Taman Negara Leadership Trip

Summary of what happen in Taman Negara...

Depart at 7.00am from Sg Long. Before that, everyone have early exercise.
Arrive TARC at 8am and went to have breakfast.
Then follow by karaoke session for an hour.

Arrive Taman Negara at 12.30pm and went to have lunch at Wan Floating Restaurant. Went back to hostel and have a rest. 4.30 start first activity of drawing map...We are able to explore the serounding area just to draw a nice map.

Night jungle treking. Saw wild boar, wild cat, stick insect, moth, firefly, scorpion, jungle ants, and some other small insects.

First day was simple and just a warm up so we sleep early for second day adventure.

Day 2 begin with breakfast at hotel. then we go to Canopy walk and jungle treking. Nothing much to see (FRIM is better). after 2 hour of walking we come back for lunch and prepare for Rapid Shooting.

Rapid shooting was nice but my camera was flooded with water even protected by plastic bag. Meet with Singaporean students and involve in Kelah Fish Conservation Program...so we let 7000 of kelah fish into the river...haha...Then we went to orang asli place to see orang asli how to set up fire and do sumpit...hehe....

When night fall, it was daradevil nite...haha...some games to torture and stimulate creativity among the participants....End up games master also been torture...Thanks Wei Hong and Hock Lian for helping up and get torture by the other...hehe...

Last day we depart back and went to Kuala Gandah Elepant Santuary. Is kinda sad to go back again this place after 4 years. 4years ago, this place is heaven for elephant where it was their playground. Nearby there is deer farm as well but now development is so fast, I can even see any jungle around. The elephant been torture by the keeper where they put 3 person to ride on it. Previously no visitor are allow to come in but government have make it into a tourist area where limited visitor are allow to come in. Now the elephant is like been force to perform for the crowd. Haiz...

anyway here go some photo...

Rocket Safely launched

Yes....Malaysia First "ANGKASAWAN" is now on the space....9.15pm (Malaysian time), the rocket was launched. One of the proudest moment of Malaysia...Shame for Dataran Merdeka Big Screen Management where fail to do what they promise which is to live telecast on the Merdeka Square.

Just come back from Taman Negara. Was a nice but tiring camp and I was so tired, sleepy, headache and a bit sick...hehe...No time to review what we did in Taman Negara but I will review it by tomorrow night...Learn a lot in the camp (all hidden message that Mr Eddie Chan try to tell) as well as manage to see different side of box...Whole event is nice and well done. Hopefully everyone is satisfy with it.

Tomorrow also yet another event, K-worker graduation. I was totally blur of what might be happening as I was away for 3 days. Need to have small meeting with the others after this...I believe it will be a great success just like the Program Angkasawan Negara....wahahaha

Wait for the photo from Taman Negara....see u...

Another great day

Today mark the ending of module 4, Stand Up and Speak. I believe now 24 of the participants (including me..hehe..) will be more confident when there is any public speaking need to be done...

Today itself, we do at least 3 public speaking where 2 of them are impromtu and another is written speech that we do last night. Well, everything was nice and fun and we learn lot of way to tackle with difficult audiences and able to deliver a good speech.

Mr Jackson are kind enough to let us follow him and become his trainee (or shall i call it follower) if there is any workshop that he gonna do....It will be a good experience to get more knowledge from people like him and Mr UV Wong who is really a great great speaker.

Tomorrow another module will start which is Business Communication which I will miss for both session. That is bad....Then follow by last module, Workplace ettiquete which include table manner and grooming. Hopefully they put table manner on last day so I can learn as well.....Haiz...is time to write resume again because need to pass to MDEC....hope better job can come in as well....hahaha...

Anyway, will be absent for K-worker for 3 days which was my biggest opportunity cost...I wish can attend both but I have to scarified it due to my responsibility in the committee. Besides that, I believe, I can also learn from Taman Negara Leadership Trip.

No time to post photo now...will upload if I free...hehe..

Stand Up and Speak!!

Today got new module for K-worker...Stand up and Speak....It was a nice workshop where it was conducted in a very interactive manner and we have to do lot of impromtu speaking and tackle with lot of facial and body gesture.

Anyway to cut things short, it was a nice workshop and useful to me to improve my public speaking...Will be absent for 3 days workshop next week due to Taman Negara and it was one of my most difficult decision. Some of my friends come and approach me asking me not to skip the K-worker due to the certificate and the knowledge that can be gain. Yup, it will be the biggest opportunity cost, but it was my responsibility to be in Taman Negara to undergo training and share my K-worker experience.

Kinda tired this few days due to lack of sleep and inconsistent of eating timing. So lazy to add so much to my blog this time but just attach some photos here....Really have fun with this bunch of crazy fella...wahahaha

Some Picture to share










Another Module Ended

Today marks the end of Module 3 of Global K-worker Program which is "Customer Service Excellence". Everytime a module ended, it will be sad and tear drop time. Undeniable, the module 3 is quite boring but our relation with the trainer is so good.

Today, the training ended with photo shooting and thanking our trainer. Gia Min, decided to sing with guitar played by Ryo to show her appreciation to our trainer. She composed the song herself.

Tomorrow new module will start and it will be more to public speaking and lot of talking.....

Having hair cut together with Wei Wah just now...seem like didn't cut but at least now look a bit neat..hehe...

Too long have not manage a project so now a bit lost for Taman Negara Trip. Thanks to the committees, I believe the trip will be a success. I believe I can share millions of things that I learn in K-worker with all the participants of Taman Negara. I believe it will be almost the same camp I undergo a week ago in Port Dickson and I hope everyone is prepared for the events. Can't wait for the events...hehe...Anyway....lot of stuff to do so I update photo for K-worker soon...hehe

Another Tired Day

Today another new module of K-worker stared and is a bit boring and dry compare to the other 2 module we undergo few days ago. However we still enjoy it...hehe

Get to choose our committee for graduation night and I was super super quite during the whole election...I didn't really voice up my idea even thought I have done this kinda even lot of time. I prefer to sit down and listen as I believe everyone are leader in the K-worker. But leader can be follower and follower can be leader so I choose to be a follower this time around.



Here is Mr UV....lot of gals like him lol...hehe



Back to Sg Long and have mood to blog again..hehe...anyway, need to work out for Taman Negara Trip....Those who went to taman Negara please view the video for infomation....hehe


This is just a guide...we are not gonna do so many program but more on leadership camp. Hope you all can enjoy the camp next week...hehe..

Please prepare yourself for unlimited 72 hours of adventerous, learning and action!!!
Gather at North Lobby at 6.20 on Monday and please bring more clothing (preferable track bottom and light t-shirt)...

Too Lazy

I m getting lazy to update my blog this few days because I m undergoing a special training. Wake up early just be stuck in the middle of jam and see how reckless driver cutting queue without bothering to put on the signal and come back late due to traffic jam again. Is like working life anyway!!

Celebrate friend birthday yesterday even though I am the last to arrive...hehe...

Learn a lot of things and value this few days. Of course I cannot remember so many things but at least I appreciate and understand more on people behavior and attitude. Creative mind set and thinking can bring so many benefit to us....

As day proceed, I feel that, what soft skills competency units is trying to promote is really to help students to get out from their own thinking and be more skillful person to suit for competitive job market. Students must have own initiative to learn and to get themselves ready for job. Soft skills lead a clear path for students to prepare in mind, physically and change students attitude in seeing things that happen in their life. People always complaint but they dunno where is the roots of the problem. Normally problem emerge from ourself. People give reason! People give excuses!

As there is thousand and thousand of module in soft skills, students have to master at least the 5 main modules in life which are leadership and teamwork, communication, creative and critical thinking, self confidence and presentation and also customer and entrepreneur skills.

Those who think that you need to brush up or do something with your current level of softskills, find some workshop to attend. If you are comfortable with your current level, then congrat because you believe you have good softskills but learning is lifetime process and knowledge is a non stop things. So any chance, why not learn more skills!!
