Sunset jetty in Teluk Intan
Teluk Intan, where the "famous" leaning tower of Malaysia situated, that is where HUKM's med stud "berkampung" for a week or so...to get the taste of the real ,malaysia ministry of health,district hospital....
It is hmm...quite a "big" town, if I imaging Kajang back in 1993..the biggest shopping facility here is either the Billion, of Fajar Supermarket. KFC, Chicken KIng and the newest addition, the Pizza Hut are those fastfood restaurant that can be seen here, at least there is some touch of modernization and something familiar for "urban" medical student.
It was my second stays in Teluk Intan, last week. The first was during peds posting, and last week was for my medical. The hospital, is relatively "new" compare to Kajang, with the highest building, the wards, is 4-storeys high, with 3 well functioning, rather spacious lift(hate Kajang's small lift, which is slighlty maybe better than the lift in the "Dark water". Yet being a district hospital, in this town, the people here seem more hmm....friendly, even without they opening their mouth. Maybe i'm biased when i said that, but generally that is maybe ..and i said maybe ....true. The cases and the patients here were, hmm, the "normal" ones if i compare to the "oh-so-complicated" cases in HUKM.
Taman Melor, is where the houses situated, 4 terrace houses,rented by UKM for the students. This is the source of all those compliants from the students, too packed, too small, too hot, not suitable for study, etc etc etc. But, hmm, people never satisfied. Maybe, it is a bit hot, and a bit pack when the "peak" season come, but hey look at the brighter side, the administration is trying their best, they even provide the fridge and the TV for us. Hmm, but saying dat, i do agree about the "hotness". The house is about 3 minutes drive to Hospital. Pray hard guys, as UKM had bought 8 of those new houses located at the front, for us, hope, we can "merasmikannya"...
Among the best part of this town, is the ...hmm food, it is relatively cheap, and hmm...still have those "kampung water hand" in it..haha. Can you imagine, in that small canteen in that hospital every sigle morning, there are about hmm...40-50 kind of kuih and deserts, selling at 20cents per piece. The lunch, this is where u can still taste, the "real" cekur manis with keledek, kerabu pucuk paku with kelapa parut, and those simple ayam goreng kampung.
Yet, the last visit, revealed a new secret...it is not a "big" or a marvellous one, and not even a secret ...it is just a new discovery. The Sungai Perak jetty. It is actually just a small jetty beside Sungai Perak river where the small boats "parked" their stuff, and some small hmm...fishermans...selling prawns. Nothing much there, yet,for a guy like me, standing there on the jetty walking on planks of wood on a plastic silinder float, with sun was setting down, after that long tiring, confusing, clueless times in the Hospital,the walk was totally rewarding. As it was still merdeka month, the jalur gemilang flags attached at the wooden pillars, add a dramatic effect, to that event.
Maybe for Azwan, Zamri and Shimi, the big udang galah was the reason they were they, but for me, it was the jetty and the sunset. It was rewarding.
