The Ending of a Journey Together

After 2 years, BIDP Batch 1 comes to a close in September 2014. With the final Performance Evaluation being filled by supervisors or managers of each participant, we conclude our tracking on them. We would like to thank all the participating companies; Agilent Technologies, CCM, JKM, ABI, and last but not least IPharm, for their support throughout this span of two-years, from supporting every team building and CSR event, to sending in Performance Evaluation (PE) reports on time, to providing a conducive and comfortable training space. Without your support and cooperation this training wouldn’t have been a success.

It has been a joy and a learning process along the ups and downs throughout the training program. We are glad to say that the learnings have been brought forward to be used in the BIDP II batches 1 and 2 to make things better than the last.

The PEs which have been followed up every quarterly showed steady progress for the better for majority of the participants and that has been very encouraging to see, that the training has served its purpose of enhancing technical and skills and knowledge of the participants to be more effective and efficient in their workplaces. We sincerely hope that it will only get better for the participants in their career paths wherever it may be.

As friendships and connections have been made in the time spent together here in Penang for the training, we hope that these friendships and networks will continue strongly in the academic and industry to help each other grow in our respective fields, tapping on each other’s expertise and fields of knowledge. May this spur us on to be enthusiastic for our work in the pharmaceutical, chemical and life science industries respectively.

We at HAT would like to wish all the participants of BIDP I, all the very best in your future endeavours in the company and industry. Do keep in touch with us and for anything that we can be a help to you, do feel free to come to us, as we will be more than happy to share and help you in whatever ways we can.

Special thanks goes out to TalentCorp Malaysia for being a big part of the BIDP training, for being the main sponsor and for the support in coming all the way to meet up with the participants and host company representatives. May we continue in close partnership for programs to come!

Teambuilding Fun!

The day was beautiful: The sun was out to play, the soft breeze was blowing, the skies were as blue as they could be with puffs of white clouds just enough to give us the occasional shade.. 

What more could we ask for? It was perfect for our day out for team building!

Team building take one: Air Itam dam team building facility, Penang

First, there was breakfast to give everyone the strength they need. And maybe to wake some people up.. followed by some simple workout steps through aerobics, led by the person in charge from the facility.

Then the real fun began.. from rope climbing and tyre swings which test arm strength, to tight rope challenges and high wall obstacle where ultimate team efforts are needed, the unity and connection the group had with each other was truly shown. Whenever there was a member who had difficulty or seem to be struggling with a task, someone was always around to help him/her get up and get through it, even if it ends up in ridiculous giggles and eruptious laughter :) 

After it all, lunch was provided and the tired young people made their way home.. 

Team building activities: aerobics, rope climb, tyre swings, wall obstacle, and tight rope challenge! 

The next team building session leading had to be left to a friend of mine who was kind enough to help out after I could not make there. The day went on as planned, with two field games being taught and played to its maximum fun on the field of Youth Park, Penang. The games were Captain's Ball and Ultimate Frisbee.

Simple rules and regulations were explained before the games started with Ultimate Frisbee. It was great fun with the day so clear and friends who were sporting to be with.

Ultimate Frisbee!

Next! It was Captain's Ball time.. well, after some rest time and drinks that is. Also, some more rules and regulations once again, since they are two different games.

After that it was rest and then to lunch together! 

A very big Thank You goes to the Game Master of this day, Mr Donavan Ong for an awesome game time! 

And of course, to all the participants who made it that day, Thank You for coming along to make it a success. Just for being good sports, I applaud you! 

Till we meet again for something like this again, take care and all the best!

Meet Ups for Makan-times!

Even though we don't see each other as frequently as we'd like, all the times that we've met up for a lunch / dinner, were memories to add to our BIDP family album!

Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I will let the pictures speak for themselves below:

Food outings with our trainers!

Birthday celebrations in and out of class!

And there were everyday lunches, Graduation lunches, BBQs and Hari Raya makan times too!

And dinner times together also, when we get to organize it :) 

May we continue to share fellowship this sweet with each other, even though we might be from different batches of BIDP.. I'm glad we can all be friends.
