Delayed Post: Health Promotion

This marks my 101 post.. weee~ sikitnya after so long buat blog ni! haih.. tapi takper.. 101 is also a milestone n worth to be celebrated.. weee~

So basically i've mentioned health promotion health promotion like freaking many times d.. basically wat we (my group) had to do was choose a kampung in kinabatangan, find out wat is endemic there, wat medical facilities there are, promote health to all the villagers, live their lifestyle etc. sounds ez enuf no? well if we were to do tat only i think we wud hv had a much funner time.. but the paperwork was killing us! final folio came up to about 120++ page after much editting.. hv to prepare graphs for all questionaires passed out, do statistical analysis, come out with hypothesis, methodology, results, discussion.. pening kepala jz thinkin abt it..

Okie la.. i think if i elaborate on nanti panjang panjang, sure u guys read until tertidur kang susah.. so let's roll the pics..
When we met up with reporters from Sabah before taking off to Kg Tongod
On our trip there, bus got stuck in the hole filled with water
Wat else to do but pull.. eh no i mean push the bus?
Tak budge oso.. comes the tractor to the rescue!!
All relieved, happy to continue on our journey to Kg Tongod
Basically our main transport around Kg is our vy own bus 11 (legs la tu!)
Pegi jauh2 sure la must lecture a lil..
Then we went house to house visit kat Kg Kiliwatong (part of Kg Tongod)
Journey to houses bukan senang.. Cross bridges cam ni only can sampai rumah
Or walk kat jalan macam ni baru sampai
Among the villagers i managed to interview.. i look so pale!!
Then interview with the Head of village a.k.a Ketua Kampung
Then we had activites with the villagers where i taught hand washing to the kids
Then saw tis cute lil baby.. must la tangkap gambar!
After a whole day of activity with villagers all so happy can rest.. finally
Walaupun however tired must jln the bukit-bukau jln back oso
We managed to do gotong-royong with asrama school kids oso.. spot me?
Lepas tu, had activity kat school.. sempat buat disco move pula.. opening ceremony
Lepas tu ajar them how to brush teeth without toothbrush.. lol.. Tak cukup toothbrush although i bought like 108..
It was bitter sweet to part with them.. cos all were super hyper active who come n grab u when u're giving away sweets.. (imagine feeding fish kat aquarium)
We also got quite close with people from the Klinik Tongod.. had medical checkup there oso
Lepas tu, when free free tu, gotong-royong the whole klinik la..After 2 whole week of hardship, celebrate lo!!Somemore sempat set up fire to BBQ.. Marshmallows were fantastic!!
Tapi tak tau kenapa, on the way back, tayar boleh pancit pula.. lol
Tat pics summarize my 2 weeks of health promotion at Kg Tongod.. Nampak ok je kan with all those modern brick building.. sure la cos i tapis gambar d.. i managed to survive 2 weeks without mirror, drinking white white colour water, bathing white white colour water, experiencing black out everyday, living with all kinds of insects and so on. But we were considered fortunate as we still had electricity supply, proper bed to sleep and even pipe water.. other groups slept on grounds, drank rain water, lived without electricity n fon line.. tu baru drastic kan??
Tat's all for my health promotion la.. banyak gambar lagi.. c la ada masa only upload kat fb la.. nowadays banyak gila with RC la.. restaurant city.. call me childish i don care.. it is fun!! boleh level up all.. lol.. okie la.. dah lambat.. got class tmr at 8 n now sudah hampir mau pukul 2.. nitey nite!! till the next post!! :)
