Breakfast @ KL Sentral Starbucks + Ideation Workshop

Bahija picked me up @ 7:00am and we carpooled over to KL Sentral for the Ideation Workshop organized by MDEC. It was a very interesting but tired workshop as we need to crack our head for new and fresh idea to get the RM150K grant from MDEC pre-seeding fund. This workshop actually triggered our thinking process to solidify our ideas... 


We arrived in KL Sentral as early as 7:20am. Walked over to Starbie and what we found out was the Starbie was not open yet.

We are not Open Yet... 

We were sitting in front of Starbie to wait for them to open for business... This was the 2nd time i was the 1st customer of Starbie .. muhahaha.... :p Bahija and I orderd two sets of the RM6.50++ set breakfast which is one Grande fresh brew Kenya coffee and Minced Chicken Omelette Sandwich... 


After the breakfast, we walked over to Plaza Sentral and headed to the MSC incubation center @ 3rd floor, where the workshop was being held. The meeting room was quite nice and when we arrived there... it was only 11 people... Guess how many attendees in total? The organizer expected to have 30 people ... It was 8:30am and only 1/3 of people turned up... Oh Malaysian... why you have the Malaysian rubber time... Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!... 

Anyway, Bahija and I chosen a nice seat as we were early... I hooked up with the internet and started surfing while waiting. The class started 1/2 hour later... :p The facilitator took about 2 hours plus near to three hours to go through the introduction and everyone's idea.... I presented my idea about creating some animation thingy... got a feedback that i should look into the domain that i'm familiar with... hehehe :p 

The class went more and more fun and excited as we would be able to know the technique on generating ideas from the workshop... The workshop ended with a take home assignment i.e. need to produce a solidify ideas (One pager) before April 2nd 2009... how? I have no solid idea now which is related to the ICT... Errrrrr..... Anyone could suggest some innovative idea using ICT to solve some day to day problem ... :p Do you have any challenging problem?

Hey, I gotta to go to the gym shortly ... need to clear up my mind after long day of workshop that drained all the juices from my brain... Ciao!

Medie007: The idea has to be crystal clear for submission to get the grant ... so we need to polish the idea until it's a workable one.... Interested to get the grant RM150K?
