World Class Scholarship Part 2 -Light Refreshment

"Sir, Mdm, this way please to our restaurants" That was what I did that day, leading the guest for some light refreshment. It is true that Taylor's do offer one of the best refreshments if ever you get the chance to attend certain Huge Events like World Class Scholar. Lesson learned, Do not refuse their offer of drinks and food or you will regret!

I got a chance to sneak peak the kitchen crew.

Good Job Culinary crew!!!!!

We are proud of your food!

While they are working their magic in the kitchen. Some ushers just can't keep their hands off those delicious food!

Don't try to lure the camera ladies! Is a women behind this camera.

Yummmmmm....... 

OK, enough background work. We now move to where the guest and vip mingle. 

I was quite jealous when I heard VIP get to dine in Tangerine. If those who know me, I always wanted to dine in Tangerine Deck for a change. Of course, VIP get special treatment, their food are served as they sit and chit-chat. 

I wasn't sure if I was allowed in the VIP section, my plan was to just stand at the corner and act invisible while I take pictures just for this blog. I almost thought of standing outside the glass door and take pictures from there but then the pictures won't turn out nice, so my 'JOURNALISM' instinct (hahahaha) told me to just creep in for a while and follow on with my plan. Wonderful, I just love how VIPs are treated.

On the other hand, check out where the guest mingles.

I honestly have to say, as much as I love VIP seating, this concept is great!

We have some waiter&waitress(students) walking around serving finger food and drinks. 

They are all very professional, polite with a nice smile. Well dressed too!

Do you see what I mean?

Polite, great smile and professional. 

I am so proud of Taylor's Hospitality and Tourism students. Always loved them.

A bar where students can show off their skills of making mocktail. 

I had this, forgot what is the name of the drink. 

Reason for this drink: I saw mint, lemon and sugar ring on top. Combo of my fav stuff.

Of course, not to forget. Meeting some awesome Taylor's staff! I don't understand why people would complain about them sometimes, they are actually really nice people.

Comment below or at Cbox if there is anything. I will be here.
Go back to Part 1 if you missed it.

World Class Scholarship Part 1

It's the time of the year again for the annual Taylor's World Class Scholarship event! I am excited because this is my first time attending one, though, I am not one of the profile who will be receiving the scholarship. Haihz... I was there as a student helper/ambassador. So, I only watch people receive them from various awesome and fabulous company. Not joking, I envy all World Class Scholar!

If you don't know what is World Class Scholarship, it is a scholarship given to Taylor's students in collaboration with leading world class multinationals. The best part about this scholarship is that it is not only as a financial aid but students will get the golden opportunity to train with global brands. It is a guaranteed practical training for them!

A few examples of companies are:

We also have BMW Group, Frost & Sullivan, Hilton Kuala Lumpur, IBM Malaysia, Leo Burnett, Weber Shandwick, Universal McCann and many more.

It is just kind of pointless for me to take pictures of the screen for all companies. haha. I think some uncle beside me must be thinking I am mad as I was taking pictures of the all the profile's slide just because my friends wants to know who are 21 best of the best students this year.

To know more about World Class? Check out Taylor's Website.

Moving on.....

I took a few shots of the rehearsal for fun

This is where the VVVIP sit.

If you do not know, this year 2010, World Class Scholarship was presented by YB Dato Seri Mohammed Khaled Nordin, Minister of Higher Education. The picture below is him giving the opening speech.

The hall was pretty full with parents, siblings, grandmothers, grandfathers, practically their whole related relatives come and support their son, daughter, sibling, grandchild..... getting this BIG AWARD!

Of course, we also have reporters and medias, Taylor's Deans and many other important people sitting in this memorable event.

All applicants for this scholarship are to attend a few rounds of interviews and essay writing. Thus, it is important to not only excel in your academics but an all-rounder seem to attract most of the interviewer. Most of the receiver are both well in their academics as well as non academics.

Few pictures of the recipients, (random, I don't know any of them) 









For this shot, some of the recipient were asked to posed that way for some special photographers to take pictures. So I also went and Kepo(busybody) take picture. haha.

A final Group picture!

All guest are then invited for light refreshment in our very own restaurants. Tangerine, Thyme and Tarragon. I will be having a part two just for light refreshments or else this post will get too long. I am afraid readers will lose focus, I learned this on IPD(Issues in Publication and Design). Miss Jenny and Miss Ngim will be so proud of me! XD.

Seriously, the food was really good! So wait up for the World Class Scholarship Part 2- Light refreshments. I will be away to Johor in a few hours time, will be back tomorrow. Questions? Comment or leave it in the cbox.

I'm done!

YES! I am done for my 2nd semester! As what all my friends saying, those 3 months of semester 2 felt so long. Some shots of the day before assignment due.

Brian trying to teach them HTML, Amirul trying to seriously learn like he even got a clue what is going on, Aaron trying to look like he is asking questions but pose wrongly. haha

Laughing after trying to take some serious shots while Aaron still want to pose for the camera!

What a poser you guys! Hahaha, no, it is not some random shots of my friends doing assignments but we were doing assignments.
As you can see, we were in the library. Fact#1: Do you know Taylor's Lakeside Campus library is HUGE?? It has 4 floors! Can you imagine that everytime now when your friend say that they are in the library and you have to ask in return 'Which part of the library?'. So, as always, my friends and I will come up with some special lingo to reduce the goose hunting every now and then. The area that we were sitting in the picture is the 'Office Area'. I will take other pictures of other places like 'Airport Area' where it is the brigde in level 2 that connects to the 'Printing Area'. Also we have 'Maze Area' which is a studying area close to 'Office Area'.

Even though I am off for a month, I will still be around blogging about events and random stuffs that happen in Taylor's! Yes, will also still be here answering questions of yours.

Majolica, Shiseido invaded Taylor's!!!!!!! By TLCMUN

2 June 2010,

Majolica Shiseido came to Taylor's for some tips and tricks for the girls on cosmetics and Make up! All my friends know I love all these events because usually you will leave with awesome goodies. For some reason, I was there early and lucky enough to be ask as a demo model. OF COURSE I SAY YES! Woohoo free make-over.

Before I go any further, this event was organized by Taylor's Lakeside Campus Model United Nations (TLCMUN) Club in obviously Taylor's University College. Specifically, this event is call 'Beauties Unified, the beauty workshops week'. It was a three day event started from the 1 June- 3 June. Check out their Blog for updates and other activities.

Her name is Purple. Yea, seriously PURPLE, it was on her namecard as well. She did the make-over for me.

People in charge collecting tickets.

Turn out not bad okay! Of course, these event interest all girls.

Her name is Jo (I think), She gives the talk. By the way, Clap hands..... Have to say that both of them are very nice ladies, very friendly.

I shall just skip through the tutorials and spare your time from listening to me mumbling on how to put on eyeshadow and all.

Beware!

Half-face monster coming through!

I think i should add half face monster with a huge zit on her forehead. Thank God they did not leave me with half face made on the streets. So I had the other side done while the girls have their Q&A session with Jo.

Tadaaaaaaaa.......

End Product
