We are scheduled to gather at Miss Jo's house at 6:30 in the morning to load all of the stuffs into the Hilux and 4x4 transportation because the condition of the road to Pos Yum was not suitable for a normal car. Then, all of us continued our journey to the rendezvous located at the Bawung mosque which was near to Pos Yum. I was feeling very excited of this expedition.
Once we arrived at Bawung mosque, we were waited by Cik Yati, the one that cooked for us for the feast of Orang Asli, and 2 Tenaga Nasional Berhad Hilux. We quickly loaded the food into one of the TNB Hilux without noticing that the back-left tire of the Hilux was flat. Nevertheless, luckily there was a villager that wanted to help us carried all the food to Pos Yum by using his transportation and i'm not forget to mention that there was also Ustaz Ismail from Jabatan Agama Negeri Perak that followed us and helped us a lot during the expedition.
Then we begin to make our way to Pos Yum. At the moment we arrived at there, Tok Batin was the one that greeted us and give us a sort of initial briefing about our accommodation. We were amazed we we saw the traditional shed that was made from leaves, woods and bamboos. We were asked to stay at kindergarten for the girls and surau for the boys. But before that, we distributed the lunch to each houses and the Orang Asli was very friendly toward us especially Abang Salem, the one that gave us a lot help and knowledge about their cultures and tradition.
After zohor prayed, all of us went to create a massive word that was written 'Pos Yum' on the hillside of Pos yum and we we told that it was made to make it easier for the helicopter to identify Pos Yum to send essentials since they were quite far from town. On the first day, we only able to make it until 'Pos Yu' and we decided to resume it on the next day as there was not enough stones.
During the night, the rain was heavy and we needed to hold our karaoke event until it stopped. A few minutes after the rain had stopped, we gathered the villagers and since their village was not provided with electricity but only a broken solar panel, we had brought our own generator to power up the bulbs and the sound system. Miss Jo, Syakir and I were the judges for that night. Surprisingly, they had such a good talent of singing and dancing including the kids and i was amazed with them. we gave hampers for the winners and we were so happy because everything was over our expectations even though we were super exhausted that night.
