Walk the Talk

Holla! :)

I'm in the mood to make some changes to my blog and hence you can see the result again! :) Can you believe that it is December already? I don't remember if I have reached any of my new year resolutions which I have to admit that I have forgotten all about. But keeping up with traditions, it is time to think of new ones for year 2011 again, but that will only be revealed in another future post.

I decided to do some digging on some of my older posts and tadaa!! You can see what my main resolutions are this year here hehe. As you can see, I managed to achieve my resolution of getting a good job (Yay!) while my performance on the whole wanting-to-lose-weight resolution is pretty questionable hahaha. The thing is, I am pretty content with how I am although medically speaking I do have to lose some weight for my own future benefit. Something to think about on another day. Well, just to show that I am making some effort to "lose weight", I recently went hiking with some of my work colleagues at Tasek. It's a good bonding experience while exercising my stiff muscles which has been sleeping for months, yes, it is that bad! Hehe.

So have you achieved any of your resolutions this year?

Another Carnival

So I have been a busy busy gal lately, hehe. I was working on the morning shift for another health carnival that was held about 2 weeks ago at the Muara Health Centre. We were there to collect funds for any donations made by the public for our Health Welfare Aid Fund. There was free health screenings health inside the building in addition to pony rides, bouncers and healthy food stalls being held on the grounds of the health centre.

Workshop

Last Saturday, I attended a Psychiatric workshop in regards to children and adolescents at UBD's Chancellor Hall with my colleague Rashidah. It was a half day workshop and very informative especially for my line of work. Piccie taken using my handphone, so quality is a bit low, hehe.

Walkathon

This morning, I attended a walkathon organised by the Ministry's laboratory services at the Health Promotion Centre. We were also promoting our Health Welfare Aid fund at the same time. The event started with an aerobic session, followed by the walkathon, led by the minister.

Hiking at Shahbandar

Yesterday, I went hiking with my work colleagues at Bukit Shahbandar. It has been ages since I have last set foot at the popular hiking spot. Mariah, Ka Sari, Alyn, Ka Yati and myself went straight to Shahbandar from work. By the time we reached the place, there was already a lot of joggers and hikers around.

It was our first time going together and it was a lot of fun! I can feel how unfit I was haha, since my last jogging session was probably months ago. However, it feels really good to exert my muscles and at the same time, it's nice to get to know some of my colleagues much better. The weather was thankfully cooperating with us. We spent less than an hour there before heading back home. Below are some piccies! Oh and also I have also included a photo that was also taken the same day with Tan Sri Prof Kamal Hassan whom I have the pleasure to work with in the program that I am working on at work. All piccies were taken using my phone, hehe.

A Morning of CPR session

Yesterday morning, I attended a short CPR course with the program participants at work held at the Institute of Medicine. I was there to guide the participants and ensure that everything is going according to schedule. I have previously participated in a First Aid course in 2008 and got certified. There were also a few CPR workshops that I attended back in Brisbane as part of mbbs curriculum along with my batch back in 2008. It's great to have the opportunity to refresh my mind on how it is done, because let's face it, my technique is a bit rusty now, haha.

For the CPR course, we are following the St John Ambulance Action Plan basic life support technique. The most important thing to remember is the acronym, DR ABC, where D= Danger, R= Response, A= Airway, B= Breathing and C= Circulation in an emergency situation. It was a fun morning indeed! Below are some piccies taken using my phone, hehe.
