She was sponsored by Kaspersky Lab, in fact Kaspersky Lab agreed to sponsor the entire team. She is scheduled to depart for the United Kingdom on October 31, 2009 and will meet her teammates from seven other countries namely Cyprus, Ghana, India, Jamaica, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Her long ambition and struggle to achieve something for the sake of the nation has encouraged the first Bruneian woman to venture to the South Pole.
The South Pole is situated about 2,700 metres (9,000 feet) above sea level and the winds flow from it over thousands of miles down to the coast. The South Pole, also known as the Geographic South Pole or Terrestrial South Pole, is one of the two points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects the surface. It is the southernmost point on the surface of the Earth and lies on the opposite side of the Earth from the North Pole.
She mention in her talk that they will travel on ski for some 900 kilometres across the most hostile environment on Earth, enduring temperatures of minus 40 degrees centigrade, with winds that reach speeds of over 80mph and of course expose to danger and risk. One of the risk that she mention is 'Frostbite'.
Frostbite occurs when tissues freeze. This condition happens when you are exposed to temperatures below the freezing point of skin. frostbite is not treated immediately then the damage and the frostbite becomes permanent, nerve damage will occur due to oxygen deprivation. Frostbitten areas will turn discolored, purplish at first, and soon turn black. After a while nerve damage becomes so great that feeling is lost in the frostbitten areas. Blisters will also occur. If feeling is lost in the damaged area, checking it for cuts and breaks in the skin is vital. Infected open skin can lead to gangrene and amputation may be needed.
She also mention about 'janji melayu'... In her talk, she urged to us to wipe out the culture 'janji melayu' because it will not brings any good in any way (I agree with that).
Last but not least, the talk was very motivational and inspirational to us. Its' open our mind and thought not just remain on 'bed of roses' but to go outside their 'comfort zone' and set up our own goals in life to ensure those goals are achievable through our own efforts. I just wanna tell you that we are very proud of you and we will pray for your save long journey to bring our country name to the south pole... You just add one more history for Brunei... who knows maybe i'll be the first Bruneian to the moon... nothing is impossilble for me...
