was to go for the conference, I would not be able to "enjoy" my 3 days semester break. But I decided to go too. My exam finished on the 4th February and I had to travel to Moscow on the 4th February itself. Immediately after my exam, we had to go to the railway station to catch our 20 hours train to Moscow. The conference begins on the 5th February and we had to travel for such a long time to get to Moscow.
We had a wonderful time in Moscow. There were many wonderful programs arranged for us and from wonderful speakers like
We also had many wonderful performances by
The theme for this conference was "CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME".The 1st session was conducted by Pastor Kevin Loo. Pastor Kevin Loo imparted words of wisdom and encouragement with a powerful sermon noting how important change can be and that the word of God triggers change to empower us to not only become normal doctors but spiritual doctors that not only bring the medicine but also hope to the downcasted and the broken hearted. We as doctors merely provide the medicine but it is only God that provides the cure.
The second day of the Winter Conference 2010 was a long session that included the message that blew my mind by Rev. Matts Ola, a highly revered and respected pastor that commands a large following of Russian Christians in Moscow. His church popularly goes by the Russian name of Слова жизни (Slava Zhizny) which means Word of Life. His sermon on merciful really touched my heart. I really learn t a lot especially from this session.
There was also a talk conducted by Dr Shan Ong himself who is one of the top pediatricians specializing in child development in Sydney, Australia. He was there to talk about highly acquired medical skills and advice to us aspiring doctors. Last but not least, Dalvinder Singh who is the founding director of the Moscow Malaysian Fellowship and also in his final year also imparted much wisdom to us as he delivered tips on leadership skills and people management. Dalvinder also was part of a relieve team that was sent to Haiti. Looking at his vision to change our way of looking at things really was amazing.
The highlight of the event was Ms Jaclyn Victor herself. The first ever Malaysian Idol winner. Her voice is so wonderful. The last song she sang on Sunday was so superb.
Moreover, the all girl band "Free to Fall" was also there. Other groups were also present to showcase their talent and to entertain the night, "Street Temple" a hip hop dance group by a group of four Russians and "Saved" a pop dance team were there to wowed us with their impeccable dance choreography.
The last day of the conference took place at the Word of Life Church. Pastor Matts Ola led the final session. In total there were 5 sessions. Jaclyn Victor took the stage once more and delivered yet another trademark stunning performance. After the worship, song performance we had to leave the church because we had to catch our flight.
Although we were tired, but it was chance that I believe none of us want to miss. Im glad that I attended the conference because I learnt a lot of new things. The most wonderful thing was that each and every arrangement done was done by medical students who should be one of the most busiest students. I was truly amazed by the Malaysian Fellowship hospitality and professionalism of doing this. May God Bless You!
