One fine morning, I walked over to Tepuq Bulan's residence at 8am. It was the earliest morning I ever started working with tepuq and she greeted me with a cheerful ''Good morning!''. I gave a great smile and wished her ''Good Morning'' too. I had promised to visit her garden, and hence, our journey began.
We walked for only a few hundred meters when I asked, 'ehhh tepuq... are we there yet?'
and Tepuq Bulan replied with a smile, 'ehhh,,, jauh lagi, still very far... I like the morning walk.'
It was a misty and chilly morning, definitely a good for a morning walk with an abundance of fresh air.
The entrance to her garden was located beside the Project Ceria building.

She planted a lot of tapioca in her garden, and hence, today we were going to harvest and collect some tapioca. I recorded a video of how she harvested the tapioca. For my convenience, I uploaded pictures with description, step by step.
Step 1: Chop chop chop the tapioca tree!
 |
| Cut the tapioca tree a quarter length from the root. |
Step 2: Throw the chopped part aside and dig the ground, until you see some tapioca skin.
 |
| Dig softly and carefully to avoid damaging the tapioca. |
 |
| The dark brown and black-ish spot above the 'sabit' is the tapioca. |
Step 3: Use a 'parang' (machete) to chop the tapioca from its root and fork it out from the ground.

Step 4: VOILAAA tapioca!
 |
| Time to make some tapioca chips! |
After collecting a few more tapiocas, we headed to Joe's cafe for a drink, and that was the end of my morning walk with Tepuq Bulan. It was a great morning indeed! :)
