A month plus ago, I've attended the AsiaWorks Basics training. It is a self-development training
which is also recognised in a few countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Indonesia.
The basic training is basically a place for you to discover yourself. It is like a mirror to reflect
who you really are and what you didn't realise about yourself. The purpose of people joining
mostly are because they want to improve the quality of their lives. Mostly in career and finances,
some in relationships and also in health. And some are just pretty lost of what they really want..
haha. People in there came from all walks of life. From young to old, from housewives to a
successful career man, children and parents and some with health or mental abuse problems.
The reason why I joined is because my brother and Hendrik asked me too. My brother have
finished all 3 levels (Basic, Advance and leadership programme). While Hendrik finished till
advance and I can see changes in them. Full of confident and motivated. They feel it is a really
good training that everyone should attend. They kept convincing me to join and so after 5
months I finally joined cause I'm curious and thought maybe I will really discover something
new there. Actually my biggest objective there is to know some new friends and thought i
could have some fun.... . I know I know...I shouldn't join because of these purposes.
In this training, it's not all talking and listening. We did alot of fun and exciting exercises which
helps individuals realise their own behaviour and realise how it reflects on our lives. Most of
the exercise could make people really emotional and some might make people really mad.
You'll see alot of tears rolling down. Yea...I did cried at one exercise. I cried cause I'm
touched and not because I'm sad. Even some guys which say they never cried since baby had
actually cried infront of everyone. You really can't imagine what's going on in there. Everyone
has some confession to make, some secrets to tell and some burden to share. You can say
it's dramatic.
So what do I think about this training???
It's totally an eyeopening experience where you really feel the presence of everyone being so
warm hearted and caring. We all become close friends in just 5 days! But honestly, I don't
feel that I need these trainings as I feel I'm quite aware of who I really am and I feel all the
values that they are trying to give is already planted in me. I'm not trying to be over
self-confident or think that I'm a perfect person. I just think that I'm learning along the way and
I am really blessed that I'm brought up in a good environment with alot of people supporting me.
People who join the training discover different things. So it's not to say that this training is
worthless. I do feel some kind of a new energy emerging in me after this training. But, they say,
in order to maintain it and go to a higher level...we have to go for the advance level! ahekk~~~
no thank you. Maybe next time. Let me do it on my own. I believe I can do it.
Here are some pictures taken on the graduation day.
I'm really happy my family manage to attend too  . They actually feel kind of awkward as it's
only a 5 days training. They have no idea what is going on. Many of us was hugging and crying
when they see their family and friends which appears without us knowing it. Actually I know
they are coming laa...cause I attended my brother and Hendrik's graduation ma and know
what's going on already. So I did not cry...cause I wasn't surprised?? 
Also meet my new friends~~ . Mission accomplished
