SUNGAI PASU VILLAGE TRIP!!


Taylor’s lakeside had a trip to the village about a month ago, was one of my best experiences, because I haven’t actually lived in a village life before not even for a night. So this trip was an opportunity for me to experience how people live in the villages in Malaysia.
We left the lakeside campus around 1 or 2 we got to the village around 5. Never expected them to welcome us like how they did, they were waiting for us on the road side with their kids holding flowers, it was really amazing everybody on the bus just had to stand up and take pictures everybody was excited at that moment. The bus finally stopped and we all got down and started greeting everyone and taking pictures.


all students from taylor's...



Then we went to a place was kind like the hall but smaller than the regular halls we know, that’s where everyone got called and introduced to their foster parents whom they will be living with for the coming four days and we got a timetable of what we going to be doing during out home stay 2 students per foster parent so I had a brother named Ismail lossini from lakeside..




Then we had some light snacks provided by the villagers.


After everybody got introduced we went to get our bags and went to our foster parent’s house. we got to the house and was introduce to the rest of the family and showed us our bedroom.


same day we arrived they made us a home cooked meal was wonderful. Only problem was "English" mum and dad can’t speak any English so was pretty hard communicating with them whenever we around the house and stuff, after we settled in and freshen up we all met at the lake, we went fishing with local people and the village kids aswel, was fun the kids there don't just fish they actually swim in the lakes to catch the fish.

beautiful view

some clumsy girl tripped into the mud...


Luckily the next morning we got introduced to our sister she was 30years old 3kids and a husband she speaks English pretty good and the house was more alive with kids running around. Our sister made us breakfast early morning at 8 sharp food was on the table cause we had to meet at the jasmine mine at 9 to start our tour around the village and knowing what they do for a living in villages, it’s really beautiful out there away from city life every once in a wild is not bad.

After going around the village and at the jasmine tree field, we went to the hall near by the lake and we were going learn how to make lemang and satay for lunch was a great experience and the lemang was delicious.

Thats my foster father was helping him prepare th fire.
