Elective Posting...

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

Assalamualaikum n elo...

like i promised before, i will post about the elective posting that i've done with my friends during the early week of this semester break...
yeah...we still have things to be learn during the holiday...

elective posting...
from what i understand, this is a must do task by the medical student during their semester break, whether in 3rd year (if no repeat posting or just one posting) or in 4th year...
basically, the things that we have to do is choose any humanitarian activity, a non-medical field, make a proposal, then do the activity for 2-4 weeks...

as for us (four of us) chose Turtle Sanctuary in Rantau Abang, Terengganu...
reaching there, we learned the exact name of the place - Turtle Information Center, Rantau Abang, Terengganu...

.: the TIC :.

just a small place but this place really need lots of attention as it's has the importance in giving information to the public about turtle and other marine life...
it consist of gallery, small museum, some turtles and 'tuntung' there.. (sorry i don't know it's name in English...)

the main objective that we want to do the elective posting here is to learn about the turtles & what are the measurements being taken to ensure that this endangered species not extinct...
a bit excited actually because never seen a real turtle before....
and we also been given the chances to follow the officers to check the fishermen's boat & the rangers to do the night patrol at the beach...
we get more than we expected from this elective posting...

and so many people we met...trying to adapt with the people is another challenge...
since that we all girls that joined the activities that being done majority by men, we being treated pretty...well there...hehehee...
how well??? the fishermen were too worried when we decided to follow the officers checking the boats..."bak pe orang puan naik bot?" [why you ladies want to get on this boat?] and "mabuk dok?" [feeling nauseous?] are the frequent questions being asked while we at the jetty...
as for the rangers, our presence there were like a new friends for them to be chatted while patrolling the beach...

i just use my handphone camera to take the pictures while in Terengganu...
eventhough it's only 3.2 megapixel, but i'm proud with it's performance~
