Competition Ended @ 310709-2359
The quest for iPod Touch & Borders Vouchers has come to an end. However, your thirst for dementia knowledge will continue on. Check where you stand at the Hall of Fame at http://dact09.xi-ayl.com/fame.php. Do note that the standings are not final as we have yet to add the scores for the "Ah Gong, Ah Ma & I" Photo Contest. We've received numerous contest entries and we thank all for your support!
We'll take approximately a week to finalise the standings as we'll be adding the points from the photo contest and -nullifying- spammed accounts.
The information on dementia is still available for your perusal and the activities are still running. Points can still be added to your account but we'll take your scores you had at 310709, 2359 hours for the competition.
We would like to hear from you about your experience with us on this portal and the survey remains open indefinitely at http://dact09.xi-ayl.com/survey.php. Do take 10 minutes to help us understand what you think about D-Act'09: ne m'oublie pas.
We hope that you've learnt more about dementia and do pass on this newly-acquired knowledge to your loved ones.
And oh, the hidden treasure is "DEMENTIA IS NOT PART OF NORMAL AGEING".

Memory loss becomes obvious in dementia patients who are in the moderate stage of the disease.

We've hidden dementia-related questions around this web portal. These questions will appear randomly at any pages. You'll need luck to view and attempt these questions!
Please do not constantly refresh to 'force' questions out (as that will cause very high traffic and the server will be laggy). We've made it such a way that lady luck will shun if you refresh a page and visit different pages at a super-duper fast speed.
Simply take your time, look through the pages and more importantly, learn more about dementia, and a question may just appear in front of you.
All the best!
