ICSS (Round 2)

Hello!!! 

Last week Sunday,  was the second round of competition and it was held in Mid Valley. The reason we were there was because one of our sponsors - Metrojaya is in there. 

For this round of competition,  we arrived in Mid Valley at 9.30 am and gathered right in front of Guess.  Though they told us that the competition started at 9.30am,  it started an hour later (can never get used to Malaysian timing). What we did on the spare time?  Lots of talking and pictures. Here's some of them.

When everyone was gathered,  there was a short briefing on where's the venue and how we should walk there.  And lots of taking pictures again.  These process took another 30 minutes, I supposed.  During these process,  we attracted quite a lot of attention,  probably due to our all black and white attire.

After all these and one last picture with the background Metrojaya, the competition finally started. Last week challenge was everything about accessories and there's 2 round of challenge.  The first round of challenge required us to partner with another competitors and help to 'decorate' them according to what they wore.

The time given was 30 minutes. We were allowed to use any accessories on that particular floor in Metrojaya. When we heard this,  we were super excited. Before the competition started, we were told to take off any accessories and then 30 minutes started counting. 

'Decorating' each other

Again,  as I have no experience in wearing any accessories,  I had no idea what to decorate on her.  The result came out to be very simple and newbie. And I don't think the judges like something too simple. 

From the left 6, was what I did to my friend. So simple that you can barely see anything from here.

After the first round, the second round immediately started. The second round required us to 'decorate' ourselves with the help of the consultants.  For some reasons, it became the consultants helped us with 'decorating', but I did learn something from here.  Like what to wear and what not to wear for my dress. What to do with hair and stuff. They were very willing to help and teach and I appreciate it so much.

With the last round of judging,  the competition ended and we were free to have our lunch. 

I really have to thank Metrojaya for providing the places and items for this competition and also the consultants for helping and supporting me in this competition. 

Thank you very much.

Internship Experience in Ryokan (旅館 - Japanese-styled Hotel)

Image
'いらっしゃいませ' (Irasshaimase!)、'ありがとうございます' (Arigatou gozaimasu!) Very common terms but the most polite terms. These 2 terms accompanied me during my whole internship period.  If you do not know, I internship-ed in Japan for 2 months in the service industry. To know how I came across this internship opportunity, click here .  The ryokans, aka Japanese-styled hotel, that I worked in were Takimotokan Yukinosato (滝元館遊季の里) and Umi no Hana (海の花). They are luxury ryokans strategically located closed to tourist attractions, which provide great hospitality and ultimate relaxation to the guests. Both are ryokans with private and public onsen.  Since the main topic today is my internship experience, I'm not going deep into information of both the ryokans today. I will be writing more information on both the ryokans and the surrounding attractions in another post, or if you can't wait for it, please visit their website! 1. Appearance The first thing I...

Internship Experience in Ryoutei (料亭)

Image
Ryoutei is a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant, which served kaiseki style meals for business and formal meetings (source from Wikipedia). Everyone that goes to a Ryoutei has a purpose. It is not just a simple filling the stomach meal. It can be a business meeting, a celebration, a family meeting, a book sharing session, a reunion, a party or any occasion you can think of, which is why the customers going there are usually dressed formally. Having said that, anyone are welcomed to visit a ryoutei to enjoy the exquisite, delicate meal prepared by a qualified chef and served by the beautiful omotenashi-san (something like waitress?). However, do remember to make a reservation in advance as meals are prepared freshly according to the number of customers. The ryoutei I worked in is called Shikiryotei Sukeroku (粋料亭　助六) currently managed by Okami - Chikage Nakamura and her husband, Hideyuki Nakamura, who is also the head chef of Sukeroku. During my whole internship experie...

4D3N in Hong Kong (part 2)

Image
Hi! Happy Chinese New Year!! Continuing from the previous post . DAY 2 We woke up early for breakfast at the Hong Kong-ians' favourite DIM SUM! We went to a dim sum restaurant near our hotel and ordered about 12 items as my sister and I were starving (planned to stuff as much as we could as we knew that the food in Disneyland would cost twice as much as the usual food price). We thought that 12 items were quite the normal amount until the waitress turned around and confirmed with us the amount of food that we ordered. Were 12 items too much for 4 people?  These are some of the items that we ordered. If you are not sure what to order, try order the items that are marked with a star. Those are the recommended items.  Right after the sumptuous breakfast, we immediately headed off to the must-go destination - Hong Kong Disneyland. Going to Disneyland by MTR is not a mission impossible. In fact, MTR in Hong Kong has the easiest route from all the places that ...
