MAHA - hot - machines - farmers

fuhh.. yesterday was a very tiring day! it started at 9.30 am, kak anis (kpsu) & me went to MAHA to monitor our farm mechanisation expo... while waiting for LPP buggy, we went around the state pavilions to see if our agro-based industrialist products were sold/displayed in every state... starting from MoA pavilion, then negeri sembilan, malacca, to the north states... we stopped at Kedah Pavilion cuz Kedah is the main state for agro-based products, we went inside the Kedah's House and met up with LPP Kedah Officer, we asked him quite a few questions about the 'Klasik' product... Kak Anis was satisfied with the product displayed... then, the officer gave us goodies bag (so heavy-there were four goodies bag)! inside them was the maswangi brown rice and some agro-based products! we had to bring the goodies bags to most of the state pavilion after that, in a very hot weather, i didnt bring any cap or umbrella... we still waited for the LPP buggy but it was late! so we decided to have a quick rest at the Sabah pavilion! we waited at about 15mins there but still didnt come! so we decided to go back to the carpark to put all the things inside kak anis car! then we went back to the Selangor pavilion waiting for the LPP officer to bring us to the farm mechanisation expo... they finally arrived at about 11am... at the expo site, the officers brought us around the expo and introduced us to some of the contractors, i was so amazed with all the machinery thingy, BUT our machinery still out dated compared to the German or european technology... i got a chance to drive one of the machine (was so big) in a very hot afternoon!!! cant imagine how the farmers working in such weather! then, the officer brought us to the VIP room, we discussed 'things' with the LPP officers! we also got a chance to see their rehearsel for today MoU... then, kak anis & me went to the foodcourt, didnt know wut to eat, so hot, i just wanna drink and drink! after had our lunch, we went back to the expo site, then i saw the rabbit farm, the mini Zoo Malacca, the Boer goat, the deer farm, cows, elephant, camel etc etc. we continued our discussion before one of the officer made a suprise for us! she invite us to visit the vitato farm behind the main hall, we followed her until she gave us hoes! i asked her for what purpose and she said just followed her... we went inside the vitato farm, then she asked us to start digging the soil in the middle of the day!!!! can u imagine??? me wearing a shirt, long skirt & high-heel holding a hoe in the middle of the hot afternoon!!! i didnt expect the officer will did this to us BUT we really dig the soil to find the vitato! i started to enjoy digging the soil when i found a very large vitato, kak anis also got bigger vitato and we managed to dig lots of vitato! i wont forget the moments ! Now, i know how difficult the farmers worked just to find their main incomes and support their family, i felt like wanna cry that time because alhamdulillah my parents had a better job to support our family! i really respect the farmers because the really worked hard to give Malaysian food to eat! then i know that agriculture is really a good business!
after that, one of the officer treated us with fruits and coconut water at the Fruits Market, a very long way to reach the market! people started to fill the expo site, i felt like cannot believe it when so many people came to MAHA even in a working day! they must enjoyed the journey inside the biggest expo site, so many places to go and you will not able to finish the 'expidition' in a single day!
at about 4.30 we went back to the office with so many gifts from LPP... i was so so so tired yesterday! my feet like taken out! then at 5.30 i went to the KBS gym as usual....

p/s: guys, do bring your umbrella/cap when u come to MAHA o.k.??
