Wonderful Wanders of Hamano Tsubasa: 6th June

This was a "mission" given by my father - I had to go to Score A briefing at Bandar Tasik Selatan on 6th. As a "faithful" son, I accepted the "mission" without any questions. Fortunately, it was Saturday, and to reduce my weekend boringness, I take the chance. And I need to reach there before 3.30 pm of the day before it was the time for the briefing began.

After performing Zohor prayer, I asked my roommate, Fikri to send me to Bangi's KTM Komuter Station via motorcycle. Upon reaching there, luckily, after buying the tickets, the train immediately came to the station! Thank goodness it was not the "Sardine-packed" time, but i only leaning by the train's door since every seats already seated.

OK, now reached the BTS (Bandar Tasik Selatan) station. Now, I need to go to a building called "Metro Biz Centre", somewhere nearby to "Wisma TEKUN". Where is that? Thank goodness I had a person to contact with: Puan Jah, the woman whom my father contacted with to get information about this Score A briefing. After able to contact her, she told me to find a large blue building beside a Shell gas station, and find an office named "ZRB". Alright, now I had to walk! (Now, it's 2.45pm)

This is BTS LRT + Komuter Station... far view...

There are some graffittis before the overhead bridge, interesting art talent!

OK, now I'm on the bridge, and OK, I think I'm seeing the Shell logo...

Down from the bridge, I saw a cat under a van! [COMING SOON: Upcoming Posts about Cats!]

OK, forget about the cat, I'm already reaching the Shell station, almost there... Oh? The blue building!

After past the Shell station, now I know that blue building was actually Wisma Tekun! (Third pic was the shop lots on its right)

So, I get to the beyond side of the building. It's a far walk you know...
And I saw the "real" Tekun office!

Then, there's a little gap after the big building. Puan Jah said the place would be beside a shop next to a restaurant called "Aluha". So, I really saw the shop in the gap, and I go straight towards it...

...and she mentions the ZRB office's number was "26-1", but I didn't see the ZRB sign outside the shop. After wandering around in front of the shop for 10 minutes, I decided to find the number "26-1" between the buildings, specifically. And yes, the office was indeed next to the restaurant, there's an open door with an elevator inside, but the number beside the door was a bit small... with a veeeerrrryyy smaaallll "sign"... under the number.

And I entered the door, and there is some stairs next to the elevator. I get to the 2nd floor, and YES! I found the office! (It's 3.15pm now)

Inside the office... (these pics should be linked... into a wide-eye view...)

You can see there's a door with lots of chair and a whiteboard, right? That was the place I heard the briefing. Here's a shot inside the room. I can't take more pics now in this room, coz "If there are some handphone sounds in this room, let us see him together!", said the staff in the room.

So, what it is all about? It's about SCORE A'S MLM PROGRAMME... Let me give my own interpretion about the programme based from what I heard from the briefing....

Score A was an online tuition intended for Standard 1 to Form 3 Students (Form 4 & 5 will be launched at 26th June). It includes several e-test papers for the students to answer via online website, which fits the students' current learning outline. There are many interesting and interactive features that normal test papers wouldn't have. (Of course, it's internet! Not answer-on-the-paper-sheet!) The most interesting thing is its game reward system - sort like a mission-based game - if you could achieve above 80% mark of easy-level questions, then you could proceed to answer the next medium-level questions. These features encourage students to get better marks and faster answering time.

Because of its popularity (among most schools in Malaysia & also approved by Malaysian ministers!), the MLM (multi-level marketing) concept was applied to give chance to people to sell their products and as extra income to the company. So, this briefing tells basic introduction about the MLM strategy but not how to perform the process fully. (Saya pun masih tak paham konsep MLM ni apa sebenarnye!)

After around 1 hour briefing (Tak boring pun!), I met Puan Jah (the woman in the middle in this second pic) to ask again about the MLM concept (but I forgot it again, LOL!) and she tries to make me understand, but since I was kinda blurry, she suggest me to go to next week's full course in Putrajaya with my father (since he's the one who suggest me to hear the briefing), but the registration fee per person is RM68!

Oh, and I'm also still blurr about why I SHOULD hear the briefing, I asked my father about it. My father actually wanted ME to JOIN the MLM programme! He also wanted to join the programme too but he couldn't come to hear the briefing due to several circumstances. My only gripe is if I really COULD joining such marketing programme...

Hmm... then I went back to KTM Station to go back to KUIS, but suddenly... bad luck strikes me - my phone's battery went out again! Now I couldn't contact Fikri to fetch me to the station, so I HAD to took a private van ride instead.

Upon reaching KUIS after paid the driver RM3, I remembered that today is Saturday, so...
IT's PASAR MALAM TIEM!!!!

During Maghrib's azan, I reached my dorm to charge my handphone first, before leaving the room to perform solat at masjid together with Fikri (he pitied about my unability to contact him to fetch me at the KTM station before...). I estimated that around 30 minutes, the phone would be charged around 50% of its power. But when I returned to the room to get the handphone, it was 100% - fully charged! Strange, indeed - While I always keep running low on batteries, the handphone charging time was lower than some other phones.

OKlah, so I went to Bandar Seri Putra's only weekly Pasar Malam with Fikri after I haven't "visit" here for some time since semester 5. Fikri revealed that he NEVER went to this Pasar Malam before! Huh?! Well at least I could show him the delicacies available at the Pasar, and told him about how I could spend at least RM8 every time I went to Pasar Malam! But he met his many friends instead... but I don't...
