I got a phone call from 95% Advetising Academy on mon stating that I was selected to enter the second round, shocked and surprise as the following wed is the actual event. So i assume, probably there are a num of students unable to attend, therefore some of us who wasn't that active(so-call-waiting-list..lol) got selected. Among 7 ALFA students, 5 of us got selected to second round,which are Rachel Loo, Rachel Chu, Alan, Naufal and me of cuz!

Well, anyway, today the second round was held at The Garden Ballroom Hotel-5th floor. We had to arrive by 9am.. As usual, Malaysia time, the event start at 9.30am.... Breakfast was provided by the hotel... Awesome, need not spent money.. haha.. Rachel Loo and I was in the same team- Orange Group. While Naufal in yellow team, Rachel Chu in red team and Alan in blue team. I notice quite a num of familiar faces from the first workshop I went. Apparently, there are about 20 students from the same workshop got selected...

the stage...

The ECDs.....- introduction in progress by MC

Anyway, the event started with a short Apple advertisement..lol.. The MC is apple user, what to do.. haha... The MC introduced to us all the 6 ECD included the Director of 95% Advertising Academy, Janet. Each of ECD are given probably 1-3 minutes to talk introduce themselves. After that, Ms Janet gave us the brief and we're are to be seated in our respective groups. One table of 5 ppl... My group was conducted by Mr. Yap Pow Hoong, ECD of Milk +Co. My group members are me, rachel loo, Emi(from UTAR), Sue and Wai Kin(from Lim Kok Wing).

My group!! (from left- Emi, Sue, Wai Kin, Me, Rachel)

Our task was to think of an idea to encourage youth to visit MTV SWITCH website- that talks about the go green issue... also to be part of it to save our earth/contribute so they would visit the site frequently- i assume. We came up with various ideas... Proposed to Yap Pow Hoong, he likes the ideas but encourage us to develope something more extraordinary, something totally different from others that gives a big impact. We cracked our head for hours and hours... but the ideas are all normal. Even when the time almost up, we're still rushing to write down all our ideas onto a mahjong papers... I guess we're the only group that comes up with /proposed 7 different ideas.. lol.. -cuz Pow Hoong said whatever idea you have in your mid just let it out. So we did what he said.. haha....

Around 3pm, everyone are asked to leave the hall while judges goes table by table to choose the best ideas and 2 tables(10 students) will be rewarded a tix to Kancil Award Ceremony 2008!

Outside, while waiting for the result, light snacks was served... there were meatballs, roti canai and curry chicken. For dessert, was cookies.. And guess what? those are my lunch! Cuz they said we only have half an hour break, therefore all of us didnt go out for lunch.

Around 4 something, we're allow to enter the room. Winners were announced... photo section was taken... Congratulates to them! haha.. And Rachel Chu was one of the winner! Congrates!
Q&A section was conducted for bout 15 minutes... After that was group photo section before we depart.

It was definitely eye opening to attend the 2nd round workshop. As i able to witness how ECD works.. and gain knowledges.... But i would prefer to work under Jeff Oor, the grandfather of ECD! lol....


got this free t shirt.. but it was the remaining stocks from last year workshop, so only few of us able to get it.
To be honest i have no idea who is Rahul Matthew...

Oh ya, Congratulates to Obama as well!! for winning the election and for being the first black man to lead the country. Guess this year everyone wants a change just like Malaysia.. during our country election at the beginning of the year- remember?
