Kedah is known as Negeri Jelapang Padi or The Rice Bowl of Malaysia. Sawah bendang or paddy field can still be seen everywhere though its range is lesser now compared to a few decades ago. Upon arriving in Kedah, you’ll be greeted with scenery of paddy fields as far as your eyes can see. No matter which route you use to get to Kedah, you can feast your eyes with the vibrant colors of the paddy fields at some point of your journey. The colors of the bendang change from shades of green to yellow depending on which stage of the paddy cultivation.
I took the opportunity to show my children what bendang is when I went home at the end of last year. At the same time explaining to them where rice comes from. After the visit whenever we passed by paddy field, Imran would say, “Mama, Mama, banyaknya pokok nasi.”
For me, the view of sawah bendang is very calming. Bendang used to be a place for me to study or read, a place for me to sooth my stress whenever I was sad or angry, a place for me to daydream and a place for me to be near to nature.

Zarin - Cantikkan pemandangan sawah. I paling suka time biji padi baru nak keluar tu...hijau je.

Entry ni membuatkan Chichiq rasa rindu dengan suasana ketika zaman persekolahan kita dulu..byk sangat kenangan..
Dan memang betul pun.. kalau Unaizah tengah serabut or susah hati, sawah bendang kat hujung Lorong Bayu tu lah tempat yg dituju.. tak tahu lah dah berapa banyak petak sawah Unaizah penuhkan dengan air mata tu.. hihiii
Maya - Takpe la dia berkubang sebab amik gambar or tangkap ikan. Jgn dia dok berkubang, main lumpur or lintah pacat je. Tak ke haru...
Chichiq - Hahahaha, tu yang padi kat situ semua gemuk-gemuk sebab extra mineral. Memang nostalgia sangat....

Ermayum - Memang cantik. Ni pun sikit je snap gambar. If it is in front of your eyes, laaagi nampak cantik. Dgn warnanya, dgn udaranya etc...
