After braving through a 4-days ordeal with much relent, the Seminar Pendedahan Kursus Kesihatan Kebangsaan UKM has come to an end. Much efforts and migraine had been put in for some merits which was not actually desired upon, nevertheless brings a sense of satisfaction as the curtains were lowered, relieving the burden of 7 months. I must admit the students' lodging (Sekolah Menengah Sains Selangor) was the terrible and at its worst of all events ever seen, with the lack of water, power plug issues as well as the dilapidated basic amenities. Luckily I did not accept the offer to pursue my secondary years there in this boarding school. Even in our feedback forms, the rating for the lodging was 1/5, the least they could give, if not -5/5.
Being partially responsible for the flow of the programmes, I'm just glad that it is all over. The challenges in such an organization had always proved to be daunting, not because of the students, but of the superiors as well as the bother-not volunteers that kept pulling out at the last minute with all sorts of personal problesm, such unforeseen that they had only got to know about it right before any event that requires their help. And with a rather unorganized comiitee, it was a miracle that we scraped through all these and adapted to all sorts of challenges posed to us and to treat as it never happened.
Officiation ceremony
Setting up for the telematch.. :P
VICO drinks, all thanks to Sze Wern(left) for looking up for the sponsorship.
All thanks to my committee members who continued to do a great job even with my absence. :P
And to my dearie dear who was the planner. (I'm just the executioner)
All I could wish is that the students could really gain something out of this, enabling to expose them to the multidisciplinary aspects of the health field which does not comprise of only doctors and nurses or pharmacies, but to explore the possibilities of other careers unheard of, such as physiotherapist, speech therapists, occupational therapists, audiologist, optometrists, and even to careers in the gray area of understanding, such as dietitician and nutrition. At least, they should know that doctors/pharmacists are not just shopkeepers waiting for customers to sell rice.
At least, I am able to be involved in such events, though not the proudest moment, but it would one of the trails of my doings. Life, afterall, is not measured by the number of times our hearts beat, but the moments which set our hearts blazing in emotions to a halt.

congrats!! i took part in a similar program, 2 years back, in a secondary school in Kedah, which we gave a talk, forum, and group discussion on what the Medical field and health related sciences is all about.. it was organized under AMSA... we also had poster exhibitions and games.. it was surprising that, at that age, many students were already determined to be doctors!!
i think it's good to take part in such activities... i remembered, back in lower 6, a medical student from UM, Dominic, came to gave a short talk in my school, King George V High School, and i think he did influenced me, a little, on my decision of being here.. i remembered he was very passionate, and medicine seemed like the most interesting field on earth!! So, that's how i became stupid and end up here... haha!! (kidding)
anyway, i am glad to hear that the juniors are still actively involved in events other that the textbooks.. because really, there's so much more to learn, to gain, to grow.. and our life should never be just confined to the textbooks.. helping the kids at high school, is one of the few ways we can give back to the society while further shaping ourselves ^^
