Felda Raja Elias...

So basically...

i spent the whole of March - doing my selectives ( internal medicine in HUSM Kubang Kerian)
April was spent doing my electives which was "penternakan kambing Boer" New Zealand.. and also doing my umrah for an unknown period of time..

After returning from Umrah.. i was loafing around in Seremban kacau the people who were preparing for Sem 9 exams..

fast foward to April the 21st.. rahman had asked me whether i would be interested utk buat community project dekat2 area Kuala Pilah under the state health office punya team together with a few of us from IMU..
as at the time i didn't really have anything better to do.. so what the heck.. let's go..
little that i knew.. Felda Raja Elias.. shouldn't really be classed "around" Kuala Pilah.. it took around a 1 and a half hour drive to reach there...

when we reached Felda Raja Elias.. i found a signboard that stated.. the border of Pahang wasn't really that far away... cilakak.. punya la jauh..
tapi ikhlas kan niat *uhuk*claim*uhuk*

what a very loonggggggg journey... not to mention that we were lost..
see the imu van in the distance.. driven by abg asri..

the school.. my jawi is bad.. i think that is Sekolah Kebangsaan Serting..

didn't know that somalia and libya was that way.. ape lagi.. jomla..
for all i know it could just be pointing to the south pole..

seeing that this was around 5months ago.. i can't really recall anything much from the trip..
i just remember i was the one who had to take care of the Snellen Chart for the visual eye test
apparently the .. "nice" organizers were warning us before hand.. katanya they were expecting people in the thousands..
with all the ADUN nak datang le..
the fact that maybe it was just a few hundred people.. maybe tak sampai 200 pun..
and that we were the ones who had to force them to come for health screenings..

suprisingly.. ramai je org2 yg denial..
didn't want to believe that they were myopic...
and in the process i managed to screen one kid.. malay boy.. dalam 8-9 years old who was from one of the orphanages coming for the screening..
he had colour blindness..
SEVERE colour blindness.. if there is such a term..
he couldn't differentiate the colours when i was flipping through the Ishihara chart..

my task for the day..

beribu2 org le... we were bored...
rahman and natalia hard at work.. counselling people

they also had a few other associations doing their displays their..
i remember there were a few people from NADI i think(Diabetes association) and another from Thalassemia rasanya..

and then there was this one couple who were selling something.. they brought the thing for display.. we couldn't really believe what they were selling.. tahu le the FELDA people ramai OKB tapi this is too much.. hahaha.. this is what they were selling...

they were selling a SAUNA.. of all things...

and this are pictures of our way back.. went back at around after Zohor or maybe a bit later than that.. reach Tasek Mewah dekat2 nak masuk asar rasanya.. maybe we stopped to pray on the way back but i can't recall what happened. i just remembered that we were stuck in a jam in Kuala Pilah due to some road construction.. and that the 2 monkeys.. err friends.. were sleeping after just 5 minutes.. nasib rahman ada..

batu kikir pun ada seven eleven wa cakap lu..
batu kikir is a name of a place in between raja elias and kuala pilah..

quite.. hmmm developed?
i was bored waiting in the car.. tunggu rahman beli barang kat seven eleven..
took this picture.. don't know what they were selling..
