Hey everyone! Here's what I think about the Malacca trip...
Firstly, the Bathik Painting. It's wonderful, I tell you. They did the base designs for us so all we had to do is just simply fill in bright colours of our imagination and taa-daa! You get your own Bathik painting. It was great fun. I'm sure most of us would most certainly have enjoyed it. Even if you don't, I do. I would most likely enjoy it even more if we get to make our own designs, because we get to bring it home. Even still, with the regrets, I think it was one of the things I enjoyed.
Secondly, the Kampong Indah Tour. It was really nice, very different from my grandparents' house. They live in a Kampong too, but apparently theirs is more modern than the one we went to check out. It's altogether a different kind of feeling, where you feel you are actually brought closer to Mother Nature.We got to see many cool stuff that we couldn't see in Singapore. For example, Kampong chickens not kept in their cages(that's a cool sight), 2 chubby irresistably cute kittens, waiting fot your cuddle. Also the Sari wearing and the Ketupat making. Honestly, you don't see that frequently in Singapore, do you? Not to mention, their creative and interesting ways of planting plants. They use old tires as flower pots. Maybe we should recommend this idea to our mothers, eh? The plants over there are also very interesting. They grow sweet potatoes, bamboos, etc. Many others. Take a look at the pictures! Last but not least, the bridal thrones and rooms and gifts. Plus their entertainment(games). Although the bridal room was small, it was indeed fascinating. Somewhat very different from the Chinese. The way of their moving house is actually weird yet fascinating. To us, moving house is actually packing our belongings and moving to another house, but to them however, moving house means moving the whole huge entire house to another empty space. Cool, isn't it?
Thirdly, the Rubber Tapping, Top Spinning and Martial Arts. Rubber tapping was indeed very interesting. Before this trip, the thing that came into my mind was just simply: 1. Using an equipment to cut a line on the tree bark without any pattern. 2. Put a bucket there and wait for it to be filled with latex. 3. Bring the bucket to a factory or to whoever knows how to turn it into rubber. 4. Done! It was so different from my thoughts. Well, the first one itself was already wrong. There is a pattern in doing this! From the top left to the bottom right. That's what the tour guide told us. Frankly speaking, I've long forgotten what the equipment is called... the second one was quite right, except they have to wait for 3 hours. The third step is the silliest thought I've ever thought of. Well, they do use machines, but we have to operate the machines manually, which is a lot of hard work to squeeze out all the water. Reminds me of tofu, during one of the steps. Then reminds me of Zhen Hui stuffing all the tofu into his mouth! During the first day of Melaka trip, during lunch. Top Spinning is very engaging. There was a miniature competition between the father and son, who were showing us how to play a top. They were very nice though, from the look on their face. They insisted that some of our classmates try playing the top. But few of them succeeded though. I didn't try, mainly because I wasn't interested in trying. Only viewing. Then they sold tops so the few who tried bought the top for practicing. Unfortunately, dear Mrs Chiam didn't allow them to play/practice the top in the hotel rooms, so boo-hoo. But overall, we did have fun, those who viewed and those who tried. The Malay kind of Martial Arts, is actually very different from Martial Arts itself. That's because the music is made from musical instruments, which people would have to play. Unlike Martial Arts now, it's actually played from a CD. They learn this kind of martial arts to build their body, I think. I'm not too sure either. It's surprisingly not violent at all, and according to the tour guide, not like taekwondo*. The tour guide pulled some students, a mixture of girls and boys, to learn some of the basics from one of the people. Only some leg movement and mainly hand movement. All of us hid behind so that the chance of us being called is lower. I remembered that Yi Xuan, Wei Hock, Gerald and Ee Sim were pulled out. I couldn't remember the rest. We laughed and them though. Every one of us.
Fourthly, the School Visiting. We went to a school that, according to the tour guide, is something like a SAP school, except it's more Malayish. Some of the teachers there could speak English, so it's not that difficult to understand. Mrs Chor did say some Malay greetings though. Luckily, she did translate it back to English so we could understand. They did some performances for us. Their school, unlike ours, teaches from kindergarten to Primary 6, I think. The Seniors did a performance and so did the young ones, who looked so cute! So innocent-looking... We also exchanged gifts, both the schools and students. But it was sort of rush, because we ended up throwing all our souvenirs into a plastic bag and so did they. But theirs' were neater. All memos. Ours were a mixture. For example, LiXin's one. Hers is handmade. Cool. Sadly, on that day, it was drizzling, so we could not play the outdoor games they had planned for us sincerely. Instead, we went for a break and later to our respective areas to take part in the indoor activities. Ours was once again Top Spinning. I have to admit, the instructor/demonstrater was indeed hot-tempered. When his top went wiggly or flew down the table, he would fly into this rage, and say some words, Malay of course. Some of the students from that school came to watch too. He requested Ke Ying, Sing Wei, Sylvia, Gerald, Xin Ze and Kwan Yang to join him, one after another. Not to mention some of the Malay students.
Last but not least, the meals and etc. I actually liked my table grouping. That's because we all had fun joking, laughing and playing poker cards. Especially on the first meal, that's because of Zhen Hui. We insisted that he ate finish everything, otherwise we cannot go home, by orders of Mrs Chiam. At first he didn't believe us, but we told him that if he ate etc. servings of etc., he will grow 1 pack. As they say guys have 6packs. Sorry, but I don't know how to spell it. So he carried on munching, or should I say gobbling. The following days were not as bad, except for dinner. We were separated though. However, I enjoyed dinner too, because I get to sit with all my friends. (all girls) The tour guides that lead us round, especially Mr Roger, taught us many things and those processes that we didn't even know. It's really engaging, this trip. The shopping part was the best. I get to buy gifts for my family and friends. Sadly, I have regrets. Regrets for not bringing enough money, and not enough time. We went to A Famosa too, but we didn't swim. Heard that the swimming pool is very dirty too, so no regrets for that. I feel really sad for the people behind me, especially Gisella, when we get to carved our names on the wood-like pencils for 2 for 5RM. We had not enough time, thus resulting in the fact that they couldn't carve. I was the last one. Mrs Chiam made some for her children. I made 2 for my parents. They thought that the keychain was brilliant. However, I didn't buy for some of my friends... That can be counted as another regret, I suppose so. Although they were many scenic places, there were also many happenings like the confiscating of the poker cards and the bedtime rule. In bed by 10pm. Apparently the whole class isn't that obedient, so most of us slept later. I shan't mention who then, but all I want to add in lastly is on the overall, this trip was certainly wonderful. Or should I say no words can be used to describe this feeling. If there was another same kind of trip, I would gladly participate, this time bringing more money and requesting for more time. Haha. =PVivian=P
