A Gathering with the Senior Citizens

Posted by Mei Wern , Labels: , , Saturday, February 2, 2013 11:55 PM

      I finally had the time and commitment to attend my first Girl Guide event for the year. After doing some reflection, I realised it has been quite a while since I last blogged about girl guide events. OMG, that proves how long I've been missing in action?!

        Okay, let's get back to our main topic here. Today's event was held at Vistana Hotel and was attended by groups of senior citizens from various societies like Methodist Church, Cancerlink Foundation, MAB (Malaysian Association For the Blind), YMCA etc.

       I was given my responsibility as soon as I stepped into the ballroom. =_= I know right, typical Puan Toh! Instead of receiving those usual morning or welcome greetings, what I got from the first person I met up with was "Mei Wern, your job is to be my photographer today. Okay, make sure you take every single performance and each table with Dato' Yeoh and......." *Sorry, I didn't capture the rest of her instructions 'cause I was distracted by others*

Yeah, I am indeed the long lost dinosaur xD
Le photographer of the day. Haha Credits to Pui  Leng
      Nevertheless, I managed to carry out my spontaneous duties without a sweat (although I was technically running up and down like a mad woman, trying to get photos while having my lunch). A Girl Guides is always prepared for whatever tasks/duties she's given. *Always be prepared* LOL By the way, the task I was given was a piece of cake. Haha =_="

     I enjoyed all the performances especially the band, D' Amigos. The lead singer amazed us with her fine voice and multilingual singing talent. If I'm not mistaken, she sang songs in Malay, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and English. OMG, she seriously deserved a standing ovation. *thumbs up*

Girl Guides with the band members of D' Amigos :D
      Overall, the event was a success despite the one-hour delay. Everything else went pretty well and the food was truly satisfying. xD I think what I enjoyed most besides the performances was having the chance to meet up with my old Guiding buddies, teachers and my juniors. It was nice to be a part of Guiding again. :D 

      Okay readers, I don't plan to type out a newsletter-long post so that's all from me tonight and I'll let the photos below do the talking. ENJOY :D

Annual Campfire Night '10

Posted by Mei Wern , Labels: , Sunday, November 21, 2010 8:27 PM

O.o This year, we organized the annual Girl Guide Campfire again! This time, the organizer is Maxine and me.... co-organizer and temporary emcee :D The event didn't turn out as the way we had it planned but at the end of the day, it was still worth it! We had to share the HQ with a wedding event this time and to make things 'better', the sky cried as we were having fun at the field (RAIN T____T)
12th November 2010
Most of us stayed overnight on Friday to prepare for the big event :D But we had the worst sight of the dumping area. We had to cleaned up the most awful sight I have ever seen! O.o Oh well, we treated that one-hour community service as our kerja amal for Moral. hahaha Hitting two birds with one stone, awesome!
Cleaning up the drains, pavement and corridor

Chaw Hui, Ayesha, Carolyn and Puteri Najwa

I pity everyone including myself due to the horrible smell we had to endure that time..

Guess what people, the best thing ever! MAGGOTS ON THE RUBBISH BAG?! hahaha

See.. our efforts actually cleaned the whole area XD
After everything, we rested for a while and Pn. Toh brought us to Mid Valley :D Dinner was all on her at McDonald's! After we ate, we went grocery shopping at Carrefour and WE BOUGHT LOTS OF THINGS.
Ayesha.... Maxine and Carolyn pushing the trolley :D

This is the 'best' photo ever! Look at Maxine HAHAHAHA
As we were on the way back to the headquarters, I got a call from Alyea. She was waiting outside the gate for us. Unfortunately, we were stucked in a jam for quite some time and the next thing I know when we arrived was, we saw Alyea over the gate. Even Selina and her friend climbed over... omg, pity them wei! haha
13th November 2010
Then, the day came! Towards the afternoon, all Food-committee members were busy cooking in the kitchen where as the others had to help with the Upacara Terbang Naik. When evening fell, all participants started coming. Campfire's introduction with the fire and fireworks were awesome eventhough we were sharing the joy with an Indian wedding in the hall XD
Chai Sin and me :D
AJKs of the Campfire :D
Game session in the dark HAHAHA Frankly speaking, it wasn't that dark. Lousy camera effects.. -_-

Smoky Me

Posted by Mei Wern , Labels: , Friday, August 6, 2010 10:55 PM

The juniors carried out their outdoor cooking test today and guess what, Maxine and I busy bodily supervised them and got ourselves covered in soot! -_- It has been a very long time since I last stepped into the hq and experience Girl Guiding tests again~ Wow, it felt great wanting to get involved again by helping the juniors.


At least, with Maxine and my supervision... the juniors passed with a condition which is to finish their log book by 28-29 of August. Phew, I thought they weren't able to finish in time as the weather was so uncertain and honestly, you girls are still not pro in taking care of the fire and easily give up! Haiz, hope that you can learn from your mistakes as you will need it for your Permit.

So for that, I would like to congratulate all the juniors for willing to endure the lecture of Pn. Lucy and able to handle the stress during those 4 hours.

RETURN HOME, SMELLING LIKE SMOKE AND SHOOT

Centenary Friendship Trail

Posted by Mei Wern , Labels: , Sunday, June 13, 2010 11:46 PM

Today, all Queen Guides 2010 had to organize an hour program for the Centenary Friendship Trail participants, Guiders and high commissioners. Well, Alyea and I were the emcees of the day (SHE DRAGGED ME IN!) haha Basically, we were told that 250 people will be coming but...

Does this seems like 250? Nah, I think its less than 200...

All Queen Guides at their position

In my opinion, I think we handled the program kinda well although we did not have time for the rest of the program that we prepared for them. I guess the one we prepared was more for a two-hour session. haha After the Queen Guides session with them, the program continued on with the planting of trees.

All the VIP's with Queen Guides sheltering for them... I want too! :D

Puan Habibah showing a nice pose
Dato' Yeoh and Mrs Lau watering the newly planted tree during the 'best' weather of the day when the sun was right above our heads. haha

Miss Syaminee and Puan Zaliza showing another beautiful pose..

Tree no. 9 : All the volunteers and Guides' mom showing a great effort planting that tree.

Finally, Tree no. 10: All Queen Guides' tree!!! :D

Overall, it was a great and HOT day! haha The healthiest lunch of the day was ME eating 3 rounds of ice cream and two buns because the food catered LOOKED TO SPICY FOR ME! So it was a NO NO....

Till the next post, ADIOS! :D

Queen Guide Award In Marriott Putrajaya

Posted by Mei Wern , Labels: , Tuesday, June 8, 2010 10:25 PM

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)

Roommies with logbooks...

Yinming, Carolyn with her camera and Chaw Hui with a pink teddy bear...

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.

Before we went, a photo of all KL Queen Guides and Commissioners

A photo of Alyea's aunty and room 860 roommies

The speech from Datin Seri Paduka Rosmah Mansor

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.

  2. My parents
  3. All KL commissioners
  4. My Queen Guide mates
