1) The Kampung Angkat visit last Saturday
We went to an Orang Asli village called Kampung Tekir. We took measurements, and took developmental and diet history from the people there. I learnt to take a proper diet and paediatric history, as well as learn about the culture of the orang Asli people. I also got to go for a home visit. There were two babies, a girl and a boy. The baby girl was actually the baby boy's aunt! No kidding. But the children were so cute. And we got to sit on a tractor! It was such a fulfilling visit :)
2) Tun Dr. Mahathir comes to IMU!
Yes, no kidding. On Tuesday, my batchmates and I took 2 buses down to the Bukit Jalil campus, to attend a dialogue session between us students and our beloved ex-prime minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir. I can still recall clearly when our country was under his rule....our country became a very fast developing country. He was the one who introduced Vision 2020, he was the one who introduced the Multimedia Super Corridor, the PetronasTwin towers, the Sepang Circuit, the KL Tower, were all built during his time as the prime minister. And he was the one who put our country on the map of the world. Because of him, people from other countries know Malaysia.
And so yes, I actually got to see him and listen to him in person! What an experience :)
I didn't really get to talk to him though, because after the session, so many people crowded around him!
3) School Health visit
Today, me and my groupmates followed a group of HTJ nurses to a secondary school in the outskirts of Seremban. The nurses were to give the Form 3 students there Tetanus jabs.
Our jobs were to perform health checks for the students. It was a great experience, and the students reminded me of myself 10 years ago! And it seemed like yesterday when I was in Form 3....
