Fourth Day in Sik

Today is our 4th day in Sik. We departed before dawn and return after dusk. We have spent more than 12hours in Sik today.

Our 1st class started with PPKP Jamil who taught us on Communicable Disease Control (CDC). He was so friendly and thus, we were having a very great time with Mr.Jamil discussing on some communicable disease in Sik. He showed us a graph of food poisoning cases on year 2008. We found out that the number of food poisoning cases will be increased every time there were school holidays, after Fasting Month of Muslim, during celebration day or fruit season (July-August).

After having an interesting discussion with Mr.Jamil, we were told to have an activity of disinfecting dead body of Muslim with HIV in Masjid Sik Dalam at 2.30pm. As usual, “sick” (Sik) group will have our group photo with health officer on each day. The following picture are “sick” people and Mr.Jamil.



Then, we went for our lunch in coffee shop that is just opposite to DHO. From the picture below, you all can see we are happily waiting for our lunch to be ready.



After the lunch, we went to waterfall in Rimba Taqwa which is also Pusat Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) as we still have 1 more hour to go to Masjid Sik Dalam.
According to our leader Niti, every group also showing their picture to waterfall, so we “sick” ppl also need to show that we have been to waterfall as well…..Haha… Sorry, leader…please don’t hit me tomorrow….


We can see that Niti is happily folding his pants. He was too excited when he saw the waterfall.







Group photo again!!~



To make our day more interesting, Momo has created a Photo Hunt for everyone!!~ Please look at the picture below and find out 4 items listed here:
(1) 2 shoes
(2) 1 sandals
(3) 1 sock

Another picture! Please guess who is this in the picture below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We left the waterfall at 2.15pm and we reached the masjid after 5 minutes. However, there was nobody in the Masjid at all. We cant find anyone from DHO, so we called back to DHO and asked Mr.Chin (PPKPK), he was then contact the person-in-charge(Mr.Sharunizam). We were soooo disappointed when we were being told that they have preponed the time of the activity and finished it following the morning session. According to Mr.Sharunizam, they were supposed to have a lunch break after a morning session and continue the activity at 2.30pm. However, due to some reasons, they were forced to finish the activity earlier. Mr.Chin felt so sorry to us, so he asked us to go back to DHO for a theory class on how they disinfect the dead body of a Muslim with HIV.

We reached the DHO at 3pm. Surprisingly, Mr.Sharunizam is a quite “funny” person who kept joking with us. He is from unit of HIV and PROSTAR programme. He started to introduc himself and talk about his wife and all his ex-girlfriend of 3 races!~ Then he told us about HIV cases in Sik and some stories of those interesting cases. As he was the one who conducting the Masjid event that we have missed just now, he asked us to go for tea-break as an apology to us.


Free meal again!~ We have had 3 free meals since the 1st day we came to Sik… So nice!
Niti,Momo and Ying ya were enjoying Curry Puff, kuih and tea/coffee.


Then we were back to Bilik Mesyuarat again to see the demonstration by Mr. Sharunizam on the disinfection process and how they wrap the dead body of Muslim with HIV. According to him, disinfection need to be done with 1 Litre of Clorox to 10 Litre of water which has to be pour all over the dead body including the unexposed part. Then the body will be wrapped with 3 layers of white clothes (with a plastic between the inner most and 2nd inner layer to prevent leakage of the Clorox).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.30pm : we see the preparation work of fogging. The fogging machine that is called as Agrofox.



There is a compartment that need to be filled with 1 Litre petrol (to generate the machine)

Another compartment that is filled with the fogging drug (4L Diesel with 200ml Malathion) in order to kill adult mosquitoes. For lava, we need to use Abate instead of Malathion.



We were divided into 2 teams for fogging activity. One team went to Kampung Charok Tuk Uban whereas my team went to Kampung Bendang Man.


6.00pm : we were on the way to Kampung Bendang Man.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.30pm : we reached Kampung Bendang Man.



Only within 10minutes, Yin Ying got a "kiss" from mosquitoes there. ^^



This is the case house of dengue.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were taking picture with one of the fogging team member who are fully equip with mask, goggles and ear protectors. They called themselves as "Teddy Bear" !~ So sweet~~



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our "Teddy Bear" start fogging in the dengue victim's house that i have shown above.



We started to come back to Sungai Petani at 7.45pm.

---------------------------------------------THE END---------------------------------------------
