AGILENT MSD Team building FY13

Last month when they are announcing the annual department Team building, I was like secretly hoping for great bundle of FOOD.. Well at least that's all it came to mind at that point of time..*being a glutton person like me..you can't really expect anything beyond this right? haha* But, instead..It's held in some where called the Spice Garden?? And my friends were seriously asking this "What?! They want us to eat Spice!!" LOL

So, what so great about this place? Ooooo..It's a place of introduction to all sorts of herbs & spices that you can find in Asia. Check the place out at Penang Tropical Spice Garden. Visitors can have a visit to learn more on herbs used for all remedy. So at the same time, being said that we are going there as a Company "retreat", it only meant 1 thing: WORKOUT!

Me with workout it's like a love-hate relationship. I love to hit the gym & run my ass off when stress, but at the same time it's always a drag for me to do so...haha

We started our trip with lunch and then it's off to explore the place under the supervision of the tour guides.

Oooh..what's that you're looking at??

Look at the humongous spread of area we have to cover...

 

 And not to forget this important sign.. Y?? Later we gonna go for treasure hunt! Hunt what??
Hunt spice...what else la...LOL =D

The tour guide is taking us on a super compact class of the history & surroundings and maybe a lil tips for the hunt later.. keke ^^

Monkey-a-Boo looking at you~~ =]
After the tour, it's time for team-work fun! Let's meet all the team members.

 
 
 
 
 
 

After the tiring competitive hunt, whoever came back to the base camp will have the advantage of choosing the recipe to cook!

AGILENT MSD Team building FY11

It's my 1st Team Building experience in Agilent with my whole Department!! What year?! It's in 2011!! Haha..I myself just found these pics wondering around our internal server.

Well that year, MSD just had a humble team-building in our own Sport Complex. Talk about lousy right?! Haha.. Should have brought us to somewhere far far away, at least that way we could have "Snake" longer.. hehe.. Plus what more if the Management wants us to meet at the Sport Complex - No more then no sweat sweat sweat!! Urgh..I hate it! XD

With such a huge group that year, they ended up splitting us into 3 Groups. YELLOW, BLUE & RED and let the fight Begins!! Go Go Go...
First GAME Begins....

2012 Korean Drama watch

With the overwhelming amount of dramas and movies that came out every year, nowadays bet there's more of a choice to choose from. Not sure of how many dramas that I've already watched??! But..just..maybe I can start track down those I've watched within 2012 year! =D
Well..from the list I would say it should be more dramas that are from KBS than other station...Still a good watch. Enjoy browsing~♥

Below are the dramas I watched in the year of 2012!~♥

49 Days [A must Watch ★★★★★★★★★☆]
Review: A "soul switching" drama with an unique twist to it. It's regarding a woman whom faced with death when met with an accident, but given a chance to live if she can collect 3 sincere tears shed from other people who are not biological related to her. All characters are linked to each other with makes this destiny/fate of them unimaginable by us. Nice heart-wreaking story line. 

Title: 49일 / 49 Days
Genre: Fantasy drama, romance
Episodes: 20
Broadcast network: SBS 
Broadcast period: 2011-Mar-16  to 2011-May-19 (Completed)
Air time: Wednesday & Thursday 21:55 
Synopsis
The story is about a woman who falls into a coma after a car accident. To revive, the Death Scheduler gives her 49 days to convince three people (apart from her parents) to shed genuine/sincere tears for her. To fulfil her mission, she enters the body of another woman.

Big [A must Watch ★★★★★★★★★☆]
Review: A-must watch for Gong Yoo's fans. Really a typical Korean plot feel where two bodies switch souls. And also the writer's inability to tied up loose end which left viewers with a open ending..just dangling there. Despite these flaw, it's still a Big warm drama as BIG delivers many sweet adorable moment by our macho hot Gong Yoo and Min Jung! Their sweet chemistry was the reason I still think that tie the whole drama together. Was also impressed with Suzy's acting too! Given that she's from a idol group, her act even surpass some of her seniors in the acting industries. Without a doubt she's the nation "first lover". A Big clap to the BIG team.

[REVIEW] TTMIK Level 2 Book Review

여러분 안녕하세요...
Ever wanting to learn a new Language - Korean Language in particular? It wouldn't be necessarily difficult to master a foreign language if you have interest in learning it. For me, in particular have only been officially learning the Language after my trip back from Korea (which is around April this year). Only after 5 months, I'm able to read Hangul by my own *well that's in slow pace right as I'm super busy with work, Only able to study 1-2 hours per week*. The best part of learning Korean is that I'm able to watch my fav Drama, Movies & variety shows with less English subs. Not to mention K-pop songs! You guys out there has no idea how torturing it would be for k-pop fans to listen to those songs & not understand a single word of it. ㅋㅋㅋ

Okay let's cut the crap & get down to the actual informative part. To learn Korean, you have to be able to read the Hangul characters first. Once you've the hang of it, that's where your journey starts. There are many ways you can engage either by taking classes, self-taught reference books/materials, online-buddy system/penpal..the list goes on. But, I've found TTMIK to be the best (refer as TalkToMeInKorean). TTMIK is an non-profitable organization that teaches Korean for absolutely FOC. All thanks to the passionate teachers from TTMIK. Their lessons are easy enough to grasp with a total of 9 Levels. (Materials & podcasts are available for downloads) The best part is that all the TTMIK 선생님은 are very interactive with the audience. With regular updates from their websites, FB pages & twitter. 

With their recent Level 1 & Level 2 book launch, the reviews for it has been encouraging. The TTMIK Level books are of the lessons from their online lessons as well. BUT why buy the book when you can download all the lessons for free??

Well it's a way to support your favourite 선생님 for all their hard work!

My Twins?

Me for one have never met people that have the same birth date as mine. But, there's always possibilities for everything! Would you believe such thing as fate, when you found out that someone out there was born on the same day, same month, and same year as you? Well, if its only up till that point, at a certain time I would have agreed with. But to my amazement that, how could you also find someone that was also born in the same place, work under the same department and till an extend of sitting at the same area where our little cubicles are; and neither did one of our lives being cross before all these years?! Talk about deja-vu...
Haha...that would be the one day I won't be forgetting any time soon. 
  
This year, some of our colleague celebrated our birthday together. Oh well, since our birthday was reveal some time back; we are already known as the department's twins! Haha..never in my life would I've thought of having a sister...twin sister?! keke... Thanks for the cake!! 고마워 

Since then, it seem like we are having so much luck in finding people (within our own department) with the same Birth date as us. There's one, well not exactly twin but younger by 1 year (still same birthdate). And today, during lunch we found out that we are having another twin??! Haha...same day, same month and same year! The whole gang just LOL! What else can we do..... Four people sharing the same Birthday?? Did our boss picked their candidates based on date of birth? Hahaha...that possibility is way out of hand as all of us are not under the same boss. Our bosses should treat us all next year!! What a coincidence..하하하!!!
