12/09
Left home @ 0800.
Took bus to Larkin,
arrived Larkin around 0830
Waited for Ke Yong in front of McD a while
Had very quick breakfast of Nasi Lemak
Boarded Bus to BP
Arrived Air Itam around 1015
Notify Shya
‘Shop’ around Air Itam while waiting for Shya
It’s been a really long time since I set foot to window shop here
I’ve only been passing by here only for many years
Though of getting a Doraemon for mei mei,
but didn’t do it
Went to had a 2nd round of light breakfast
had some dim sum
it’s @ this time that Shya notify that she’s arrived.
quickly we finish our meal & followed Shya home.
Haven’t been to Shya’s home for 1+ years liao ba~
sit around a little while,
a good place to be.
Departed to fetch others that’s joining this trip (sin ying, and … forgot name of other 2 already)
After fetching them,
My status changed from passenger to driver.
We went to Kluang for lunch before continuing our journey toward kahang
As non of us have been to the Farm,
we just drove towards Kahang.
We arrived safely @ the farm around 1+ (if I’m not mistaken)
The other group that’ll overnight there had already arrived
It’s a school trip by SRJ(C) Foon Yew (2)
A short while after check in to our dorm,
We had a briefing by Mr Tam regarding Organic farming
After the briefing, we went to the paddy field.
We had a chance to experience harvesting paddy the traditional way,
using the sickle.
Most of the people in our group said wanted to experience it,
but for some reason,
I’m the only one that got into the paddy field …
Got a free mudbath from it~
Next we went to play the water obstacle course.
Crossed a few logs, hanging bridge & a swing.
The only thing I’m unable to do properly is the swing
(which i belive i’m still unable to do properly)
Throughout this obstacle course,
I had a kid under my guidance …
He was so scare to cross the log that I had to help build his confidence
helped him to cross it.
(He even almost sucessfully pulled both him and I down into the water)
After the obstacle course,
we made our way to the little hut on the island in the middle of the lake
4 rowed 2 boats to the isle while me and another gal took the bamboo raft
It’s really diffcult to push the raft …
It’s already late evening when we got back
after we clean up,
it is dinner time la~
all is good old organic stuffs
After dinner,
some of us went back to room while some others stayed out
chated with our host
They showed us how to make empeng (rice pop corn)
though didn’t successfully make it
Later into the night,
Ke Yong took out 2 lanterns he bought.
Doraemon & Hello Kitty
Some of us went out to play with the lantern
(to celebrate moon cake festival)
One of my motive was to attract the kids (which we are successful)
2 kids (which played with us on the obstacle course) followed us
the comments the gave ….
saying it’s total darkness,
unable to see a thing at all …
there’s a sea in front …
streets of jb is brightly lit …
(all of this were said while they were carrying the lanterns)
*Not to forget the nice desert Shya bought for us~
*Thanks Shya
13/09
As Shya had urgent matters to attend,
she left us after having breakfast.
The rest of our group continue our trip
we trek towards the floodgate that controls river water flowing into the rice field
It was during this trek that I got to know at least one of the students was thought by Vivien before
and one of the teacher knows Vivien (was her junior @ maktab)
also got to know of a gal
I got a fell she’s very similar to Mei Mei in some ways
maybe more than I can imagine
Though she said she’s no nature lover,
she prefers the bustling city life,
but she’s still very young
from talks with her,
I have a feel she will return to this place
or to similar place
(Due to my stuburnness of some character, I didn’t get her contact though I’d love to)
(A character flaw that needs to be changed)
It’s already lunch time when we got back to the farm
Shya too had return to the farm
After lunch
we started to pack & perpared to leave
Again,
I drove us to Kluang
we bought our bus ticket
waited for the bus a while
Shya drove back on herself after we boarded the bus
Not long after boarding the bus …
I fell asleep like a pig …
only waking as we arrived in Larkin
Here,
as all of them are headed back into SG,
I parted ways with them here.
Great trip
Thanks for the great arrangements Shya~ 
In 1 sentence
this is a well worth trip to me.
