Month of May, the last month of my foundation programme. It's ending and I'm happy that it's ending. In this post, I'm gonna separate it into several topics and events.
Wilayah Perseketuan Regional First Aid and Home Nursing Competition
This competition gave me a great deal of experience to top off what I've already have, but the downside is that the competition structured is not really practical at most times and revamping is tough but not impossible. I've learnt teamwork rather than usually working on my own. Members of the organisation that I've known since 4 years ago and some that I've just knew not too long ago were present and its really a warming sight.
The results of the competition was shocking but it's good for now we know that the Cadet Divisions are striving to improve their standards. (Cadet Divisions are members from secondary school)
Paracord Bracelets
Recently I've developed a liking for wanting to weave bracelets, lanyards and other peripherals using paracord which is the cord use in parachutes. Quite a sturdy material. However, its sorta expensive and rare in Malaysia. There is a shop which sells 1 feet of paracord for RM4(i think). Another alternative that I found would be nylon cords like the white ones used by the scouts. However, I could not find any colours other than white but a thinner version of it is available in black which is the colour I want.
Urge to go for Survival Camping
People think I'm crazy to endure myself in rigorous activities that torture not only my mental strength but also my body. It's very fun, but at the end of the day I will still succumb to the warm and cozy bed at home. I am planning a trip with my buddies before each and one of us go our separate ways to various countries to pursue our studies. With this urge, I have just added a few more items to my extraordinary shopping list. Climbing Mt Kinabalu was a great challenge and I managed to pull through with a teeny tiny bit of a struggle.
Wesak Day
This year, Wesak Day is a bit different as compared to the previous Wesak Days. I went with my family to Maha Vihara temple around noon and met Melissa. It's funny how my juniors react to my plain clothed presence at the temple as they were doing their First Aid Duty in Full Uniform. After that we proceeded to have vegetarian br-unch at a vegetarian restaurant at Jalan Hang Lekiu and in the middle of the meal, I got a whack on my back by Melissa. Talk about coincidence! Later I went back to the temple before my night time duty for the floats procession. I met quite an amount of friends there and it made my day totally. I got some awesome shots too. I met Wei Gin, Xin Yi, Denise and my buddy Theng and several others at the temple.
At around seven, I was on foot duty to follow the procession from the temple in Brickfields to Central Market to Jalan Raja Chulan to Jalan Bukit Bintang to Pudu Raya back to Central Market and to the temple. a whopping 13km which is not of any difficulty at all. Not carrying much weight as it is only my first aid kit. My partner for the evening, Yee Ling from Kuen Cheng's No1 Nursing Cadet Division was trully entertaining for me and herself. I have to say I am not much of a chatter box during duties if any sort but this time, we had about a 3 hour conversation? Usually I'm paired with some one new or I don't know therefore less talking, though I don't really know her, I've seen her around during several events and duties.
Blue line is the 13km route.
Marketing Commercial
The one and only assignment I have been waiting for this whole semester. The class will be randomised in to groups of 4. I got a good group. This assignment got me pumped as I now have a reason to get inspired and make a commercial! Check out my previous post to watch it!.
Love Story meets Vida La Vida
There is so much hype about it on the internet that it sounds overrated, but the fact is that its a super good piece, a total work of art. Here's the video. Piano + Cello = Perfect match.
Project 365 on Hiatus
I haven't have the time these few weeks to do random photography and my artistic photo resevoir have been depleted. 300 more potential moments have yet to be captured. Stay tuned. The segment is scheduled to be back on May 27th.
Miley Cyrus - The Climb
This is quite a nice song. Slow, lazy flowing song. She might have carried the song badly in some spots, but its really not a bad song at all. I've discovered that there are 2 versions of the song. One is the common piano intro while the other is the guitar intro. Piano intro gives the listeners more feel to the song, building energy as the songg progresses. As for the guitar intro, it totally killed the potential upbringing energy in the song. If it was a story, it's definately anti-climatic.
Taylor Swift
She's young, hot and talented. She's a bomb so to speak or type. Anyway, her live performances ideas really kick ass! It's very creatively innovative. During the Country Music Awards, she had a wardrobe switch. Pretty cool. Now, her music video "you belong with me" is so nice but its so much of a fairy tale as some of her songs are. I think i'm in love. hahaha...
That's all from me. Signing out.
