When Malaysian meet Hong Konger

   I wanted to share something. Something that made a great impact in my life.

             

           A wonderful experience with a bunch of lovely peoples who arrive from Hong Kong! I was so glad that I step out of my comfort zone, and made it an interview with Mr. Albert., advisor of Community Service Initiative of Taylor's University Lakeside Campus. Out of the blue, I was elected as Project and Event Management Director of CSI! As a student representing Taylor's University, I was proud that I was given a chance to contribute and add value to my school :)  I promise that I will contribute even more as I really love to help people. It was my dream to help people since young.  Before dragging too far,  let's come back and talk about the main purpose of writing this blog!

My first ever mission, being one of the committee member of CSI , we are giving a chance to lead the group of people form HKIED (The Hong Kong Institution of Education)  and bring them around Malaysia to perform community service as well as visit some famous places in Malaysia! Five day four night is rather short for us, so our plan just include some minor visitation to some representative place of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. I was always excited for this moment to come ! Even I need to give up my holiday, time spent with family but its all worth it !

Day 1 (26/7/2014)
             

        My first ever experience holding a cardboard with a title of "Welcome HKIED" in KLIA airport ! I will never forget the excitement running through my body ! We chat and played around for almost an hour while waiting for the bunch of HK student to arrived ! *really tired to stand for one hour. Yeap! The moment they arrived, every Taylorian put on a big smile on their faces and give the warmest welcome to them. Before meeting them, I was kind of worry will they be unfriendly ? will it feel weird if I approached them? Well, surprisingly the answer is they are so FRIENDLY and WARM ! Some of them start to introduce themselves to us and I was totally melt by their warmest welcome.

Photo taken last day in airport.

           Up to the bus, as one of their rules, they are required to sit single and let the other single seat filled up by another Taylorian. Well, I was rather lucky, a boy named Ah Shun approach me and sat beside me. He was kind of decent, shy yet extrovert. We chat a lot about ourself and the funniest thing he told me was he had to overnight at the airport alone as he was worry he could not able to wake up in the morning and miss the flight. In fact, there should be two of them staying over the airport but one of them couldn't made it so ya, left him sleeping in the airport alone! I laughed quite hard for that :D Ya, we have our great time on the way back to University.

         As usual, campus tour and ice-breaking session was carry out in the first day. I would say their ice-breaking games were fun and creative! Around 8pm, after our first dinner together, we left them for their own discussion and activity. It was the earliest day I reach home compare to the next four day! Here you go, photo of day one after friendship built :D

Value learnt : Friends uplift the Soul
                     Inter-culture different made us a better listener

Day 2 (27/7/2014)
        Wake up early in the morning after I slept late last night due to follow up some club works. However, it never reduced my excitement to meet these bunch of peoples! I had a slow walk to school with well dressed after my breakfast. When I reached the school, some of them already finish their breakfast provided by Ruemz Hotel. As what people do when they first came to our campus, they were attracted by the goose and duck beside the lake and most of them go have fun with the ducks! After briefing I join them as well, here is some picture taken in the sunny morning :D

This duck actually attack my phone when I trying to take it's picture >.<
*scary !

    Up to the bus, we headed to Putrajaya, a city which served as a federal administrative centre of Malaysia. I went here once with my family members and now, I went here with bunch of monkey :D We had a lot of fun and yes, photo boom !

 

 

Our First Group Picture :)

Happy Bunny Jump :D

Fail Bunny Jump by HKIED students XD haha!
 Haze made the photo a bit blur >.< Imagine how much haze we absorb during the trip !
Oh gosh ! Can't the haze just disappear ! It is so annoying man >.<

The world is full of unexpectancy! What happen next was we were invited for a MV filming ! They are from Indonesia and we were all invited for a dance during their shot! 

We are required to repeat the same dances for several times! And now we know being an actress is not that fun >.<



           
            After having some fun and MV shot, we went into the PutraMosque! It was pink in color and we were told that the pink-domed PutraMosque is constructed with rose-tinted granite and can accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers at any one time ! I can say it was a huge and elegant yet welcoming and beautiful prayer space. We are required to put on a red robe with a hood and yeah... it was so hot and basically my whole body is sweating inside >.<

I found myself so funny in the picture :) Like a rabbit XD

 

Taking picture with the spectacular Warisan Bridge, Putrajaya, Malaysia :

"Macam Yes gam XD Haha! I'm not a model but I like acting XD"

                                         This girl was out of her mind and keep acting here and there ! Lol!

 

   Seriously, we have taken a lot photo during the days. I would like to share each of them but due to long blog is annoying, therefore I try to make it short ! Just bear with me :)

     After Putrajaya Trip, we had our lunch and off we go to Batik Place. As an Malaysian, it was my first time take part in Batik Painting. I would say it was rather shame as from the picture above can see that I was like one of them happily enjoying the scenery of Malaysia. Okay, come back ! Here is some of the picture when we first step in these harmony batik area. I was wondering what was those people doing and then I found out I have the same mission as them where we were required to paint a batik with just three color: blue, red and yellow!

My little art piece that win the appraise ! Receive a batik letter as reward :D
I was so so so stunned ! Haha!

Photo Boom Session again with the random gang :D

Look there !

               Out of surprise, we meet two foreigner at the park and we were invited for Jam Music. It was so amaze as I never know that 20 of us with different music instrument with no practice come out with a good performance! We were rather enjoy during the whole Jam Music!

        The ever memorable dinner at Fierce Curry House ! First time using hand to eat rice! and I feel proud that I finish it very quickly and clean *due to hungriness ! Some of them refuse to use hand to eat while some of them were their first attempt :

              After the awesome dinner, we went for community service. We as a volunteer collaborate with Pertiwi Soup Kitchen distribute free foods and free medical support for the poor or beggar who sleep on street. I was kind of pity them and glad that there are someone in the world willing to spend time to help them. Sadly, there is a news that FT Minister tells KL Soup Kitchen to pay fine or move out ! OMG, their reason is just unacceptable >.< For more information : http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/move-out-or-pay-fine-ft-minister-tells-kl-soup-kitchens .
PS : No photo is taken as we are not allow to bring down any devices.

       After the event ended, it was already 12am midnight! Although its late, but the debriefing has to continue. I learnt a lot from the debriefing as that is the time everyone share their mindset and feeling. I was glad to be here with them. Good night :) Continue the following day in next blog.

Life is meant to be explored !
