MM 2008 - SuRvIvor Day 2

The day started with a sumptuous buffet breakfast. All of us were treated with free-flow fried mee, toast bread, eggs, coffee, tea, etc.




All of the students and teachers were split into two groups today. Each group will do a different set of activities and on the following day, the activities will be swapped. I was together with Group B throughout the day.


Our first stop was the Batik Factory. The lady in-charge gave us a brief 10-min introduction on what batik painting is all about. Subsequently, the students began to make their own batik-designed handkerchiefs. Just look at how creative each and every single student can be.





In the afternoon, we went on to the turtle sanctuary at Pahang. We learnt about how the people over there help prevent certain species of turtles from becoming extinct. It was a rather interesting process.




The agriculture park was our next stop. We found many interesting fruit trees like cross-breed durian trees (between Thai and Malaysian durians). We took a tour on the tractor and went around the park.





At night, we had a buffet dinner back at the hotel, which most of the boys really enjoyed after a rather eventful and tiring day.
