Ikut trip bersama Mr. Nash atau Nasaruddin Mohiden yang juga pemilik NQ Services di mana sudah mengendalikan program skills and training ni selama 8 tahun , adalah sesuatu yang aku tak jangka sama sekali. Ditambah lagi pula aku kena turut sama jadi tour guide ( secara tak langsung aku turut kena bagitau sedikit sejarah bila ada di lokasi atau bagitau tempat tempat menarik ). 

Pada program pertama ni , aku berpeluang bersama sama pelajar pelajar dari Jombang , Jawa Timur dari jurusan Nursing dan Midwifery. Barulah aku kenal erti pertukaran budaya yang selama ni aku cuma baca dan tonton di tv jer. Rupa rupanya sangat menarik dan inilah dikatakan serumpun ! Banyak yang aku belajar perkara baru pada trip ni ! 

Mereka ni , akan alami sendiri apa yang mereka belajar selama ini di kolej mereka untuk persediaan selepas abis belajar. Antara tempat mereka pergi ialah Mahsa Universiti , KPJ Ampang Puteri , Klinik Desa , Klinik Kesihatan . Di sana mereka akan bertemu dengan tenaga pengajar yang akan berpeluang untuk bertanya apa jua soalan dan juga menerokai teknologi teknologi perubatan yang terkini. Best kan ? Dan melawat tempat tempat menarik mestilah ada kan ! Antaranya , KLCC , Central Market , Bukit Bintang ,Seremban dan banyak lagi ! 

Terima kasih pada Mr. Nash dan juga NQ Services atas peluang begini. Satu usaha yang cukup aku kagumi terutama bila tengok dia layan dan berikan yang terbaik pada mereka. Banyak aku kena belajar ni dan menyeronokkan. Penat ? Jangan cakap laa.. sampai demam demam aku ni ! Hahaha..

Inilah antara pengalaman pengalaman baru yang aku tagihkan selama bergelar blogger ! Aku pernah belajar mengenainya tapi tak pernah merasainya...Dan akhirnya...

2020. More or less 10 years I’ve dwelled in the realm of social media and blogging since I started the end of 2009. Much have I experienced. The good, the bad and the ugly. Cest la vie. Alhamdulillah, life’s lessons taught me to keep pushing, everytime. I did it for the sake of my family. As long as it is halal. As long as it pays the bill. As long as it feeds the family. In shaa Allah.

In everything I do, I always have a long term plan. I’m not the kind to settle for mediocrity. I crave challenges. I yearn for new things. New experiences. Just so long as it puts food on the table. I’m all  in.

Alhamdulillah, Allah answered my prayers. I got what wanted. It started when I joined the ‘Pesona Seremban’ trip. I got to make new contacts, at both personal and professional level. It’s why I like to go on tourism trips. A good opportunity came rolling in front of my eyes and grabbed it with both hands.

January 2020 started off really well. I got to put Malaysia on the map. Only I got to do that in a different way. It’s what I always dreamt of doing since I stepped into the tourism industry. Few people know this but I, once, worked at MOTAC. That was where I had the thought of marketing local tourism products to the world at large. Now I have the opportunity.

What’s interesting for me was, this is not about the conventional tourism industry. I learned that there are a lot more types of tourism. I finally understood health tourism and study tourism. I heard it all while working at MOTAC but it never made sense to me. Now I understand the importance of these two types to our country. Call me slow.

I went on a trip and it was a whole new experience. I was even a stand in tour guide when I was asked to explain to others on the trip about the history of some places we went to visit. On this trip there were nursing students and faculty members from Jombang, Jawa Timur exploring and learning about health and study tourism in Malaysia.

They got to see the way things work in real life vs what they learned in college. We were all taken around to Mahsa University, KPJ Ampang Puteri, Klinik Kesihatan and Klinik Desa as part of the study tour. They met and interacted with real professionals of the health industry. We also visited other tourist hot spots like KLCC, Central Market, Batu Caves and a whole lot more. It was a good trip.
A special thanks to Mr Nash @ Nasaruddin Mohiden of NQ Services for organizing the trip. It was a real eye opener. I was always amazed by how Mr Nash so tirelessly gives his absolute best everytime. And he’s been doing this for the past 8 years. That explains how good he is. He loves what he does.
I learnt a lot. Especially the fact that there’s so much I don’t know and also how tiring it is to organize tours and being a tour guide. I felt like passing out once or twice.

This has been the kind of experience I crave for as a blogger. Heard about it, never understood it. But now , I’m experiencing it first hand. Superb.. It’s going to be a fun year of learning.
