Sabah trip - Day 4

Day 4

As usual, woke up at 6am. We had breakfast buffet at the hotel, unlike the last two days where the breakfast are prepared by the organising committees, packed in plastic containers and sent to our rooms one-by-one. After breakfast, we were divided into two groups again, this time Group 3 with Group 4. We were to go to this village (err...forgot what's the village's name already =p) while the other two groups go to another village. We were to do health promotion and also to do health education to the villagers staying in the more rural areas with low sense of health knowledge. We were to do blood pressure measurement, BMI measurement and visual acuity. Besides that, is to present our posters for them to look at while explaining to them. This is all very fun, especially when you get to mix around with the cute villagers. =) Luckily I always have my Malay language handy so its not much of a problem for me. Even the makciks and pakciks love me. Lols. Quite good response from the villagers although we've expected better. But then, better than nothing. And again, gained lots of experience and certainly more confidence in measuring blood pressures though tired and sweating like hell. Just try doing all those tests (except blood pressure) under the hot sun.

We headed back to the UMS health centre again for lunch. Last time we would be there and also last time in Kudat before heading back to Kota Kinabalu again. Before we head back to KK, we went to the site - the tip of Borneo. The scenery there is already breathtaking. Everybody's first expression is just -- "Wowwwww....." Snap, snap, snap..pictures here and there....everyone even ignored the sign "Do Not Cross Beyond This". Anyone cares? No one. Lols. Everyone just climbed down the sandy cliff to reach to the sands and seawater below. More breathtaking sights. Even the sea there is extremely clear where you can almost see the seabed. Just lovely! =)

Again 2 and a half hours of journey back to Kota Kinabalu where this time we're staying at Tang Dynasty Park Hotel. Same roommates as the ones we had in Kudat. Oh well. I'm not complaining. Anyway, we were only given a short time as we arrived late at the hotel while there's the Cultural Night + Closing Ceremony at 9pm. We arrived at 7.50pm and they expect us to be prepared by 8.30pm. Anyway, the night was a success with all those performances by representatives of other universities (except ours, just don't ask me why we're not involved in all the presentations and performances).

Slept at 1am. Have to wake up at 4am the next day. @_@
