Farewell Play N Learn!

As many of you know that after graduation I was working in Play N Learn. I had a great joy and fun during my time there.. Time passes very fast, and when I am unhappy the children will always be there to make me feel better by just talking or playing with them. My boss has always been very kind and patient with me.. She had always patiently advice and guide me during my tenure with her both during my full-time and part-time. Thank you boss for everything you have given me..

Yes, I left Play N Learn after one year due to some personal issues. But I went back working in Play N Learn as a part-timer. And of course I didn't make the wrong decision because I had great fun working there again.. When I resign as a full-timer, it was really difficult to bid goodbye to all the children that I loved. Therefore, I couldn't help, but again make a decision to go back and work part-time in order to be able to be with them. It was really enjoyable working with them and the parents.. The joy that I had experience during my full-time and part-time is beyond words.

I can't imagine how much sadness in me when Play N Learn 1 Utama had officially closed on the 31th of March! It was a very difficult decision for my boss to make this decision. Although it is sad but since she had decided, I should accept the decision and wish her all the very best. I understand her situation and thus she had to make this difficult decision. Is time for her to spend time with her wonderful kids and also to have more time for herself. The reason she decided to closed Play N Learn is attached below:

Therefore during the last weekend, my boss had decided to throw a farewell party for all the children and parents. Although it was a sad occasion but we also had a great time. During our last weekend together all the ex-full timers, ex-partimers, current full timers and part-timers came and join the farewell... It was fun and yet sad. You can see the kids were sad, the parents were sad and all of us were sad, but we continue to look and the bright side and enjoy ur last gathering together in Play N Learn.. It was really fun talking with everyone. As Stephanie said "Play N Learn is the place we met, we laughed, we cry and we shared.. Like a big family.

Here are a slideshow for you all to see the fun and wonderful time with boss, the parents, the kids, teachers and all my colleagues. Have fun viewing.

I am grateful that I had make a decision to work in Play N Learn. Now am able to know I really have a passion working with children. At first I wasn't very sure but since working in Play N Learn I know this is what i really wanted. I would like to specially thank boss for teaching, guiding and advising me during my ups and downs there. Thank you for always patiently forgiving me for all the mistakes and inconvenience cause to you. Thank you for always believing in me and always showing me the way.

Thank you to Stephanie for guiding, teaching and always there for me when I need her help. It was you who patiently guide me when I first started. Thank you for always being there to help me even after u resign. I sincerely thank you for everything and or cos always patiently forgiving me in all the mistakes i have done. It was a joy working with you. Thank you Ellan for the time I was there. Thank you for instructing and leading me on what do to. Is nice knowing you.

Thank you very much to all the wonderful parents.

Thank you to all the wonderful kids who are always there for me.. Is the joy to work with all the kids.

Am so going to miss all of you! Huggs and kisses to all the kids in Play N Learn!

Thank you for always staying back/always eating late or even skip lunch to help me when there are a lot of people on Saturday. I really appreciate all your help. You definitely make life easier.. It was super great fun working with you guys.. I hope you guys have great fun working with me too.. :) I would like to apologies to each and everyone of you if i have unintentionally hurt you.

Working in Play N Learn

Wow... Time passes soooo fast... I didn't realize that i haven't been blogging for almost a month plus de... Hahaha... When I started working I realise that i have even less time to maintain my blog... Practically everyday I wake up, go to work, come back, eat and then is time for bed.. and this is the routine since I started working.. During my off days, will meet up with some of my friends to catch up with them.. Is been almost 4 months since I started working.. Many might have known where I work but many also do not know where am working.. Am actually working in Play N Learn in 1 Utama.. So my working hours are from 10am to 9pm and on Sat is from 10am to 10pm.. Some ask me whether I enjoy myself working there.. Honestly am having fun working there... although is sometimes tiring but still fun... Colleagues there are also nice and friendly.. So ya, am still enjoying myself... Then some of you asked me why work there?? The easiest answer is that I like to work with kids/children.. Is nice to worked with kids.... although some are cheeky, mischievous but they are still innocent.. They make u smile when ur unhappy.. They make me feel that even though am unhappy, when i see the kids, it makes me smile... Some also ask me why I decided to work in Play N Learn instead of corporate world. Honestly speaking, I feel that working in this environment is something I prefer/suit me than working in a corporate
world.. but i will not judge the corporate world as I have not been working there before.. Although the working hours are long, it doesnt matter as long as u enjoy ur work and I do enjoy my work.. =)

I also maintains/update my company blog.. Come and take a look if ur interested in what the company am working in is actually doing.. Hahahaha... and feel free to comment so I can improve on it.. hehehe.. =p

Girls Outing- Shan, Sharon, Shelly and Me in Wong Kok, 1 Utama

On June 4, I met up with Shan and Sharon and Sharon friend, Shelly. I haven't met Shan for ages de.. Almost 7 months i think.. So I finally make a point to meet them up and chat. We arrived at 1 something, and we chatted till about 5 something to 6 p.m.. The Shan fetch me home before she return. Yes, it is on the same day that the petrol price increase so Shan was stuck in a bad jammed when fetching me home and also on her way home. Shan, Get Well Soon ya.. I know your are strong to overcome all the problems you are having now.. Sorry that I wasn't there for you during the time when you need your friends to be there for you.. but I promise that I will be there for you and just called/sms/email/msn me anytime... Sharon, All the best in your final year.. We went to 1 Utama, Wong Kok to eat.. Here is the pictures we took together.. Only a few picture of us..

All of us in Wong Kok to eat and chat.. I guess that is my first time in the same place chatting like 4 and the half hours with my friends. Hahaha.. We wanted to leave earlier, but it was raining very heavy, so we couldn't make a moved.. At least we managed to catch up with each other after so long.. Shan, when your back in Uni, we go yum cha again ya.. :)


Me and Shan



Another shot of both of us..


Me, Shan and Sharon..


The 3 of us... Miss you all..


Sharon and Shelly.. Haha.. :)

As I said in the last post where I posted about SUE'S BIRTHDAY, I stated that how long we have met each other doesn't matter right. Is a matter of us putting effort to maintain our friendship.. I only met Sharon and Shan a few days only in uni when I was in Year 2.. But under certain circumstances, both of them had to changed courses.. So they were not in the same course with me.. So, I only know them few days only, but then because we all put the effort to maintain our friendship, it had been already 2 years since I first met them.. Even though we are busy with our own things but our friendship is always in our heart. :)

Hope to see you guys again.. Take care and All the best to all of you. Nice meeting you too Shelly.. :).. We plan for another session again soon when Sharon finished her exams lah.. Hahaha

What a terrible week....

Uni life on the 3rd week of was hectic.. I was in alot of pain after the medical treatment last week, so I didn't blog about how my studies were last week. Every week, we have random group tutorial for marketing management, therefore every week we had to stay back in uni for group discussion.. Therefore, even though my classes finished early, I had to stay back in uni for group discussion till like 4 to 4.30p.m.. Since the medical treatment on Friday, the next day I was sick till now.. haih.. am having sore throat, fever and flu plus my stomach is so painful yesterday.. i have been eating porridge for a week now.. Every time i see solid food, i feel like vomiting.

On the 4th week, life getting more hectic.. I was weak and sick, but I still attended classes and group discussion. Besides that, on Thursday when I went to see my marketing lecturer, there was something we need to change before the Friday presentation. Therefore, I called for an emergency group discussion but most of them couldn't attend. So I went to meet Cheryl my other group member to discussed with her since am doing the power point and she was doing the report. So I smsed all the others to email me their ideas while Cheryl and I discussed in 1 Utama, Starbucks. And besides that, nobody wanted to do presentation, so we got Kelly to present, but since there was a lot to present, I wanted another person to help her out, but nobody wanted to present, so I had to present. So I was so tired after the marketing management classes, and that day everything was going well for me.. When I finally came back at 5.30 pm, my head was in a severe pain, with fever and bad sore throat, but I had to go for prayers that night.

Yesterday, things were getting worst for me.. Am not writing what happened here, cos I don't want anyone to know about it.. but it was a very bad week to end it.. I didn't want to go anywhere yesterday and even today.. Let's hope everything goes back to normal for me now..

Am so tempting to just forget about my degree in KL and just go back to Penang to be with my family members, and go back there to finish my degree.. Now, I understand why people telling me that staying with your family is a luxury.. although sometimes they nagged and so on, but when things happen, you really want your parents to be around to help you out.

That's it for now.. Am cooking porridge while typing this post...

The First Week of Uni Life

I went to uni on Tuesday since classes started already.. Little did I know that this week, we wont have critical issues in human resource classes as my lecturer will be away for the whole of this week. So ended up, I was having extra 2 days break on Wednesday and Thursday.. So since I was free, I went out with my cousin, Jean Ai to 1 Utama, since she is back for holidays.. We went shopping and we also went to Chilli's to talk for 2 hours while waiting for my mum to finish her duty in DMT. On Thursday, since my mum is also on duty, I decided to join her for lunch.. Jean Ai came along with me too..

On Friday, I went to my marketing management class at 8am.. Since it was the first lesson for that subject, my lecturer let us off early. Instead of 4 hours class, we only had 2 hours of class. And my lecturer said that those who came today, can skip class this coming Monday. He said that, he will still brief the other students that did not attend Friday class and also to let us think carefully whether we want to take this subject.. This is because he expect the best from the students.. There are reasons for it lah.. He talk about his life and his achievements in life.. If he did not show us evidences, we would not believe him.. But when he showed us all of the evidences, we had to believe in him. He is a top student last time and his sons are all high achievers.. He showed us his and his sons results.. He was from a very poor family and was an adopted son.. He worked in big companies and was paid quite high, but because of some reasons, which he told us, he went into teaching in HELP.. But soon, he will go back to work in other companies.. So because of that, he had high expectation of the students he taught.. So, he told us to think carefully.. And also because there are high failure rate too... He said that most fail is because the students do not listen to him... and don't do his work.. Anyways, I know some of them has already make quite a fuss and might not one to take this subject..

What about me? Am I brave enough to be with him for the next 14 weeks? Will I be able to cope??? Am not that sure myself too? What if I could not cope? What if I don't do well and it will thus affect my hon. degree?? Erm... But on the other hand, there are benefits for me to attend his class also.. He is a lecturer that will be able to show us the real work life and used real life examples to teach us. Since he is not a pure academics lecturer. He is also working as a marketer. His thinking is different from us.. I cant think of that word at the moment..Haha.. So if I go to his class, I will also learn new things from him.. The bad part is, he wont give us tips.. He said that lecturer who give tips actually harm the students.. LOL.. So that's why, I know some of them is already making fuss and not want to take this subjects..

So should I or should I not? I will be taking this subject no matter the lecturer is nice, good or vice versa. This is because, I feel that, is not the lecturer but ourself.. If the lecturer is good and we still don't study, the lecturer cant help us to pass also.. If the lecturer is not good, and if the student actually study, the student will still be able to pass. So is all depends on the students.. Besides that, I guess maybe is good to have him as the lecturer.. Although if he does not give tips or even if his expectation is high, it might actually do us good. He will be able to teach better and if we do and follow what he say, and be prepared for his class, then it will be ok.. If all his sons are all high achievers, i bet he is a good lecturer if we follow what he say instead of going against him.. I bet lecturers wont harm u unless you harm yourself my not studying and attending classes. Some lecturers could not care less about the students, and why there are still students passing the subjects, although there are also high failure rates? This is because the students that passed as put in effort.. So therefore, no matter how the lecturer is, i guess is all up to the students. That's what i think..

The only thing is that the marketing management subject contains of 50% exams and 50% assignment.. And is a group assignment.. And the bad thing is that we can't choose our own group.. The lecturer will randomly choose the groups.. Those who know me well, u know how I hate it so much.. I thought I had enough of problems in group work, and now I still have to face it.. But since am able to pull through all this while, I guess I will be alright this term too.. LOL.. Pray hard for me, my friends.. LOL

So anyways, I will be attending critical issues in human resources and marketing management this term.. Am only taking 2 subjects because their are the only few subjects offered. I don't want to take project this term, since I have another term to go.. Besides project, there are only finance paper offered.. So i decided to take 2 subjects this term, and another 3 next term. Since last term, I already finished 1 core paper.. Am so disappointed with my marks.. but then I know I did my best, since I was sick and did not attend classes after the 7 weeks.. the other 7 weeks, I was at home.. So practically I was doing it all by myself with the help of some of my friends.. So I really can't complaint, and am happy that I actually passed that paper..

Nevertheless, since my lecturer told us that we do not need to come for Monday class, I decided to come back to Penang.. LOL.. I know i know.. I just went back to KL 4 days ago, but I still want to come back home.. I guess i miss pg now.. Haha.. And I will be going back on Monday.. And after that on Friday after class, me and my mum will drive back to pg.. Haha.. I decided to come back this 2 weeks before I start getting busy with uni work.. LOL
