loaded the stuff into the boat ( berat ooo the dental chair )
one hour boat ride ( lifejacket on! )
reached kg. sgai tiang ( ekh ade concrete building? )
astonished at the big setlement ( loads of huts )
unloaded the stuff ( rupe2 nye the concrete building was a tadika chum community hall )
set up stuff ( soo many dogs )
went to the school to get tables ( jumpe teachers posted there )
waited for MOH ( already getting hot )
got friendly with the kids ( bahasa n jahai tribe )
"soj"= makan! ( got the kids to smile finally! )
org. asli came at 12 sumthin ( with thier kain batiks and kids )
taught kids how to brush teeth ( evn i didn't know it was the right way )
k. lin taught a whole lot of kids ( me took pictures )
gave coupons for towels ( last time they got hygeine kits )
taught them to brush thier teeth and inroduced the pad ( all in the pocket! )
dr. ghu was busy with her dental work ( helped by k.nora n k. is )

had breakfast again ( this time again lambat )
took pics ( we girls know how to pose )
drove a storm back to kuala kangsar!! ( tkot but rase cm power!!! )
papa emmet sent me home ( to opahs house )
i learnt a lot of things while in Belum, the fact that the org. aslis can survive without technology ( xde line there ) and that they didn't cause any problems when we were there ( though some of them like have ' ignorance is bliss' stamped on thier foreheads. i realized that the women were more compliant then the men based by how many of them came. they are a special lot, i really think that evntho we should instill some education in them to improve thier standard of living ( they don't have proper sanitization and lice problems ) but they should still learn thier own culture before they forget it all together. it was an undoubtfully wonderful experience on a whole from nvr knowing that tasik temenggor existed ( i am not good in geography you see ) to getting to drive the Storm. i learnt that evntho i had past problems with k. lin that life moves on and friendships rekindle. i have found my calling and a lot to reflect upon but they are only in my friendster blog!!! peace.
