NIK’S KAMPUNG ADVENTURE
The sentiments are shared by Kampung Quest participant, Nik Danial Hazeeq
who said he bonded with his team mates of
different cultures. Hailing from Subang Jaya,
the Mass Communication student at Inti College, has not had much experience of the
kampung life, besides his short visits to his
kampung in Kelantan.
“I’ve always wanted to know how it’s
like joining a reality show. I’ve always wanted
to join shows such as The Amazing Race, Explorace, Fear Factor and Survivor. So when I
got the chance to join Kampung Quest, I decided to take it and truly enjoyed it,” said Nik.
While admitting it was initially weird to
have cameras following him, Nik adapted to
it fast and said they were as natural as they
could be. The challenge for him was being the
only guy in the camp of 3 girls and a guy, and
physical challenges were difficult for them.
Still, thanks to teamwork, they managed to
win.
“I was away for once without gadgets
for 10 days so it was a personal challenge, as
we are all so used to phone with us. We had
to find things to do and entertain each other,”
added the reality show fan.
Nik laughingly denied any rumours of
relationships among his team mates, but ad-

mits there was a whole lot of drama during
the film. As expected, there were highs and
lows, as challenges eliminated contestants
and members got swapped – changing the
dynamics of the show.
Among the memorable (but trying)
moments he witnessed was when his team
had to sleep in the rain. The girls could cover
themselves in the shelter they made, but he
was too tall, ending up curling like a ball and
still getting wet. In that one moment, Nik was
only thinking about home.
Still, the 20 year old believes it was
an interesting experience and had his share
of lessons while participating in Kampung
Quest.
“I learnt that communicating with
people is important, to be never picky when
it comes to food and to survive, we have to
accommodate other people’s needs too,” he
added.
As the producers work on another game show based on obstacle courses,
Iskander and Feisal will continue focus on
Kampung Quest, a production close to their
hearts.
Hosted by Jeremy Teo of Red FM, the
second season ofKampung Quest looks to be
one that is darker and more thrilling. Here’s
one reality show to look forward to!
