Media One Day Trip to Banghuris Homestay @ Sepang

Last month, I was invited as blogger to Sepang Avani resort (formerly known as Golden Palm Tree resort) for covering MoU ceremony between private sector and NGO for implementation of voluntarism adoption initiative at Bagan Lalang beach. Not only for that, I went for another activities afterwards....

上个月，我以部落客身份被邀请去Sepang Avani 度假村参与私营部门与非政府组织的谅解备忘录。这是一项关于采纳志愿措施的合作。不止那而已，稍后还有别的精彩活动...

We gathered at Matic, Jalan Ampang and got on the bus sponsored by Mayflower to the resort. The whole journey from Kuala Lumpur to Sepang took about 1 hour.

我们在Matic, Jalan Ampang集合然后上Mayflower 赞助的巴士去到度假村，全程大概1个小时。

At the registration counter, there was  a few banners showing the 1 Voluntarism program. I was told that was also National Blue Ocean strategy.

在登记处，那里有好几个布条登关于志愿活动的消息。我被告知那是政府的蓝海计划之一。

Voluntarism Adoption Initiative: Beautifying and cleaning the Bagan Lalang seaside, Sepang is one of the strategic initiative of Malaysia Tourism to ensure the tourist spot of the nation is always at the best condition in term of cleanliness and thus ensure Malaysia always becomes the best destination and 'Top of The Mind' among the tourists.

采纳志愿措施：美化和清理Sepang 的Bagan Lalang 海边是马来西亚旅游部的其中一个战略举措以确保我国的旅游景点永久在清洁和美化方面都是最佳的状态，接下来把马来西亚打造成为旅客心目中最好的景点和第一选择。

The whole ceremony took just less than two hour for speeches and video presentation as well as signing the MoU. Actually I much awaited for the next program :)

整个仪式包括演讲和录像呈现大概用了少于2小时的时间。其实我更期待接下来的活动 :)

Before we leave, we have a chance of snapping a few pictures of the resort. That's a breathtaking view of the resort! From the top view, chalet houses at Avani resort are being built in rows like a palm tree.

在还未离开这度假村前，我们有机会在这里拍几张照片。这是那么雄伟的建筑！从上面看下来，一排排的Avani resort的度假屋被排成好像一棵棕榈树那样。

So after having our lunch at the resort, we were all brought to Banghuris Homestay. Feel honourable to be welcomed with a troop of Kompang players by the time we were arriving.

我们在度假村用了午餐后，我们就被带到Banghuris Homestay. 感到有点荣幸因为抵达时一群Kompang 表演者击鼓欢迎我们的到来。

Then, each of us also being served with fresh coconut water.

接下来，我们每个都有新鲜的椰水喝。

That's a nice thing to have it during a hot day.

在热天有椰水喝真的很棒！

That's tasty! Look at me, I was sweating not because I worked under the sun but the weather was hot that day.

真的好喝！看我，我正在冒汗不是因为我在太阳底下做工而是天气实在太热。

The mayor of the village welcomed us with a simple speech and followed with song presentation by local villagers.

村长也以简单的言词欢迎我们。接下来便是村民们的歌唱表演。

While enjoying the music, we lined up to get our food. 

在享受音乐的期间，我们也排队拿我们的食物。

Just now we had our lunch at Avani, but we were not enough and our stomachs half full as we ate in rush and now we were spoiled with more here :)

刚才我们在Avani吃午餐，但是因为很赶所以没吃饱。现在这里我们却有一堆美食等待我们 :)

I love durian...how about you? Yeah we can ate till full here as they had a lorry with durians to serve us.

我喜欢榴莲...你呢？是，我们吃到肚子没位因为他们有准备一罗里的榴莲给我们。

Coming next was song presentation by a young local arising star. (sorry I don't know his name btw)

接下来是本地年轻的新进歌手献唱 (对不起我不知道他的名字）

After feeding up with all the nice food hosted by the villagers, I decided for a walk around the place. Just a few steps from where I sat and enjoyed my late lunch, there was a fishing pond.

吃完村民们给我们的食物后，我决定在这周围走走。离我坐下来吃东西的地方不远，那里是个鱼塘。

Look at the pail, there was some fishes from the pond.

看看那桶，里面有几只从鱼塘钓上来的鱼儿。

This young man was there teaching us how to fish using the stick and thread.

这年轻小子在那教我们如何使用那杆和绳子来钓鱼。

That was my second time fishing.

这是我第二次钓鱼。

Next, we head to rubber plantation that was a few stones away from the fishing pond. I guess you already what we gonna do here right?

解析来，我们去离鱼塘不远的橡胶园去。我猜想你也知道我们在这里干什么吧？

That is how rubber plantation look like!

这就是橡胶园！

There was an demonstration beforehand and now my turn trying to tap the rubber tree.

还没开始动手割橡胶树前，我们有专人指导如何割。现在是轮到我表演的时候了。

Frankly speaking, we need some skills on it. Otherwise, the juice would not come out.

说真的，割胶需要一些技术。否则，树胶是不会流出来的。

That was the fun thing when we successfully did it!

当我们成功做到时，心里是很兴奋的哦！

Then we were being shown how the rubber being processed using the machine.

之后我们就观赏那割下来的胶是怎样使用这机器去处理的。

Then we were brought to a bamboo forest. I heard this place is a hot spot for taking wedding photography. What do you think?

过后，我们被带到竹林。我听说这地方是许多新人来拍结婚照的地方。你怎样看？

Due to time limitation, we only able to experience part of the activities available at Banghuris Homestay. There is plenty of interesting activities such as batik painting, tree planting, traditional games and dance learning, coffee plantation visit and etc.

因为时间有限，我们只能去体验Banghuris Homestay的一些活动。其实还有更多有趣的节目如彩巴蒂布，种树，传统游戏和舞蹈学习，参观咖啡园等等。

Right now Banghuris Homestay is offering RM250 for a 3days 2 night package that is inclusive of meals and planned activities. Great for kids during school holidays and for those who wants to experience a village life. I highly recommend here if you have kids as the activities over here can be educational for them. Furthermore,  I think the experience gained is priceless.

现在Banghuris Homestay有提供3天2夜的配套包括饮食和一些活动，价钱是RM250。在学校假期，非常适合带小孩子来体验乡村生活。若有小孩子的家庭，我非常提议来这里度假因为透过这里的活动可以拿来教育小孩。除此以外，我觉得得来的经验是可贵的。
