Day 3 Evening: Padang Terapians had gone for fogging



'40KM and you'll need to bring your own transport'!!!, said En.Ali barely within few seconds after we were told there's a fogging session later in the evening. We were excited and simultaneously feared the driving that has to be done. At about 5.00p.m, we gathered in front of DHO to set ourselves for the anticipated journey. 2 cars and 1 will, we followed the 4 wheel drives with logging spirit. Briefing was done earlier in the day after our BAKAS trip. We were told about various type of fogging machines and methods carried out. They also told us about the place that we'll soon discover to our excitement.

I have to say, they cruised at a scary pace. keeping up with them at one point seemed the most difficult task in our posting :) Lubok Merbau the place is and the serenity triumphed Kuala Nerang.

They started with the announcement of the fogging session and within minutes we were given a treat to actually witness the entire session. Focusing mainly in the potential breeding areas, I could say, well, they actually do not miss any place. Drains, pots, back lawn leftovers... you name it.. they've fogged. It looks like a gun and and what comes out is pure white smoke. They even fogged the interior of houses suspected with dengue case. Some had the chance to even use them. (THE GIRLS GOT THE CHANCE)

As the fogging was goin on.... KABOOM... sound that reminded of hmmm... ACCIDENT!! Every souls in the vicinity rushed to origin of the sound and found a guy and a bike on the ground.. OUCH... One of the guy in the Kementerain Kesihatan jeep accidentally opened the door and the guy in the bike hit the door and thus fell. But not to worry, the paramedic team were there to help ( it was us...hehehe). Almost to the end, the girls were all given a treat at the roof top of one of the jeep to hitch a hike around the area. Fun was shining in the girls eyes.

The day ended pretty much about 7.30p.m and the journey back was dreadful to think but was not as bad as it seemed. We all reached home safe and were craving for food. Had our dinner and headed to hit the bed. We were all tired but entirely satisfied.
