SANA Course
Just 2 days after the civil Defence Course, on the 4/11/09, it's our Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA) Course. This course is basically about teaching us the harmfulness of drugs and appoint us to be transfer agents to tell people about the harmful effects of drugs.
We met up in school at 7.30a.m. from there we took a bus to Sengkang Community Hub which is next to Compass Point.
When we arrived there, we boarded the lift up to the fifth floor. We were told to sit down and wait until our turn to enter our details on the computer.
We then had to line up in another corner until they called us. It was damn freaking frustrating that we waited for so long, even those who came before us got to go in first!!! After a long wait, we finally got to enter the room.
After distributing the course materials, the talk started. The speaker was an ex-police officer in the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB). He was appointed here since he was too old to run. He was quite humorous in his speech even though he sounded fierce.
Firstly he talked about the introduction of the course, followed by introducing some of the drugs and what effect they caused. After the talks, they showed us a video about a young man who chose to take drugs and how he felt after he was caught, the video was trying to tell us that drugs not only harms you, but also your family members emotionally as they were upset. After the video, we went for our lunch break.
My friend, Ahmad Aqashah and I went to Compass Point, at Banquet, to have our lunch. We had Nasi Ayam Penyet (flattened fried chicken rice). This was my first time trying the dish, it tasted quite nice except the freaking thing that the chicken got so much bones. After lunch there was still some time left. We went to Popular Book store and Comics Connection to look around before going back to the place.
After we came back from lunch, we watched another video about some interview with ex-drug addicts. Soon it was our test. We were given the question and answer sheet and started the test.
The test was also quite okay with some tricky questions. I managed to complete all of them.
After the test, we had to perform a skit about anti-drugs. We were split into groups according to our seating position. My group members were all from different schools. As for the skit, I acted as a drug addict, convincing the kids to take drugs. In the first scene, I was arrested but in the second scene, I got too "high" and in the end, jumped down the building, dead. I am proud that our group won the best skit and each earned a set of binoculars worth $12 (don't know is it true or not). We also knew that all of them passed the test.
In order to get the certificate and the badge, you still need to tell 5 people to go to this website: www.sana.org.sg/badgeproject to complete the quiz and submit using your badge ID.
After the course, we waited for long time before the bus came and went back to school.
This was another "slack" course for you to earn a badge and cert. I enjoyed myself a lot during the course as we had lots of fun. I am looking forward to more such courses!
