Begin the day with second registration then took our breakie. Mr. Joel Neoh - Young Entrepreneur & Executive Director of YouthAsia has joined us in the morning opening plenary. After that, we continued with Sustainability Expo conducted by Aly and Ima, the two pretty girls from Philippine and Germany. Haha :D I have randomly got selected as panelist for the project that will be pitch by the groups. It is a very good experience for me because I have seen through the youths’ ideas and their passionate to contribute to society. Its lunch time~ we do enjoyed it. Forum: Environmental sustainability, social sustainability and economical sustainability. Actually my preference is social sustainability; unfortunately the group gets full so fast, so I put myself under environmental sustainability forum. Speech given by Mr. Steve McCoy, Founder & Principal of Counterpoint Consulting Sdn Bhd and also Dato’ Dr Dionysius S.K. Sharma, Executive Director / CEO of World Wildlife Fund [WWF] Malaysia. It has increase the awareness of the environmental issue among youths and some effective way to reduce the problems. Self-Discover and Goal Setting, Leadership Activation!! What do you think about that? A fascinating session conducted by Sir Steve McCoy, Mr. Roshan Thiran- Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Leaderonomisc and Dr. Goh Chee Leong - Father of Physiological studies in Malaysia. Tremendous, Dr. Goh has share a lots of his experience with us, especially the leadership bits and pieces and people mindset. Yes, it is skills workshop time =). Honestly I like this session so much. There are 5 choices to let us choose. I have been chosen communication and marketing workshop plus project management workshop. Cool combination ^^ Communication and Marketing workshop by Mr. Khailee Ng - Chief Executive Officer of SAYS.com. It’s truly an appealing learning process. Next, project management skills conducted by lovely, creative and sporting Miss Lilyana Abdul Latiff- Director of Asianstream Group and Director and Senior Partner of Aleph One. The tips given by her really will be useful when running a project. The workshops are really awesome. Thumb up!!*-* Dinner after workshop and ruined up with ‘Sharing your stories’ session. ♥

xxx Day 3 xxx
Ya, it is already day 3. Time passed so fast. What are the marvelous things we go through today? We have the chance to experience our self what the serious issue is happening. This program has divided the delegates into 4 groups, after we understand the situation, we need to come out with a project or ways they can help to gain the awareness and also decrease the impact to society. It is quite challenging for all of us. However, we all have successfully done it well. =) in the middle of the program, there has a modest media campaign workshop. What we have gain through the workshop is the skills and guidelines on how to get the media attentions. ♥

I will never think this day will happen. It is really super awesome, fantastic, happy and so on…because we are lucky to get the chance having lunch together with our beloved Prime Minister- Dato' Sri Haji Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak at One World Hotel. I just sat about 10M away from him ^^ ♥
Overall, theses 4 days program is totally awesome. Besides that, we also laugh and have fun through the all the way of the conference. =)
