2nd day of ICT workshop

May 20, 2007 at 10:33 am (Events)

20th May 2007 – Gurney Hotel,
Penang,Malaysia.

2nd day of the YLDA ICT workshopFor the rest of my friends who might not know what YLDA is, basically,YLDA stands for Young Liberals Democrats of Asia. So Y-L-D-A, how do you pronounce it?Well,it’s actually pronounce as “eel-da” get it?

As for 2nd day, we manage to have the opportunity of using the Penang’s Parti Gerakan Rakyat
Malaysia head quarters’ meeting hall as our workshop venue of the day.

We kicked started the day with the opening ceremony by Yg.Berbahagia Dato Chia. Besides the 25 participants of this YLDA ICT workshop, those who also attended were members of the
Penang’s Parti Gerakan members,MCMC representatives and members of the press.

After the opening ceremony, we started our session with a presentation by two representatives from the MCMC department. Well..it was quite dull because the presenters were reading everything on the screen. “That” is a very bad way of doing a presentation. Some of the participants started “fishing”,some of them just don’t care what’s going on up front,some pretends to be listening but you can tell that the mind is somewhere else.

After the “extraordinary boring” presentation, we had our lunch.

After we got back from lunch,it’s the podcasting session.This session is held by Mr.Abe from
Philippines. He gave us a brief introduction of what pod casting is and showed us the way of running the program-Audacity(freeware).

I would say that I prefer using other software rather than using Audacity because it’s not that user friendly. And it doesn’t support wave format. So, for those of you who wanna do podcasting, REMEMBER u have to convert it to MP3 format before you can actually use the audio file that you’ve recorded. As for the background music, please make sure that the file that you’re going to use is not copy protected.

Hm….what else can I talk about 2nd day of the workshop??…

Oh yea,the rest of the group went for a ferry ride.Where was I then? I went back to the hotel and change into my crocs. I had blister on my toe after wearing heels for a day.Aw~~

After the heavy dinner, we just head back to hotel to continue work on our blogs and on podcasting.

A friend dropped by for a little bit of chat.Then we yada yada yada for quite sometime.

Then I went out for a little bit of drink with David and guys and headed back for my late shower at about 12 midnite.
