and i'm back...

from a few months of being M.I.A. I just can't start writing... have been postponing this for a loooonnggg time.

So here's a few bulletpoints of what I've been doing for the past few months:

ING Helping Hands interview

Yup, i did a few interviews on behaf of my company.. :

Hello on Two - an English morning talkshow shown live on TV2.. it was live and i was super scared because that was my first time doing a TV interview.

Radio 24 (BERNAMA) - a Malay radio channel - it was pre-recorded so everything turned out fine except that my friend said i spoke malay with a slang ( i could not help it as I had to translate my English talking points to Malay! )

Berita Harian - became a spokesperson on behalf of the company talking about the ING Helping Hands initiative. The paper clipping combined the story on the Cleaning Up Day at Zoo Negara with nice pictures of our Helping Hands showin some luv for the zoo.

And a few taxing activities/ events that my team had to organise:

8 November - we brought about 100 strong team of ING Helping Hands volunteer to clean up parts of the zoo. Their tasks also included cleaning the lion's den (I saw the lion up close and personal! ), painting and more painting under the hot hot sun.. but those ppl really rocked! tak complaint pun .. :)

15 November - ING Day at Zoo Negara.
We were at the Zoo pretty early in the morning (but there were other visitors who were already waiting to enter and came much earlier than us).. it was a whole day event. We painted children's faces.. distributed 3000 lion masks, Zoo Hunt, recycling counter, and of course the most famous programme for the day - the ING Go Green Programme with Discovery LearningLabs.. they were fantastic!'

16 November - ING International Graduate Programme (IIGP) Connect 2008.
The second part of the 4-year programme. It was held in Hong Kong. I did not like HK the first day we got there.. HK is a bit too hectic for me. I prefer the serenity of Amsterdam specifically Leiden and the other name tht I cant spell nor pronounce properly.

Came back from Hong Kong and went straight to work organising the ING Chances for Children Charity Day 2008.

We brought in 50 children from two orphanages, organised a fun-packed day for them. At the same time our other colleagues opened up stalls selling cool stuff for charity. I was the emcee for the day.. was very tiring and I did not get to buy so many things because was too caught up with the day's activities.

other than all the company/ official stuff.. i went on a few GNOs (mizzy, curi ur line) Girls nite Outs.. berape kali? I can't recall.. will update on the nice stuff that I manage to buy for myself. I love my nice watch! yummy!
