1. I survived drinking river water. The water is clear, but don't expect it to be particles free.
2. Wildboar meat is not a very good delicacy. They prepared it for us for breakfast, together with mihun. The meat is black in color, and it has some kind of smell.
3. The orang asli are very nice and friendly. They provided good hospitality and served us with a lot of food that we cannot finish. Oh yah, they will wait for us to finish our meals before they eat. Every morning, when I wake up and go out, I was greeted by their smiles. Really refreshing to see this.
4. I ate my first tapioca. Also tried their rice. It’s reddish black in color. Don’t fancy it too.
5. Most of the kids can't speak BM, but when you passed by their villages, they will shout "hallelujah!" It was amazing to experience that even though they don't know so many stuff, like language and work and hygiene, but they know who Christ is.
6. Org asli are great worshippers of God. All of us were impacted when they began worshipping God even though everything was in BM. This shows that God's influence is beyond culture barriers. During sermon, you can see the men opening their Bibles, taking notes and sitting on the floor in front of the pastor, hearing the Word of God. One hand will be busy writing; the other will be holding their torch lights. We are so impacted by their faith and love for Christ.
7. I learned how to take shower in 3 dives and 2 scrubs at the river. First dive is to wet myself. Then wash my hair. Another jump into the river. Out and apply foam bath all over me. Last jump and I'm clean! Fastest shower ever :-)
8. 2 hours trip behind a Toyota Hilux was a pain in the ass because the trunk road was bumpy but it was fun and a great experience.
9. They lived in houses made out of bamboos and tree trunks. The main living room is the kitchen (where the fireplace is located) and it is very cozy at night. We helped them built the church platform that collapsed.
10. They need a lot of help from the outside world, in terms of food, electricity, tools, vaccination, and health awareness. The younger kids are undernourished and have kwashiorkor.
Life in Kg Jangkap is so relaxing, and so easy-going. They only work when needed. At night, they will group together and play the guitar and chat under their houses. I really miss being there with them, talking to them and mandi sungai together. Felt really blessed. Looking for more visits in future.
