The Actual Space

Remember my entry on 'A space of my dream'? Actually, what I meant is the Studios..It's our newly opened space , my husband like to call it Studios, tapi it is more like a seminar room la..Bole la lebih kurang maksudnya I have my own space that I can create/ organize anything I want.

The new company , FIFTYone Training & Consultancy Sdn Bhd will be focused on education. Any kind of education-based events / agenda, be it Workshops, Trainings, Seminars, Forum / Talk Show. We are now extremely doing marketing to Corporate and Independent Organization on training and consultancy. Cakap je nak training ape, semua kitorg bole aturkan.

We got a place at Kota Damansara, where we transformed it into a hall-like room. It is mainly to cater the newly opened business. Max capacity is 130 pax. ( At first we thought it can fit 200 people) Nasib baik for the first event we only rent the banquet chairs, then only we know tak muat. Kalau beli 200 naya je mana nak letak semua kerusi lebih tu..dan RM RM nya...

Decor adalah idea saya@kami berdua. Ulangan. Kami. Tiada Interior Decorator. Kitorg yang pilih kaler kapet, warna cat, nak susun bilik2 , sampaila ke tombol sink beli sendiri (ceh ceh..padehal sbb takde bajet)

In case u guys have been wondering ape bende2 rectangle merah dan hitam kat dinding tu, itu adalah Acoustic Panel. Fungsinya untuk menyerap bunyi2 an supaya tak mengganggu ketenteraman awam. In a way, die berfungsi macam decor jugak. Harga jangan tanya. Mampu mensupply shampoo Rejoice ku selama 30 tahun. Suke je nak exaggerate,padehal syampu rejoice baru RM 13.90 sebotol dan 5 bulan baru habis sebotol.

'DRUMS AND PERCUSSION WORKSHOP'

The first event is 'Drums & Percussion Workshop' , which was held on 6 & 7 Feb 2010. Well, obviously u can tell whose idea it is. Since he knows a lot of people on the line, easier for us to get all the top names in the Drums and Percussion industry.

Crew tolong pasang sarung kerusi.

We are proud to welcome TKSU of Jabatan Kebudayaan and Kesenian Negara, Dato' Mohammed b Mohd Daud, to come and officiate the Studios. We are so proud sangat2 yang tak sangka dia nak datang tempat kami yang tak seberapa ni.

In his speech, he actually praised our effort in initiating the place and the event. Kembang pungkuk sat, bila dia sebut '..saya puji usaha En Azri dan Isteri..' ceh ceh.. (tiba2 dah bayangkan laki aku jadi Dato') wah wah melayang jauh sangat ni..(ernie, u know what i mean, cita2 kita utk beli G..)

Ok, berbalik ke alam nyata. Dalam isi speech dia juga dia cakap actually kerajaan memang akan bantu pihak2 swasta macam kitorg ni yang nak venture into education, especially kebudayaan sebab kat Malaysia ni sangat kurang orang yang betul2 bergiat serius dalam bidang ni. Dan sebagainya (nak dipendekkan cite)

Dato' Mokhzani, Dato' Mohammed & The Director

After Dato' officiates our Studios, we present the token of appreciation and the workshop started.

One of the session , 'Brazilian Percussion'

One of the hot session, Pergendangan Melayu by Kamrul Husin. Byk sgt soalan dari peserta sampai dragging gile. Lunch patut kul 1, jadi 2.30pm (dalam hati, hoi korang ni tak lapa ke? )

The attendees from MBPJ, Johor and Pahang and the crews

As a conclusion, beside the Dato' Mohammed's attendance, our target was actually not achieved. Many participants made last minute cancellation. As a businesswoman, I always anticipate the worst. So, we kinda ok with that but will surely do a different strategy next time. But the most important is, we had fun and i bet the participants yang sporting2 itu pun juga :)
