All I can say is: "Boo Pn. Yeong, Go 5S1!"
I'd have loved to blog more about it, but yeah, no pictures and mostly negative stuff in the beginning. But what an achievement we've made!
Note: PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN WAS BORING (kk stop throwing rotten eggs at me!)
Maybe because I was extremely tired that day that I couldn't enjoy the movie. :( OHOH the mermaids were the best part though! Since there were no hunks to look at.
Then Wednesday came by and I had to pack my bags and set off for Alor Star forrr... *drum rolls*
It stands for Bright Roving Annoying TeenagerS, a young journalist program sponsored by The Star Malaysia.
Haha it sounds so funny typing The Star Malaysia because I can practically hear myself saying that in my head after my name in that hilarious video!
To be honest, I didn't really know that we were going to learn about journalism. I thought that we would be split into groups depending on our talents and what we applied for. But noooo. We get to learn interview skills, writing skills, photography and videography all in the first two days of the workshop.
Haha well, it's good I guess. I get to learn how to write too!
Oh btw, BRATs totally changed my perspective on social networking! Haha. And inspired me to continue blogging. That's why this is the second post of the day!
I get to meet all the awesome people like Niki Cheong, the sarcastic yet funny editor of R.AGE, Ian Yee (who have been hugged by Lady Gaga), a columnist in R.AGE who mostly talks about football, Melody, a journalist who had interviewed the likes of Leornado DiCaprio and Johnny Depp and Jason Lioh the famous blogger and a very good photographer indeed!
Sorry, I still can't get over the hype that they've met all the famous celebrities.
We split into three teams, the WHATs which is short for Weird Hyper-Active Teens, Team X and How I Met Your BRAT.
Haha. Creative right? Wait till you see the video of their performances on the last night of the workshop.
Kay, on more personal stuff now. Haha. I have a confession to make. I've never left home without my family or friends with me before. EVER. This is like my first time going to a foreign place without knowing anyone and surviving four days there.
Haha. My roommate was awesome! Haha I'll always remember her as the first roommate of my life! Shoot I'm getting a bit sampat liao. Her name is Shu Wen and she's from PJ. And she's a prefect! (Reminds me a lot of my mom) Hey that's a compliment k! :P
The err not to say hard lar, embarrassing, is the correct word. The embarrassing part about sharing a room with somebody is.. [Well, I don't think I should get any further with this, haha.]
YEAH AND THE HOTEL WAS FREAKIN' COLD. All of us had to wear jackets when it comes to night time.
THE WHATs
We went to Mahathir's house on the second day and to a paddy field on the third day. To be perfectly honest, I think that Mahathir's house was a tiny bit boring. Haha. The usual stuff about how great Mahathir was as he was a doctor cum politician. And how he managed to study even though the first ice factory in Kedah beside his house was making a lot of noise.
The paddy field was awesome lah kay. The view was great! Although I was sweating like nobody's business. But it was worthwhile! Haha.
Group shot! :D
Can you find me?
Jason Lioh took this! See see see his blog address! And go read his blog! So sad to hear that he plans to shut it down. :(
So yeah, might as well post all the pictures I took over there. :P
The theme was "green".
They were giving us lessons on how to take a good photo and this was trial lar. :P The theme was "green". We had to take pictures of something green to be submitted and criticized by the facilitators in front of everyone. LOL. Kla it wasn't that chi gek lar.
The paddy field.
I wonder how it turns out to be next month?
Cuz it's harvesting season, if I'm not mistaken! :D
There were lots and lots of dragonflies flying around.
I wanted to capture one flying with the blue sky and the green field as the background but that would be very, very, immensely difficult for me to do it. :(
Err, another view of the field!
The farmer's wife and her kids.
Sorry I'm a horrible journalist. I've forgotten all their names LOL.
MY FAV PICTURE!
She was showing me the fishes they've just bought from the market and her smile is sooo natural!
My favourite picture among the rest!
He was "membaja"-ing sawah padi. Demo version.
Aww cracked soil. Look at the shell of a snail! There were actually quite a lot of them on the ground.
See see snail shell.
New technology. Compared to using buffalos.
The house on the left, the orange one is the farmer's house.

Taaddaa! To prove that we stayed up late eating junk food. XD
I actually had one with packets and wrappings of junk food sprawling on the table but lazy to find liao lah.
Spent the whole afternoon blogging d.
Haha oh well, dinner, now!
Oh wait, dinner has to wait. I haven't said anything about AFS interview yet! Yes, I went to apply for AFS. It was nerve-wrecking and a little bit scary but I might say, it went okay. I really hope I get it! OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE. *fingers crossed*
