Couple of days back.. The whole Career Exploration Week for the AusMat program begun. The first day was rather uneventful so I'll just skip to the second day, which was yesterday. It was the field trips and me and the others have signed up for a trip to TheStar Media Hub in Shah Alam.
Left for college round 10.30 to join Itianne and Gazi. T'was actually quite early as our trip was only scheduled to start at 1.30pm. Saw them playing some Spongebob game which was actually quite fun. What a way to relive your childhood days. You know those games you used to get in the 100 in 1 game cartridges on the GBA, otherwise known as the GameBoyAdvance. The one in which you guide a character over a maze of ladders over several different lvls trying to step on hamburger ingredients to make em fall down to the base while avoiding the enemies. Well, not exactly a vivid description but that's the best I can manage. Itianne reached lvl3, I reached 5 and Amanda took it all the way to like 10+++ OMG! So yeah we dawdled in the library quite a bit. Then me and Amanda took some IQ test in which Itianne described it more of a race "Omgosh they're answering at the same speed, neck and neck" LMAO. Yeah. Woots! Scored higher than Amanda. HAH IN YOUR FACE LOL
So we found Jo Keat at the SC (predictably enough) and gathered at the foyer. Somehow we dawdled a lil.. too much. 10 mins late :( In the end the trip left about 20 mins late as a result from sorting out attendance (not just us okay, stop putting the blame on us). Whee, first time I've been on a bus since I stopped taking it to college sometime mid-March. Slept the whole way there.
When we got there, we were told to wait for a while. I have no idea why so we killed some time the way how normal sane people do. Gather up, find a place to gather and sit..
Then played some Tribal Hand Clapping Game! Yeap, don't even ask for the details :D
So after what seemed like a day an hour, we finally made our way in. Went into some meeting room where we were briefed on the tour and were divided into 3 groups. Sadly, our tour was horribly mistimed as none of the machinery was on at the moment and there were no employees since manufacturing doesn't really go on in the afternoon. We weren't allowed to take pictures too as being in the media, they were pretty sensitive about security. The constant security guard following us proved as much.
Walked around, alot, got to see heavy machinery in action, got to experience the life of a TheStar employee for a day. Blinking lights, security alarms, printing towers, a warehouse of paper, yeah. It was quite the letdown to not be able to see the machine in action. However, they did have AWESOME CURRYPUFF! :D Now I have this fleeting desire to eat the local delight :D
Slept throughout the trip back to college. Seriously worn out. But once we got there, ran into Kelz, Watson, Prem, Jing, and Steven. Deliberated awhile on whether to go Pyramid anot
which we did. Went for pool with Itianne, Amanda, Gazi, Steven, Kelz :D
Yeah, good day :)
