My MBA Graduation

Yes! Finally I made it! The journey was rough some days but I'm glad i made it. Few years back, after completing my degree, i was so eager to take up Masters just for the sake of taking it up. I’m truly blessed as my father is sponsoring me. But on the other hand, i felt that i wasn’t prepared and solely taking advantage that the fact I do not have to pay a single cents (I know its bad). Besides, it seems not right to jump into fire without working experience. How to relate to case study? How to tackle problems and most importantly, critical thinking. I’m definitely lack of that skills. Two years later, i decided to quit my job and pursue my Masters. Not only to fulfill my dad’s wish but also to push myself, how far i can go and how much i can achieve in life.

These are a few words I would like to say to my family and dear:

“ I would not have this achievement without my family. My parents, who always guide me when I'm lost, support me endlessly without questions and most of all, love me unconditionally. To my siblings, thank you for cheering me up when I'm down especially my sis, who will always be there when i needed her. My dear, thank you for being my back bone, my pillar of strengths and most importantly, love me in a way that no one could ever love me. A million thanks from the bottom of my heart. I love you all so much. ♥ ♥ ”

The ceremony was held in Putra World Trade Center (PWTC), Dewan Merdeka. Arrived around 8.20am and it was already packed.

Taiwan 2010 – Day 1 @ Shangrila Leisure Farm, YiLan

Deepavali is always a nightmare for me and my family for the past 5 years as we lived in Indian Street.  Really bad traffic and jam like mad just to get back home even in the middle of the night. Thank god this year, my company organized a trip to TAIWAN (5 days, 4 nights) ! How fortunate. *Skips skips skips*. Happy to say that everything went smoothly, no changes in flight schedules (tickets were purchased 7 months in advance) which cost about RM700++ per person. Ok right?

 

There are a few things that tourists must know when in Taiwan.

1. After using the toilet (big or small business or even aunt's visit), do not throw the tissues into toilet bowl. Throw them into dustbin provided inside T___T

2. There are hardly any rubbish bins in sights and best to keep the rubbish until you found one. (The street was so clean that you would not even consider throwing on the floor)

3. The bus exit and entry is on your right, instead of left.

4. When crossing the road, please look LEFT first only follow by RIGHT! (or else you might end up with serious injuries)

 

Long story short, we arrived in Taiwan around 2 something, proceed to luggage, ding dang ding dang……. and the tour guide came and pick us up. Based on the itinerary, it was supposed to be free and easy night in Taipei. However, plans changed for  the better. The bus brought us to Yi Lan from the airport which took about an hour or so.

Taiwan’s packaging was so creative.

Here we are in ShangriLa Leisure Farm. Sweet~ but too bad, it was drizzling the entire time.

Dinner time! Rachel and May, my cousin.

 

White rice

Typical Chinese style dishes and very very sweet “limau”.

Releasing “Kongming” lantern

Kongming lantern was invented by Zhuge Liang whose reverent term of address (Chinese style name) was Kongming. They were first deployed at the turn of the 3rd century as a type of signaling balloon or, it is claimed, as a type of spy blimp in warfare. Alternatively the name may come from the lantern's resemblance to the hat Kongming is traditionally shown to be wearing. Source: Wikipedia.

Do we look alike? Me, my younger sis and my elder brother, Silver. (Yes, that’s his name)

 

Shangrila Farm’s Map

Variety of games; dropping the bear =_=” and making HUGE bubbles…

The scenery from room’s window was breathtaking in the morning. Too bad, it was drizzling and had to check out soon.

Journey to breakfast… Breezy and so refreshing. Love this place a lot!

P/s: I’m sorry that I do not know how much the room cost per night. However, if interested, the details are listed below.
