Ayer Baloi Pictorial

The House
We are back from our short balik kampung break...Too short a time, too many things to do! The kids enjoyed it albeit a brief one. They were practically 24/7 outdoor!
We spring-cleaned, ate really fresh seafood, had a barbie..., eat, eat, eat and eat...In short we had fun! More pics on the way!

    Salam Dad of 4+1,

    Reached here via Pause To Reflect. The Air Baloi title of this post caught my eye.

    I was born in Pontian but grew up in Singapore. I still have relatives in Pontian and in Air Baloi. I remember the times we balik kampung during the fruitng season. Seems like you'll be going back to Air Baloi again soon when the durians start to fall :-)

    Will drop by again later to check out your other stories.

    Anon - The world is so small. we are just next door to late granduncle. In fact, my sons played with his great grandsons throughout our stay there. Insya Allah we'll be there 3rd raya kot? My mom asked whether you are Tok Bakar's grandchild from Merlong?
