The most fun part was when he asked us to pick anything in the room and immediately speak about it like we try to promote it so that the other person would be convinced to buy that stuff from us. Each and one of us did it in a creative way. I picked a sweet on my table, and said that the sweet was not an ordinary sweet. it was a magical sweet. once you plant the sweet on the ground just like any seeds, it will grow a "Sweet Tree". there would be a lot of new magical sweets appear on that tree. and there is only one magical sweet that is available in this world now. and that sweet was in my hand, so it costed RM2B.
Then, Mr. Zikry continued his session which is about Leadership Skills. He really gave importance in embracing making mistakes. He also encouraged us to travel as it improves our knowledge about cultures, languages, make international friends, and breaks our comfort zone.
After that, we went to the High Commission of Australia in KL! We listened to an explanation about the affir between Malaysia and Australia currently have. We also learnt about general knowledge about Australia though. Did you know that emus and kangaroos were chosen to be part of Australia's embelm is because emus and kangaroos cannot walk backward? so it is like a symbol of a sustainable development of Australia. and there are 43% of Australians that were born with one foreign parent. so there are so many multicultural people that were born by interracial marriages in Australia. woah!
The high commissioners were very nice. they gave each of us a book that tells the relations between Australia with South East Asian countries, "Endeavours of Excellence". THANK YOU!
The 4th day was not ended yet! We then went to Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur for Protocol, Grooming, and Social Etiquette and Fine Dining and Reception sessions. We formed two lines to welcome the honourable speaker, Mr. Sophian Ab. Rahman. He is the protocol officer for royal ceremonies.
Mr. Sophian then taught us the right way of having dinner/lunch in a grand ceremony. The hotel served us bread and soup, appetizer, main dish, and dessert. and Mr. Sophian taught us the right way to use a napkin, to use the fork and knife, etc. Thanks to him, now wherever we go to hotel, we could eat in a proper way. it means that there would be no more flying knife or fork after this.
FYI, the picture above shows the right way to call upon a waiter.
After this long yet exciting day, we went back to IDFR, and got ready for our final Zapin practice for the real performance on the day after.
