Myagri Visit

Just a short recap on where I was last Wednesday.

Dr. Palsan arranged a trip for our class to visit Myagri, an agriculture-based biotechnology company. We were able to gain knowledge about the current trends of biotechnology in our country. The speakers also shared many of their experiences in the field, widening our views. Though there are many setbacks, we were encouraged to fight for opportunities. However, this made many of us, especially Rayyeow, to think that "兴趣不能当饭吃".

We were forced to leave early due to a broke down university bus. The bus we booked for the trip had to take over the broken down bus, scheduled to leave the university at aroudn 5.15pm. Some of us were not satisfied and left regrettably, blaming the management of the university.

Here are some photos taken during the visit. Too bad that we were unable to photograph many sections due to 'trade secrets'.

Royal Selangor Visit

Got a chance to visit Royal Selangor factory somewhere around Wangsa Maju during the Deepavali break. I was staying overnight in Skye's house the night before. Harvard also joined us in the visit that Sunday afternoon (he drove all the way from his house).

For those who do not know Royal Selangor, it is company that specializes in craft-making with pewter. It was originally a self-owned business, but it later grew into a globally renowned brand. We were greeted by the friendly staffs at the reception, and then went off to the main entrance via an elevator. 

We were able to get through without a tour guide, because someone among us will be our guide for the whole visit! Mr. Skye, our tour guide and also a part-time staff in Royal Selangor, led us through the galleries, explaining while we were viewing their products. It was really an eye opener, knowing the pewter industry of our country. The only thing is, he did not tell us we were coming, so I did not bring my camera, and have to use my lousy phone camera to capture the following images:

Photo frames, anyone?

 

The Twin Towers, made of pewter!!

 Some of the many ordered products by famous corporations.

Was saddened by the tragedy that happened in Putatan yesterday afternoon. I can't believe it when I saw someone posting the horrible photos on Facebook. I always thought that the scenario will only happen in the movies... Really hope that the railway safety will be heightened, and I pray for the missing ones. Sheryl is sad too. =[

Before signing off, I wish everyone a Happy belated Halloween!!

And yeah, I officially removed the chat box on the left. I freaking hate those people that comment and gave stupid backlinks just to boost their sites' flow.

Yours truly,
