My Side of The Story: Youth Fest '10

I've been postponing this post for way too long now. Anyway, from 28th to 30th last month, there was a youth festival at PWTC, KL and with TAJMA having a booth there, Yen Pin and I were sent there on duty. Having to be an exhibitioner for the first time, I really didn't know what to expect except the crowd and high levels of noises and I was spot on with those two. Lol.

Anyway, throughout those three days, Yen Pin and I were pretty much bored at most times. When we were at the booth and we just sat there, assisting visitors. We had about over 300 visitors over the weekend. But personally, I've learnt to deal better with people. Keeping one particular father patient was not an easy feat. He was so determined to have all 3 of his kids taking TAJMA profiles but he wasn't so happy with the queue during which talking to him about why it is better to take it at the fest was better (it cost RM38 to take it actually but at the fest, it was FOC) and so on helped.

We did however enjoyed walking around, visiting other booths. There were so many actually. Canon, Wigley's, Ciba Vision, Fly FM, NST, YouthSays, Firefly, Celcom, Rakan Muda and so many more. There was also a Battle of the Bands at a stage outside. Didn't bother listening though. When it comes to Malaysian bands, they can play instruments but not sing. Something they overlook, I suppose. Ask Ma Lee and she would tell you the same. Lol. No offense alright? =) Oh yeah. At NST's booth, they were looking for Mobile Journalist and I signed up for it. I've posted 2 articles so far. Under E4U (that's Entertainment for You) and Sports. I don't know if they are up already or not but do check them out at U-Phoria. I know my byline is. It's under We are MoJos. Read them and comment them or something ok? Best articles of each topic gets RM50 reward each month. So show some love and support! Lol. And at the Firefly's booth, we signed up for a trip to Pangkor Island. But something came up now and I am unable to attend it. =(

Next there was also this whole other hall which was dedicated to sports, dancing and shopping. For sports, there was futsal of course. We saw a few matches. Some were good and some were just ok. There was also basketball, 3 on 3 but I am not a fan. Going back to futsal, there is something interesting. There was this tournament which only needed two players going against each other in a cage. Yen Pin said it reminded her of cockerels fighting. Lol!

Lastly, another section had conferences and concert by Red FM, Hot FM and Fly FM.

Over the three days, UTM fixed us up at Rumah Tamu UTM by the way. It was apartment style and being just the two of us, it gets creepy at night. For me at least. Lol. It had three rooms but we decided to stay together. I don't know if Yen Pin was really scared or she just wanted to calm my fears though. Lol. Everybody knows I am the bigger chicken anyway. =(

Oh yeah! Also at the fest, they had this whole alley with graffiti. It was so cool. They even had someone from Singapore and Australia drawing them.

We also did some adventure of our own during our free time in KL. On our first night there, we managed to walk all the way to KLCC. It took us about 20 minutes. How did we do it? JUST WALK TOWARDS THE BUILDING. Lol. It really worked. The part where we have to cross roads is scary though. People in KL drive so fast!!! I had to always hold Yen Pin's hand too. And she calls me mummy. Hmph! The next night, we ended at KLCC again. This time, we met 3 dinosaurs! Foon Yee, Soo Chen (who is getting thinner that she looks sick!) and May Peng. They actually went to PWTC but we had already left by then. So we decided to meet up at KLCC. We had fun. I've missed them so much since we started our internships. It was just so good to see them. Miss them already! Lol

Well, that's my report for not (I know I still owe one post about my internship! Lol). Anyway, I'll leave you with photos from my trip to KL. Photos are credited to Yen Pin (she is my personal photographer, really). =)
