I have been leaving the house at as early as 0715 and coming home at as late as 2130 for these two days.
However, nothing I have to complain about as I find these two days nothing but magnificent and meaningful !
Really, I haven't had such hard laughs and sorrowful and regretful cries for quite a long long long while.
All right, let me elaborate or rather, share my two days.

Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group Workshop.
Yes, that is the reason why I have been home late and all.

Today is Day Two of the workshop.
It was much different from yesterday's.

Wait, before I start, let me introduce our trainers.
The Hot Favourite: Gary Lee
The 'Shut-tup' Favourite: Danny
The One Who Detests Ms Ong: Amin(a)
(Nah, kidding, he is Amin without the 'a')


Yesterday
It kicked off with Gary's talk.
One word to describe it all: FUNNY
Totally, I laughed my ass off like crazy !
Whatever he said was nothing but hilarious !
His humour definitely beat my Good Friend's.
(Oops, sorry !)
Anyway, he talked loads on Advertisements, Principles, Self-esteem etc.
The part on advertisements was damn funny, I swear !
He mocked at the I-Gallop advertisement which was the thing !
He talked about Pepsi and Michael Jackson being the spokesperson of it last time.
Oh, he also made fun of Ah Lians and Bengs !
Gheesh, he's good at his kAwaII posts ! HAHAHAHA
Of course, stretegies on how to succeed and all.

He took the early session and left at 1343.
Ask me why I remember the exact time, haha.
Well, cause I was the one who told him he only had 2 minutes to rush back to his office for another course.

He posted questions like: What is love ?
He randomly picked people to answer and I was chosen.
So much for sitting right at the front row, sweet.
As smart as I am, I answered: What love are you referring to ? Motherly love ?
Heh, everyone, please say: MANPIN, YOU ARE DAMN SMART ! :D
Then he replied: You're smart huhhh ?
Like, duhhhhhh !

He ended then we had our lunch.

Amin came in next.
Initially, I thought he was really boring as he kept laughing at his own jokes.
Goodness me, please !
But later, I realised that he was really quite funny !
He shared with us skills on how to succeed also.
Elaborated more on Self-esteem.
The funniest part was him sharing his past relationships with us.
His girlfriends were OH-MY-GOD hilarious ! HAHAHA

His session wasn't that long so yup.

The third trainer was Danny.
He says 'Shut up' as 'Shut Tup' !
Hell funny, it was !
Initially, it was very very boring as he taught us mindmapping.
I mean, yeah, how interesting could it be ?

Had dinner then came in for another of his session.
He was much funnier !
He had weird accents and he really can make a good comedian !
His gestures, facial expressions and all !
Wow, darn corny !

We watched the movie, Rocky III.
It is by Sylvester Stallone, for your information.
Some boxing show, if you don't happen to know.
Darn inspiring and cool !

Since it was a sports kind of movie, I could relate quite well to myself.
I mean, I do sports so yup.

Question: How many people around you are Paulie's ?

Heh, go watch the show to find out what I'm talking about.
It is a great show, no doubt about it.
I guess, I shall get them after O Levels.


Life is never once a rehearsal
Live life to the fullest
We only live life once
Don't regret when it is too late

(Bold words said by Danny;
Un-bold words, I added them in)


Today
The session started off with Danny.
This Comedian King seriously set me laughing like hell !
I don't know what was wrong with me but I just laughed like there was no tomorrow.

He did a recap of yesterday's stuff.
Recapping is very important, really.
Erm, like duhhhhh !

Anyway, he taught us other techniques on how to make notes.
Told us stories about his life and all.
He was again, very very very funny !
It seemed that I could never fall asleep during his talks.
Yup, that is something very good for him and yes, me !
Cause he managed to capture my attention for so long !

He also taught us speed-reading.
That part was fun !
Lalalala (lazy to elaborate)
My group is called Pea Brains.
Ayeeee, dude, it was supposed to be Pinky & The Brain.
Oh well, Pea Brains or was it Pee Brains ? HAHA
Never mind, does not matter.

Lunch and back.
Surprised and happier to see Gary as he is sick and was not supposed to come.
However, he came with a girl so CHIANG CHIANG for Ru.

This segment was darn touching !
He shared with us his life story.
Yes yes, I cried.
Call me a cry-baby, whatever you say.
It was such a sad recount !
Whatever he said sure sank down into our minds and evoked certain feelings.

And after what he had said, I can clearly conclude that I am a super duper EXtroverted person !
Easy, just check out the way I blog.
I blog about every damn thing in my life.

He left after his share of maybe, two hours ?
Time sure passed quickly when he was doing the talking.
Love his talks, ahhhh ! (:
Okay, shut up, Man Pin !

Amin's turn, all the way till the day ends.
He made us cry cry cry ! )':
I swear, almost everyone around me, especially Hueiminn, was crying their lungs out when he told us his life account and things which made us think through.
Think through, more particularly, soul-searching.
I think, this cry thing lasted for more than an hour.
At the end of it, we were to write a letter to ourselves and a letter to our mum and dad.
The letter to myself was so long, oh my !
I mentioned this person who used to be very close to me.
I shall not elaborate much here but I do miss ___ and if I had the courage (and I doubt I have), I would really ..
Oh well.
My eyes were so blurry then, mind totally in a whirl.
I thought of so many things, everything just kept streaming in like a never ending river.
Sighs of regrets, Tears of sadness, Blowing of mucus (HAHA, OUT OF POINT).
What the heck, everything just seemed like a BOOM !
And morale of it is:
Cherish and treasure whatever you have now
Don't wait before it is too late

And before that, we watched this movie something to do with World War II.
I cannot exactly remember the title so yeah.
It was very gory and touching.
The morale of it all is: Forgive & Forget
Seems easy but trust me, it is hell difficult !

Had dinner and everyone was like a hungry ghost !

Second session by Amin again.
He talked about our future.
The income, the house we'll be living in, marriage, job etc.
More importantly, Why Set Goals ?

Lastly, Amin said:
How would you know what you can be if you are not sure of who you really are ?
Yes, true enough, something to pounder upon.


Time flew so quickly.
It was 2100 so we were dismissed.
Damn, I really love this programme !
Last session tomorrow and I'm sure to be sad !
Hmmm, yes, because I enjoyed it so much !

Good Friend, now you are not Online !

Long long post.
Bet everyone enjoyed reading.
Haha, stay tune tomorrow !
There should be pictures ! (:
Till then, Love.
