A Little Of "Rasa Sayang" from Jelebu

   
Jelebu Hospita
Am currently posted in Jelebu Hospital with another 13 July 10 students. 4 boys and 10 girls. We are being sent to a small and less populated hospital with less than a 100 beds including female, male and Pediatric ward. For us, it is the first time we are placed in a district hospital. Not much procedures to do due to all major case will be sent to Seremban. It is very boring since we are use to the busy-ness of a city hospital.










Klawang Township




Jelebu is located 1 hour from Seremban city center. You can take a 1 hour bus fromSeremban Terminal to this small town. The only transport service provider is City Liner. You will find yourself pack in a Sardin Can as soon you get on it. The first stop you will reached Klawang and the bus will stop at Titi. These both stops are in Jelebu itself.










Moving to a small hospital had been a great challenge for us. Especially moving into a small less populated town where even buying vegetables are indeed very troublesome. What more to say finding yourself a HotSpot where you can sit down and load your Facebook. You don't even need to mention about KFC and McD. People here will be laughing when you ask them where is the nearest fast-food store. *Seriously am craving for it* Imagine the finger licking good feeling.....




Okay, back to business.


What people always say:


A smile warmed up a person's day. Especially when it is from the heart.


Working here had been a great and difficult task for us especially when what you learn and practice, everything is in English. Imagine you are placed in a Kampung where people only speak Bahasa Melayu and Hakka. Of course there are still Chinese who can speak Mandarin. Our communication skills drop from "STIHS" to SHITS. But we are all still trying to cope with it.


Learning to speak more fluent and proper Bahasa Melayu takes time. Am sure by the time we learn how to communicate with them well, we had finished our practical.


So what can we do?!




Just

Sincere Smile from 3 races


Smile when you greet them




From a simple "Selamat Pagi Nek" -Translation: Morning Granny until "Nek Saya Jalan Dulu"-Translation: Granny, I leave first . A simple greeting or a simple good-bye, can always makes someone feels so much appreciated. What more to say when you greet them with a smile from a sincere heart. It holds the key to open up a person's heart.




"Insya-Allah adanya dik untuk jaga saya" -Translation: Praise Allah there is you to take care of me.




When this kind words born from a patient's lips, you know you had open their hearts and acceptance towards you. No matter you are Malay, Chinese or Indian. You had already gain their trust.




No matter how hard is it for us to communicate. Sitting down chit chatting with the patient had been one of our duties daily. Trying to get them to communicate with us had not been a hard task. 
The joy of Lunch Break
You should see them laughing without their dentures on. THEY ARE REALLY CUTE!!!!!.Unlike patients who are staying in town. They are always open towards conversation and procedures that are preformed. They never complaint and judge. They are able to give their 100 % trust on you. After preformed. Sometime they are still in pain*example-branula insertion*, they will still say thank you.


I personally feels that I am really blessed by this small town so much. People here are so awesome. Do you?! My fellow mate?!
