a trip to the kampung!!!

sorry guys,i haven't been updating much...was busy with my exams after one another..and then i didnt have anything interesting to tell u guys!!hehehee..
but anyway, recently after the deepavali hols, we started our community med posting..that means we had to go stay in a kampung for a week n do a survey on them...our first thought was that AWW!!!!its goonnna suck!!!
but guess wat...
i did enjoy myself...

to tell u the truth, before going, my assumptions of a kampung were like this, no tv, no lights, no fans, toilets with no flush system or either outside the house.or u know the ones with half a door that doesnt cover ur top n bottom but only covers ur middle half??hahahha..that's how i imagined it all..i also tot that we had to sleep on the floor with no pillows and beds and stuff..so we came prepared with our pillows , blankets and other stuff....we also tot that we'd have to be on our best behaviour as this kampung ppl might not be as open minded as city ppl..i bet these thoguhts are probably wat u guys are thinking rihgt nw...ahhaha..

but guess wat!!! it wasnt' like tat...
well, on the day that we arrived, the children of the kampung with the adults welcomed us lavishly and made a big procession for us...wiht them hitting the kompang..very adorable and very touching..made us feel like we were some big shots..haha..


well, then they treated us to some kuih muih and not long after that, we were assigned to our individual mak and bapa angkats!! u see, when we stay in their house, we had to call them mak or abah like we're their own kids..so its really nice..

then, we went to our individual houses with some houses having 3-5 friends together..my mak angkat was a widow so 5 of us stayed with her..a little girl of abt 4 welcomed us into the hs and she was really adorable..whoever said that malays had to be brown is wrong..this girl is fairer than a fair chinese..here are some pics...she became my daughter instantly..kekeke..

well, my house had no ceiling fans at all but there was a small table fan in the hall and if u are in the dining room, u had to turn it to that side..but it wasnt; so bad as our room had another fan...
other frens' houses had no fans or lights at all in the rooms they were staying in..n the ibu bapa angkat were so kind that they slept without a fan and let them use it..probably they are used to it d... and there was a tv in the house..a very modern one in fact...anyway, if u think that we were gonnna get starved in the kampung, you're all wrong..

we were constantly fed from breakfast to lunch to tea to dinner to supper..my gosh..they kep feeding us as if they're so afraid that we would starve to death..


guess wat, some of the toilets had no lights but luckily mine had..haha..n there were no locks on the bathroom doors..u know wat the funny thing is?? the toiltets had locks but the bathrooms had no locks!!i mean, wat's the difference??n thom's toilet had no roof and since the bathroom had no lock, he kept jumping up and down while bathing hoping that no one would mistakenly open the door thinking there was no one in the toilet..haha...




we also learnt how to fish in the paddy fields!!!




mind u, leeches are everywhere!!!!lucky i didnt get any ...and if u're nt careful, u might fall into the water among the paddy..haha..just like wat happened to mark!!we also went fishing in the river and the water was really cold..brrr...to get to the river was like another jungle trekking session...would like to try it agn sometime..hehe..


since this wasnt the fruit season, so we werent so priviledged..however, they let us drink so many coconuts that i was so full....really..the coconuts are really sweet and juicy!!



on the last night, we held a little farewell dinner for them and some of the villagers performed as well...it was a very nice experience all in all..on the day that we left, all the villagers came out to send us away..it was all really sweet and our kak angkat even cried when we left..sigh..hehe..
so, kampung is not so bad aft all..the kids are all really young and some were really naughty but aft all ,they're just kids..they're all so naive and life over there is really stress free...u don feel burdened by anything at all...a nice place to relax in life..hehe..

newspaper made baskets!!!!

a trip to the kampung!!!

randomness

here's something to say when u're bored and yet u have tons of things piling up for u to read...

i haven't been writing in a while but since the last time i wrote in here
i've attended quite a few bday bashes..
y must everyone be born in sept?
i'm BROKE!!
neway, we had a conjoined bbq party for our close frens,
namely; zhau hong, thilagam and jason..

well,due to ZH'S fear of rats,
we decided to give him a surprise...
we bought an expandable rat...
expandable in the sense that when put in water for a few days,
it expands to 3 times its size...
AMAZING, huh??

well, here are some pics depicting the 'growth' of the rat..






ow i bet u wanna see his reaction towards the rat??
well,
here are some pics reflecting the reaction of zh...
not many though..most were videos..
the rat costs RM9 but the reaction that we got was PRICELESS...

rather sadly...

time passes by too quickly..

anyway, tat's all for today...need to go sleep..gt to drive back to sp in the morn..

hide and seek

hide and seek...don't we all miss the times when we were kids and used to play that game..
well, no matter whether i miss it or nt, i'm practically doing that everyday in the hosp..
ehhe..first of all, let me tell u the story of an EVIL, EVIL doc who enjoys making everyone ard her miserable.. i'd better nt say her name right here for she might discover the wonders of blogging and stumble upon my blog..*shudder**
anyway, we first met her in jan..n she looked like any decent doc or rather mother..or so we thought until she opened her jaws and said good morn..
then all hell broke loose..she asked us all to put on a mourning face and scolded me twice for smiling.. SMILING!! how can anyone not smile?? can anyone imagining me nt smiling??
NO!!NO!! its a catastrophe..
then we were all sitting in a circle and then a fren coughed..and she asked him.."are u sick"? and before my friend could answer, she continued in her evil, cackling voice "if u're sick get out from this ward, if u're nt, then don cough"...SILENCE!!!
if u were him, wat would u do?haha..
then she has officially labelled me as rubbish and has called me that for 3 times in a row..so I'M RUBBISH according to her..hehe..well this was the earlier torture that lasted for only 3 times in 3 weeks..

THE PRESENT:
nw, 7 months later, we met her once agn... and on the first day, we met her, she kicked me out of the ward...reasons are unknown to anyone but her..
well, back to the hide and seek part..we're currently doing our posting in the ward that she's in charge of..so whenever she comes into the ward to do her rounds, we have to play hide and seek.
if she goes to cubicle a, we run to cubicle c..cos if we get seen by her, we'd just be guinea pigs for her to vent her anger..and we cant walk in grps.!!her rules..hhaha...and we cant stand in the corridor doing ntg..
and whenever she comes, my heart rate goes faster than any rate that i tot is possible..sigh..everyday is hide and seek day...

so, if anyone misses the game, come join me..hehe..i definitely do not miss it!!!!
