19th March - At 10.30 am, I arrived at the Coffee Bean in Balik Pulau and waited for the manager to come and brief me. After we met, he sent me a few documents including a budget, invoice, and quotation forms of the company, and told me to read through all the forms and the terms and conditions first and ask him if I didn't understand anything. I read through the forms and then asked him if there was anything I didn't understand. Besides that, the manager also talked about the company and its services, and he told me what I needed to have on hand, such as a computer, tape measure, and calculator. After that, the short briefing was over.

After that, the manager brought me to the new office, I met the boss there and he gave everyone a key to the new company and then gave us a brief tour of the new company. The new company is still under renovation, so we are still working from home. Since there are no events for now, so I have to wait for the boss for further arrangements and announcements.

In summary, I don't have many things to do this week for now, I just need to find out how to use the form and understand the terms and conditions within it. Then, I need to wait for further notifications arranged by the boss.

26th March - At 1 pm I got a call from my manager who asked me to come to Sunshine Centre Mall at 2 pm to help him measure the site. When I arrived, he took me to the event venue.

While waiting for the parcels, we entered the measurements of the site into the computer.

9th April - Nothing special to do today. I just need to finish the rest of my SWOT analysis from yesterday.

10th April - Early this morning, we went with the boss to Riffle Range Padang Tembak to supervise the setup of the canopy for Saturday’s event. When we were there, we followed the boss to talk to the organizers and went through the whole event venue. During the tour, the boss showed us the layout of the event and explained how the electric circuits should be connected. When everything went smoothly, we left the place. At 2 pm, we went back to the event venue to see how the setup was going. After that, we go out to the boss’s house to pick up some stuff to deliver to Georgetown for the client.

11th April – At 7.30 am, I followed my boss to the DHL warehouse to set up a simple project launching event. Once our set-up team arrived, we started setting up and I helped my boss get the things needed and set up for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After we finished setting up, we stood by and waited for the event to end and then started to clean up the things. After that, I followed my boss to The Top at Komtar Penang to discuss the details of another event with vendors. Then we rushed to another place to look at the venue and discuss the sound system placement with the other vendors.

*To sum up, the first few days of this week, I stayed in the office and did paperwork, the last few days of this week I had the chance to go to the events venue to see how to set up and learn how to deal with the clients and supplier, and I also had the chance to go with my boss to learn how to set up and organize a simple event, and what to record and measure when we have a site visiting at the events venue.

15th April - Nothing special scheduled for today, I need to continue to organize yesterday's company list and went to Georgetown by 5 pm to pick up 5 computers for my boss.

17th April - Today is the first day of setting up for the ASEAN Malaysia event. Our company are responsible for setting up the lighting, sound system, LED screen, conference tables and chairs and photocopiers. Therefore, I arrived at the event venue, which is the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang (E&O Hotel), early in the morning to assist my boss in arranging the vendors to set up the venue and equipment so that all the setups can be completed on time and smoothly. Besides that, the manager took us on a tour of the entire hotel to show us where the loading bay, the Grand Ballroom, the Macalister Ballroom, and other important venues were located. During the setup is ongoing, I can observe how to set up the LED screens and sound equipment, and how to arrange for the vendors to enter the venue in an orderly manner so that the whole setup of the event can be carried out in a smooth and organized manner.

18th April - I arrived at our event venue, E&O Hotel, at 9.30 am this morning. Today is the second day of setup and the rehearsal day for the event. Thus, we didn't have a lot to do today, we were simply on standby to help mediate any issues that might arise.

19th April – Today is the first day of the ASEAN Malaysia (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) Conference. Therefore, I arrived at the venue of the event, the E&O hotel, at 7 am this morning. When we arrived in the morning, the boss briefed us on what we needed to do and the positions we were responsible for. I was assigned to the Macalister Ballroom, where I was able to see how the technicians operated the lighting, sound and LED screen system and equipment. In addition, since this conference was an ASEAN event and the event covered different countries, the event was equipped with a live streaming system where I could see how the technicians operated the equipment and how smoothly they controlled all the equipment. After the conference, we will stay at the hotel to prepare for tomorrow’s event. We needed to set up the booth and posters, so we had to wait for the suppliers to arrive and then tell them how the posters and booths needed to be set up. By 9.30 pm, all the booths and posters were set up, and we headed home.

20th April - Today is the second day of the event, and we need to arrive at the venue before 7:30 am. Upon arriving at the venue, I first checked to ensure the printers were working properly, and I also checked to ensure the air coolers in the booths were working properly. After that, I went to help my boss print the event schedule for the technicians. Once the meeting started, I sat behind the ballroom to stand by. Around 8:30 p.m., the meeting ended, and we had to facilitate the technicians to rehearse the sound and live streaming equipment for tomorrow's event. I also had to help water the flowers in the grounds as they were wilting a bit. After finalizing tomorrow's schedule and rehearsing tomorrow's formation, we were able to go home.

*To summarize the week, I was busy attending a conference event at the E&O Hotel. Our company provides lighting, sound and LED system services, tables, chairs and printers. Therefore, it was a very demanding week and I needed to get up early as my house is far away from the event venue. However, I learnt a lot, such as how to set up the lighting, sound and LED systems, how to assist the event suppliers in unloading their goods and witnessing a formal corporate event that I had never been to before.

22nd April —Today is the fourth day of ASEAN Malaysia 2025. I arrived at the E&O Hotel at 7.15 am as usual.

After the conference ended at 6 pm, I went to help fill up the air cooler, and then it was time to go home.

23rd April - Today is the fifth day of the ASEAN Malaysia 2025 event. Today, I arrived at the event venue before 7.00 am. After that, I went to the usual checking of the printers and air coolers to see if they are functioning properly, and after that, I went to the ballroom to stand by. During the meeting, I got a call from the manager who asked me to help an officer connect her laptop to the printer, so I called the technician of the printer and asked him to teach me how to connect the laptop to the printer over the phone. After the meeting ended at about 5 pm, we went down to the grand ballroom on the ground floor to prepare for the evening dinner and performance. I was placed next to the stage to stand by and cue the performers. When all the performances were over, I went back to stand beside the stage. At about 10 pm, the whole show and dinner were over, and we helped the technicians pack up their instruments, and then I went home.

24th April - Today is the sixth and final day of the ASEAN Malaysia 2025 event. We still had to arrive at the event venue before 7 am. Upon arrival, I started the usual checking of the printers and air coolers to see if they were working properly and to keep track of how many prints were made on the two printers. When all the technicians arrived, we took a group photo in the ballroom. At 8:00 am, I stand by at the back. At about 9:00 am, the meeting started and went on until 6:00 pm. After all the guests left, we started to dismantle the equipment. The technicians dismantled the sound, lighting and LED equipment, while I helped to gather the office chairs provided by our company and put them in the storeroom of the hotel. I was also responsible for bringing the company's computers back to the office, and I left around 9 pm when it was all done.

25th April - Today, I also needed to go to the hotel to take the 17 units of office chairs provided by the company back to the office. Therefore, I arrived at the hotel at 1.30 pm to await the arrival of the lorry driver from the transport company. Some problems occurred, so the transport company's staff arrived at the hotel by 4.00 pm. When they arrived, I took them to the security guard's house to register, and then I took them to the storeroom of the hotel and asked them to wrap up all the chairs and move them to the lorry. After that, I need to rush to the office and open the door for them to drop off the chairs. Once everything is done, I can go home.

26th April - Today, I arrived at the hotel at 9 am and then I took the printer vendors up to the event venue to dismantle the printer equipment. After that, I also took the two laptops that belonged to our company, which were linked to the printer back to the office.

*In conclusion, this week is still busy with the ASEAN Malaysia 2025 conference meeting. This is an international-level event, so I had the opportunity to see how an international-level conference is arranged and organized. It was a great honor for me as an intern to see how an international conference is arranged and organized. Although this week is still very busy, I feel fulfilled to be able to learn different things.

After that, I helped to make name tags for the exhibitors, event crew, and visitors in the reception area. I also helped the person in charge of the event make chair tags and help her tag the chairs.

In addition, since there will be a fashion show today, around 11 am, I need to inform the exhibitors who have provided gold jewellery for the models to walk in the show according to the list, to go to the small room next to the stage to help the model to wear the golg jewellery. After that, I need to stand by the stage until the end of the show and then make sure all the exhibitors have their jewellery back before I can leave.

Around 7.30 pm, I was able to go home.

10th May - Today is the second day of the Gold Jewellery event, and I arrived at the venue at 9.30 am.

I helped to dismantle the posters until the end of the event at 6 p.m. I went home at around 7 p.m.

*To wrap up, this week I helped out at the gold jewellery show event at Setia Spice Convention Centre. During the event, I discovered a new registration system and learnt how to operate the system and help visitors with their registration. Besides that, I learnt how to communicate effectively with the exhibitors and arrange for them to help the models put on the gold jewellery before the fashion show started. So, this week was tiring, but I learnt something different because the boss said that this event is the first event in Penang which uses this new register system.
