WELCOME JAN '11 INTAKE STUDENTS !
TCSH Oscar Night: A Night of Recognition, A Night To Remember
King of Pop: The Musical Charity Concert
Backstage.
The seating of Pentas 1, KLPac.
The young but talented performers of the musical.The members of DOT were divided into three groups: stagehands, usherers and registration committee. Stagehands were mainly involved in stage directions and props while the usherers were given the responsibility to usher the audience to their respective seats. The registration committee on the other hand, was responsible to collect tickets, give out goodie bags and promote charitable goods that were on sale at the booth on both days. On the second day, members rotated their roles to give each other the opportunity to experience welcoming guests, promoting goods for charity and pulling strings backstage.
All in all, the members of DOT Club who volunteered for this event definitely had an unforgettable experience through this event. This is because it has helped them to develop cooperation among themselves besides instilling a down-to-earth attitude knowing that they are working in the name of charity.

Attachment at IJN
On the 13th of August 2010, DOT Club has given its members a wonderful opportunity to have a brief hospital attachment at Institut Jantung Negara, Kuala Lumpur. This attachment was aimed to promote further medical education to the aspired members of DOT Club who wish to pursue in Medicine besides giving them an opportunity to witness the real-life situation in a hospital.
A total of 24 students hopped onto the bus which left TCSH at 2:00 p.m that Friday afternoon. Upon arrival, they were given a brief tour around the hospital. They were then showed a slideshow of heart operations that have been done in IJN before proceeding to the next activity.
The DOT members were then divided into two groups, one which proceeded to the cathlab and one which took a tour around the Operation Theatres (OT). The first group had the opportunity to visit the cathlab, which is an examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging equipment used to support the catheterization procedure. These lucky students were given an exposure of a balooning procedure, a treatment designed to open blocked or narrowed arteries. This procedure can be used to treat problems in many areas of the body. The second group, on the other hand, had the chance to go for Operation Theatres tour, including the Hybrid OT, a theatre where multiple procedures could be done.
Even though the attachment was brief, the DOT members who went definitely gained more knowledge regarding the field of Medicine and had the opportunity to have an experience of what a real life situation is working at a hospital. Thank you.

After they were done visiting the stations, the students were brought back to the lecture hall and had a “Who Wants To Be A Doctor?” quiz session. The Autoclave group won the 3 round quiz session. Participation certificates were also given out and then we all had a small tea session. All in all, it was truly an enjoyable and informative event for all the students who took their Saturday off to attend this event.
ECA Drive Day
On the 23rd of July 2010, Taylor's College Sri Hartamas held its second ECA Drive Day of the year to accomodate the June intake students for their extra-curricular activities. Preparations for DOT's booth and info boards began even two weeks prior to the event. DOT Club's Board of Directors and its members were all involved in the preparations and the delegation of tasks was done very smoothly.
The Board of Directors of DOT Club were enthusiastic in preparing for this day, not only to win "The Best Booth" award but also to attract more members into the club so that the club can expand thus making future activities a lot easier to organize. Fortunately, our aim to expand the club was successfully met as DOT had acquired 35 new members by the end of the event, rising the total number of members to 102. This is an outstanding achievement considering DOT Club was only pioneered in March of this year.
At the end of the event, a price-giving ceremony was held to award deserving clubs who have put a lot of effort into decorating their booths and providing as much information as they can to the students of TCSH. Much to our delight, DOT Club won first place for the Best Booth Award and obtained RM250 as a gift from the ECA management of the college. The members of DOT applauded and cheered for our victorious win as each and everyone has put a lot of effort into making it happen. The event then officially came to an end after the price-giving ceremony ended.

Blood Donation Drive & Health Carnival
The blood donation drive was held in the Beta Theatre with the help of University Malaya Medical Center (UMMC). The registration opened at 12:30 p.m and closed at about 5:00 p.m. Much to our surprise, the number of students and staffs who registered reached to 72, but unfortunately, only 58 were eligible to donate their blood. After registration, students and staffs were asked a few basic questions regarding their health and later they had to undergo a health check. After they have successfully transmitted their blood, they were given biscuits and milo which were prepared by the DOT Club committee themselves as a token of appreciation and also to increase the sugar level in their blood. Among the lecturers who have taken their time to donate their blood were Mr. Hariandra Muthu, Mr. William, Miss Goh and Miss Anne Moses.
Besides the blood donation drive, several other booths were also opened for the Health Carnival. Sunway Medical Center, for example, opened a booth for students to check their Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure and glucose level. There were also booths set up to provide students additional insights to specific diseases and/or health matters, for example booths by Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA), Family Planning Association, National Cancer Society Malaysia and TCSH's very own Bodyweight and Fitness Club.
In conclusion, DOT Club has definitely met our objectives and aims of organizing a blood donation drive and a Health Carnival at the same time. Undoubtedly, every student and staff in TCSH have gained benefits from this event and became more aware of their own health. Most importantly, we have successfully donated blood into the blood bank for those in need. Therefore, DOT Club would like to thank everyone who has registered to donate but did not get the chance to do so and those who actually donated their blood, for all your care and concern to save the lives of others. :)
