We are going for an outing, no more empty promises this time round. We are going to the country-side this time round. Though we have been going Malaysia but we did not really experience the real country-side life. Here it goes; we are going for a two days tour. We started off with a lunch, a truly different place to have meals.
Though we are inside a cage of net to shield off fly, or bugs, they are just too many of them. We did not know what to do as we are new to such places; we started off by watching people playing mahjong. We are to decide what to have for dinner and this part right there kind of unbearable scene. However before that, we got to choose which lamb to be slaughtered for dinner as we chosen roasted lamb; it is the whole lamb that will be roasted. Though I have been eating meat since I was young, we don’t go through this scene anyway. Though I can’t stand the situation but I think I ought to take some pictures of it because they still will be slaughtered anyway. One way to repay in them is not to waste their meat. From this, I really know that, when there is no demand, there will be no supply.
They way of playing is certainly different from us. After which, we are going to a nearby amusement park, with flying fox and bungee jump as the two main events. As I am afraid of height, I decided to give it a miss.
Instead, I went to play “Jeep” and visited the temple over there.
We certainly took a lot of pictures over there.
Told ya that i afraid of height and the thing is shaky
What do you think that the hill looks like?
Now you know?
After a long day, we went back and it is our turn to play some mahjong. My PM asked whether we know how to play, we certainly do but not sure about their rule over here. However, as we goes on, I can see that their way of playing is totally different from us, they don’t have so much rules compared to us and the rate of winning is so much higher. The lamb that was still kicking, was already been roasted on the table. Once again, though the scene was unbearable again, we got to eat it no matter what because we chose it. I try not to waste my share as I don’t want it to die for nothing. Thus, to everyone out there, don’t waste any food, regardless of rice or meat or even vegetable. After dinner, there are two programs, KTV and bon-fire however both are too disappointing.
The streets out there was pitch black, no street lights at all. Once again, I have some thought, I am real fortunate to be born in Singapore and live there. When you see something better or worse, you will know more about your current situation. After walking out in the pitch black streets, we came back for mahjong again but I was too tired that I asked Qing Yang to take over me instead. I went back to the room and get some rest. However, one of my colleagues came up to bathe as their room’s water supply was stopped. After he bathed finish, we sort of chatted about hometown. I asked how their hometown like was and it so happened that the television was showing some hill areas and he told me that his hometown was sort of this kind. Once again, I felt fortunate and will appreciate with what I have. I also asked what are you doing back there and your parents too. They are farmers, farmers who led a hard and harsh life. Work the hardest of all yet earn the least of all. Hence, we seriously must try our very best not to waste any food. I had a lot of thoughts for the day; few paragraphs can’t really express what is going on and how exactly I felt.
