Due to the OHSAS requirements,most of the staffs from management level until the production team have to attend this so called Pico First Aid & CPR Training Day at Saga Room, Sri Damansara Club.
What is OHSAS 18001? OHSAS 18000 is an international occupational health and safety management system specification. It comprises two parts, 18001 and 18002 and embraces BS8800 and a number of other publications.
All of us have to arrive to the club at 9.00am in the early morning and the training ends at 5.00pm, ending with a short test (which remind me my final exam during college time) and you will get a certificate valid for 3 years.
You will then be a certified First Aid & CPR citizen and to perform any rescue aid at anytime, anywhere internationally!
It sounds cool eh? Perhaps one day I will be able to perform a CPR on someone and break their ribs instead of rescuing them! Haha!
At this training, you will experience some incidents and you will be taught with some lessons and skills of perform an immediate response during an emergency cases during on-site (Especially for us who are working in exhibition stand build-up, which there will be certain level of risk)

The second day of the camp, it rains since the early morning.
We were gathered together for a breakfast at the resort’s dining area, and expecting it should be at least some sausages or some fried eggs for the breakfast.
Who knows, there are only some plain bee hoon with soup. - Worst Breakfast in Port Dickson. (Another blogger’s honest review)
1. Scavenging
We started our first mission, where we have to search for these items in the resort without going back to our rooms : -
3 Coconuts
1 Bikini
10 nos. of 5 cent coins
1 Boxers
5 Dead Flowers
5 Foreigners’ Name & Signatures
All with a blind-folded mascot following us wherever we go.
Stephen as the mascot
We found a boxer!
That’s Gavin’s team
Both Michelle and a tourist
The things that we’ve collected for that mission
2. Pico INC.
Then, we were asked to make paper planes. In this activity, we have to “buy” materials in order to create our “planes” to make profit.
For an instance, the paper cost us RM1.00, the scissors cost RM30.00, the marker costs RM10.00 but the final product (Which is able to fly for at least 6 meters) is able to sell for only RM2.00.
Which mean, the more planes that you are able to build, the better profit you gain.
On each planes, you have to write down the group’s name.
That’s us building airplanes
After all the above activities, we took a break for lunch at the dining area.
Again, the best thing to eat is just the vegetables & fruits.
Even the filtered water is better than the colored sweet water.
After cleaning up ourselves, we went to the poolside to have our BBQ Dinner - The worst BBQ Dinner in Port Dickson.
They serve chickens, lambs, sausages, fish & potatoes with some rice, mee and fruits.
Casa Rachado does not have any quality measurement systems to monitor the quality of the food they serve, most of the food are either over-cooked, or not properly done. Some of it are tasteless and some of it are too spicy or salty. (Well, another blogger’s honest review)

Our director brought us some durians too!
When I told Megan that a snail is going towards her, that’s her response shown at the picture below.
Since Megan Wong will be having her birthday on the 20th of July, she was being thrown into the pool and get totally wet!
Another birthday girl, See Ting, thrown into the pool!
Do come back tomorrow 8.00am for the 2nd day of our camp!
After checking into our rooms, we gathered up for some telematch outdoor games.
Some group photo of us
She’s the pretty Rachel Ho
All the outdoor telematch activities planned is pretty normal comparing some which I’ve attended or heard from. (Another blogger’s honest review)

After a round of telematch, it’s the tea time.

Then, it’s sea rafting time!
We went to the “super” dirty, “super” black, “super” smelly seaside to build our rafts, paddling out to the marking and U-turn back to the shore.

We had a rest before we go for our next BBQ dinner at the poolside.
Come back tomorrow at 8.00am to check what’s happening next?
My colleagues has actually planned this few months earlier.
This is a compulsory team building event involving the marketing people, sales team, design gallery, artists and production team.
The entire programme was planned thoroughly by the marketing people by outsourcing to a company called “Eneres” and they are our facilitators for this 2 days programme.
Entrance to Reception Counter
The bad thing is, this resort is a bad place to run team building event, they have bad pool, worst food in the entire Port Dickson, bad environment, and the most interesting thing is, they have a sea which is in black color.
That is totally awful!
By the way, that’s Casa Rachado Resort. Well, this is just a blogger’s honest review.
We left Pico Office and we arrived to Casa Rachado at about 12.30 in the afternoon, which is a little late from our planned schedule. We were greeted by the Eneres team at the entrance of Casa Rachado, and we were brought into a function room for an Ice Breaking Programme.
The Pico Group Photo for the Team Building
This is where we went - Casa Rachado MAA Training Resort
We have to do this, create our own so called “flag” with the team’s name accordingly to one of the movies, which my team’s name is “Wanted”
Here, we need to re-arrange this by remembering the visions, missions, core purpose and core values.
We were then brought into our rooms, It seems like it was being built decades ago.

Recently, I am inviting bloggers to join as 1 of the 7 Guest Bloggers at this site. The reason why, I will be away for a month in August 2008 and I will need someone to look after the content of my site as I foresee that I might face some difficulties in getting some internet access. Therefore, Guest Bloggers play an important role during my absense for a month. However, as this period, If I am able to access to internet easily, I will still be posting as usual.
Below are some information of what a Guest Blogger must know.
1. Research the Blog - Do a little homework on the blog that you’ll be writing for. With these information, you are in much better position to write something that meets the needs of the reader, blogger and yourself.
Who reads it?
What voice of style does the blogger write in?
What is the topic usually covered?
What are some rules that you never notice it?
2. On Being Yourself - While I would strongly recommend that you write in your own voice and style I think it’s important not to take the blog in a completely different direction while the blogger you’re helping out is away. While some readers won’t mind a radical change some will react against it and the blogger could come back to a disgruntled readership.
3. Look for Gaps in the blog - one of the reasons that I love having a guest blogger come on at my blogs is that they bring a different skill set and knowledge base to the blog to my own. I attempt to find bloggers who will add something unique and different to the topic I’m discussion.
4. Sell Yourself - as part of the agreement that you have with the blogger that you’re helping out negotiate a byline (or by-paragraph) that will enable you to sell yourself (within reason). Include a link back to your blog and RSS feed as well as a brief biographical/descriptive sentence or two about who you are and what you do.
Link back to your site if you have something write on topic that adds something to the post - but don’t fill your posts with self referential links - this looks cheap and nasty.
Another aspect of selling yourself is sharing some of your story. While blog readers ultimately want great content on a blog - many also want to connect and relate to the person they’re reading to. This doesn’t mean writing a biographical post but it could mean sharing some of your experiences on the topic at hand.
Lastly, part of selling yourself is to consider what is happening on your own blog during your guest posting stint. If you blog on someone else’s blog for a week but let your own slip you don’t provide those who come over to check more of your work out with much incentive to stick around. If anything - the times that you guest post you should put a concerted effort into making bigger efforts onto your own blog as it’s an opportunity to find new readers.
5. Be Reliable - if you commit to post daily for a week - post daily for a week. If you promise to write a series on a certain topic - finish the series and don’t leave it hanging mid stream.
If you can’t meet your commitments you let the blogger and their readers down and could damage your own reputation. It’s better to set lower expectations and over deliver than to promise the world and not deliver to the expectations that you’ve set.
6. Add Value - don’t view guest blogging as purely an opportunity for you to get new readers and promote yourself. Remember the reason that we talked about guest blogging being a good thing was that it was a win win win situation where you as the guest blogger might raise your profile but where the blogger and their readers need to come away from the interaction better off too.
Add genuine value to the blog you are writing on and you’ll win yourself new fans with readers and the blogger and could just find yourself with a regular guest blogging spot.
Being a good guest blogger is like being a good guest in any situation. Do everything in your power to leave the place you are visiting in better shape than when you arrived and you’ll create a great impression.
Last Friday night, I went to One World Hotel for my colleague’s project - ISentress Product Launch @ One World Hotel, by MSD.
We were in the function room called - Maple.
It’s a pretty straight forward product launch, started by the emcee inviting the chairperson to give a speech and to explain a lot of those medical terms which I don’t understand at all. Followed by the opening gambit with some light effects & confetti, calling off a new product launch called - ISentress.
After the product launch, I met up with my colleagues for this movie called “The Happening”, which is a little bit also not happening at all.
I rate the movie at 5/10. Please don’t go and watch.
Sunway Lagoon was stormed with little boys & little girls that afternoon when we are trying to go in the party, courtesy of Nigel for the tickets as he is working with Quiksilver and he can get tickets for us.
I texted Sandra when I’m in Bangkok, and so yeah we’ve decided to make this visit to this event, thinking to take some shots of this Summer Splash.
Fuck.
The door opens at 1.00pm and people started to go in, its seriously serious on the head counts comparing my event in my previous employment - Freshfaces Beach Party. (Hyped up long time ago and it’s deadly now). Our event is like everyone can enter to the party area easily without have to squeeze like mad, but this Roxy’s party, the kids have to queue for like 1-2 hours just to get themselves into the party?
What on earth?
Not fair! LOL.
Anyway, congratulation to ROXY for a successful party!
Well, in the end we didn’t make it to queue for this party as we are too old to squeeze with the hot-blood teenagers.
Instead, we watch people eating Carl’s Junior, the fastest person eating a Carl’s Junior, win something.
We meet up with Simonso & Smashpop at A&W for chit-chatting, too.
Simonso & Sandra
Smashpop, Rachel & Me
This cute little girl, she is soooooo cute and adorable. Everyone loves her so much! She is simply so naive!
