Belum

On Malaysia week I went to Royal Belum which is located in a state called Perak. It is a challenging site and there are plenty of leeches. We arrive at Belum by lunch time after a six hours bus ride. We took a long boat ride to our camp site and we finally arrive at the camp site after forty five minutes. When we arrive there the first thing we did was to essemble our tent. After that we had our lunch. We ate chicken with rice and the food was tasty.

The next day we hike for one kilometer in a jungle. When we are going back to our boat there was a steep hill and muddy hill. I slipped down that muddy hill and landed on one of the facilitators which we adress her as Kakak Mei Chin which means "Sister Mei Chin" She was not injured but I was. I got spikes in my skin which hurts and my toes cramp. The rangers lift me up and I thanked Kakak Mei Chin for saving me from that fall. While we were walking I stepped on a mud puddle. Now my shoes are all muddy and my teacher Mr. Sheflin said "It couldn't get any worst" After twenty minutes we arrive at the boat. I counted leach bite, luckily I have only two.

The next day we went to the orang asli village. We gave them present and they really appreciate it. The presents contains coloring book, color pencils and note book. We borrowed blow pipes to pop balloons. Later on we played soccer with the orang asli and we won against them. After two hours we return home and the orang asli waved goodbye at us.When we reach our camp site te ranger taught us how to start a fire, make animal traps, tracking signs and bamboo rice cooking. I helped to cook the fried chicken. First we was the chicken and remove all the gross fat. Secondly we gut it and split it in small pieces. Third we merinate the chicken before we fried it. The our remaining time we made omelette for dinner. Our dinner tonight is fried chicken omelet and rice cooked in bamboo.

On the third day of Malaysia week, we went bamboo rafting. My rafting team is CY, Zareef and my mandarin teacher Miss. Zhao. Our raft collide with other rafts when we lost control and when we made a wrong turn. We paddled our rafts until we reach the orangasli village. It took us forty five minutes to reach the village and the bright side was that we came in second place. When we reach the village, our instructor Tim tied all the rafts together and tied the all on one boat. We all lie down while we are towed back to our camp site. At night we did our nightwalk. Nightwalk is when we go into the jungle and without flashlight we hold eachother's shoulder and walk to hear all the sound of insects that come out at night.

The following day we hiked for the secod time to see the biggest flower in the world which is refflesia. Our instructor told us that this track is easier than the first one. The second track has alot of leaches. There are two kinds of leeches. One is brown leech which is a nice leech. They made our skin numbso that we can't feel when they bite. The second leech is the tiger leech. This is a very mean leech because they just bite you without making you numb.After one hour we stopped near a river to take a rest. The instructor said that you can go back to camp site if you want. I choose to go back to camp site. We wade through the river so that we don't have to get more leeches which is suffering. After half an hour we reach our boat to head to the camp site.
When we reach to the camp site I count how many leech I had. I had twelve and the teachers adress me as a leech magnets.

Our last night in Belum Tim our instructor ask us to take our sleeping bag because we are sleeping in long houses instead of tents. The reason being is that trees branches are falling down

My Father

The most important person in my whole life is my beloved father. He is important because without him I would not be able to get a good education in the school of Iskl. He brought me up with caring and loving which make make my life a wonderful one. He teaches me to be confident and to trust myself so that when I grow up I will be able to be a good citizen and a responsible person. He also teaches me to take care of the environment so that the world will not have such a high level of polluted air. The environment that we live in is so crucial that we have to take every effort to save it. Theses small efforts of ours in keeping the environment will provide the next generation a nicer to live in. My father also teaches me to care for other people and to speak in an appropriate language whenever I talk to someone, more important when I speak to the elder one to show respect. My dad also encourage me to read and learn because by reading we can be a better writer. In the future I will be able to use this skill for making reports. My dad also teaches me to never give up in life. He advises me to get up when I am down and to face the challenges head on.My belove father is to me a guiding star and I will always remember what he says, what he does and will be confident in facing the world I live in.

Back To Normal

These are pictures of affected houses and where the land had slide. Before the main road was open the was extremely dusty in Bukit Antarabangsa because truck are coming to pick up the sands and dirt from the landslide. I guess this massive landslide is part of erosion because this was the second time that there was a landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa. The first time there was a landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa was when a taxi driver was driving down the hill. Suddenly land slide down and washed away the taxi. Luckily no one died. Next year our family plan to move away from Bukit Antarabangsa because we are afraid of being stranded like a rat. See my older post if you want to see more images of the landslide. Once again I am so glad that things are back to normal. Since a lot of people had moved out of Bukit Antarabangsa because of the landslide the trafic is not that bad as it normally is. I can get to school on time and dad can get to his office earlier.

The Disaster Near My House

These are pictures of the landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa. 14 houses were affected badly. According to the report in news paper 5 people lost their lives and many people were seriously injured during this horrible tragedy. Last few weeks, Bukit Antarabangsa was full with army, police and firefighters. It was chaos up here and a couple of times it was blackout because they are repairing the high voltage cable which provide electricity for all houses. I hope things will get back to normal as soon as possible.

From the Horse to the Automobile

In the early 1900's people would travel in a horse and wagon which sometimes took days to reach travel from one place to another. The car changed the way people traveled. It was a world changing invention. The Mercedes Benz and the BMW were both early car companies. Today they made awesome luxury cars and very high speed performance cars.The most luxurious car Mercedes made was the S class. The luxury car from the BMW automaker was the 7 series. They are my favorite car company because their cars last a very long time.

My all time favorite car is called the Mercedes Benz S 500. Last Christmas vacation my dad and I went to a Mercedes Benz showroom. In the showroom I noticed a shiny black car. It was the Mercedes Benz S 500. It is a beautiful and awesome machine . I opened the door and I sat inside the car. It was very comfortable. The orange leather seat of that car made me feel like I was going on a first class seat in a plane.

One of my favorite car is the BMW 760 LI. It is very luxurious and comfortable just like the Mercedes Benz S 500. It also costs alot. Last year during the winter break I went to the BMW showroom. It was HUGE. As I walked into the showroom I inspected every car. Suddenly I noticed a BMW 760 LI. It was beautiful and very shiny. I opened the door and sat in that car. It was SO comfortable and extremely luxury.

After about half an hour in that showroom we returned home. I think that Mercedes and BMW produce the best luxury cars in the world ( in my opinion). Once again I am so glad they have made the automobile. I can't imagine traveling in a wagon pulled by a horse.
