Gapam Orang Asli Picnic at Pantai Kundor

Sunday 12-9-04 was a day that I’ll remember. Woke up at 6am… ya, so early. After washing up, I drove to Hospital Pantai to take the church van from my brother Andrew. He was still sleeping when I went to the room. Then drove to Gapam to fetch the Orang Asli children. The road to the village is wet and muddy (due to the logging activities in that area). While trying to maneuver a turning the van skidded and went to the side of the road. Thank God it didn’t crash into the trees. Then 2 OA came and help to push the van.

Altogether, a total of nine OA came. Achau’s family and Asmahwati. Drove back to the house to pick up Michelle and Andrew’s boys. After loading all the things, I drove the van to buy nasi lemak. Then the van gave problems. It jerks and sounds of explotions came from the exhaust pipe. Slowly drove back to the house. Call up Terry to borrow his van. Michelle borrowed her sister’s Kancil. Then we drove to Pantai Kundor. Timothy Cheng and Evelyn reached there already.

Unpacked all the things and the children then went for a swim. They really enjoyed themselves. Annabelle also seems to enjoy the trip. She just sat by herself and played with the sand. The children also build sand castles and they are really creative. We brought fish and sausages to barbeque. At about 12 noon we all ate nasi lemak plus the barbequed fish and sausages. A good time for all of us. I drove the van and send the Orang Asli back to their village. A wonderful day for me.
