I
can’t believe that time have pass so fast. It’s been 4 days since our on-ground
event has officially ended. I feel so heavy-hearted to accept the fact that it
has become a history now. At the same time, I’m glad that we, turtlebots actually
managed to create a remarkable result, which is a total of 1346 phone, laptops
and tablets collected to save the turtles. This requires the support and effort
of everyone to make this happen. This also successfully reflects the tagline our campaign, “Connecting Lives,
Transforming Lives” which signifies the meaning of connecting human together to
transform the lives of the sea turtles which are facing extinction now.
However,
this recycling phones, laptops and tablets activity for turtle conserving
effort should not stop right after this “RING A LIFE” campaign. This is because
turtle conserving effort should be done continuously to ensure the long-term
effect of the program. Therefore, I urge all of you, who are reading this,
please donate your unwanted phones to the Microsoft recycling bin placed at Q
block, TARUC if you still have any.
Despite
on that, I would also like to share my personal thought to this “Ring A Life”
campaign. I learnt a lot of things from this campaign because it is so
different with the events we used to organize back in diploma. As a degree
student, we are expected to work independently on ourselves. Although it might
be time consuming as we need to figure things out and find solutions when we
face any problems, it somehow brace us, or at least myself to face the reality
world before we need to go into the industry. The boss doesn’t pay to teach you
when you are at work, am I right?
Besides
that, I also get to gain my exposure to this industry by representing “Ring A
Life” campaign to attend a meeting with WWF-Malaysia for presentation. It was
indeed an eye-opening experience because it literally gave me a shock when I
get to feel it myself for the awesome working environment in WWF-Malaysia head
quarter and how casual and friendly they are to each other in the work place.
The
best thing I find that I have learn from this campaign is to work with new
people and from there, gain more friends. I used to stay in my comfort zone and
do things in my own way. Rigid, inflexible, stressful, perfect-oriented. This
campaign made me meets more people who come from different classes and work
together with them. So I realize everyone has their own way of doing things and
I’m glad that we are fine in getting along with each other by far. I can still
recall the first day when we are electing for the management team, I know none
of them, except the familiar faces that we used to nod with each other when we
meet in the lecture and I could barely speak to anyone. Now, I have 40 new friends
in my university college. Aren’t this amazing? Hahaha
Gonna end this post with lots of pictures with them awesome turtlebots!
