O.M.G.

Have you ever lost someone so close to you and regret later in life that you did not have an opportunity to know that person better? 

I have.

Have you seen someone whom you grew up with suffered in pain up to the very last moment?

I have.

The worst time of my life and I shall not elaborate further simply because I know how painful it is and I do not want YOU to go through it. Yes, YOU - the one reading this.

CANCER, our number one enemy. Even with all the technology advancement, we have yet to find a cure to it. We can fly men to outer space. Scientists even researched on the possibility of having us all move to planet Mars. We worry about getting the latest Apple products. Corruption. Civil wars. What is wrong with this world? Do you really want to see a child going through the painful processes of chemotherapy? The countless operations? NO! 

2011, let it be the start of something new, something MEANINGFUL.

In collaboration with Pusat Perubatan University Malaya (PPUM), KDU Pre-U Department will be kicking off year with O.M.G. (Oh My Girl, based on the adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew) charity play for the Children's Cancer Fund, PPUM. 

A KDU student production =)

Thank you to all of you who were involved for putting in so much effort for a good cause!

The Children's Cancer Fund is to help children aged 6 months to 17 years old to get access to necessary treatments and operations for them to survive our number one enemy, Cancer. A child needs RM6000 (appx. £1200) per cycle of chemotherapy (and mind you, cancer cannot be cured in just one session!). Watch this short clip and you'll know what I mean.

O.M.G., the play, will be held on the 26th, 27th and 29th of January 2011. Details are as follows:

RM15 from YOU, is that too much to ask for? Cut down on your phone bill, teh-tarik sessions, alcohol and cigarettes for A WEEK and you can buy time and perhaps lives for these children! Busy with work? Uni?Assignments? No time? These children who are in need of help are in a worse position compared to you! They go through pain physical, mentally and emotionally and THEY ARE AGED BETWEEN 6 months to 17 years old. 

Think about this, we were once the future generation, and thanks to our forefathers, we did it. They are NOW, OUR future generation, it becomes OUR responsibilities to help them.

Don't you think it is about time for you to stock up on your karma points? 

Cheers to the New Year!
