Until Now, I still Feel like "I am DREAMING!!!"
We WON HENKEL INNOVATION CHALLENGE 7 (SOUTH EAST ASIA)
and
We are GOING TO GERMANY!!! (For International Final)
Can't Believe This! Thanks God a Zillion!!! God BLESS Us.
I have been asked again and again "What is The Competition is All About?"
It is an Innovation Idea Presentation with a Business Plan.
Innovative product that is practical and marketable in 2050.
Of course the ideas are either under category of Adhesive Technology, Laundry or Beauty Care (Henkel businesses)
My partner (Andrew Yap) and I are proposing a Hair Care Product that enables everyone to wash hair without using hands and within one minute. (This is a basic idea)
~~~ During Preparation ~~~
Thanks God that we are chosen to represent Malaysia in South East Asia Henkel Innovation Challenge 7 (SEA HIC 7). One month preparation with one week CNY break. Partner and I have super small friction during the preparation. Glad to have such partner, I have made the RIGHT choice. Haha.
Big Thanks to our mentor, Louis Shim, Marketing Manager
Schwarzkopf Professional, Malaysia & Singapore. He has guided us on the slides and presentation skills. Super Useful Advises from him.
~~~ During the competition (26 -28 Feb 2014) ~~~
We are invited to stay in Hotel Boulevard, Midvalley City. So, we also take it as VACATION!!! Wohoo~~~ At first I aimed for the Champion, but I have adjusted to be "Enjoy the process and Hand the result to God." While for my partner, he totally goes for vacation. Wakaka.
We practice in hotel, Shopping in Midvalley and even Watch Movie in GSC on 26 Feb. haha.
~~~ On the Real Competition Day (27 Feb 2014) ~~~
Early in the morning, we get to mingle with new friends! OMG, we actually become so closed after short interaction on the van from hotel to competition location (TM tower). Haha.
My team is the second last to present. Super Nervous and Tired! ;p
We even have supporters! Senior, coursemate and Juniors. Thanks for the support though. ^^
OMG, All teams are Super Strong!!! Their ideas are Good, Slides are Professional, Presentations are Fantastic as well.
Extremely Competitive. This makes us even MORE nervous!!!

Hmmm, It is Our Turn.
"As long as we can present smoothly, we can have the big chance." I told Andrew.
But, Hahaha, our presentation has flaws ;p Oops. I think our presentation is quite lively and energetic. At least we have achieved that.
Here are all the teams:
