Apologies on the belated post, finally had the time since WMHD’s curtain call to sit and write this post.

 Everybody has a story to tell and this is my story…

 As those who have been keeping tabs on the latest news, you would have known that HELP World Mental Health Day 2012 has finally drawn its curtains on the 28th of October, 8.30pm @ The Curve! It was an incredible journey with just the greatest people that you could have ever crosspath with.
For this great experience, I’d have to thank an awesome friend of mine who introduced me to WMHD ; Christine! and from then on, the rest is history.

Starting off with the WMHD’s first hype! A time when everyone was working as one to achieve an impossible goal of reaching 1000 in just 6-7 hours, but impossible turned possible when we made it just before the day ends! :)

First of the many Flashmobs @ One Utama

Above are only a short part of the journey that we’ve been through and worked hard to achieve, there’s so much to say that I think one post wouldn’t be enough. This journey got me bruises, cuts, all parts of the body aches, sweat, FRIENDS <3, talking to strangers, making phone calls to universities and high schools, and lastly tears of joy. I don’t think I’d ever come close to being part of something so phenomenal again thus I would like to say THANK YOU to WMHD Organizing Team for a great experience, love, warmth and awesome friendships. Credits to the Board of Directors (students) for their massive hardwork, this wouldn’t have worked out and so perfectly done without them! <3
