it was the durian and rambutan season few weeks ago.
we had a sumptous feast of both fruits in our camp.
we have like at least 10+20+ rambutan trees in seletar camp.
and another 5-10 durian trees(those that i know of).
one particular durian tree opposite my company was filled with durians.
then one day we went to explore the place to see if we were lucky enough to find some durians and there we got, i found a big and yellowish durian on the floor!
it was perfectly beautiful.
we brought back to our bunk and split it open and it was a delicacy.
it was great stuff.
not forgetting the rambutans are also red big and juicy.
we would throw bamboo sticks, use toggle rope to pull the branches down, throw stones at the rambutan to make them drop.
practically all sorts of methods to eat them :)
reminds me of the olden kampong days in my grandma hse.
where i will use papaya leaves to sweep the floor and use the broken net to catch butterflies.
and not only are there rambutans and durians in our camp.
okay lets just talk about around my company area.
theres a jackfruit tree behind.
maybe not a fruit tree, a saga tree or 相思豆.
we got lots of this tree in our camp.
outside, people will like to pick them up bring them home.
here in seletar we got so used to it that it sort of became trash to us whenever we sweep the floor.
theres one right infront of our carpark.
ohh coming up, this 2 fruit trees i just discovered like 2weeks ago.
i chatted with the cookhouse aunty who came to take back her pole which she uses to pick rambutans.
she then told theres a avocado tree behind our company.
then i went to check it out and really, theres really avocado hanging on the trees!
you cant seem them from far as they are green and camouflage well.
before field camp, we went to pluck 4 of them and we are stilling waiting for them to turn ripe.
avocado, like bananas, turns ripen itself when plucked.
heres another surprise!
baluku, langsat or watever you call it.
theres one behind our company also!!
the tree is rounded and quite short.
and u wont know its a baluku tree unless u go right underneath it.
the balukus are all budding out from the branches.
but too bad they are still green in colour :(
i read that their season is from august-october?
so i guess ill come back to get them after our excercise claymore in thailand.
