There are a lot of dogs in this farm. Large population of dogs is due to the breeding of dogs and dogs from nearby farms. Because our farm is the one of the last few farm to be close down in this area, therefore these dogs from the nearby farms, which have been close down, would come to our farm to look for food and shelter. Their foods is the scrap food from our lunch and dinner.  According to my father, the brown dog in this photograph a very cute dog but sadly it was stolen. (Photograph taken in 1981)

The area around our house is full of trees. Around 6  to 7 am, you can go to one of these tree, stand near the trunk, take a deep breath. The water vapour from the tree trunk would make you feel very comfortable. There are a row of jackfruit trees at the side of the large pond. Jackfruit trees bear fruit all year round. When small Jackfruits are seen at the side of the tree, a rice bag would wrapped around these fruits. This is to prevent birds from eating it. (Photograph taken in 1989)

There are quite a number of rambutan trees and durian trees are located at the back of the house and the fish shed, the ripping season of the rambutan trees are around June and July each year. We have supply of rambutan until 1995 when rambutan trees bear very few fruits. Although there are durian trees , we did not get much durians, their quality are also very poor because my uncles used nails to nail these durian trees' trunk. He did this because he was told by a friend that nailing the durians trees would get better quality durians but it did not turn out so. (Photograph taken in 1983)
There are a few banana trees but we hardly eat their fruits. (Photograph taken in 1983)
