We all went to the bus to go for lunch....
Hungry hungry!!!!

 Before lunch...
They had a talk on their honey products...
It is pure honey...
a small bottle is rm25 and for the mature honey is rm28...
it is not cheap seriously... but it is good i guess....
i did not buy... lol...
well... they say that pure honey do not have expiry date... if your honey has expiry date... it is fake!!!
and honey should not be kept in the fridge... as the vitamins and enzyme will deteriorate...
good for asthma...
They sell Royal Jelly too... good for skin n health... but it cost rm250 for a small container....
they sell honey with tongkat ali as well.. lol...
 Me and my mum ...
took a picture while the guy is preaching away about how good the honey is...

 Then we went for lunch...
sorry did not take any picture... was hungry after helping out then just ate....
they served fried rice, fried chicken, sausage, cucumber and a super sweet drink.. lol...

After lunch we did some shopping...
my mum bought fruits and i am not sure... but she bought stuffs... lol...
to me it looks like a mini market... not interested.... lol...

 Before we head back to school...
They gave out fruit packs of local fruits...






 And off we went back!!!!!


We left in the morning about 8amplus and returned about 2pm plus...

It was an experience...
I think the kids enjoy it...
