在八月二十日这天,我们一行二十人到了渔米之乡——适耕庄,这好似大家庭的一日游。我们共乘了五辆车,大小不拘,浩浩荡荡从八打零再也出发去。适耕庄离八打零再也只需要大概一小时。

20th August 2011 was a day when 20 of us organized a one day trip to Sekinchan, a town located approximately one hour distance away from Petaling Jaya. We went there by five cars.

Five cars on board 😀

到适耕庄不能不去的,莫过于那片广阔无际的稻田啦~ 这是我们的第一站。那时候不是收割的季节,所以无法看见金黄色的稻田,取而代之的是那一望无际绿油油的稻田。尽管如此,那景色仍旧叫人叹为观止。我们尽情地享受当地的好风光、也尽情地拍照~ 离开前,也不忘照了一张全体照。 🙂

Our first destination was the paddy field. It was not a harvest season,  so the expected yellowish field was substituted by a borderless greenish paddy field. However, it was still breathtakingly beautiful~ 🙂 We took photos and enjoyed ourselves in the soothing breeze~ Before departing, we took a group photo. 🙂

之后,我们举步到了附近的一个海边,这是适耕庄内其中一个小港口。是个不错的摄影景点哦!:) 近黄昏时刻,我们还看见几艘的渔船缓缓地拖着其疲累的驱壳从汪洋中返回港湾呢。

Later, we went to a nearby beach, it is one of the harbors in Sekinchan. It was quite a good spot for photo-shootings! 🙂 We saw some tired fishing boats returning from the ocean as the day turned dust.

夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏。天色渐暗,我们便前往一家附近的餐厅享用期待已久的海鲜大餐!那里的食物价格不但合理,味道也一级棒!:)

As the day darkened,we grabbed the long-waited seafood dinner at a nearby restaurant in Sekinchan. The price of food was reasonable and the food were superlicious! 🙂

享用过美味佳肴后,我们前往Kuala Selangor,看营火虫去!天不作美,竟然下起雨来。抵达时,等待厅和报名处都挤满了人。因着雨势浩大,工作人员暂停带游客坐船观看萤火虫,直等到雨势缓和为止。好些游客因而失去耐心而放弃等待。感恩,我们这一群人,有着惊人的耐力,等到最后,剩下的游客已寥寥无几。皇天不负苦心人,蒙神的恩典,我们终于顺利登船啦~ 原来上帝叫雨把挤满的人群都散去!感谢神!;)

After the abundant dinner, we went to Kuala Selangor to see fireflies! Sadly, rain fell heavily by the time we arrived. The registration counter and waiting lobby was crowded with people. Due to the heavy rain, the staffs suspended sending people in to see the fireflies. Many of the tourists gave up waiting and left. Thankfully, our group have had an amazing patience. As we waited until the end, there was only a few tourists left. Thank God, we finally managed to aboard the boat~ God asked the rain to come and chase the crowd away! Thank God! 😉

总的来说,这趟旅程虽是累人却又叫人流连忘返^ ^ 在未来的日子里,我们会再举办类似的郊游,到其他著名景点去。到时希望能看见你的参与哦!欢迎你参与我们!:)

In nutshell, it was a tiring yet awesome and pleasant trip! ^ ^ We’ll organize other trip to other interesting places in days to come, please come and join the fun with us! 🙂
