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.

ANIMAL RIGHTS (2)


The fight for animal rights is increasing around the world more and more people are aware about animal cruelty but still people continue supporting slaughtering of animal skin and punishing the animals with violent and torture. I love animals and its habitat. I have this thing for animals and gardens with trees, waterfalls and ponds I love it its beautiful and peaceful. One of gods greatest creations animals and its habitat how they survive and live in jungles, forest and all, It really hurts me seeing a size of a football field being toned down at the amazons and animals being killed for furs, tusks, body parts and all by illegal hunting and poaching.

The world needs to appreciate this kind of rear animals and take care of them so that our next generation and next generation can see all this kind of animals that are around the world but that won’t happen if we keep allowing this killing and slaughtering of animals go on like this.

I love animals ever since I was a kid. Back home in Tanzania I’ve a lot of pets and most of them were homeless or dying on the streets with no food and water to survive. I once bump into 2 homeless puppies almost 6 years ago not far from my house, they were left on the side of the street in a box, heard them crying out and I took them home fed them milk took them to the vet about 3months later there were healthy, happy and have a home.




look younger here : )
now there big and healthy..

Also found a kitten at an island called Zanzibar back in Africa it was a baby kitten barely even walking very small,crying for its mother for food. now he’s in good health and he has a home.


still a baby.



all grown and healthy

A few years back. My brothers and I had a road trip around Tanzania and visiting national parks and stuff during our way back home we found an animal on the road laying there helplessly and we stopped to take a look it was a lion cup, my brothers were scared but I couldn’t leave the cup there so I took him in my car and put him on the back seat and drove back home with a cup, it was just dehydrated and hungry after feeding it water and milk the cup start getting scared and hiding under the cars after couple days he got use to the environment and wasn’t scared of people and we found out it was a male so we gave him a name SIMBA few weeks later we sent him to a national park called MIKUMI NATIONAL PARK and he was back his habitat with a good health and all it took was milk, food, water and tender love and care to save animal who couldn’t barely stand and walk.

that's simba


And I recently bought a horse his amazing. named Bruno he should be around 4 years now his still young. He wasn’t being treated well and he use to go for days without having food and wasn’t around good environment so I bought it and now its living at my uncle’s farm yard 20minutes drive from town.
You can make a change by just helping one animal at a time.




Animals are part of this world and we all are part of this world. only YOU can make a change and stand against animal rights.

ANIMAL RIGHTS!!

As we all know we live on earth with animals. God’s creation, god’s creatures and we all live on planet earth. What makes a country beautiful and amazing? I would say animals and its nature surroundings it’s the most natural and exotic place you would ever imagine.
Many countries have different kind of animals like Australia for instance they’re well known for having kangaroo’s, koala and so many more. Africa they have elephants, gorilla’s, crocodiles and many more. North America grizzly bears, Florida panthers coyotes and many more. This entire place’s are known through different ways and mostly known cause of their wildlife species and surrounding of nature beauty.

NOW we talk about animal rights!!
I never heard about animal rights till like I was around 10 or 12 i guess. Never knew they kill animals to make materials like belts, wallets, jacket, hand bags and shoes from either snake or crocodiles. They slaughter these wonderful animals that are rear around the world, instead this cruel humans slaughter them to death for there own benefits of financial means and to do business with no ethics at all.
And not only slaughtering the animals there is torture as well that goes around that’s against animal rights, we have people with beautiful animals as pets like dogs and cats instead of loving and caring for this animals that you bought or adopt, they torture them by not feeding them as there suppose to be fed, not keeping them around good environments instead there outside the house, sleeping on the dirty floor that hasn’t been clean for months and when this animals fall sick and they need to be taken to a vet for check up, they don’t bother taking their pets and end up being really sick and die. And other pets get a beaten from their owners like beating them till they’re badly hurt or dead.

It’s really saddening and depressing to hear all this stuff about what people do to the animals and home pets. But thank god we have people fighting against this cruel and devilish behaviours going on around the world. Organizations like PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal) PETA's animal rights campaigns include ending of fur and leather, meat and dairy consumption, fishing, hunting, trapping. And there’s also the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) one of the largest in the world, ASPCA organization granted legal authority to investigate and make arrests for crimes against animal cruelty.
Also we have celebrities, who donate good amounts to these organizations and adopt homeless pets. Celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Pierce Brosnan, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson and so many more. The message is spread all over the media and people over the internet and companies also donate and adopt animals. The world must know what people do to this animals slaughter and torture must come to an end in order to have a better tomorrow.
