On Friday 23th October 2009, a talk was held in UBD at CLT room which was started at 10.00 am untill 12.00 pm. The talk were given by Dk.Najibah Eradah which she used to be call Era and now she was famous with the Polar Girl. She spent 2hour with us to gave a motivational talk and hopfully help us with this course and can be applied for our future life.
She talked and told us that she had been studied at Kingston University at United Kingdom where she took Bachelor of Science. She was also a member of the Brunei Adventure Recreation Assosiation. She also added that she does alot of practices for her trip to south pole. In addition, she was sponsered by Kaspersky Lab. She was scheduled to depart for United Kingdom on 31st October 2009 and will join her teammates from other 7 countries namely Cyprus, Ghana, India, Jamaica, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
She was the first bruneian female to be at south pole. She mention that she will travel on ski about 900km across the south pole. She need also to be prepared for the cold temperature there of minus 40 degrees centigrade which she indangred of 'Frostbite'. Basically Frosbite is a damage that occur on the tissues and nerves system due to over-cold temperature. The effect of it was the frossbiten area will turn discoloured, which turn black however on top of that it turn purple at the first stage.
She does also mension about the environment there where she told us that the condition over there were really cold and unsuitable for any living things to live there. She also added that ever waste should not be left there such as rubbish should bring back with us even our own waste we shud put it into a bag. Their main aims were to preserve the environment and to take care of it.The south pole is situated 9000 feet above sea level with a very cold and freezing temperature.
Learning aspects of the talk:
1. I learnt alot from her motivatinal talk where she shared alot of usefull stuff such as need to be strong in building camp and need alot of practices for the actual jorney. So here i learnt that we must be prepared enough in term of skills and physical energy.
2. I Learnt that good taste of food is not a factor in order to survive where she told us that on that adventure they just eat cereal porridge for breakfast and just eat choclate for lunch and get sources of energy. Here i just know that choclate is good food to provide energy and from now on i could eat choclate just to get extra energy.
3. She does mention about 'Janji Melayu' where she told us that she doesn't like that word because malay is bassically her own race so here she does motivated by that word and try to motivate herself by throwing away that bad attitude and try to be more punctual inorder to remove that label. I just also motivated by what she said because me, myself were also malay and i were aswell try to remove that label away by throwing that bad attitude
