5th Inter-civilizational Youth Engagement Programme (IYEP5)

Before end of year 2011, I think this is the biggest debt I need to pay to them....
and the method to pay is writing this post...
Since in the booklet of event, introduction of each participants, I'm being labelled as "blogger"
so, no choice....( but I remember I didn't mention I'm a blogger in application...quite weird, but it my honour too....haha!!!)


It was a 5days 4 nights programme, organised by International Movement for A Just World (JUST)
JUST is one of the NGO in Malaysia with main objective to develop public awareness about iniquities and injustices in the existing global system, and to nurture deeper appreciation among people less fortunate in the world by create better understanding to the young generation.

Inter-civilizational Youth Engagement Program (IYEP) is an annual JUST event and it come to 5th year in 2011.It held at Shah Village Hotel in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.


with the theme YOUTH: HOW TO BUY BACK YOUR FUTURE?
This theme attracted me to join... and I was wondering what will discuss in this programme.

So surprise that my essay entitled " What debt? Oh that debt..." written during application was include in the booklet.....( shy leh,pls don't read what I wrote lah....haha)
Welcome Speech from Dr Chandra Muzaffar, President of the JUST.


One of the speakers, Dr. Mohd Yunus bin Yasin
I like how he presented his speech, in unique way,
like the picture below, showing a other country note
Another speaker, Mr. John Cheong Zhit Hou, who is an ex-JUST YLP participant, sharing his experience about anti-corruption in Malaysia.

Throughout the programme, We were using World Cafe concept to deliver and expand our idea and opinion, which I feel an effective way to absorb all infomation in a short time.

and here are some work done by using World cafe concept, It's combining 4 mahjong paper together and we just draw and write anything you would like to share about certain topics.
The discussion divide into 3 parts: What is Debt? Who Created Debt? and How Do We Repay Debt?
And it mainly divided into several major points such as social values, culture, environment, economics, individual and community responsibility.

Besides discussion, we were doing a simple questionnaire to understand ourselves better on our learn style. I'm balancing type, which is flexible in moving around with many style but I must admit that I'm indecisiveness....( quite accurate in some sense.....)

Our "sugar cube"...actually it's like a mailbox and we can send our "secret" messages to anyone through this "sugar cube"
JUST is also the partner of Charter for Compassion , and all participants were involved in the launch of The People’s Charter to Create a Nonviolent World . More infomation about this launch you can go to this link .


One of the speaker, Dr Shad Faruqi, who share his thought on dead penalty in some countries. It is still a controversy whether dead penalty should abolish or not...

In the end of the night of 11November 2011, I signed the charter and poppies were placed on a ‘field". There is a long story about the poppies flower, and this flower is a remembrance of those who died in order to get freedom.( if I'm not wrong.....)
We had some performances such as sketch, singing, dancing...etc to spread our words to create non-violent world, I'm singing "We Are the World" with all the participants.


In another day, we were spreading our love by spending hours with refugee kids,
Here a group photo and we were excited to meet the kids...

The kids are around 7- 18 years old and most of them are not really understand English, but the communication between them were not affected by language barrier.

We prepared games, football challenges and have fun with them..They are energetic ( but I'm thinking I'm old already....haizzz.....).

I felt contented on what I have....and I'm lucky, live in a peaceful country,having free education.....
What I deserved everytime when I becoming a volunteer, I will appreciate what I have now, ( and I should learn more on how to deal with the children so that next time I can give more fun to the children.....hahahaha.....)

I appreciated I have a nice food throughtout the 5days 4 nights, a nice place to stay

appreciate that I able to know new friends from many other countries and background....
To end the post, I shared some of the words from my last group of presentation during the programme...( I think some of us feel familiar with this sentences right??)

16:00 Jia Ying 0 Comments

Rain?? Shine??

Before the party, I was in deep thought about this theme,It's a weather-related party...

when I look back my invitation card, dress code stated "wear your favourite weather" (too late to see it, or else I wear raincoat jor...haha, kidding la..)

No matter it's rain or sunshine,happy or sad, Wacoal, with you always....

Since its establishment in 2003, Wacoal Malaysia is fast becoming the leader in the domestic undergarment market. Riding on Wacoal's 62 years of brand history and 8 years track record in the country, Wacoal Malaysia strives to deliver the choosiest, quality undergarments to Malaysian women.



The party located at Saujana Hotel,a classy place with nice scenery...It's my 1st time at Saujana in Kuala Lumpur. (Actually,in Johor also have Saujana, but that is a Menteri Besar Johor house.haha!!)
Senja Italian Restaurant at The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur


A long runway for fashion show later.

Nice finger foods; wine, juice were provided--It's time to build networking!!!

Thanks you to Kay and Yeeing for the invitation.

Event start with ballet performance by 3 little dancers...

Opening speech by Hisao Sugiyama, the Executive Director of Wacoal Malaysia.
“The fundamental principle of Wacoal worldwide is based upon ‘Trust’,” said Mr Hisao Sugiyama. Trust is really important in every business sectors...trust lead to succeed

Buffet dinner was served...
I like dessert very much, and it decorated with cute christmas santa and snowman

Wacoal showcased its latest ensembles and the most dazzling of them all was the Fantasy collection
A range of vibrantly hued lingerie conceptualized for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day – for the upcoming season.
Jacinth, cerulean or vermillion – the 15 zesty shades featured in the Fantasy collection fully captured the essence of the latest colour frenzy.
Feminine yet playful, delicate swirls of laces intertwine with luxurious fabrics in most of the pieces; Others include a T-shirt bra embellished with intriguing shoulder straps.

All models are high ( very very very high) with very good body figure!!! hahaha!! envy!!

Almost all model are matching with some other items such as raincoat,flower, hat, accessories ...etc.. besides the undergarment, which I found it is creative and unique compared to other undergarment and lingerie fashion show. In my opinion, it also showed the background and idea of their design of undergarment.

Presentation of appreciation award to their business partners..Look the souvenir, It is a picture of bra....haha....

Group photo of female bloggers attend that night....

It my honour to involve in this party, and people from Wacoal are friendly and warm.

Like x100000 the goodies bag....haha!!!

I still know what is beautiful and what is in trend okay( just seldom apply to myself.......hahaha!!!)

This Fashion show is a collaboration with Malaysia International Fashion Association and an array of fashion designers and brands were presented in Malaysia International Fashion Week(MIFW).

==========================================

I searched the google map before going to Zebra Square( I never been there before)

I thought it is another shopping mall but I'm wrong...It is like a event hub,a place for organizing event, and it nearby Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC)

Zebra square so call zebra square because of their building with strip of black and white ( so sorry that no photo to show here....:o )



I bravely walked from KLCC to Zebra Square and It is a very very very long distance....(tired lo, never try for next time)

I think Zebra Square is still a new place since not so many people know the location( I found out on the way walking and asking for direction)

Anyway, It is eye-open experience and look forward more fashion event like this....

21:36 Jia Ying 1 Comments

Are you 21 or above??

If yes, here a big question to you : Are you a registered voter?

Did you know that the election is looming around the corner? If you’re a first timer, just head on to Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Malaysia (SPR) website for more information!

Malaysia is OUR home and it is OUR responsibility to vote!

As a Malaysia citizen,my vote may not change much but this is your right to choose what you feel is right...

when all votes come together, It can change,therefore don't underestimate your power..

So, when I celebrate my 21st birthday, instead taking golden key which remark me as an adult, I immediately go to nearby post office to register


yup, my application is "sah" already and I'm in the list of voter in my hometown.

For recent statistics, there are about 12 million registered voter in Malaysia,there are still many eligible voter who not yet register...

and if you want to become voter, quickly go to any post office nearby and bring along your IC...

and do it fast because
Election is coming soon...There are many rumour about date of election( I personally feel it will be after Chinese New year, just my guess la)

Your registration as voter take some time to process( you know la Malaysia "style".

Malaysia future depend on our vote.

look forward my first time.....as a voter in election in my country.
