Flashback series - episode 8

The adopted family

It was my first ever visit to batu pahat. i think i have passed it many times but never stopped n stayed there. Why was i there? well because de jun n i had the false notion that every clinical school student has to participate in the kg. angkat project. ( adopted village prog). actually if u remember, i did organise n participate in the IMU bukit jalil version of the programme. but that one was really a kg. orang asli. This time it was quite fun coz we got to particiapte along with our super seniors in sem 10 whom are residing at batu pahat campus. we never really got to know them before coz when we were sem 1 they were sem 5. mus say they are a good bunch of ppl. ok coming back to my original story...why did i say de jun n i had the false notion...well it false...it was no rule that every has to do it...so we kinda got terperangkap...coz they timing was not so right as exams were closeby....but who knew it would have turned out to be a great experience.

The bunch of us that went, were divided into pairs. the 1st night we stayed in our seniors place in BP and the second day onwards we stayed at the Kampung Simpang Enam....one long road streches along few villages surrounded by lush green palm tree farms..n pineapple farms.

the village people were not like i expected, they are really very well educated and well to do..most of the new generations are residing in towns but they all come back during holidays weekends to spend time with their folks. the kg ppl are really friendly and fun. they had so many activites. in return we had done a health screening and gotong royong activity for them.

one of the best ways to spend a weekend.
