Expression Training

Yesterday morning I went for training on Microsoft Expression right after I left office. Which resulting me do not have a chance to sleep and hungry as well.

So the journey goes. 1st me and my colleagues take a bus from Cyber Jaya to Putra Central then from there we take another bus to 1Utama (1U). We reach 1U at approximately 7am. We wait at 1U bus stop for abt 1 hour and finally we decided to walk since we have a “map” provided by the training centre via its website. So since we have the so call “map” we decided to walk and we get to know that it is 10mins walk. Below will be the map:




Guess what, while walking to the place, the destination just seems unreachable. It seem to me that it need a life time to reach there as I am damn tire where I did not sleep for the whole nite + morning and I am damn hungry as well. So what wrong with the map, it is some sort like the compass use by Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirate of the Caribbean), a compass that does not point North. The thing is that at least the compass can point to the place where the person wanted to go the most but this map, is just a rubbish as it does not put the exact thing that we will be able to see a long the way. For example, along the way we should be able to see 2 traffic lights while going straight end up we have turned and walk abt 100m plus only we saw the 2nd traffic light.
That is not really serious as we manage to reach there also. The main important thing is during we are having the training. When we went in the room, we saw some note written on the whiteboard which say:

“Please open a folder call Expression or go to your C:\ and double click on a file call “Expression.vmc”. The program is a bit slow. We are sorry for any inconveniences cause. Thank you.”

So it is really slow but we did manage get the Virtual PC to open. So finally the training class started. It is very much disappointed. This training centre has a quite good surrounding but the instructor sucksssssss (not all the instructor as i did not met all of them :P).

What is so disappointed abt this instructor?
1. When giving a presentation for the training, the language that she used is Malay + English. Shouldn’t this be a formal class which only used English?) -_+
2. As an instructor, she don’t know what is the product under Microsoft Expression (She mention Microsoft send her for training on Microsoft Expression)
3. All the pc that we use did not being setup properly. 7 of us go for the training and only 1 ppl get to have a pc that is ok ( that is me.. lucky me :) )
4. End up, we spend almost the whole morning copying a file through network that is a large as 5.64GB.
5. After finish copying, in a few minute time it will be our lunch time. (Conclusion: Wasting my time did not learn anything also)

After we finished our lunch, we decided to go 1U instead of going back to the training center as the intructor is boring, no standard, and etc. Cause the training is a total failure and wasting my time. So we end up in 1U not attending the class anymore. . . Actually we decided to go back home to get some sleep but the rain is too heavy.

While we are at 1U, we decided to go for a movie and at the same time waiting for the rain to stop so we walk to GSC located at New Wing of 1U. Then we bought 6 ticket (Me, Seaw Wei, Chee Wei, Soo Beng, Suet Yi, Mr. Wong) for the movie The Golden Compass.

Guess what, we end up watching movie at 1U instead of having training... haha.. :P from my point of view, the movie (The Golden Compass) is quite nice but some say is quite boring. I only reach home around 7pm.. :S pity me... :'( (24 hours without sleeping).
