The end of MAP programme

The MAP programme held by Sime Darby for our training session has finally come to an end.. Throughout this period of time, I really learnt a lot.. How a corporate life is, how to deal with people and how to be a better leader.. To be entirely honest with you guys, I couldn't wait for the programme to end during the 3rd day of the programme.. Everday I would hope for the 25th of June to come.. But as it all came to end, I really wished it could stay on.. Continue on..

We started out knowing no one, safe a few uni friends..
Everyone set at their own chair, kept to their own thoughts and minded their own business..

Ice breaking session came..
Balloon games were played..
The ice was broken.. we got to know one another..

From the strangers we once were towards each other, we became friends..

Tasks were given to us..
One of it was to make a short film, in 1 day..

from 9.30am to 11.30am, we had classes.. editing, acting, filming,script writing.. everything in film u could possibly think of..
at 12.30pm, the script was written.. Our group gotten the title for musical film.. The task was given to me, Su Sin and Joyce to find the suitable songs after the script was written (12.30pm)..
At 1.30pm, we had to hand in our findings..
Filming started at 2pm..
Editing and mixing effect was started at 5.30pm..
Oscar night was at 8.30pm..
Our group manage to bring home 3 awards.. Best Supporting Actor, Best Costume and Best Perfomance!

Besides that, I was given the chance to lead a team of people for choir.. Got to meet a bunch of other people that were from different groups.. For the past 1 week, we struggled to perfect the 2 songs we were going to present on the final day.. I saw all of them improved day by day.. I saw all of them became more passionate about the performance day by day..

They began to give suggestions on how we could improve the performance and what to do.. Coorporations were given more easily..

A task that I thought difficult at the begining, turned out to be something I really looked forward to daily.. And before you knew it, new friendship was born.. we even got ourselves 3 guys that we named do re mi!! haha.. I already miss the choir gang.. sob sob.. I sure hope we can keep in touch.. Unfortunately the "smart" me forgot to get their email ads!! >.<>

So many new friendship bonds were formed..

So many unforgetable memories made..

Met some awesome people there.. People that are really sweet and kind, friendly, competitive, outspoken, humourous, joyous, cute and smart.. there are just so many of them!!

Look at Su Sin and May Lee hiding behind us.. Zzz

And our group photo!!!

p/s: there are actually many more photos which I did not post up cause its far too time consuming.. So these are the random few.. haha

One Day Trip to Genting Highlands~~

I'm guessing my blog is kind of photo deprived lately?? Haha.. Well, today's post is going to be filled with pictures then.. ^^

Before our UTAR gang went back to our own hometown, we went for a gathering at Genting Highlands.. Meet up with the gang at Terminal Putra LRT station.. Got the bus and also cable car ticket from the counter there and started our one day trip..

Everyone enthusiastic face before we went up.. All except, Cody.. LOL.. He looks sleepy don't you think so?

Another picture when we were halfway up the mountain and was going to switch to cable car..

Pictures with the clowns.. Well, sort of far away from the clowns.. XD

One more picture before entering the cable.. Wei Jian don't know busy texting who.. =P

In cable car liao lo.. Everyone still looking enthusiastic.. hehe

At Genting First World Hotel Lobby, waiting for our room.. Spent quite awhile here.. More than 2 hours I think.. Zzz

So sien until I started taking mou liu pictures.. haha.. Me boxing Enson.. =P

Me acting cool.. haha..

Cody's turn to act cool.. Were you trying to look like u were smoking or were you trying to look gay?? Anyway, Cody told me he was trying to look gay cool.. LOL?

Finally got our room!!! Weee!!! before enter room, must post post.. =P

Post finish lo.. then its time to go for a walk..

Grabbed some cotton candy to eat..

Then got herbal eggs.. Cody belanja.. ^^v

And took some pictures with the monsters there.. wahaha..

Back at the room..

Whats Wednesday and Enson doing?? haha..Cody wanted a back massage and Wednesday being the lightest stepped on him.. Enson "trying" to help Wednesday keep her balance.. =P

Later at night, we went casino and also to the gardens for a stroll.. No pictures taken though.. First reason because no cameras were allowed in the casino and second reason because I forgotten about picture taking while we were at the garden.. =P

A picture on the way down in the cable car.. The picture was taken without me noticing.. haha.. luckily I don't look horrible.. =P

First Week at Palace of the Golden Horses

First week at Palace of the Golden Horses and I feel so tired, deprived of internet and most of all, deprived of the sun light!! haha..

I have not been in Sime Darby Apprenticeship Programme for a week now.. Soft skill training is.. Well.. To be honest, I learned quite some things about management.. But other than that, its not really all the related to the field of my studies..Guess I'll have to wait for the 11 months on-job training to gain more experience on my related field.. ^^

The hotel is simply marvelous.. so beautiful.. I love the toilet..LOL..

Not much pictures yet though.. I'll update it when I get the chance.. next week maybe.. ^^

So far, I've done a presentation on stage with 500 apprentice watching and learnt how to become a music editor for a short film my group created in less than 3 hours!! I now realise that music editing isn't as easy as it seems.. There's so much to worry about!! For example, during the scenes, when someone slaps another person, we have to add the slapping sound effects, when a person closes the door, we have to add the door sound, car breaking, and everything!!

My group did a short musical film.. So I had to find the right musics for the film, add the cut portions of the song and paste them together and make sure the sound comes on the cue with the mouth movements.. It was very straineous and tiring.. But all of it was worth it cause I had a hell lot of fun and got to make more friends..

Had a terrible back pain after that, due to all the hunching while editing the songs and also running everywhere.. Sime Darby really pushes us to allow us to realise our capabilities.. To push us through our limits and make us better.. I might grumble at times about the programme.. But I truly enjoyed it.. ^^

By the way, our group manage to win 3 awards during the oscar night (yes! Sime Darby had an oscar night for our short film of which was judge by a few well known local actors, actresses, editior and script writers).. The awards obtained were Best Costume Award, Best Supporting Actor award and also Best Performance Award.. Although we didn't win the Best Music or Best Sound awar, I am still very happy and proud of my group.. ^^

Sorry I have no pictures though.. I'll try to get some for other post.. ok? Till then!! ^^

Hilarious Conversation About Raisins

Had a conversation with Enson some time back.. Somewhere along the conversation he made me laughed out loud.. It was so funny I decided to share it with you guys..

*Of course I asked for his opinion before I post this =P*

Enson: Do you like to eat raisins?
Me: Not really, how about u?
Enson: Yea.
Me:Oh, I like to eat raisins under certain conditions like: if they are together with cereal and cold milk or with chocolate. I don't like eating them alone though, or with bread or with cake.
Enson: You are so troublesome.
Me: What o? Its like that.. I'm like that..
Enson: So bloody troublesome.
Me: Ish.. What troublesome? Zzz
Me: Everyone has their own eating preference. It doesn't mean all form of food also u would like ma.. right?
Enson: That's ok.. But the part where you don't like eating it alone is unacceptable..
Me: Why? (Suddenly everything became clear)
Me: LOL! I don't like eating raisins alone means I don't like eating raisins on its own you know? I don't mean I don't like eating raising without people accompanying me..
Enson: Ceh.. Misunderstood.. Sorry lur..

Outing with Fish aka Wan Yee !!

My primary school buddy, my friend that I seek for when I have problems.. My dear dear friend Wan Yee!!! haha..

Meet up with Wan Yee to sing K for the first time after knowing her for 14 years.. Went to Red Box and The Curve.. Sang from 1pm - 4pm.. Got the student rate for it.. Each of us paid about rm 8++.. quite cheap.. XD Sadly, next time I won't have student card to use already lo.. =S

Me choosing a few songs to sing.. Btw, they had 3 microphones and there were only 3 of us.. So each of us had a microphone to ourselves.. yay!

Chin Liang's turn to choose his selections of song.. Funny you know, we all really had different "knowledge" in songs.. Almost every single song I knew, they didn't and almost every single song they knew, I didn't.. LOL

On the left is me and on the right is Wan Yee..

After sing K we went for late lunch at Big Apples..

Fish, so glad I got to meet up with you.. Hope you do well for your job and also your studies.. Will always miss you girl.. ^^

Outing for Tze Yang's Welcome Home

Haven't been posting for the last 3 days because I went to my friend's acapella group concert 2 days ago and then went for a SimeDarby Apprienticeship Interview the next day and after that to watch Transformer again the next day.

Anyway, today I want to post about my outing with lion and the gang.. haha..

Been a long long time since we meet up.. This time, the meet up was because we wanted to meet up with Tze Yang who just came back from Australia..

Meet up at Mid Valley, our usual gathering place.. chat for a long while and then went for lunch at Zenmai Sushi..

from left, wei ren and lion.. looking forward for the sushi of their liking to pass by.. (there's this moving area where different types of sushi is placed and u can pick the one u want went it passes by). white plates cost rm 1.80, blue plates cost rm 2.80, pink plates cost rm 3.80 and black plates cost rm 4.80 and the red plates cost rm6.00. Its more expensive than Sushi King or Sakae Sushi.

From the left, me, chin liang and tze yang.. I looked so happy.. haha..

These are some of the meals I took picture of.. This time smarter than last time liao.. I choose the small portion one.. Ngek ngek..

The wasabi there doesn't taste hot.. So I placed more and more wasabi onto the plate until finally, It became like this..
LOL.. Well, actually it wasn't entirely my fault.. Lion was the one who suddenly placed an extra large spoon of wasabi into my little plate and the resulting effect was as shown as above.. Zzz

Anyway, the daring me went and tried that plate of wasabi and I ended up looking like the below picture..
Hahaha.. I was hiding my face cause tears were forming in my eyes.. Lion la!!! =P

After that we went Laundry Bar for a couple of drinks before going home again.. My first time at Laundry Bar.. XD
