So leave a message here if u are interested to become the station master. Look for Mr. KC for further information.
Thanks :)

Photo Shoot session for Magazine.

Hey guys,

We have arranged the photo-shoot session for our convo mag. We are having it early in the semester because we know some of us will be doing our research overseas and it would be hard to re-group again.

We have divided the class according to gender, meaning girls and boys, and within each group, the groups are further divided according to colours.

Details are as follows.

Guys

Date: 03/07/2010 ( The first Saturday after classes start)

Time: Will be informed during class.

Location: Bukit Jalil Park

Groups:

1. Black

2. Blue

3. Yellow

4. Red

Please assign 6 people to each group and finalise your groups with us on Monday( 28/06/10)

2. Pink

3. Purple

4. White

5. Orange

6. Light Blue

7. Grey

8. Red

Since there are 10 groups, 7 groups will have 8 members in them, while the remaining 3 groups will have 9 members in them.

Pls choose and finalise your own groups with us on Monday (28.06.10).

For those who will be going to Putrajaya, we will arrange transportation for you, and those going to KLCC will have to take the LRT. Locations will be randomly assigned to the groups.

Note for guys & girls

Each group will need a leader who will draw lots to decide which colour you will belong in.

Since we don’t have the timetable with us when we planned this, the dates have been fixed on Saturdays only. However once the time table is available and if we have a weekday free, we might change the date.

You are required to dress according to your group colour and you may synchronise the colours with ur group members after Monday( 28/06/10).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask us on Monday (28/06/10)

Thank you. =)

Elective in Taiwan

As suggested by David, I hereby trying very hard my very best to write a post regarding our elective in Taiwan. To no surprise please, you'll see a duplication of this post in my personal blog hehe.

Before I start writing, I shall clarify that as much as I would like to talk as a representative of five, I might still, at certain point, convey my personal point of view, which may not represent the others. (Alright, just kidding.)

Okay. So wasting no time. On the 6th of May, five of us, including myself, Chia Yan, Sor Leng, Ann Gie and  the thorn among the roses, Teck Long, flew over to Taiwan to begin our three-weeks elective, that was to be attached to Mackay Medical College, located in San-Jhih Township (三芝鄉), Taipei, Taiwan. As a brief introduction, Mackay Medical College was set up in year 2009. Hence currently, Mackay has only its first batch of students, comprising of 67 medical and nursing students. Yeah you heard it right. Only 67! Thus with no surprise, we were easily known by the entire school! =p However! This small number of students, along with the lecturers and staffs was more than enough to give us an amazing and inspiring experience in Mackay. In short, they were simply capable, outspoken, friendly, thoughtful, VERY hospitable and most importantly, they gave you the warmhearted feeling whenever you were with them. =)

School Compound:

Hostel

Hostel Room. Messy but very comfy!

As our purpose of such attachment was to learn as much as possible, particularly about their education system and learning culture, we tried to attend as much of their activities and lectures as possible. So as soon as on the second day upon arrival, we attended a CPR lesson together with the medical students. Each of us had the chance to practice CPR as well as first aid for choking on a human model. 

Starting from Monday the following week, we started attending proper lectures with the fellow students. Unlike us, they had fixed timetable every week, consisting of both compulsory and optional classes. In the two-weeks time, we attended various lectures, including Japanese and Chinese Language, Advanced Biology, Organic Chemistry, Basic Psychology, Human Development, Taiwan Medical History, Medicine and Cancer etc. Their education system was apparently more student-centered whereby for certain classes, different students were assigned to deliver lectures every week and for others, students were asked to do review of movies or case study followed by presentation in class. Whenever a question was asked or when an issue was raised, their students actively participated in the discussion and delivered their ideas in a very logical and presentable way.

In the meantime, we also had chance visiting several hospitals and universities. They included Mackay Memorial Hospital both in Dan Shui and Taipei, Changhua Christian Hospital, Aletheia University, Chung Yuan Christian University and National Yang Ming University. Besides, we also visited the Cord Blood Stem Foundation in National Yang Ming Chung Yuan Christian University. It was like real-time experience of what we had learnt from Biotech and CTT.

 Definitely, we wouldn't miss the chance to tour around Taiwan. After all, it was our first time (except for Chia Yan, which was her second time) visiting Taiwan. In Taipei itself, we visited lots of places, including Museum of Contemporary Art 当代艺术馆, Taipei 101, Night Markets (Shi Da 师大 . Shi Lin 士林 and Guang Zhou St. Tourist 广州街), Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall 中正纪念堂, Zhong Lie Ci 忠烈祠, Grand Hotel 圆山大饭店, Taipei Mucha Zoo 台北木栅动物园, Mao Kong 猫空， Miramar Entertainment Park 美丽华娱乐园, Yang Ming Shan 阳明山, National Palace Museum 国立故宫博物院 etc.

Other than Taipei, we also visited Jiu Fen 九份, Dan Shui 淡水, Zhang Hua 彰化 and Hua Lian 花莲. Save the descriptions, I'll let pictures tell the stories.

Hua Lian 花莲

Second day in Hua Lian, we went for a day trip with another group of familiar people. Haha. They wereKean Ping, Wei Ping, Wei Wen, KC, Wan Ling and Ling Wei. Honestly, it felt warm to meet up with "gaki-lang" in a foreign land. =p

Apart from tourist spots, visiting Taiwan was nothing if we didn't get to eat their food, which was of great varieties and was absolutely nice!

First of all, introducing our daily breakfast in Mackay. It could be things like sandwiches, burgers, kuih or spaghetti with a cup of drinks, usually tea or coffee.

A famous food in Dan Shui called Ah Gei 阿给

Beef Noodle. Btw, it was brinjal that Teck Long was holding. =p

Tea Leaves Fried Rice @ Mao Kong.

Oyster Vermicelli  or "Oh ah Mee Suah" @ Xi Men Ding

Barbecued meat. Superb nice!

Well. Those are pretty much the summary of the entire trip in Taiwan. One day before we left, we actually made a short farewell presentation for Mackay. Again, they were impressed by Teck Long's video-making skill. =D

For more information, you are always welcomed to visit our facebooks and have a look on Teck Long's video in facebook as well. Hehe.

Have a nice day! XD

Alegria Workcamp 2010

I am here to keep my promise.. :) Remember i have suggested previously that everyone of us share among B107 what we have done for our elective? So, i guess i should start first and hopefully everyone will keep the ball rolling..

The group of four, Kin Man, Kwong Howe, Boon Fong and me, went to Alegria, Cebu for a workcamp.. Together with a group of Singaporeans and Prof Valerio from NUS, we helped the Alegria elementary school to set up a perimeter, that is to fence up the school... Interesting thing is that the fence actually acts to prevent goats from entering the school compound, not thieves.. :) We carried logs up the slopes, dug holes, and planted the pillars there.. Seems easy but not really.. Carrying logs was easy stuff.. But we had to also carry cement pillars up the hill.. This kills.. seriously... But we managed to fence up the school compound during the camp..

Besides that, we had another tough task, FARMING... Weeding and ploughing the field were not that tough if not for the sun.. The sun drained all our energy.. Funny why they wanted us to work when the sun was out and rest when the sun set...

After this camp, most of the kids know how to say 'wo ai ni', thanks to us from IMU.. Of course they learnt other mandarin words and phrases too.. They were so enthu in learning mandarin that they even used their handphones to take down notes.. Happy to see that they pick up mandarin fast.. Because we have great chinese teacher, mr loo and mr eng, not to mention what kind of words they taught them.. lol...

Anyway, the workcamp was only part of our trip there.. We had more excitement apart from that.. :P We went to lots of places in cebu and bohol islands.. The best thing there was the beaches... They were awesome.. Had uploaded some photos of our trip to the Philippines in my facebook.. Photos describe better.. :)

A brief account on what we had for our elective.. Hope you guys out there share with us too.. :)
