A TRIP TO THE SIMPLE LIFE

ME AND MY FAMILY WENT TO A DRAGON FRUIT FARM WITH MY UNCLE AND COUSINS. I DIDNT WANTED TO GO AT FIRST COS I WANT TO STAY AT HOME AND DO MY ENGLISH SUPER LONG ESSAY AS I KNOW I WONT ANY TIME LEFT. ANYWAY, I WOKE UP AT 7AM AND WE START OUR JOURNEY AT 9AM. I HAD NO IDEA WHY MY MUM WOKE ME UP SO EARLY WHEN WE ARE GOING TO DEPART 2 HOURS LATER. IT WAS A ONE HOUR JOURNEY TO AIR PANAS, PERAK. THE FIRST THING I COULD SEE WAS CACTUS LIKE PLANT WITH BIG WHITE-YELLOW FLOWER. IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE A DRAGON FRUIT PLANT. HONESTLY, IT IS ONE OF THE UGLIEST PLANT I HAD EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

THEN THERE IS THE CHELATE. A BIG WIDE WOODEN CHALET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE FOR FISHERMEN AND FISHERWOMEN. I TOOK MY FIRST CAST THERE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A REALLY HARD SPORT TO CATCH A FISH BUT I WASNT THAT HARD. MAYBE IS BECAUSE THE AREA OR MAYBE IT IS JUST PURE BEGINNERS LUCK. ANYWAY, IT WAS REALLY FUN CATCHING THE FISHES. THE EXCITING PART IS WHEN THEY CAUGHT THE BAIT AND WE HAVE TO QUICKLY PULL IT UP. YIMEI CAUGHT THE FIRST FISH. A SMALL TILAPIA FISH WHICH WE EVNTUALLY LET IT GO. HER SECOND CAST THEN CAUGHT ANOTHER BLACK SMALL FISH. AGAIN WE RELEASED IT. THEN ME, MY COUSIN AND MY SIS ONE BY ONE CAUGHT A FISH. HOWEVER, IT WAS MY COUSIN WHO CAUGHT THE BIGGEST FISH AND I WAS SECOND. BEATING DOWN ALL THE OLD MAN'S FACE. OUR TWO BIG FISH WAS THE PRICE FOR OUR LUNCH LATER. AFTER TIRING OF FISHING, WE WENT AND HUNT FOR FRUITS. FOR THE FIRST TIME, I SAW A WILD RAMBUTAN. A DIFFRENT TYPE OF THE NORMAL RAMBUTAN. THEN WE ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME FALLING DURIAN.

SPEAKING OF DURIAN, IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!! THE BITTER SWEET TASTE SHOWS THAT KAMPUNG DURIAN IS THE PURE MALAYSIAN DURIAN. LUNCH WAS SERVED BY MY FATHER. EVERYBODY COULDNT WAIT TO DIG IN INTO ME AND MY COUSIN FISH (I KNOW IT SOUNDED REALLY BRAGGISH BUT I AM JUS PROUD. IT IS MY FIRST TIME). LATER ON, A FEW OF MY UNCLE'S FRIENDS CAME. ANOTHER MAN CAUGHT THE LONG BIG FISH AND I THINK IT IS LONGER THAN ME AND MY COUSIN'S. YIMEI ALSO ALMOST CAUGHT ANOTHER BIG FISH BUT THE FISH BIT THE THREAD AND SWIM OF WITH A PIERCE MOUTH. YILIAN DIDNT ENJOY THE FISHING MUCH. IT WAS REALLY PITIFUL SEEING THE FISHED SUFFER LIKE THAT. AFTER 2 HOURS, I WAS GETTING BORED AND I FEEL REALLY DIRTY AS THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT VERY CLEAN WITH BEES AND FLIES AND FLEAS HERE AND THERE. WE PLAYED CARD AND LATER EAT SOMEMORE. IT WAS A BORING TIME THEN. I WAS AWFULLY SLEEPY AND WANTED TO GO HOME BADLY. AT ABOUT 3.30PM WE WENT HOME. HERE ARE A FEW PICTURes there
