2 steps forward then 1 step back

After all the hedge planting of "pecah beling" and the shrubs were progressing nicely, some spiteful grass-cutting crew came along and just cut them off. Although it could clearly be seen as a hedge-row, the crew promptly chopped off some of the healthiest bushes.


I am inclined to think they did so out of spite, as my helper informed me that she spurned them when they asked her to "keluar main" with them one day.


This week as I saw the grass-cutting crew returned for their monthly trim; I quickly instructed my helper to protect the re-growing tender shoots. Fortunately they were spared from massacre and growing healthily once more.
