CATALYST @ Starbucks

starbucks coffee.. must try greentea frappucino.. =p

My 3 weeks of holidays is filled with Career Carnival work which is mostly dealing with my team to call for companies for participation & sponsorship. Most local and private varsities' Career Fair is handled by their university's management centre. That's also somewhat special about UNITEN. I got to know only MMU, besides us had their career fair handled by students. I find this a plus point for the students as we do actually learn how to liaise with the corporate people, request for sponsorship, make calls and work out different methods to achieve our target.

1st season schedule.. all about ur career..

Apart from my work, I had also attended 2 workshops organized by the TalentEDGE company at Jaya1 Starbucks. WoW? Workshop at Starbucks? It's more like a night talk discussion session where you watched in 8TV late night (if you do, you will understand what i meant), except that this is way much more informative for us students regarding our future.

kenneth, SuSu and alfred @ Plugged..

The first season is an 8 weeks event entitled the Plugged series; which compromise 8 different topics every week as you can see in the schedule. The discussion involves not just students from various universities but also special guests from corporate world (even from the ministry). It's more like an open topic discussion focusing on career path rather than technicality on what you had learned in your varsities. This meeting will enable us students to interact with the potential employers and to understand what the job market is looking for at the moment; prospect employers (the guests) will be able to grasp on the thoughts of fresh graduates concern.

sleeping? or listening?

Those who are interested (students) can RSVP at catalyst@mytalentedge.com with your name, email, contact number, and university/college. Only 20 spots are allocated for students. UNITEN students who are interested can contact us @Career Unit (seen some of the familiar faces in the pictures?). There will also be 20% discount on the Starbucks beverages you purchase during the event at night. Worth it right, for those who crave for Starbucks coffee. You get to 'feast' on the food at a cheaper rate and on top of that, I believe you will obtain a priceless moment with the corporate figures. Follow the event more at twitter.com/talentedge ^^

lobster boss.. why bomb tiliban must always show the hand gesture? =.=!

Mr. Zakir, 1901 (hot-dog) co-founder.. a great man sharing his experience.. quote: "passion is what drives you out of your bed every morning" ^^

iynggra, single and definitely available.. a rare gem.. anyone interested?

the crowd..

in the 2nd session.. a choice of path..

the 5th session.. IQ vs EQ @ the Gardens..

There goes my 3 weeks of holidays. FYP2 progress = 0%. I am starting to feel the immense pressure and supervisor onslaught heat on my project. Thank God for the days through my varsities years and now left with the final semester to go. I am satisfied with the results achieved overall though it's not that excellent (started to accept the fact that maybe grades aren't the decisive point, you have other factors too which is far more important). I am hoping to achieve above than what I targeted in the end. 2 more subjects and a project to kill... ^^

Reality at work...

the future workplace... =.=!

478 Celebration @POHP..

October month is surely great! It's also a timely celebration before heading towards the usual final exam 'battle'. Lolx. Before going for war, we must also prepare ourselves emotionally right? The ancient Chinese wars those days always have a night of drink before heading for the great battle. Anyway, this post is about the post-birthday celebration with 2 of my heng-dais Ipoh friends; the first after knowing each other for the past 8 years. ^^

@POHP.. 2 yipoh lengluis becoming models for the shop? =p

Pondering back the days in LUI, we weren't quite close back then (except u 2 la). I am also wondering how did I got close along the way till today. Maybe that's the Librans fate? Hehe! Moreover, our birthday falls in the same week (somemore one is Yong-blooded). I suddenly remembered another Tan. ^^

October Babies.. ^^

Thanks to the organizer, Ms. Yong (why do I sound like I call you, SuSu?) the plan goes on without fail even though got postponed. It was great to meet you 'twins' (might have been twins if not just a day separating you both, maybe?) to talk and share 'interesting' stories. Even in KL or Ipoh, still it's so hard for us to meet up just because someone is super busy till one year only meet once, or twice? Hehe. So, the organizer (izzit?) randomly chose Paddington House of Pancakes (POHP) in Midvalley as the venue of the celebration. =p

herm.. seems like mcD morning breakfast set..

Italian-style pancake?

my food.. the pancake is so thin..

the best dishes of all.. strawberry pancake dessert.. yummy!

The food's okay. I would recommend for the pancakes rather than ordering the set actually. Overall, it's quite delicious and the environment is good for a place to dine in. The pancakes here is really special compared to the ordinary ones japanese pancakes sold outside.

yeeLing's disappointed with the dish?

wen zhi trying to tempt promo to her bf ke? bring him along la nxt time.. ^^

such a 'BiG' dish for me.. dunno how to start.. ^^

nxt year outing @Tenji? maybe yeeLing can bring 'someone' along also? oops..

thanx to yeeLing for the 'special' birthday present for us.. first time receive flower as a birthday present.. indeed yeng~!

Late post...

It's more than a month since my 22nd had passed. Well, nothing much to say; I am still who I am all this years except that I am much older right now. This year's birthday celebration was far far cleaner better than the past 2 years. This has shown that we were all grown ups, really. I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful wishes that I had received. I had my first 'official' celebration at Shogun, Sunway.

food!!! in Shogun...

I had tasted several Japanese Buffet restaurants around KL; Tenji & Jogoya to name a few. Honestly speaking, buffet is like what we pay to 'suffer'. You got me right! Greed is part of human personality and I am not exceptional ones. We always have the thoughts of value worth money. What we pay is what we should get, right? Pay RM 70 bucks for a meal and you do hope to eat that much of amount RM70 in return, thus leading to never-ending food congested in your mouth, esophagus and stomach until you are really bloated satisfied. We walked out of the restaurant in such a bigger shape and a longer distance between our legs like the penguin.

my younger brother, the first to tuck in...

Anyway, it's the sort of life that people like me can only afford once in a blue moon. I would only go for all these when there's a promotion going on. I still remember going to Jogoya 3 times in a month because of the buy 1 free 1 promotion. The 3rd time I went there, I seriously have the feeling of puking. Urgh!!!

too much of food???

I would rate Shogun 7/10. It seems the one at Sunway is far much better than 1 Utama. What say you, if you had tried? Still, the choices here are a little lesser compared to Tenji or Jogoya. Special thanks to my so-called 'Boss' for the day with me at Shogun besides my brothers. ^^

boss... dun play underground lar.... =p

Later that night (12am), it's the second round by my super-duper crazy wonderful gang in my varsity. Like what I had mentioned earlier on, it's the first matured peaceful birthday celebrated by them. It's also a memorable night for all Chelsea fans out there as Liverpool were beaten flat 2-0; all credits to Drogba for both of the assists. I had my fun watching both sides playing as a neutral fan. Liverpool's form was far in contrast to last season. Arsenal all the way!!! ^^

my weird patriotic 1 Malaysia cake.. the candle is the most special.. blow d still will be lighted? lolx!

thanx to Waizer for the mooncake... I didn't manage to go home for Mooncake Festival...

ghey Keat... thanx for the planning and 'ho-sua' cake...

A special thanks to my beloved gang too for the 'peaceful' celebration on that day. I am looking forward for our graduation trip in Phuket next May. My 'un-official' birthday was also great before that; imagine 2 clubs in a night and it's my first time! It's a badly uncled okay virgin club afterall for me, introduced by Chuen Hang. Next up, it will be on my post celebration with the October jimuis babies. ^^

ho-sua... haha... =.=!

really looks like you arr, Keat!!! ^^

Tandas...

Can you believe this, a 'high-class' public toilet in the middle of the road? Yes, that's right! You didn't get me wrong. In the hustle & bustle city environment, this toilet actually existed, in KL. Go to Sogo Shopping Complex to shop for your clothes or groceries and you will find the toilet I meant when you walk towards Pertama Complex...

tandas awam with our 'model'... lolx...

I was quite astounded to have come across this toilet; leaving the 3 of us in a curiosity state and temptation to explore this. (OMG, toilet only leh... nvr see b4 ka? u ppl from which kampung wan?) All it takes is just a mere 20 cents coin to test it out & of course to release my full-tanked bladder. The toilet seems cool from the outside, how about inside?

it's a completely programmed toilet, utilizing controller and electronics application...

flush-eD...

The best of all, the toilet is actually air-conditioned! The aroma was, just like an ordinary toilet. Haha! Nothing much about a toilet huh? Just an advance toilet at the middle of the road... It leaves me with no option but to snap up some pics... A toilet to fill up my post... lolx... ^^

spacious enough to camwhore also... rofl... xD

Back!!

It's kind of nostalgic to ponder back how 141,912,000 seconds (approximately 4.5 years) had just passed. So fast! That leaves me with a semester of 2 subjects and a project more to round up my bachelor years. How much the 'seconds, hours and so many days...' experience had changed me for a ma-ku better person (I hope) in my life... =p

bull-ing or being bull-ied??? as buLL as a BuLL at China Embassy... lolx...

So what's up next? That will be just spending the next 3 weeks of my holidays in my varsity for the very first and last time. What else? Project + Career Fair. I had no choice since taken up a position in the team under SuSu. How I wish to go back to my homey and have a good, good sleep on my lovely bed! Home sweet home! Anyway, I'll try to blog out something as much as possible for the coming days... ^^

whisk-choco from Beijing, a souvenir... no wonder i felt dizzy in lib while studying and always sleepy... =p
