UNIMAS Bowling Team at SUKUM Melaka (July 2011)

It was my first time to represent UNIMAS in the Inter-University (Staff) bowling competition. Really happy to work with a group of nice teammates and learned a lot from them. For myself, i was not satisfied with my own performance and hope that i have another chance to represent UNIMAS in Kedah Inter-University game next year.

A Day With Faculty of Social Sciences - UNIMAS Orientation Week 2011

The good thing of working in University is we have the opportunity to see tons of new faces in every year compared to my previous private company where we only manage to see few new faces in a year...

The following photos were taken by Faizule on the 8th September 2011. 


Wishing good luck and all the best to all of them!!!

(Part 2) Research Trip to Kampung Orang Asli at Pos Senderut, Kuala Lipis, Pahang (6th - 14th August 2011)

There were many new things that i tried in the trip and one of that was standing behind a 4WD. The feeling was much more exciting than the simulation entertainment such as 'Motion Master' at Genting Highland. 


This is one of the Orang Asli houses that we pass by when we traveled from Kg. Kuala Senderut to Kg. Labu

Research Trip to Pos Senderut, Kuala Lipis, Pahang (6th - 14th August 2011)

This was our research trip to Pos Senderut in August and the main purpose was to identify and train the enumerators for the questionnaire survey. 

The overall living standard in Pos Senderut, Pahang is higher than Pos Gob, Kelantan as there are more infra here compared to Gob. There is a primary school in Kampung Kuala Senderut with more than 30 teachers. However, some issues occurred among students, parents and teachers which i'll elaborate in my e-bario conference paper later.   


On the way...

Research Trip to Pos Gob, Gua Musang, Kelantan, May 2011 (Part 1)

It was the first research trip by the academic staffs of Faculty of Social Sciences (UNIMAS) to go to Pos Gob, Gua Musang, Kelantan. Pos Gob is an Orang Asli village of Orang Temiar. The village has no electricity, water supply and phone signal. Therefore, electronic gadgets can not be used there if the battery can not stand for several days without charging. In brief, they are very very poor but very friendly and helpful, this is the main impression that i have from the trip. 
 
The journey from Gua Musang to Pos Gob (by logging road), should only take us around four and a half hours. However, we took around nine hours to arrive due to several obstacles along the journey which i'll be showing some photos in this post. 

At the KLIA, on the way to Kota Bharu Airport. I was with my iPad and it survives for about 6 days without charging, haha. 

The whole FSS team having lunch when were on our way to Kota Bharu to Gua Musang. The journey took us about 2 hours...

Things to bring into Pos Gob for survival...

The bridge collapsed. So we have to wait for about 2 hours for the logging company staffs to fix it... 

Some of our team members started to have a conversation with the orang asli in order to get a brief info of them while waiting for the bridge to be connected. 

Continue our journey...

The next challenge, the four-wheel drive was unable to go up from the slope due to the weather and dry tires that the driver used. 

So, we have to wait for another 2 hours for his friend to bring in the chain so that he can tie it on his rear tires. 

Continue our journey in the dark and arrived at Pos Gob at about 11.30pm... 

 The rest of the journey will be continue in the following post...
