28-Dec-05 is the 1st Day of PROPS-C Training
5:30AM
I finally woke up when the phone rang and it was my wake up call. I didn’t wake up to my bedside alarm. I also didn’t wake up to my mobile phone alarm. Hehehe! I freshened up for breakfast.
6:00AM
I went down to the Sunway Cafe for buffet breakfast. Earle met up with me there. After a few minutes, we went back to our own rooms to get ready for our shuttle bus pick-up.
8:00AM
The suttle bus to Ericsson Cyberjaya, Malaysia was on time and we left early.
8:45AM
We arrived at Ericsson and we were surprised to see a huge place. We proceeded to the reception area and got our student identification cards. Earle and I finally met our fellow trainees: five from Vietnam and one from Singapore.
9:00AM
We settled down in our training room and checked our mails. It felt like we never left home… work was waiting for us when we checked our mails. Hehehe!
9:10AM
Andy and Viji from Semcon started the PROPS-C training for Project Managers
11:00AM
We took our first break for the day. We went to the Ericsson cafeteria. I dunno if it was just me but I noticed that it’s been a standard for Ericsson to have coffee, cappuccino, chocolate, and ice tea stations in every floor. The cafeteria is big enough to be 2 restaurants. My fellow trainees and I took our break in the balcony. This isn’t your normal training, it’s… indescribable.
11:30AM
We came back for our training.
1:00PM
We took a late lunch since we had a heavy break at 11:00AM. The food was awesome. We had 3 choices: asian menu, american menu, and european menu. I took the asian menu because I wanted rice. I had several helpings of beef curry, another dish I couldn’t pronounce and mango juice. I almost didn’t finish my meal due to the excessive spice but eventually I did.
2:00PM
We resumed our training. It was gruelling.
3:30PM
We took another break and spent some time for photo ops. We slowly got to know each other. Honestly, I’m still struggling to understand my fellow trainees’ diction and tone.
4:00PM
We went back to our training.
5:00PM
Day 1 of the training ended and the shuttle was again prompt. We left immediately for Sunway Lagoon Hotel.
5:40PM
We arrived at the hotel. We freshened up and met at the lobby.
7:00PM
We went to Sunway Pyramid Mall just beside our hotel. I wanted to buy my own video camera. But I can’t seem to find the one I want.
7:45PM
We went to the supermarket for some food and snacks to take back to our rooms. I got several M&M’s, Quaker Oats Granola Bars, and a limited edition Dark Chocolate KitKat. After the grocery, we went back to malling. We got into Esprit. I found a unique shirt that I liked and bought it.
8:30PM
We took our dinner at The Chicken Rice Shop. The price was reasonable and the taste was uniquely delicious.
9:15PM
We went malling again. Earle looked for his bluetooth headset.
10:30PM
We were ready to go back to our rooms since we were tired from the training and going around the mall. Then we thought… hey our hotel is surrounded by bars and clubs why not drop in… so…
