The Last Day of the V-Sigma Workshop

Today is the last day of the V-Sigma workshop. After morning and afternoon sessions, there was a closing ceremony held as well as certificate presentation for all the participants of the workshop. I feel that I have gained much from the workshop. After the financial management module that I mentioned previously, we had 2 other modules to cover which included Strategic Negotiation skills and Executive Legal skills for the second half of the workshop. There was a lot of role playing involved in the negotiation module that we did and so on. I've met some of my old x-Maktab Sains school mates as well as a former MS teacher who were also participating in the workshop. It was a fruitful experience and I hope that the skills and new knowledge that I have gotten from the workshop will find its useful application in the future. :)

Below are some piccies from the second half of the workshop.

This is such a positive song, I love it! :) Just know that there is always a silver lining for any negative things that happened in our life. There are some rough days while some are good days. In the end, we just need to be positive that we will be okay! :D

Be Ok by Ingrid Michaelson

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today

Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok

Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts

Just give me back my pieces,
Just give them back to me please
Just give me back my pieces,
And let me hold my broken parts

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok
Know that maybe I will be ok
Know that maybe I will be ok
