It's not about the money. It's about the experience.

Yes just like the other universities,
My UMT actually has a lot of happenings too =)
For example,

Banner for the cultural night.

The Chinese Students Representative of UMT is going to organize a cultural night this coming Saturday!
This is actually a yearly event and only the first year students are involved in planning it.
And I am proud to say that I am one of them! =)
I am under the protocol and souvenir team...

Surprising enough huh?
Because previously all I did was complaining about how stressful my life is and now I am joining even more activities to make my life more miserable?
This is because................,
Someone once told me that, your GPA will only get you the interview but your soft skills get you the job.
So, I am actually joining more activities hoping that I can improve my soft skills.

Ya I can't lie about all the extra stress I have been facing in preparing for this event.
Especially recently when the event is only 1 week away.
For example,
Planning the gifts for the guests with limited budget.
Learning the ways the serve the guests with proper manners.
(This might sound easy but we have to be polite throughout the whole event which is actually a very big deal to someone like me)  

But despite all that,
I had lots of fun too!
Just an example which happened recently.
A carnival was organised in order to raise fund for our cultural night.
And I was involved too.
Indirectly.
Our job was simple.
What we need to do is to help our friends from other races to translate their names into Chinese characters and write in calligraphy into bookmarks which only cost RM1!
And the response was seriously overwhelming!
And my job was "pulling" customers, translate their names, promote about our cultural night and also collect S 11 =)
I wasn't involve in the calligraphy part because I know that I will definitely receive complains from the customers because of my ugly handwriting.
So I leave that part to my groupmates.
They are a thousand times better than me.
Haha.

I was happy to see the smile on every customer's face when they received their bookmark with their Chinese names on it.
Especially when they had fun learning how to pronounce it and also writing it.
Laughter from them was a motivation for us to keep working.
They even helped us to promote to their friends too!
So touching.
The bookmark will be kept properly forever as a memory, RM1 is worth, they said.

And I was also happy to work together with all my groupmates.
Not only my groupmates,
But also the other committees who also put a lot of effort to make this whole thing a success!
I will definitely remember all the laughter and fun we shared.
Happy to know a lot of new friends.
From awkwardness to teasing each other.
In only 3 days.
Fast huh?
Haha...
We made a good team I have to say.
We cooperated well. =)
With that,
We earned a lot from the boomark for the cultural night.
Surprisingly!
At least more than we expected.
But it's not about how much money we gained.
It's about what we experienced.
Although the whole process was very tiring,
But all of us,
Every single one of us,
Enjoyed and feel that it's worth it to sacrifice so much just to exchange for the success of our night.

Too bad the carnival is over.
But the good news is we still have another time to work again together.
Which is the cultural night.
Will cherish the moments we are about to spend together.
One week!
Gambateh my friends!
Hope that our friendship will still blossom after everything is over.

Groupmates sekalian =P
*spot my tumbler* =)

I really hope that our cultural night will be as successful as the previous years.
Lets work together and make it happen!
I think that's all for today.
Rest well. =)




















Not forgetting you,
I miss you and
I love you baby. =)
