Suicide and Depression Awareness Campaign

March 24th, 2006 by Zoe

I woke up at 8.30am today (*claps**claps* That’s like ages I have not woke up that early) just to attend this Suicide and Depression Awareness Campaign at Taylor’s College. I don’t usually go for this kind of things, but I think I should really get more exposure for myself about things which related with the course I’m doing. So I decided to go. Picked up Kylie and Kerry. And went there to meet up Mae, Elle and Khai.

The cafeteria at this Taylor’s College (the ex-bali building) looked very happening eh… Not like Sunway’s one. And then I finally met Mae for the first time. She’s so cute and energetic! Like jumping here and there to welcome people and guide us to the auditorium. Elle uh.. Overslept or something and sms Kylie that she just woke up and asked us not to curse her. Too bad, already cursed. :P

Well, Malaysian is still Malaysian, they didn’t follow the schedule punctually and got sudden singing perfomance. =.=” Everything was okay except that this girl who sat beside me kept moving so much and the chairs are so rocky that we were actually got disturbed. I don’t know why she had to move so much. That irritated me a lot! And I don’t like that emcee too. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me who don’t like the way he talks.

Besides all that, I did learn something from all the symposiums, especially the counseling and clinical treatment by Dr. Ng Wai Sheng and mental illness (addiction) by Mr. Chris Sekar. By listening to what they talked and shared, I actually made a check on myself too. Well, not only if I have depression but more on if I know what they talking. As in, I know what they mean when they use those medical terms and treatments, and not being blur like ‘What?? What CBT?!’ So at least I know that I do listen in class and I do know what’s going on with my subjects. :D

After the 3 sessions of symposiums, it’s already 2pm and I had to run since I still have class at 3pm. Then the surprise came! RM5 for the parking ticket (they charge like subsequent hours and so)! What the hell…? Oh my! I think my college is still collecting RM2 per entry tho. If it’s still then the Sunway University College students should really feel grateful about it. I suddenly felt very stupid. Should park at the jockey parking because it costs only RM8 per entry. Compare that RM5 with RM8, I don’t see much difference since after you go in the basement carpark have to go down a few more floors only get to visitor parkings then you have to go round and search somemore. I think more than RM3 already gone for the petrol while you doing that.

Also, I just talked to my boyfriend on the phone and he told me that the students usually park outside.

*pprrrffftttt*

Nevermind la, next time I’ll be smarter! *pats myself* I’ll parked outside.

By the way the freebies are superb! Got bread and water somemore. So nice. Even my mom also shocked. Don’t have to pay anything to listen to the talks and somemore got so many freebies like the bread from the Bread Story, water from the Nesh, some voucher from The Body Shop, Domino’s, Melinda Looi and so on.

But uh… My running nose seems getting worse. Coughing seems to come back too. Not good not good! :(

    I’ve been lemming for their blushes - Dandelion, Georgia and Dallas for the longest time ever. these blushes (esp. Dandelion) are very highly raved. one box lasts forever as it is quite big. a tad expensive at US$26, but it’s worth every cent. i’ve read raves for their High Beam highlighter and Benetint liquid cheek colour as well (but i’m not going to get them… broke already! haha). let me know as soon as you can okie… as i’m afraid that the free shipping offer might expire :P but if you plan to buy more than $90, i suggest that you buy direct from the website lah! $90 is not hard to reach… i had to remove a few items from my basket, lest my boyfriend faints when he see my credit card bill. haha!
