BRATsLangkawi Day 3 & 4

Hi lovelies! Welcome back to my blog. This will be the last and final entry on my BRATsLangkawi adventure.



Day 3

For Day 3, we visited a mangrove site where we actually learnt about how mangrove trees really helps create a cleaner ecosystem for us and is also an essential to thousands of species. We interviewed Mr. David Bradley where he shares about his journey from Melbourne to Langkawi and his passion for cleaning up the ocean :)

BRATsLangkawi 2015 Day 1

For those unaware, I attended a young journalist programme organised by The Star from the 2nd to the 5th of December. I was chosen for the camp in June and really enjoyed myself there, thus making me to decide to go for the alumi camp.

For this camp, it was held in Langkawi at Berjaya Hotel. My friends (whom I met from the previous camp) and I decided to take the same flight there together.

We departed for the airport at around 6 in the morning and the skies were still dark.
 Thanks mom and dad for ferrying me all the way there c:

By the time we got there it was around 7am and it was after dawn.

When I arrived at KLIA2 I met up with James and a couple of other BRATs and we boarded our flight together.

The hotel we stayed at had a really cool concept too. We stayed in chalets which are located all around the main lobby. The only way to get to our rooms are either by walking or the shuttle bus (which takes forever to arrive). 

When we got there we took a tour around the hotel before the other participants arrived. 
And I must say, the ambiance and scenery were indeed lovely.

 





















We had workshops the whole day until we were finally paired up for an assignment where we learnt how to write a dummy story.

We ended our day pretty late that night. My roommate was hungry so she took some mash potato back to our room but she couldn't find a way to heat it up so she settled for hairdryers HAHA. It was so funny, literally the highlight of my day :')
