ORANG ASLI also known as BUMIPUTRA. Basically, they communicate in Malay Language but they still have their own language which i cannot understand at all. They are talented in language. Most of them can speak Malay Language, English, Mandarin, Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien and their mother tongue.
3rd of October is their New Year and their party held on 10th October. My family had invited because my dad stayed together with them since young. Hence, i went there with my dad, sisters and friend, Karen. It took 2hours to reach there from my house, Seremban. The road is narrow where only one car can pass by at once. It is a long and wonderful journey for us. Finally, we reached.
We had our dinner at village head's house. They served us with "LEMANG" (glutinous rice mixed with coconut milk baked in a long bamboo slip) and different cooking types "KERBAU". It was a wonderful dinner! Really nice dinner!!!
After dinner, we walked around and chat with the small kids. They are short, skinny, dark skin and some of them barefooted. they seem dirty and unhealthy. However, they are more active and happy all the time. They have a team of band members play music for whole night and they can dance for that whole night. They will have any entertaiment except New Year, hence, they really enjoy at that night.
Children in that village could not have any candy or snack anytime except New Year or other big events in their village. Hence, i have bought 104 lollipops for all the children. They are happy to receive it from us. I can know that they are kind and not greedy at all because they will only take one lollipop and not grab many from us.
I really enjoyed my dinner there and have good time with the children.
