KAP Kg Tekir 2008

.

another community service was accomplished! :)

again it was held at Kg Tekir, Labu, N9.. an Orang Asli community area... it was IMU 4th visit to Kg Tekir for this year... and it was my 2nd visit to that community. it happened that this time round, the IMU wanted to do a so-called 'closing ceremony' for the year of 2008... so the event was 'a bit' grand la compared to the normal visit... :D ~so this time, adalah 'LABU ekspress' :D ~

we didnt do house to house visit this time, but all of us stayed at balai raya and the kindergarten doing the health screening there... i was being 'tortured' as i had to do the vision testing ALONE.. since KY said he wanted sem 8 or 9 students, who had done ophthalmology posting to handle the station... errr... (i guess every medical student knows how to do it.. tak ke???) but ok la.. w/o making any noise, i accepted the responsibility given.. :D

it may sound simple but the fact that i was ALONE, it made me look like a non-stop hardworking robot! ahaqs... bring the villagers to where they supposed to stand, explained to them, then walked back to the chart, coz definitely i couldnt test their visual acuity without showing those alphabets on the charts... and later i tested the color vision test using the ishihara chart... and i did the same things again and again, and it was like a viscious cycle.. for a villager, i'd walk back and forth for about 12 metres... so darab la dgn ntah brp byk villagers i attended (owh... azi jadi sungguh sihat! xyah exercise for 1 week.. ahahaha.. as if i go for exercising nowadays.. =p) sometimes, Muhshin and sofea would come and help me with the ishihara chart la... alhamdulilah...

but wut made it worse, the station b4 my station (which was the RBS station) had 2 persons in charged (or more???), thus, they would definitely send me 2 villagers (almost) at the same time... simple maths, 2 came, but only 1 done, and while i was trying to finish up the 2nd person, 2 more came.. when i tested the 3rd person, 2 more came,and now making those waiting became 3 and the number of persons waited grew in a split of second! (ouhh.. sorry, exaggerating sket =p) but seriously, we started 'working' at around 1040am, and about 12 sumthing (i dunno coz i didnt have time to even look at my own watch..~ini betul, xde nk exaggerate) other students at other stations had cleared up their stations and went for lunch, while i was still struggling trying to clear up my station... bile i looked at my watched, it was already 110pm... that time barula i realised, patutla everyone's missing... they all went for lunch rupanya.. but okla.. maybe penat, but it was sumthing good that i can do to the community... and ia adalah satu perkara kebaikan yg disukai Allah SWT.. (",)

i did complain a bit to KY; i told him, he or whoever in-charged next time shouldnt put only 1 person for ophthalmo station... and yes, he understood! :) and he did tell me we couldnt do much, as only a few sem 8 & 9 students joined the KAP (kg angkat project) and overall pun, mmg we lacked of students... ok, me too... understood that.. :D

hurmmm... enough said bout my day at Kg Tekir.. overall, and i enjoyed it very much!!! i didnt take many pics bcoz of i was 'too khusyuk' ngan snellen chart tuh.. ahaqs.. for a-z pics, i think i have to get it from Gabriel later (our student affairs executive).. ~hopefully i'll get it~ but here are some of the pics that i have.... k, enjoy it!

the students were busy transferring the stuffs from bus to Labu Ekspress at the pickup point.. :D

we have to go through this tunnel first b4 we reached kg Tekir... nmpk x seakan2 jalan kat atas tuh? itulah PLUS highway... above our head, and a 10-20 metres to our left would be the susur masuk ke R&R Seremban... :)

hurmm... as i said, i dun have any pics between 10am-lunch hour... i only had chance to cont taking pics after my lunch.. =P anyway, thanx to all villagers yg bersusah payah sediakan tea break and lunch for us! TQ! (^_^)

after lunch event... Ali Tayyib was the emcee.. =) before that, he was the speaker for the health talks... (ok, i dont even know how the talk was... i seriously had no time to peep at other events.. =(... see Mr Ali, luckily i rejected the offer to be one of the speakers.. :D ~actually at the first place, i rejected it bcoz i know that i'm not a good public speaker... obviously i'm not good at talking!!!!)

azi and iefa... mujur ada iefa yg ikut sekali... :) xdela saya 'kesorangan'... but the fact is i didnt see ifa at all after our tea time hinggalah lunch hour... i was in balai raya and iefa was with the kids at the kindergarten... she was in-charged to bagi ubat kat kanak2 katanya.. :)

soon-to-be doctor was being examined by our future doctor! :) insyaALLAH... well, in the next 30-40 years, we'll rely on this kid's generation to treat us once we are old enough to be labelled as 'geriatric patients' ahaqs...

nih masa kami dah nak blk... saje la bergambar ngan 'Labu express' yg bawa kami sume masuk ke kg tekir nih... fiqah, adakah anda kenal wanita yg bersamaku and iefa nih??? *wink*

nih bila dah smp blk ke pickup point.. it was about to rain that time... seb baik it didnt rain earlier alhamdulillah... so we managed to pass tru the tunnel dgn selamatnya... :) kalau dipenuhi air tunnel tuh b4 we all balik, i seriously dunno wuts gonna happen to us... huhuhuhu... btw, iefa and i saje je lah nk bergambar ngan 'Labu express' nih, while waiting for the bus..

anyway, b4 that, Dr JK said to me, ~which during at that time Ali was on this tractor, taking pic~ "if u dont pass ur sem 10 exam, u know wut's going to happen to u" i was like "huh???" "r u going to publish the pic on ur blog, Dr??? and say sumthing bout the student???" but of cos i didnt articulate this... it was only in my mind... and maybe Dr JK saw my puzzled face, so he answered himself.... "u can be the tractor driver..." and he smiled... and i smiled too.. relieved.. at least he didnt mean wut i thought earlier...ahaha...(itula azi, pikir bukan2...)

so kitorg blk... and kitorg singgah di kedai Chendol di Seremban Town... a treat by IMU... :D most of us thought wut gabriel said earlier (that we gonna have cendol and rojak in srmbn) was only a joke... but i thought it was true... and mmg true pun.. :D hurmm... hujan2 makan cendol??? well, ramai makan, but i chose not to have it.. :) wpun this kedai mmg famous with the cendol... nway, ini gambar ms baru smp kedai.. so no cendol or rojak were served.. (yet)

so it was the end of our event... tiring but fun! again, its the experience that i treasured most... :) when u r working, u will never know whether u still have time to do this type of services... => during my Emergency posting debriefing session yesterday, the A&E specialist asked us, why do u want to be a doctor??? all of us answered - to serve the community, to help people and ayat2 yg seangkatan dgnnya... and yes, if u have this kind of answer, i think u should start thinking to get urself involved in this type of services... it would be best if u train urself from now... if u never thought (i really mean NEVER THOUGHT.. as maybe some of medical students, they have thought bout it, but the reachable home-sweet-home attract them more, or books/exams restrict them from going or maybe due to some other reasons... i dunno.. but at least, they have the INTENTION...) of joining services like this, maybe ur objective of becoming a doctor is sumthing else... so better dont lie when people ask u why u wanna be a doctor! -ok, this is only my own thoughts, no offense yeah, readers- :D

one of kebesaran ALLAH SWT yg dapat diperhatikan di Kg Tekir... :D Subhanallah!

ok, need to rest! another tiring day esok!!! SUKAN WANITA ISMA seremban 2008 menanti.. :)
