* Mission Possible Conference *

| 24 May 2008
Finally, I have the time to write about it. :)
This is dedicated to all OC, all Faci, everyone who helped us.
And, it's specially dedicated to all delegates!
And to people who didn't know what was Mission Possible Conference, this is for you too! :)

MPC is a conference aiming to educate people about HIV/AIDS and help raise funds for those living with it.

************************************************************

Mission Possible Conference preparation was done months before 1st of May. Yet the day before, everyone was still busy preparing, checking and making sure of things.

Like this person. Who's it?

DAY 1
The day came. 1st of May. People started to walk into the hall of Kolej 5.
Photobucket
Registration time. After checking into the rooms, we waited for the bus and headed off to the Medical and Health Science Faculty!

Kudos to AIESEC UPM facilitators, the opening plenary was very friendly and hype~! :) And the conference started off...with ice breaking of course! :P

Photobucket
Goal settings and expectation session.
Delegates had a quality time thinking and discussing with others.

Photobucket
Not to forget, with the interns from Netherlands, India, Nepal and Korea around, the MPC was even more merrier than ever!

Photobucket

"Challenges to Humanity" - A seminar talk by Malaysian AIDS Council.

And next we had interesting sessions by the Pink Triangle Foundation! A huge thank you to them to come all the way to join us~
Photobucket

There were different workshops for the delegates - Sex workers, Transgender, HIV positive living, Drug users and the MSM (Men have sex with men)
Photobucket
"How to wear a condom" demonstration at the Sex Workers and HIV positive workshop

MSM and transgender workshop~ The most happening workshop that day I guessed.

Open discussion at Transgender workshop. A great time where thoughts were poured out and views were discussed. Thanks to all proactive participants and great staffs from PTF too!

Photobucket
Upon request, "Wearing a condom with your mouth" demonstration was done in front of all of the delegates. Cool! Try to guess how many cameras were aiming at that moment.

After a whole day of seminar and workshops of exposure, MPC cool down the night by having a movie and a night stalk game~ :)

DAY 2
We started off the day with.... BODY COMBAT by Celebrity Fitness!!! HOT GUYS!
Photobucket
Never knew that the delegates could be so cool~

Photobucket
Then we have a talk by AWAM. The best part of that seminar was when videos of drug abuse were played.

Photobucket
After sessions of HIV/AIDS ... we were thankful to have Alumni Edward to share his experience during the marketing workshop.

At night, it was a time for enjoyment -> RED PARTY!!!

Congrats again to the luckydraw winners carrying home together prizes worth total RM1500 sponsored by Celebrity Fitness!:)

DAY 3
A special starting of the day with some magical moments~
We were glad to have Mentalist David Lai to join us during MPC for a comedy mind reading session!
Photobucket
David and Flora on stage. David did a great performance and I believe everyone still remembers how he BENDED THE SPOON...or CHANGED THE TIME OF PULKHIT'S WATCH without touching it. :)

After the "wow" and "ah" during the comedy mind reading session, delegates were off to a visitation at PTF Drop in centre!!! Yay! Out of campus!
Photobucket
"Line up..."
"..."
"Line up!!"
"..."
"WEI LINE UP LAA!!!"
"!!!!"

Photobucket
Delegates get the opportunities to get close contact with the people itself. Nicholas was raising up questions about Sex workers in Malaysia.

Photobucket
Small group picture~ Visitations were done in rotations because the number of visitors allowed are only 15-20.

We visited the Positive living, Transgender, and Sex workers drop in centres at TanCom building, run by Pink Triangle Foundation. Later on, all of us walked through Jalan Chow Kit (not exactly) and some fortunate ones spotted some Sex Workers along the street. It was indeed a very eye-opening visitation especially to those who did not ever get in touch with the 5 marginalised groups in Malaysia, before.

After a whole tiring visitation, we slept our way back on the bus. And boom! It's marketing simulation time!!

Photobucket
Brainstormed for ideas and tried their best to market their ideas~ :) U guys did very well!

At night, it was the Mission Possible session!
Teams were to fight for 80 candles at 4 stations...
Photobucket
"laugh lah..wei please laugh lah...."
Too bad HOPE Project Director Soon Kit will not laugh to give you the candles that easily my dear.... :P

Photobucket
Flora and Kaiser! Another station where the facis and OCs get to have fun too~! Hit your butt all the way through and fight for the candles~~~! A station where everyone really had thorough fun!

Photobucket
The first candle was started off by Conference manager Rue-Hann...and it proceeds...continuing the flame of HOPE.

Photobucket
Together we light the candle of HOPE

Photobucket
Never let the passion dies off

Photobucket
Mission Accomplished. A ribbon candle of HOPE, lighted with 600 candles.
This could not be done without YOUR participation. :)

The ribbon reminded us to always remember those who are suffering from HIV/AIDS, and to help them, as well as help others to prevent from being infected.
What a sweet and memorable night to end with.

DAY 4 - LAST DAY
It was a day to help raise funds....and we headed off to Sungei Wang Plaza!!!!
Photobucket
Macam shifting house...

Photobucket
"May I place a red ribbon on you, sir?"
A time to reach out to the public~

Photobucket
"Our shirts very nice wan...specially designed! Buy 1 donate to charity and get to wear nice shirts, cool leh..."
Gathering hand in hand for this charity event :)

Photobucket
Collecting as much donation as we can...

Photobucket
...for those who are in dire need of it

Photobucket
In less than 3 hours we collected approximately RM2000 which made everyone proud. ;)

We know we did not play a very big role in preventing HIV/AIDS.
Yet, little contributions always help when you want to make a change.
It starts from me.
It starts from you.
It starts from us.

Mission Possible Conference was a success.
And we always believe that....
Photobucket

Thank you to all who are involved in it.
Fight HIV/AIDS.

Keep the promise.
Deng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
