You never realise how many talented people are in your midst, and you would
never know without events like Medic Week. A whole bunch of chao muggers, good only for
studying, turn into world-class actors, backstage crew, lorry drivers, set builders,
professional cooks and caterers, classy beggars and salesmen, atheletes and cyclists. All rose to the occasion, bringing forth their talents, working independently without coercion or need for reward. Truly, it was a great honour to be a small part of that effort. |

Medic Play - Tomb with a view

Medsoc didn't seem so big in my life then, but in retrospect it's grown to be
an avenue where learnt to work with so many people. Not just the Medsoc committee, but admin
people like Mona Lim and Agnes Lai, red tape organizations like the government, drug sales reps
and advertising people. All so... human.
Before Medsoc, committee work seemed so theoretical, so easy. But when time
came for me to put theory into practice, oh boy! Unexpected hurdles kept cropping up, problems you
never thought could happen did, while even the simplest, most elegant ideas were a bitch to
implementation. This, together
with my experiences in Hall Play Ticketing, was truly a baptism of fire in real on-the-ground
work. Still, under the pocket dynamo known as Jiahui (Ng Kar Hui) and Adrian Tan, it was an ambitious year which I would gladly do again if given a second chance. |
Masquerade - Spot the odd one out :P
Wet but happy waterskiiers
This sounds real sentimental and all, but year 2 came closest to all this "EQ", human
talent, networking crap the Government tries so hard (in vain) to drill into us
with Core Curriculum and Human Resources and whatnot. And all in an informal, voluntary fashion,
simply by staying a while in hall, joining the faculty club, and helping out in NUSSU. I can
honestly say that (although I had no inkling it would happen, much less have it as my aim)
that I learnt invaluable life skills and made lifelong friends in Year 2. You guys know who you
are.
