PETRONAS Family Day Carnival 2009

PETRONAS Family Day Carnival, of more frequently known as Karnival Keluarga PETRONAS, has sadly comes to an end. This year, the Family Day is organized by Asean Bintulu Fertilizer Sdn. Bhd (ABF) with the support from Malaysia LNG Sdn. Bhd. (MLNG). It was held from 20th November 2009 to 22nd November 2009 at Kelab Kidurong Bintulu (KKB).

This is an annual event which will be organized by PETRONAS to show their care and concern not only to the employees, but also their spouses and family members. This is one of PETRONAS ways to show their appreciation and gratitude towards the efforts and sacrifices of its employees. This event obviously mean a lot to all PETRONAS staffs as they get to enjoy good food, good performances from famous artists and also winning lucrative prizes in a town like Bintulu.

Program Line Up

Let's start with the Food Stalls first. There were not as many stalls as i have expected. Most of the stalls are just repetition of one and another. We have KFC, Pizza Hut, Ayam Penyet, Drinks, Western Foods, Ikan Bakar, normal stalls we usually see during Pasar Malam and etc. From my observation, i think the stalls that made the most profit are KFC, Pizza Hut and the Drinks. Period. (notice the BOLD?)

As a PETRONAS staffs, they are giving out RM20 Coupons to each Staffs/ Spouse, RM15 Coupons to each kid. So, i presume some family has received more than RM100 of Coupons, and some people has RM200 of Coupons because .......... . They have also given out straw hats to all the staffs and family too. Some people do look a little like Monkey D'Luffy in One Piece (Anime). Grin :P. Anyway, as a committee, i received an extra RM15 Coupon, and a T-Shirt.

I am involved in Fun and Games Department. So, we have actually organized quite a lot of interesting activities. Namely, Fun Fair, Management Games, Colouring Contest, Inflatable, Console Games and many more. I believe some of you might have seen my Facebook status message stating that i was all worn out playing those consoles. So, here's a short preview of the Console Game Section.

There are 8 consoles to be given out, which consists of:

Sony Playstation 3 Special Edition (White) x 1
Dual Shock Controller (Extra) x 1
Game: Tekken 6 x 1
Burning Paradise x 1
Cash Voucher of RM200 x 1

Sony Playstation 3 Standard Edition x 1

Well, you might be thinking. How much does that all costs? And how are they given out? So, the price for all of those in a bundle is confidential. However, how are you going to win those prizes? We had organized a tourney for this. It is divided into 3 categories.

Category 1 : XBOX 360 (Winning Eleven 2009)
Total contestants of 48, having Death Match format.

Category 2 : Nintendo WII (Virtua Tennis)
Total contestants of 32, having Death Match format.

Category 3 : Sony Playstation 3 (Tekken 6)
Total contestants of 48, having League Match format.

My role was as the OPS leader. OPS - operations. So, i will be assigning all the committees their respected duty on the day itself. I have come out with a quite comprehensive schedule and job description for the committees to follow. So, part of my duty is to be a MC, score board handler, tournament coordinator and etc. Oh ya, another most important duty, GIVE OUT THE PRIZES TO THE WINNER. :( :( :(

Speaking of the duty assignment, i think i did it quite badly. Looking at the chart i drafted, and the committee members who turned out during the event, i would say i am quite disappointed. WHY? Because some of them did not even turn out, and what's more? They didn't even inform me earlier. I have requested for confirmation for the whole week, and what i got was just an absenteeism from the whole event. But, all thanks to Amier, Nazri, Gerry, Azran, Nurhadi and Syed for helping out as well although their duty starts in the afternoon. Not to forget the 5 trainees too. You are all AWESOME!Anyway, i am quite satisfied with those who turn out during the event. At least we have helped each other during the whole Console Game tournament.

Nintendo WII

I hate doing this....

Straw Hat on Howey

They call this "inflatable"

Can you solve this?

Oh ya, i forgot to mention. PETRONAS has invited the well-known, famous, popular, hot and rocking artist, Amy Search to the event as well. He has performed for 2 nights in KKPB!! You should have seen the crowd. It was tremendous!! Well, i am not so into these artists, so i got home around 9pm every night, just to have an early rest to prepare for the next day.

Among the other popular artists are Krystal, Aishah AF7, Claudia AF7, Sepah Raja Lawak 3 and a few more.

Enough talking. I try to show some pictures for that. :)
Have fun.

I had a great time there.

Here's how the stage looks like at night. Bringing cheers and colourful light into a normally-dull night.
