Final Year: PPD Camp 3

Before things get serious in hospital, we were sent off to Kem Bina Negara Ulu Sepri, Rembau for our 3rd and last Personal & Professional Development (PPD) Camp for all the Final Year medical students

We had the first one during Year 1 in Ulu Kenas, Perak

We were here in Ulu Sepri on our 2nd camp during Year 3

So, here we are again

No yellow man and Maxis line available here, only lucky Celcom users have full bar!

It was a bit different this camp, the first 3 days were under Biro Tatanegara (BTN)

They gave us talk about our country and introducing us the Perlembagaan Persekutuan with all the Perkara-perkara stated inside

We had morning and evening exercise everyday, divided into groups for small group discussion all about 'kenegaraan' topic

My watch matches with my set of baju kurung

During BTN camp small group discussion, I looked at my watch most of the time, waiting for break

We had no internet connection, no TV here

But, we have 6 MEALS per DAY!

 Our exercise area

Surrounded by trees and trees and trees!

And a river, we even need to cross a bridge to get to the Dewan Makan :)

On the left of this road, stretches of girls' dorms were here!

The guys' dorms were the other side of the camp

We have 146 girls and 89 guys

Yeap, my batch has 235 people

Hopefully all 235 of us will pass as doctors 9 months from now :)

 5A, this was where I slept for 5 nights :)

 Night view of my dorm

 Best friends - Xu Vin & Suganthini

That's my bed 

Blues - UKM's signature baju kurung colour :)

 Went over to 5B for some chat and laughter with friends

Left to right:

Wei Yeng, Yun Ting, Siew Im, Kah Yan, Me :)

Group photo session

My friend sempat lagi take our picture when the people-in-charge busy arranging the others for the session

After 3 days of BTN (finally), the next 3 days were conducted by Faculty of Medicine, UKM

PPD camp 3!

We were still in our group, but this time we were facilitated by HUKM doctors and specialists

So coolio of them to come into the jungle to join us despite loads of work back in HUKM

Oh yea, I'm in Group 8

 Group 8!

My group members and facilitator (in green shirt), Dr. Esa (an anesthesiologist)

This was taken on our last night in the camp

This was taken on Day 4 of the camp

We were given some time to come up with cheers and group flag

Lucky me, my groups had a bunch of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) people

You should see how they were so particular about the flag!

No one can interrupt then or take over their jobs!

Great job!

Day 5 -  Medical Explorace

That explains why we need to come up with cheers and flag!

They even give each group a big piece of cloths for identity

We were free to create anything from it to wear on us during the explorace

 My group weren't very OCD about this

So, we wore it like some pahlawan!

LOL XD

Crazy..

This group was the super creative one!

Look at them, so cool :)

There were 5 stations to run

We started from the furthest station, run run run

Lucky those jogging all these years help!

The first group who reach the finish line are not necessary the winner

It depends on our performances in each station conducted by our doctors

 I've no idea what we were doing that time

I think I'm clapping, but the timing is just so nice that turn me into praying

Yun Ting has the same pose with me at the back XD

 At our 5th station, waiting for our turn

Oh yeah, I forgot to intro my group's name

We called ourselves

"8vengers"

The number 8 in the flag was made of 12 orang lidi indicates the 12 of us

Triangle indicates people with triangle personality - with mission and vision (Taught by BTN)

Our camp commandent, Prof Dr Harlina were the one in the final checkpoint waiting for us

She made it like Amazing Race when she announced "You were the 3rd team to arrive"

Overall, we have 20 teams
The color of the identity cloths actually means something
Red, Blue, Yellow, Green
But I'm lazy to explain

A picture before closing ceremony with my pretty 8vengers member, Yun Ting

We were now separated into 5 groups with different posting, each posting 7 weeks

Professional exams will be next April

Time flies

We officially go back to the hospital to face the seriousness

No more ooh ahh-ing
