The second trip to
Satun was unlike the first one; I had become a veteran and thought I knew a lot
regarding a medical relief trip. I was caught by surprised when the local
mission told me that we would be doing medical check-up in school and villagers
apart from my main job of seeing patients. I was not prepared for that and I
hate doing medical check-up. No ground to object and I have to comply with the
job. With the instrument I brought it should be enough but yet, I need a vision
chart….Luckily, I had dug up a couple of the vision chart from their store and
downloaded a color blindness checking app from the net.
There were always
some problems in each stop for me to tackle; with grace, I was able to overcome
those problems.
The lodging was
better as the local mission office had rented a house and converted it into a
rest house for missioners. As usual, weather was bad; we were hit by downpour
from time to time. Food was nice as I enjoyed the local spicy Thai food. I had a chance of visiting an evening market and landed my hand on some local roadside snack. Those food look similar to some counter Malay food, but yet they tasted differently.
I was in a dilemma
during the end of the trip as I tried to figure out what is the plan of the
great one. It was beyond my wisdom to compile his will but yet, I tried my best
to please him. However, I knew it is not the right thing to do; I just need to
follow the flow.
I had decided
lately that I would sit still and not to participate in any mission this year.
I needed a break; to enjoy some fun time with my family or maybe hide myself in
the attic doing CQB and playing kungfu game….
