P/S: We still talking about Day 2 at Kampung Kuala Boh, Cameron Highlands, Pahang.......
Those kids really awesome to be hang out. They loved sweets/candy or everything that are SWEET. Each time we distributed those candy, everyone will surround us like we are giving away "duit raya" or "presents". But all of us set in our mind those are our "sedekah" for them. Anis, our leader of this program already remind us to bring along packets of sweets for those children. We take note of that.

While for lunch on that day, Tok Batin already asked favor few of villagers to help us to
prepare the “special menu”. So, the
preparation was made early in the morning. A few of us follow them into the woods and some of us went to
market bought fresh supplies such as kilos of chicken, vegetables and
rice. In the mean time, we also followed
the villagers to cut down several of bamboos.
This was truly experience for us because we will eat rice cooking inside
the bamboos. It similar with “lemang”.
 |
Meet our Mr. Hulk, Roslan who willing to carry those bamboos.
Thank you |
 |
The bamboo need to be cut into this size
|
 |
Yeah, lots of fire woods.
|
 |
After the rice was rinsed and wash, they will wrapped it and put inside
those bamboos.
|
 |
| It's not lemang, it's nasi pangsur in the making! |
 |
| Yeah, our nasi pangsur have been cooked! |
 |
| The expert |
 |
| Alhamdulillah, nasi pangsur served! |
Well, our lunch will be not completed if there will no main dish. Come on, if there are nasi pangsur, it must be a "ayam pangsur". It will look rather like a steamed chicken. Oh my, you all should imagine cooking chicken in those bamboos, alternative way beside using modern cooking utensil. I believed that cooking by steaming it really healthy way instead of using oil by frying it. The technique of cook was still same like nasi pangsur. They also made "ikan pangsur" which known as steamed fish. Walla,
 |
| First step, insert all those marinate chicken into those bamboos. |

Everyone really gave 100% cooperation on preparing the lunch on that day. I felt like attending "kenduri" or some people said as "rewang". Our lecturer also lend her hand on preparing side dish. She willing to cook for us those vegetables. Even though it was a simple dish, we indulged it happily. What surprising was each of us show their talented skills at kitchen included boys. Wow.

All we can said that, Syukur Alhamdulillah for all the "rezki" we have been blessed on that day. Everybody was happy indulged the scrumptious lunch together. Through out this, we getting connected among with the villagers. It feels like we create a bonding with them as we got to know their language, local foods and traditional dance.

Before waiting for Zohor, we managed to spend our time to hang out with those children. We asked them about their schooling, activities past time, favorite channels, and song. Far beyond our expectations, they just a normal kids who loves to play, shouting, sing and have fun with others.

| They do have playground |

| Memories with those kids |
Our activity will be continue after Maghrib, means that we have plenty of time to refresh ourselves. But after Asar, some of us need to prepare the meal for that night. We planned to cook "Mihun Singapore" and have banana cake as a dessert. Just a simple menu but still considered as mouth watering. All the preparation was made by ourselves.
That night was our closing ceremony and last moment to spent with those villagers. We ended this ceremony by giving away a gift to Tok Batin and distribute our funds to them. Mostly, those funds was raised early before we came here. We were giving away clothes and books for them.
