The Bulletin/Article Writing Workshop

The course started Fri evening 29 Oct to Sun evening 31 Oct.

So a day before the workshop there was 1 final exam paper & the day before that there was a candidature defense session that we had actually asked for excuse due to impending due date for the qualitative asgmnt (+ the xm to prepare for?!). In the end, we had to endure it all. Oh, did I mention? Our interviewee didn't come on the appointed time. So our last resort was to do an online interview with 2 different people that very night.

I made arrangement wit NI to have her spend the time at the budget hotel with me & do what she could do with the asgmnt first while I attend the workshop. She became my driver to &; from the workshop venue. Apparently there was a couple who were among the workshop participants spending the nights at the hotel also. NI gave them a lift on the final night & last day of the workshop as suddenly their car broke down. They were really nice couple, committed in sharing & conveying health issues through their blog (the husband is a doctor).

Well, i was a bit disappointed that my workplace did not send anyone to the workshop. Being the main centre of u-know-what, this workshop would help in preparing the annual bulletin etc. But then, if I were to put myself there & happened to be chosen, it would be quite a dilemma for me also. Can't bear to think of the workload I would have to shoulder while away on course.

Anyhow, initially I was supposed to attend the workshop with a free mind..until that qualitative asgmnt made its grand entrance in the last class. I was so thankful that NI could join me at the hotel & we discussed on the asgmnt once i returned from the workshop, which was abt 11pm each night. She did her part quite good while i was at the workshop.

I was lucky to have received email abt the workshop fr RS and was able to enjoy the discounted fee being the early bird. The participants received a certificate, a complete notes files & invaluable tips, plus very hearty meals! I kept telling the management that the food they prepared for us were so mewah!

One of the workshop gurus put a tulah (sort of a curse) on us participants; if we did not produce any article within a week after the workshop, all the knowledge/tips we gathered there would be lost. UH-OH...

Points to remember &never repeat after this;
It is illegal to upload photos/videos or copy song lyrics then paste/put to blog etc. without the consent/permission of the rightful/original owner.

Hmm, this is going to be hard...

p/s: I'm sure one of the gurus, was a classmate in a feature writing class I took while in iium.
p/p/s: I wish I could stay another night in Wangsa Maju & explore the area like a tourist :p
p/p/p/s: Our qualitative asgmnt, was made as example for the seniors to refer to ;) Alhamdulillah...
