Thanks to Rachel for always helping me in technical issues ,also whenever I am lost and so confused.

Thanks to Dr alsooooooo thanks for always give us suggestions whenever we need it no matter during team work or during sharing sessions.

And of course, a huge terima kasih with extra toppings to Dr. Faiz and Rachel! You two didn’t just teach us . you opened my eyes 👀 (and lowkey my soul LOL) on how to face my fear of talking. I used to be scared of speaking (especially in English 😅), but now... at least I panic with style.
Even when we answer salah, both of you still hype us up like, “YESSS, you got this!” instead of, “Umm… try again.” 😂 LOVE IT SO MUCH. You guys are the real MVPs. 🫶🎤💖

Dr. Faiz, your sessions were insightful and engaging — from mastering communication and the 7Cs, to preparing CVs, presentations, and developing a professional mindset. You’ve inspired us to think beyond the classroom and apply what we’ve learned with confidence.

Rachel, thank you for being so helpful and supportive behind the scenes. Your coordination, patience, and smooth facilitation helped us stay focused and made the learning experience more enjoyable.

Lastly, I’d also like to thank my Scenario 4 teammates — it’s been a pleasure working and learning with all of you. From solving case studies to preparing presentations, everyone gave their best, and I truly appreciate the teamwork and positive energy.

Thank you all for making this journey meaningful and memorable.

Not forget for Dr. Faiz and Rachel, thank you both for your guidance and support over the past four weeks. I’ve learnt a great deal from you, and I truly appreciate the knowledge and experience you’ve shared with me. I will do my best to apply these insights effectively in the future. If I’ve said anything inappropriate or caused any discomfort during our conversations, please accept my sincere apologies. I hope we’ll have the chance to meet again in the future and if the opportunity arises, it would be an honour to work alongside you as colleagues.

I also want to express my sincerest appreciation to Dr.Faiz and Rachel. Thank you so much for being patient with us and for sharing your invaluable techniques and skills, drawn from your personal experience. I still remember how everyone, myself included, was shy and quiet on the first day. But you guys were always there for us, guiding us step by step with unwavering support. I truly appreciate everything you, the TAs, and Petros have given us, whether in terms of knowledge, practical skills, or personal insights. I hope you stay healthy and always remember to take breaks when working long hours or whenever you're not feeling your best. I sincerely hope we can cross paths again, somewhere, sometime in the future.

Thank you once again.

Best regards,

Bernard Kieu

Thank You, Dr. Faiz and Miss Rachel! ❤️

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the GIFT Sarawak programme and to have met amazing mentors like you.

To Dr. Faiz:
Thank you for teaching us so many valuable things we hadn’t learned on campus before, like the 7Cs of communication and the Dig Deep approach to problem-solving. You also introduced us to AI tools we’d never used, broadening our skills. Even when we were confused during sessions, you were always patient, giving us extra time to figure things out. Throughout the course, you shared your personal experiences and provided so much practical guidance—this will definitely help us during our internships and future careers. Though the learning period was only three weeks, it was packed with meaningful lessons. We truly appreciate all the effort you put into preparing the sessions. Thank you so much!

To Miss Rachel:
Thank you for always reminding us about class schedules and promptly helping us whenever there were issues with the LMS. You’re so kind and supportive! Even when we had problems submitting tasks, we could always message you for help. We’re also grateful for the interview tips and experiences you shared with us—it means a lot!

Both of you have made this journey unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for your dedication. Thank you! We’ll miss you!🥰

Thank you also to TA Rachel because throughout this journey, you have walked alongside us not just as an academic guide, but as someone who genuinely believed in our potential. Your consistent effort to help us grow, improve, and push past our limitations has made a lasting difference in our lives. Every lesson, every discussion, and even every challenge we faced together has shaped us into more capable, confident individuals. 🫶🏻✨

I truly appreciated the effort and collaboration shown by my Group 1 team members Atirah, Rachel, iverson and Michell. Everyone contributed actively, but I’d especially like to recognize for their clear communication and problem-solving mindset. They helped the group stay focused and made sure everyone’s ideas were heard, which created a very supportive environment.

Also, thank you amazing dr.faiz and beautiful Rachel for helping us, answer our questions and always supporting us. That’s great time in scenario 1 to 4. I would never forget these time.

I wish we can met in the future!!😭😭

First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to GIFT Sarawak for giving me the opportunity to be part of this incredible programmed. Throughout this journey, I’ve gained so much knowledge and insight things I never imagined I’d learn. Since joining, my mindset has truly shifted for the better and I'm so grateful for the experience.

A very special appreciation goes to the person who made a huge impact on us Dr. Faiz. Thank you for your patience, guidance and for sharing your knowledge with us. I’ve admired you since I was just seven years old, watching you and Dr. Sheikh on TV during your astronaut days. Never would I have thought I’d one day be learning directly from you what an honour!

To Rachel and the entire GIFT team thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes, for making this programmed a success, and for always being there to support and guide us.

And finally, to my amazing Scenario Group thank you for the laughter, teamwork and learning moments during our breakout sessions. It’s been such a joy working with all of you. Keep your energy high and I wish you all the very best in your future endeavors!

I’m honestly so emotional while writing this. Thank you all so, so much from the bottom of my heart! 💖

We have been going through our journey for 4 weeks so fast!

I would like to thank the groupmates in Group 4. It was very happy to work with you guys in handling the tough Excel and presentation objections and also the surprises today. We learned and helped each other together.

And Well Done! We did it!😎

By the way, it's not just the end of Scenario 4, but the end of my journey in the professional readiness week in GIFT since orientation.

I would like to say a big 😍thank you to Dr Faiz and Miss Rachel for teaching us new knowledge and guiding us all the way. I did learned a lot of new skills like problem solving and writing formal emails or memoranda. I also learned to use amazing digital and AI tools like Wix and Synthesia.

Especially, I had gave opportunity to be more extroverted and talk more and communicate effectively. This really helped me a lot to be more confident.

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

I would also appreciate the groupmates before this (Scenario 1, 2 & 3). It's really interesting to meet you all and work together, even though we didn't know each other before.🤩

Today is the last day of the scenarios in gift, but not the end of our relationship.

Hopefully, we can meet each other physically in the future!

I had learnt lots of things in GIFT programme. I didn't expected that I can learn some many skills and techniques and digital tools. I have made lots of new friends during this GIFT programme. They are friendly.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.💪 I always remember this motivation quote from Dr. Faiz.

It is an amazing journey in this programme. Although I felt tired, but it is worth of it!!!

Also, thank you so much Dr Faiz and Rachel for always being here with us, supporting us from day one. Time flies so fast, I have just got used to seeing you guys everyday and suddenly today is our last day together😭 Hope to that I will have the chance to meet Dr and Rachel in person <3
