| Write no lie: A Fortnight Journey - Part (ii) <b>Felda Keratong</b> Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:30 AM PDT We moved to our second destination, Felda Keratong. Wow! Every family in Felda owns at least a tablet, lots of handphones and even an astro decoder! Valerie and I were placed in the same foster family house. We were lucky to get Pak Cik Salleh and family. They were so nice and their deeds can't be paid by money. We had a nice tea time that evening, and Valerie also had the chance to ride a motorbike. At night, they brought us to the food court, that gave Valerie the chance to taste more Malaysian food. She tried, Nasi Goreng Kampung, Satay, Yong Tau Foo and Tom Yam. 23rd August 2013 We gathered at the Keratong Secondary School at 7.45am. They served us breakfast but then our foster family had served us loads of food from Nasi Goreng, Nasi Lemak and some desserts. I never got hungry when I was in Keratong. The session started by Zuli told us his story, his hardship and what he had achieved. It was inspiring. My favourite quote was "Don't pray for your life to get easier, but pray for yourself to be stronger." There were few modules conducted but everything was about to make the students feel confident to speak in English. In the evening, we had a futsal match, I am no good at sport except for jogging but I tried to play and I think I played like a fool. At night, we went to an open house. This time, Valerie got the chance to try Lontong, Lemang and Rendang. We went home, and before going to bed we did gossip and the funniest thing was: 24th August 2013 The kids were much more exciting. It was much easier to get their co-operation compared to the secondary school students. They were cheerful and energetic! I found that it was much easier to remember a naughty kid's name compared to the shy one, so kids please be naughty! These kids were impressive, one of them could even make a complex sentence when we asked them to make a sentence about market. She gave me this sentence, "There are lots of people doing various things in the market." Jaw dropped! 9. Mak Lang's Open House Mak Lang is actually Zuli's aunt. Her house is really cool! There is one small hut, where people play carom and on that day, we learnt how to make ketupat at the hut. Sincerely, I never knew how to make ketupat and even my mum always buys the ready made ketupat from the supermarket. It was hard for me at first but nothing can beat the hard work, after lots of trials and three teachers including my foster parents, I managed to finish one. The food was nice! There were laksa, lemang, mee kari, satay and coconut jelly which Valerie took some home. 10. Badminton Match At that night, we went to the Badminton Court. The court was so nice and I could not believe that it was in a Felda. Kak Syahira picked us up. She was among the important people who made this programme happened. She is pretty, nice and knows most of the sports that we played from futsal, hand ball and badminton. I played three games, but I could only remember the last game where I was partnering with Kak Syahira before partnering with Joe. We were against Zuli and Farid. It was hilarious. We were laughing all the time. Went home at 11pm, and this really made me guilty when my foster dad woke up my foster mum and she prepared us some snack. Guilty all over again. 25th August 2013 This was the most exciting part ever! We were lucky that, we could get on the pick up truck! I never had the chance to be on one, and on that day my wish was granted. We had fun on the joy ride moment! We visited a palm oil and that was the first time I knew about how the palm fruits are harvested. Then, the worker brought us to the farther side of the Felda where there is a suspension bridge there. They also did bring us to the palm oil refinery. There was a video captured when we were on the pick up truck but I think the video is a bit inappropriate to be shown. Kak Syahira did also treat us with ice-cream and at last got the chance to eat "potong" ice cream after a long time. That was the last day in Keratong. The next destination was Kuantan. Stay tuned! |
