Wanna be an emcee?

Learning the skills of an emcee (Master of Ceremonies) is one of the fastest ways to give our personality a boost.

It is an amazing day at UTAR (University Tunku Abdul Rahman). The students arrive with a strong desire to learn.

When the students realize that they have to go up to the stage to perform like a real emcee, they are all fired up to do their best. Although they have little or no experience in emceeing, they have the single-minded purpose to rise to the challenge and put themselves to the test. So great is their grit that they almost forget to eat.

At the end of the day, their personality shines on stage. They use their voice to power up their act and use their body language to charm and entertain. They learn one of the ground rules – how to enjoy themselves and have a good time on stage.

This bunch of young emcee wannabes are a joy to work with. The session stirs my spirit and soothes my soul.

Well done, UTAR !!!

A STEP in the right direction

I enjoy meeting new faces, working with new people and putting myself to the test in new environments.

I step into F.S.T.E.P. (Financial Sector Talent Enrichment Programme) on 09 August 2008.

The graduates who are undergoing this one-year intensive course are given a great opportunity by the Malaysian financial sector (comprising banking, insurance and Takaful organizations) to learn the ropes and to put their best foot forward in their new careers.

The students whom I meet on 09 August 2008 are articulate, intelligent and enthusiastic. By joining F.S.T.E.P. they have taken a step in the right direction. Bravo!
