Wisma Putra n IDFR trip

Six in the morning, i loitered around d mosque, waiting my malay members on their morning pray. i suffered from dizzy spells, 7 hours bus trip from UUM to Putra Jaya here wasnt that fun as anyone think, it was tiresome.

Our 1st destination was Wisma Putra, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The people were vr kind, indeed. They not even wrinkle brow at onces (i mean a scrowl) though we were all yawning n fishing while their official was talking. To b honest, his speech was just nice to drive us asleep, as well as the dim light n aircorn in this grandly beutiful conference hall..

But sadly, i couldnt. i have to pay fully attention (pretending) on every single word of his, i was on d very front n visible seat. i could feel the speaker's delighted gaze was fastened on me, he might expected some response from me, a fake enthusiasm smile?? perhaps..

I could hardly to keep being friendly until d tea break time. It was a typical "bajet" type of buffet. Bihun, sauce, some kuih muih, fruits, n tea...

"Excuse me,thr wasnt any coffee??"
"yes, we hav no coffee."
(at the same time i have shieft my fake ethusiasm smile into a true unenthusiasm face.) 11am sharp, v left wisma putra after a short while of photo shooting session.


We spent our lunch time at center of kl, my members hav chosen Burger King, in whr they found a handsome worker =.= d weather was so hot that caused me lose my appetite, another reason was probably im not a fans to fast food, so i just grasped for a cup of coke.

We reached IDFR at 3pm, in where i was really fascinated by the structure of the institute n its environment. Basically it was a place to train future diplomat, not only local diploamat but foreign diplomat hv been sent here as well.

From what been told by the officials ,i learned that the trainees here enjoy numerous opportunities to participate in seminars, workshops, round table discussions and benefit from lectures by distinguished visiting scholars and international leaders, Obama Barack n Queen Elizabeth are possible, who knows?

After visiting their departments n facilities n also greet wif some of d trainees here, im very keen to get in this place for my internship. I believe IDFR will be a wonderful place to improve my social skill and management skills, and also a suitable place to look for handsome potential future diplomat :p

I enjoyed d buffet here,beyond of variety kind of tasty kuih-muih, ice-cream, tea..they did serve coffee^^

But i had a hard time of eating one table with d officials here. Doenst matter malay or chinese or indian, they share one thg in common, they r excellent in english! im not kidding they really spoke so well that i was extemely hard to catch their conversation. Most of the time me n president were remained quiet, the tea break was like a century long for us...

Our last destination was PWTC international bookfair, i was sooooooo tired n look like a mad woman wif messy hair.Mr Kai was generous enuf to buy me a Mocha Delite, a great appreciate to this gentle man.

President and me didnt take much photos, we were busy socializing wif the officials while the members busy posing for photos. So i think my favourite Mocha Delite, was the only thg that really cheered me up in this tireless journey.
