Paitan

I made the best decision in months by volunteering to go for a relief mission in Paitan, some 6hours journey from KK last Friday.

Not only I got the change of environment that I strived for initially, but I also felt so alive after months of what I would describe as aimlessness and mundanity after I started working.

There's more to life than waking up early and just working brainlessly. Yeah, there's more to life than being a houseman.

Enjoy the pictures and wish me luck. I'm oncall in Neonatal ICU tomorrow. So freaking scared. All those reptilian-like babies.

Thanks for showing us Paitan (first time I'd ever heard of this place ...) and I'm certain that the volunteer work is greatly appreciated by the ppl there.

BTW I love the last photo of the hanging display of stuffs!

Those hanging stuff are like the ones in Lundu! U know, near Sungai Batang Kayan, where there were all these stalls selling keropok, kuih sepit, kacang and whatnot. Business was great there, before the Sg Kayan bridge was completed. Nowadays ppl hardly stop there.
