June PostMortem :)

So what's been happening in June since my first year of MBBS ended?

1. Smile Train Mission 13th-15th
   Accomplished! Please refer to the above links to read up on my journey:)
   
   
2. PPIM Medical Conference at Kuantan 18th - 20th
   Attended the 2nd IMAM SC Symposium & 12th Annual Scientific Meeting. It's a completely new experience for me- attending a medical conference, listening to health issues etc. I have to admit there were a few issues I could not exactly follow and was quite restless sitting through it. But there were extremely amazing topics as well.
   
   The best one (and the best talk I've heard of EVER) was about Vision for the Future and the doctor's role. This talk makes the whole conference worth it to attend. I cannot remember the name of the speaker, but he spoke about the world is undergoing just so much and the only way to solve it is through relief. There's a lot in what he said and he managed to convince me on my path of joining the medical field:)
   
   
3. MMU TMC AGM 25th
   I came back to Cyberjaya a week after finishing my first year because I had to settle things for the MMU TMC AGM. Searching for a successor as my role for VPE. I had a long long long and many discussion with James and quite a dilemma on who would assume my position.
   
   Anyway, my role as Vice President Education at MMU Toastmasters Club officially ended during the AGM and election of the next EXCO:) Congratulations on the new president, James Chow:) It comes as no surprise for me. Nevertheless, I am immensely proud of you. I am more than sure that you will lead the club to greater heights AND achieve the Presidential Distinguished Club status this term! The new VPE (ie my successor) Ridzuan, as of now I have absolutely no regrets of appointing you as the new VPE. You have done marvellous work. MMU TMC is not just any club to me, it's something I feel I've put all my heart and effort into for the past year to see it standing where it is now. It's in your hands now to ensure and maintain the quality; please take care of it:)
   
   
Installation of new exco '10/11: Ismail Omar (Immediate Past President), James Chow (President), supposedly Ridzuan (VPE) next in line but he's absent, Pink (VPM), Ariff (VPPR), Chee Pung (secretary), Shukri (treasurer), Bello (SAA). Make me proud, please:)


4. Ramadhan Fiesta banner painting 27th
   
It took a whole day. That's why it deserves a date on its own. The banner is humongous. But this isn't the design; it was completely changed when we painted it on the banner. CUCMS, get ready for it when Ramadhan begins:)

Thank you my classmates for coming along to help get it done. I am so so so thankful:D Special thanks to Syuk. Honestly, couldn't have done it without you; you make a great leader:)


5. July Intake Orientation 1st-4th July
   
   I was appointed to be Head of Facilitators for this July Intake's Orientation. I have to say this is one of the rare times I feel inadequate to hold a position. Normally, I'd be okay with holding a new post if I (a) have experience with it (b) know the job scope fully (c) have guidance on how to execute the tasks. Although I try to read up and do as much as I can when I am given a certain responsibility, I'm not so sure if I've done a really good job if I were to truthfully self-evaluate.
   
   We held a Training for Trainers two days prior to the Orientation. A day before the Orientation, we practiced the Amazing Race module around Street Mall. It was really great fun; and although it took a long time to settle, it was extremely worth it because the July Intake students said that the Amazing Race "rocks"!
7. 1. My role was most involved in the planning phase; so I don't think I did that much DURING the orientation itself. I had the great pleasure of receiving the previous orientation's modules. Thank you so much to the previous Head of Faci, Syuk, for compiling them. It makes my work so much easier having reference.
      
      Because of this, I've finally seen the importance of writing reports. How crucial paperwork is in this sense to make sure that the next OC does not have to start from scratch and can just read up the reports. We should learn from other people's mistakes instead of our own:) And because of this I have been determined to write a fully detailed and practical report to be handed to the next Head of Facilitators. Good luck!
      
      
      Raja Botol: All facilitators and students during the morning mental exercise.
      
      
      The Orientation overall received satisfactory remarks. Of course, there were things that needed improvement. A few glitches, mistakes here and there, but Alhamdulillah, nothing major:)
      
      
   2. 1. Guess who:)
         
         

Facilitators: Thank you Cah for joining Orientation and accompanying me throughout:) I am extremely grateful.

And that is June.

Hello July:)
