Assalamualaikum and hye.
Sollu alan nabi :)
First of all I must thank Hani for pushing me to write this. Are you reading Hani? Thanks, if not for you this blog will be left alone for a very long time. Or even forever. Actually I have been writing many things but I kept saving them in my draft and not checking them onward. So here I am with my boring talks but I hope you enjoy part of it and learn something which is why I write this so someone can benefit from it if not memang sia-sialah my night ;(
This is about me, my MRA family and orang asli again. But this time I really enjoyed my days in forest because there is huge Tasik Banding. It's tasik guysss..Waterrr. #LittleThingILove
This time around, it was a collaboration program between UiTM and MRA Perak. And MRA Penang lah since K.Faz and his brother was tagging along. hehe. Btw K.Faz has taken K.Ida's role in finding me my spouse. Seriously I felt very old since everyone was so concern about it. Why they cared so much about my spouse wherebouts only after second meeting :'D This is good kan since I don't have to pening kepala searching for Mr. Right who is still on the left. Haha. Anyway I only care less on this matter since I'm still jobless unstable woman (hmm sounds like a husband rather than a wife to be). Come on, let's get back to our main story.
11th-13th May was my second time in Royal Belum. Before you ask, it is located in Gerik about 45 minutes away from the town. My place lah tu. I had gone there during my matriculation studies under PPL (Program Pendidikan Luar) but I don't remember which village exactly I went to because I only pay my attention to abseiling and water confidence activity. Now I'm old, I take note on many things plus this time I went for volunteering so cannot be so ignorant and berfoya-foya je lebih. There is in reality so many villages in Royal Belum although some groups of orang asli still living like a nomad. We went to Kampung Sungai Kejar on second day. Our first day completely spent on the houseboat. This houseboat much better then the one from 10 years ago. It was brand new and innovative while I became old and wrinkly ;D. So all the activities were done on second day. Here is the list of activities that we did:
- Population survey
- Health screening (but got rejected all the time so let's just cancel this haha)
- Batik painting
-Teaching orang asli children
- Sukaneka
-Takraw match
-Chak rayak (?)
Population survey was done by MRA group. It was simple but not easy job. I believe I need more times and experiences to do it better. They said I looked so stressful doing the job. It must be because of my familial constipated eyebrow. People always get confused from it *sigh*. But since I got at least the chance to do it for the first time, I'm so happy, grateful for every single person who guided me and here I am ready for next task. Yeahh level up confidence!
The rest of the activities done by UiTM students after dividing among them into smaller group. I managed to try 'mencanting batik' also for the first time. Yeayy. I wish that I can tell you the procedure and steps because the professional person told me in detail but I forgot all the scientific they used in making the batik. Wait wait, I remember there was dama and candle. Boil these two together until they become liquid and make any pattern at your liking using this sticky liquid and wait until dry. Then, remove the dried liquid using here-is-the-scientific-I-mentioned and you can color the pattern that formed on the cloth. Anything missing teacher? Please correct me. Thanks.
After all the energy drained, we had lunch with the local or they call it chak rayak in their language. Ustaz Buhari and Pak Mud was the master chef in charge. Saying about Pak Mud, his smell reminded me of my late paternal grandfather Ya Allah the very exact same smell. I miss tok :(
In the evening, it's timeee. We went into the waterrr. After letting ourselves drifted by the slow river stream while making a not-so-circle, some of us went to rafting. Also my first time, hence the excitement and did not realize I left Hani alone far behind me in the water. She did not inform me she had hydrophobic ;P It was not intended okay as I swam fast to catch the second rakit for us actually. In the end, we had to swim a longer distance since I had to take Hani and the guys did not wait for us. Screw them. Okay la okay la thanks to one of them extended out the bamboo for me and thanks to them for allowing me on their raft which became very unbalanced after that. Haa sorry.
When the night came, after all the daily business, me and Hani went for star gazing after arguing on whether the stars will appear or not. It was so cloudy during the day, so I expected not much star will show on the sky but turned out they lightened up the darkness of the jungle in the middle of the large lake. eh sorry ya, this star gazing happened on the first night, not second. However both night pun I slept snoring because my body exhausted like doing all the jobs alone. Shame on you fatty body.
Third day was our return to home but 7 of us went to Kampung Sungai Tiang to look for suitable place for solar power plant. A future project for orang asli village. It is costly so why not invest for your akhirah? You will be blessed and thanks in advance.
On the other note, UiTM students really reminded this old lady to her good days in university. I was eager to learn many things and I involved myself in everything possible except politic. Haks. University life was a transition period for me from Fathimah who only thinks about people but works for herself to Fathimah who thinks about others and does something for them. May Allah accept. And because I put myself among these kind of people, I realized I still deficient in many aspects.
That is all. Thank you for reading this and I'm serious about your investment in MRA. Inshaallah it will become a sadaqah jariah that last until the day of Resurrection.
Oh yeah, Happy Ramadan everyone. It's coming in two days. Are you excited??
Till next post!
P/s: for picture, go check my instagram @imahrosse because I'm to lazy to do same job twice (Alasan. I'm going to sleep)
P/ss: Your investment ;P
