WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BILBO: Putrajaya, MALAYSIA ~ arrival

He just arrived, melting with the heat, beaming with excitement .   Let him rest for a while first, catching up with updates on adventure he has gone through in Sweden with Gittan [WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BILBO: Lund] .  The snow in Sweden should be thinning by now. I am not too sure if Dirt Princess's roses grow well after staying dormant for weeks in  The South [ What's Going On ] .

He must be very brave indeed, coming here to a far away land, on his own without any chaperon.

Putrajaya, Malaysia is just a place to warm him up a little bit.... He had been smiling all day long with infectious smile, almost perpetual. I am now thinking where to begin for the garden walkabout.


the beautiful stamps from Sweden.

thanks Gittan
for the nice letter and seeds

 
Bilbo is so cute and tiny , happily balancing himself on  Kakdah's palm

 
Bilbo is checking
how tall  papaya plant really is.

 
now Bilbo really believes
what Bangchik has been telling about orchids
being exotic and beautiful.


I will soon take Bilbo to the most exiting place in Putrajaya, after he get tired with "my little vegetable garden". So folks, you just get ready for the next post and  the next host.....

  3. I was just going to suggest the same as Tatyana - he's too warm in that scarf now. Wonder what adventures he's going to have over in Malaysia.

  10. Bangchik, Congratulations! You are indeed very lucky to have Bilbo and Bilbo is also very lucky to have you and Kakdah as his guardian angels. Bilbo is in good hands and I'm sure he will have a happy and fun time with your family members. I wonder where will you be bringing him to in Putrajaya? Is Kakdah cooking some nasi lemak and rendang chicken for him?

  11. I can't wait to see what other adventures you have in store for Bilbo. I look forward to your next installment. He must be enjoying the warm weather and beautiful flowers.

  12. Wow! Bangchik, Kakdah & family, I see that you are having much more fun than little Bilbo :-D Are you going to serve him roselle juice? ha ha... Anyway, it is so nice to see Bilbo here in Malaysia and at your garden! Enjoy the company...

  13. Thanks everyone.... I can't take Bilbo out yet, due to tight work schedule... Weekend is a little bit free. Both of us will fly north to Kedah, visiting Farah's family which includes her husband Ramli, and our grandchildren, Adlina and Adlin. Of course we will take Bilbo along...

    So for the moment he has to make do with "my little vegetable garden". Having extra hands will ease my gardening work. I did soil preparation for the past few days. This time round, I deviate from the previous practice. I put new plants into vegetable bed bit by bit..... to suit my tight schedule and the progress of germination.

    Bilbo will soon be introduced to different style of cooking and eating!

    Have a great day everyone..., Cheers.
