a raft, tauk or catch frogs at the river bank. But, chanel handbags they knows how to play ‘Jin Online’, one of the famously internet games nowadays. They never experience how is it felt bitten by a leech, fishing under the rains when the chilly wind turn the body became a vibrator.
It just 30 years passed by, I wonder how would it be in 30 years ahead.

Very nice story of contrast. I can identify with it. Wonder the name of river and village where it all happened! Ulu Nerus? Haha.
Sir: haha.. not Ulu Nerus, it's we call Gelong Nibong and Gelong Tok Wok, located at Kg. Gong Tok Nasek, just 3km away from KTrg City Centre.
I just guess Gelong means 'Parit' in malay. Anyway, thanks for your prompt visit.
