Biomedic Club The Gathering

Yesterday, The biomed club hosted a gathering of fellow coursemates and our dearest lecturers. Food was great and we had a lot of fun. :)

Netball Competition

18 March - It was a hot and sunny evening when the competition started, but that does not stop our coursemates from playing all out on our club netball competition. It is our first netball competition to be held, and everyone shown great support, especially to their own respective years and coursemates, despite mountains of assignments and the second test season.

The crowd went wild, supporting and cheering for their team. The team on the other hand, made their best efforts to win this competition. Lack of skills and short of sporting equipments have been our greatest disadvantage. We even had to use tables as our scoreboard. And unfortunately, players did get hurt due to improper sport shoes and protection guards.

However, despite our circumstances we still had fun and had a lot of screams. Maybe it is a great healthy way to de-stress ourselves. At the end of the competition, the winning champion was the team from third year students. Throughout the competition, they shown great gaming skills and teamwork. All in all, the competition was a lot of fun and truly a great learning experience. I hope that in future sporting events such as this would be continue, as participants would have lots to gain and be healthy at the same time.

Senamrobik

Lift your chin, stretch your arms and turn twist your legs.

25 February 2009 was our first senamrobik session. Nothing much to write about but it was truly an enjoyable exercising activity. The movement routine was great, the selection of music was awesome, but i can't say the same for your sound system. Some of us sweat a lot (like me), some never even break a sweat.

There will be more senamrobik session in future, so keep yourself updated.

Academic Talk 2009

For the first time in a long time, the Biomedicine Club of UPM had its first talk about what we would call it as, academic planning after degree. Being held on the 21 January 2009, this academic talk was our first club activity to kick off the year of 2009, and may well be the first student organized activity held in our faculty.

The academic talk was more than just informative chatting, but also sharing experiences from a lecturer's point of view. Dr. Latifah as advisory lecturer and speaker of the talk, shared her ups and downs in her studies during postgrad. She gave information regarding:
1. Important aspects to consider when choosing your postgraduate studies
2. Advantages of postgraduate studies in local or overseas university
3. Advice on how to be self sustainable during postgrad studies through financial aids and scholarships
4. Tips on how to market yourself during interview for scholarships and to prepare yourself for thesis presentation (VIVA)

What was shared and discussed during the talk is more than just awareness alone, but it gives us a sort of enlightenment to what our future might potentially be if we further our studies. Despite the fact that some of Dr. Latifah achievements are rather visionary and seem almost impossible for us, it is not wrong to have an ambitious dream.

Overall, this talk has achieve its primary objectives and participants have shown great response to such activities. It is our choice whether we choose to stay in our comfort zone, or make plans and take action to achieve greater heights in life.

Our upcoming event would be the Career Talk that will be held on the 27 February 2009.
