GREAT OUTDOORS. UNIQUE WORKSHOP. SWEET MEMORIES.

.

I've been composing this entry since 6 days ago. Masa sungguh mencemburui daku tau. I tried to stay up after the boys sleeping but after one paragraph, i knocked my head on my laptop.

Now i write again. Oman tengah asyik dengan Si Upin Ipin tu ha. Peluang nih! :)

This kind of diary entry is about my participation as an invited guest to "Create Memories with Mum" event organized by Her World Magazine in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceutical (GSK) for MMA (Malaysian Medical Association) HPV Vaccination Programme for Teens which was held in Janda Baik, Pahang.

Layan!

Bagun Pagi, gosok gigi, cuci muka, terus mandi.

Tapi tak sebenarnya.
Bangun-bangun aje i pergi try baju. Serius rasa dah lama sungguh tak pakai T-shirt nak gi outing. :P Kot-kotla tak muat, terpaksa pulak amik masa untuk cari baju lain kan.

7.05 am
********
I drove Mdm Nabira to pick Nadia and Nadine at Nadia's house. Then the three of us headed to Blu Inc Media Office in Petaling Jaya. Nadine as the co-pilot did a very good job showing the right way supaya we all tak sesat barat. Syukur.

7.45 am
********
The first person i saw after i parked my car was Kak Ina. It was really nice to meet her again since Neutrogena's Event. I'm sure Kak Ina pun seronok jumpa I semula (Kan kak Ina, kan?). *kelip-kelip mata*. Tak lama lepas tu, more arrival of the bloggers & participants. Bermulalah adegan berkenalan sesama bloggers & amik-amik gambo. Teheeeeeeee.

The bus finally arrived. The feeling was exactly like going for a school trip to Tugu Negara... Contohnya :). I was seated next to a very sweet secondary school girl, Sharifah. She joined this programs with all her sisters coming along. So nice and adventurous of them.

Excited weh! :)

Sharifah is such a sweet girl.
She's 14 and I am doubled +2 her age. T_T

Cik kak berdua ni all the way bersembang dalam bas. hihi.

9.50am
********
Approaching Janda Baik. Even though the road after highway was little bit challenging dengan jalan yang x berapa nak luas and berbukit-bukit, I really love the tranquility of this place. Sejuk je mata memandang. Memang Allah nak bagi supaya kami lebih menikmati keindahan alam, the bus dropped us quite a way from Aman Rimba Resort , that required us to walk beramai-ramai. Almost 10 minutes walking, we were accompanied by endless natural tropical beauty and beautiful river stream sound. Indah!

lenggang mak limah

Beautiful!!

Udah sampey.

********
Upacara breakfast. Enough said. Everybody were hungry so kami makan dengan bersungguh-sungguh.

The program started with the welcoming speech and briefing from the organizer. Then, as indicated in the itinerary, the first activity would be the treasure hunt. All of us were divided into a few group following the hand ribbon color that distributed to us. Mine was Grey!! :)

Yang mana? Yang paling kurang cerah tu lah :)

Briefing session

Everyone was very committed. Good job!

Most of the participants were mothers and daughters. Suiting the title of this program, could really see that memories were sweetly created between them. They helped each other, they ran together and they laughed.

Imagining me with my mama running together, i think my abah would feel very proud of her wife who have been 30+ years avoiding herself to jog even once. :p

Report duty: Dear hubby, cemana anak kita kat rumah? jangan lupa bla bla..
hehehe.

12.20 pm

The next activity was to listen to a talk about Protecting against Cervical Cancer Together by Dr. Yap Moy Juan, the Consultant Obstetrician & Gynecologist, The Fetal Medicine & Gynecology Center, PJ.

Hepp!! I bukan tengah check fb notification or tweeting tau.
I tengah salin notes. Percaya, please. :)

To give an earlier idea and understanding to all, the objective of this talk was to educate mothers and daughters on the risk of cervical cancer and how it can be prevented.

Meh i share apa yang i salin (kindly pardon the way i wrote my notes. Entah lintang pukang, entah ayat rojak-rojak. Almaklumla writing while listening :p)

1. Malaysia, cervical cancer: 3rd highest in Malaysia

Number 1 is Breast Cancer, and number 2 is Colorectal cancer. Worlwidely, every two minutes a woman dies of Cervical Cancer. Ok i takut! :(

2. What is the cervix and cervical cancer ni sebenarnya?

Sapa tau angkat tangan? Honestly kalau ditanya before i went to this program, i akan jatuh tangan sebab i mmg tak sure part mana sebenarnya adalah cervix. Tapi sekarang i know already. Dia macam ni, Cervix ni sebenarnya located at where the womb joining vagina.

3. Agent of cancer : HPV human papilloma virus

4. Not sexual desease. jgn pulak nak salahkan hubby.

Maksud i, kalau tetiba kita ditakdirkan menghidapi penyakit ini dan yakin gaya hidup kita sexually safe, jangan terus melulu berburuk sangka dan salahkan hubby. This virus could be everywhere. Under the bed-sheet, bawah katil, dalam toilet, etc.
Some women have a greater chance of getting cervix cancer if they:

• Have HPV and it doesn’t go away
• Have HIV or AIDS
• Smoke

5. Is cervical cancer preventable??

The answer is Yes.
For girls below 20 years old, there is 3 stage of HPV vaccination.
For ladies above 20 years old, again, do you Papsmear test.

6. Regular check up (Papsmear)

Every woman is encourage to perform their annual Papsmear test. Janganla cingelat Tau!!. It's for our own good. Dengan test inilah kita boleh tau how's the condition di bawah sana. The Pap test looks for changes in the cervix that might lead to cancer. If cancer does occur, the Pap test can find it early when it is easier to treat.

According to Dr Yap, if the first two consecutive paps negative, than you could perform the third test after 3 years.

7. 14-19 age

This is the target group for Medical Association (MMA) Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination Programme. With this, two or three doses of vaccination will be provided at an access price while the third dose will be provided free of charge to encourage dosing compliance and ensure optimal efficacy.

Dr Yap Moy Juan introduced and interviewed Mrs Victoria Victor, ibu prihatin yang telah pun membawa her daughter, Pamela Victor to be protected by HPV vaccinations. She's a lucky girl. Huge round applause to both of them.

Yang ini kene ingat tau;
This vaccination is expected to significantly reduce the lifetime risk of cervical cancer, alongside screening and a healthy lifestyle.

8. RM466 for two doses of vaccination.

Payment for these vaccinations can be made in two equal installments of RM233 upon the administration of the first and second dose of the vaccine. The third dose is FOC.

9. 1800 22 8688
