Roar...




What a day. =) Contributing anything beneficial within my society is always my dream. Now, I have a chance. Today, my senior and I went to the WWF main office. We were lost at the LRT station and my senior, she forgot to take down the address. Gosh...the sun was kissing my forehead. Then, I asked the bus driver whether any buses passed by the WWF office. The driver was looking at me curiously, "WWF? Wrestling?" I was like... OH......Mak Kau....( aka OMG). I grinned at him and proudly explained what was it all about. It was okay then. We took cab. Ta..da... We had reached the office. Feeling excited and aflutter at the same time.
So, I opened the door and could actually feel the cool air from the low temperature air-con..I could see goosebumps on my hands. "Hello, Good Afternoon. I would like to ask more about the volunteering work." "Okay, are you all students?" " Oh, yes. (definitely)"  We waited for few minutes and scanning through the small basement office. I could see pictures, souvenirs, prizes, and certificates. I couldn't remember much as I noticed a Caucasian aged twenties or thirties with his 5 inches plait beard sitting there reading newspaper.
                 "Hi." A warm handshake was offered by him. I have forgotten his name. A brief introduction and his personal stories were shared. What I remember the most is we had very relaxing and entertaining chat. Unexpected laughter was burst by me. It was fun and educational. Even though we had that less than one hour chat, I did realized something that all of us can do to save the animals as well as the earth. I am hoping for more activities from WWF. *finger-crossed. ;)*

2nd Asean School Games 2010.

After struggling for the past  10 days. Okay. To be more precise, I joined 2nd Asean School Games 2010 as a Liaison Officer (12- 21 July). Overall, it was a mess. The program was not organized. Lack of fund (do you know Ministry of Education in Malaysia is broke? I wonder where the money goes...), guess what all the athlete and team managers were staying at UKM's hostel, could you imagine how ashamed of me, as a Liaison Officer? This is an international level school games and yet................ unavoidable complains from respective contingents such as Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia and Philippines. Not to forget, I got Singapore. Well, you know Singaporean. In order to "survive", my capacity of patience had been extended due to the circumstances. I learned and able to see, think and feel things differently (not completely of course, duh...). So called "volunteer" Liaison Officer, actually we went through interview and sadly no allowance had given to us. Looking at the bright side, I mingled,made more friends. My communication skills has improved and body languages that I can tackle more easily. Most importantly, I have found myself still has ample of room for me to improve in several skills. This is definitely a stepping stone for me towards success. =)
