Winter holiday started and most of my local frens rushed home to spend Christmas with families. And as for me and the rest of the Malaysian ppl, we headed up north to Manchester to attend a Seminar on Entrepreneurship, sponsored by MARA. Well, its pretty hard to resist free Malaysian food and mingling around with successful and famous business men and women. Hehe. But seriously, i went there because of the knowledge to gain and the fact that each of us will get our own room in a classy hotel. Atleast i know this year i spent my winter holiday in a productive way for the first time. It was fun and informative altogether. The event was held for 3 days and 2 nights. And we had to wear formal attire. Alas, this gave my Lounge Suit the chance to get out of the closet for the 3rd time in 4 years. Despite, it still fits me like a glove.
There were around 80 ppl from all over UK who attended this event. Most of them i dont already know. What can i say, been here for 4 years, and most of the people from my era have graduated and went back home. But i still managed to get to know most of the ppl at the seminar and made a couple of new frens. To my surprise the seminar was quite fun. We were divided into groups and were suppose to form our own business organisations. Yeah, we had to go against each other in a business simulation where they stole most of the ideas from the reality TV show "The Apprentice". The aim was so that we apply the so called "entrepreneurship" skills and knowledge taught to us in the real world, or so they claimed. As for me, it was just nice to get out of Sheffield after a looong semester.
