The Resurrection

It's been almost half a year or maybe more since I last posted anything onto this site. Haha. Felt a little too lazy already. I'm currently managing another blogsite, a joint-project with a friend. That site is slightly more 'public' :)

Updates:
  1. I'm working as an intern with Carat Media Services, Damansara Heights. I'm coming to the end of my 3rd week & at present, i'm working on 2 projects, the Carat-Malaysian Tourism Board extranet & the 'Postmaster'. I'm in the research dept. & work is not exactly exciting. Yeah, there's a bit to learn, especially on media terms, but other than that, it's not the most exciting job :)
  2. The last most exciting thing in my life besides having found my long-lost Primary 1 classmate, Aiza, on Friendster, is my trip to South Korea. I was there for 11 days for the 14th All Asians Debating Championship.

Ok, concerning the All Asians, I was there from the 6th-16th of May 2007. There were 6 debaters & 2 officers who went from my uni, UMP. We left on the 5th night to KK and then to Seoul after that. The flight was somewhat fun since it was my first time on an airplane :P It took us almost 8 hours to get there though.

There were 8 days of debates, of which 1 day was dedicated to the Day Tour to Seoul. The competition was very fun :) I met a lot of people from all over Asia & had a gang of friends to hang out with at the end of the day ;) My team completed the 8 prelim rounds while the other team went to the double octo-finals. Each night, there'll be social events & it's an eye opener to the culture in Korea for me.

I had a lot of fun during the Day Tour where I went to Seoul & spent an entire day out of the debating village, Paju English Village, with Sam, a friend from Korea. We met up with Laurence from Taiwan, Bum Ki from Korea, & a bunch of Japanese in the evening, where we joined them for dinner & fellowship :P We came back only late at night, tired & sleepy, but very excited..hehe.

Our last day there was really sad. I felt heavy-hearted to leave Korea & the new found friends that I found there. I decided to change my flight ticket & stay back for 2.5 more days! Hehehehe...I ended up staying at a Vietnamese friend's place. We call him Long & he's studying MBA in Korea...i stayed with him & his wife for 2 nights :) I spent the rest of my days in Korea finishing the places with Sam, who was the only one free (not because I purposely chose Sam). I took loads of photos in Korea, well, good enough la...haha. If u would wanna see some of the pics, just go to this site. I've uploaded some of the pics there :P

Ah well, I'll 'try' to keep this blog alive. I decided to post up something here today cos I'm pretty free now & don't really have work to do in the office...hahaha. Anyways, it's time to leave the office ;) Almost everyone is gone now. There's a Media Services Award ceremony at Shangri-la Hotel today & most of the ppl here are involved in it one way or another. Tarala!
