today all the RUS 101 students are going to attend the BIG's talk on the Apex Leap to 2012. I'm really interested to know more about BIG.
Mr. Wan begun his talk with a little introduction about BIG and the Apex Leap... also the role and advantages of bamboo. Bamboo play a big part in this program... one of the reason is it satisfy the 7 APEX points. Bamboo is :
1. The future strongest building material and eco-friendly
2. Amazing and unique features
3. Most sustainable resource
4. Reduce poverty world wide
5. Survived the atomic blast and became the first re-greening
6. Able to reverse the effect of global warming
Point 7 - commitment.... what can we do?
What can we do to come out with something that able to meet the above 6 points by using bamboo? Mr. Wan emphasized a lot on the 21st Dec 2012. What will happen on that day, we'll never know. "its better to be knowledgeable than to be left out in the dark" this quote was taken from the website http://www.hbp.usm.my/1b/buluh/about2012.htm . It means that its better to be prepared than sitting down doing nothing.
one of the easiest example will be the dome that we RUS 101 student that just working on. each and everyone plays his or her part to make 1/2 struts. although it looks nothing but when gather everything and construct it, it can make a 2 storey high dome. This dome, we called it IBU will be the survival dome that accommodate all of us when disaster struck. without working together as one, its impossible to get works done.
then, we have another just finish tested project by RAG 132 - a floating dome. we're divided in groups of 3 and we are to construct floating dome that can accommodate all members. the dome must be made of bamboo.
during the process of completing both projects, we faced lots of problem. here, i've learned that bamboo is not just a plant. it have lots of uses. i also learned that, without cooperation, we cant get things done. for example, during the real test of our floating dome, we're asked to stand up and switched position. we need to work together as a team or else, the dome will loss its balance.
its the same as preparing for the 2012. we need to get together as one. we need to change the mindset of people. well, maybe not change the thinking but we can inspire them. many people said that the big dome that we're currently working on will not be successful but i believe that if everyone play their parts, that thing gonna work and it can be use during the 2012 disaster. i heard many complaints and seen how people work. some just simply do as long as its done and it turned out that when we try to assemble it in small groups, the connector comes out, the strut not stable, etc.
we need to change now.. stop complaining and start to act. if everyone acts like how we act now, we're not gonna survive. Let say the disaster is not gonna happen, however, this act of changing will benefit us in terms of being a someone in this community. we are the Awaken One.
What i've learned today was its not just being you but sometimes, when the time comes, we need to change our thinking, our mindset. be open to receives the change and be ready when it comes. be unite and nothing can stop us if we do so. nothing is impossible if we speak as one and act as one. Be prepare for the worse and prepare for the future.... "sediakan payung sebelum hujan"
Are you all ready for it???
p/s: my question: How can bamboo contribute in the medical field in the future/during 2012?
ans: Lots of uses, one of it is treat Epilepsy. Want to know more, get in the medical school
and do research on it..... =.=
