Green Race @ UBD

Few weeks ago on the 23rd April, the Earth Day Green Race was organised by students taking the GenNext breadth module - Environment, Society and Globalisation (ESG). The purpose of the event was to increase awareness among students and public members alike of the existence of Earth Day.

More than 50 undergraduates participated in the race.The participants were to move/run around the campus in order to complete different challenging tasks for example cycling, making paper butterflies, counting car parks at IHS, looking for clues in bottles, etc. There were 12 groups altogether, each having 4 members. Two of the groups were joined by IHS students.

Around 1.45 pm. Location: IHS building

Around 2.15 pm at the assembly point, the new ICTC building entrance

Our group's flower! One of the tasks was to find and choose a flower hidden somewhere and then paint the pot. Nice choice of flower guys! :)

We received goodie bags too! Each bag has a bottle, a rain coat and a flyer about Earth Day. We, as a group, received a $30 voucher from Best Eastern. The prices were sponsored by HSBC.

We had fun participating the event. Congrats to winners and kudos to the organizers for successfully organizing an awesome race! We hope for more awesome events soon!

Words of Appreciation from Cohort 2

Assalamu'alaikum all,

On behalf of Cohort 2 of BHSc/Medicine Course, I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for all the effort of everyone involved in the success of our Graduation Night including (but not limited to) the organising committee for all your hard work; staff members for your advice and help; performers, emcee and those on duty that night for your much appreciated work, etc. To all the guests who attended, thank you for coming and sharing the night with us. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

Our thanks and appreciation goes beyond that night itself; We've spent 3 wonderful years in IM and made many good friends, most of which I'm sure would last a lifetime. We would like to thank every single person in IM as everyone had made an impact towards our 3 years there; we would not be who we are today without you. To the clinicians who took their time off their busy schedule to teach us, our many thanks to you for enriching our experience both in IM and also out there in the Health Centres and RIPAS Hospital.

To our beloved seniors of Cohort 1, thank you for paving the way for us and helping us out whenever we needed it. You set the standard for us and we hope we didn't let that down. Last but not least, to our juniors: best of luck in your studies and know that we are around if you need help and advice for anything.

With much love and thanks,
Cohort 2 of Bachelor of Health Science / Medicine

World Kidney Day 2009

World Kidney Day was celebrated in Brunei last Sunday, 22nd March at the Health Promotion Centre in Berakas. The 3rd Year Students were invited to attend the event and it proved to be quite informative. Did you know that 1 in 10 person in Brunei has kidney problems? And that more than 75% of the kidney problems in Brunei is due to Diabetes or Hypertension?

An exhibition was set up showing the different types of kidnay problems and their management and there were also free screening tests for Creatinine and Blood Glucose levels. Many thanks to Dr Jackson Tan, co-chairperson of the event for inviting us.

YOUTH LEADERSHIP & ENTREPRENUERSHIP FORUM

Without a doubt, the contribution of all segments of the society is crucial for national development. Youths of Brunei should therefore seek to understand their roles and maximize their potential as contributors of any form of national progress. You might have heard this being said over and over again, but it can’t be said enough: youths are our country’s assets. As assets, we want to encourage you to realize your potentials by way of learning from the successes (and even failures!) of others. This two-day Forum is the perfect avenue for you to participate in activities that will hopefully spark that light in you to get going.

Whether you’re a student at school or at university; or whether you’ve just started work or are still waiting for that job call, we believe that this Forum can benefit you. You might even have started your own business or maybe you’ve worked for years. It is still always good to learn new things from other people’s experiences. During this Forum, you will have that opportunity to listen to talks given by our own national youth leaders and entrepreneurs. Just look at their profiles below and you’ll soon realize that these people could be you in a few years’ time! In addition to learning how they came to be where they are now, you will also have a chance to hear what they have to say about setting personal goals, keeping your eyes on the prize, and being your own leader by grabbing on to that entrepreneurial spirit. You’ll hear how our speakers have been able to take advantage of things around them or that has happened to them (like the Internet, unemployment, passion, and even disabilities) and transformed those as assets rather than liabilities. Here’s your chance to learn how you too can keep that motivation burning, make preparations for the future, and make changes to things that you may see as holding you down.

Being a leader to yourself is the place to start! So remember, when you attend this Forum, take the lead and do ask questions!
