The moment every Queen Guide candidate has been waiting for had finally come! All 44 of us stayed for 3 days and 2 nights in Marriott Putrajaya to accept our Queen Guide Award on the 8th of June. We were supposed to accept it from the Queen but she fell sick so Datin Seri Paduka Rosmah Mansor had to replace her. :(
Oh well, lets start with the first day. Sara, Zhen Ning and I supposed to be roommates in room 860 as we checked in quite late compared to others. But Zhen Ning swapped rooms with Shereen and Alyea moved into our room so....
Roommates of Room 860 are Mei Wern, Sara, Alyea and Shereen. :D
Our beloved room had a really nice view. Seee.... There's a pond and a golf course and a fountain.
The first half of the day was a TALK from a newspaper reporter. IT WAS SO BORING! Everyone did not pay attention to the talk also. I was texting and playing handphone games for the whole time.
After that talk, we had an hour's break as we rested and watched tv in our rooms. At 7.30pm, we came down to the lobby and headed to Summer Palace, thinking that dinner will soon be served. What a joke, I tell you?! Instead of waiting for our food, we had to listen to another talk about human trafficking. OMG, everyone was starving until 9.30pm when they served the dishes after the talk.
KL Queen Guides...
After dinner, all of us returned to our rooms with enthusiasm. I knew that we were going to stay up for the night. haha
LOOK, all my roommates were on the phone except FOR ME!
2nd Day
The next morning, none of us were able to wake up although the alarm has been snoozing for quite a while. We were supposed to be at the lobby by 7.oo am at least, for breakfast but we woke up at 6.52am. hahaha So we panicked and rushed off and came down at 7.15am. We thought we were VERY late but actually there were others who came later than us!
Truthfully, I had the best breakfast ever in my whole life (Can't really describe it here, Sorry)! After that sumptuous breakfast, we waited for the bus at the lobby for our next program in SMK Presint 11(2)

On the way out of that very new school..
After our session in SMK Presint 11(2), we continued our program with a tour around Putrajaya. Sorry to say, it was the worst tour I have ever been! Instead of going out and taking photos and visit, we actually sat in the bus and listened to the tour guide, explaining to us about every building. The microphone wasn't even working so all I heard from the back of the bus were vowels (a,e,i,o,u) At least, we captured some photos from the bus... hahaha
The green building I often see on TV.
Me, Alyea and Shereen
Look at the bushes... UNIQUE RIGHT?
A view from above.. A very nice landscape indeed!
After the tour, we headed back to the hotel. Before looking at the program, I knew that we were going to have another talk before rehearsals in the evening. The only exciting part of the second day was dinner at Seri Perdana.

All the beautiful gifts from states of Malaysia in her house.
The dinner was heaven for me as I ate a lot! hahaha We were entertained by performances which made us laughed and loosen up ourselves. KL Guides and Commissioners actually did choral speaking on stage but wasn't a success. Haiz.... The event was over at 11.30pm
3rd Day
Finally the ultimate day has came! Before the award, I went to the toilet for a nice face wash so that I can avoid sleeping during the speech.
Alicia and Me
During the speech, almost everyone fell asleep. Even I fell asleep as I can't help it! Oh well, the day ended with lunch with my family. AND I FINALLY HELD MY QUEEN GUIDE CERTIFICATE AND BADGE!
Accepting the award from Datin Seri Paduka Rosmah Mansor
All our effort has finally paid off after 2-5 years for some of us. I hope all my posts about my guiding life for these two years will help guides (readers) to achieve Queen Guide award too. Before I end this post, I would like to thank a group of people who helped me throughout these two years.
