NEW BRUSH CUTTER

Yesterday Abah bought a brand new brush cutter. Brush cutter? What is that? Well, it was written as brush cutter on it's box. It is actually a hand held lawn mower that the Majlis Bandaran guys would use to cut grass on the road sides.

We used to have 2 of such equipments before but both were electrical machine. This one tho is a fuel operated cutter. The first two were "gone" even before Abah finished cutting the grass on our long piece of land. Abah was kind of gave up so sometime back Abah called his friend contractor to cut the grass for us. It was ok at first but later he only came once in a month. That was not enough because the grass would shoot up even after the 3rd day...!

Now that we have our "little" badminton court at the lawn so all the more reason for abah to find solutions to settle the grass thingy. I am the one who easily get pissed off with the " kemucup". Even the kids will avoid playing outside or resort to playing at their friend's houses.

Yesterday I made Abah bought the cutter...well he promised long time ago and I want him to walk his talk. Abah bought it at RM300. It was not as easy as what we saw other people doing it. It was heavy and for an inexperienced abah, it was like asking for shoulder and backache. Despite all that Abah still did it but later that night he complained of shoulder ache and his hand trembled.
I told abah that at least we know how it felt, rather than complaining when these people asked for RM40 - 50 per service. The cost of fuel has increased and what more doing it under the hot sun. Abah said we can cut cost if we buy own own machine..well ok but I guest we shouldn't complained on anything because we CHOOSE to do it ourselves.

Our children on the other hand were enjoying the grass cutting session very much. Everybody was busy helping bibi sweeping the grass to gather at one side so that she can burn it later.Not to mention the special post with the new brush cutter.

keep it up guys....

wassalam
