Yesterday, all d PA's were taken for a tour to Royal Selangor Pewter visitor centre. What were we doing there? Well, we're suppose to explore and learn. Something like a learning field visit, in school you used to have 'lawatan sambil belajar'....and you can still have it in the working world.
Its organised by our PA committee and it only took half a day so it didn't really effect our work. We went with 2 mini-vans 
cos only 13 of us can make it for the tour.

and marvel at the splendid collection of pewterware. You also learnt about the science of pewter on its handcrafted n finishes product.

A visit to the centre, is an eye-opening experience as visitors are able to see first hand the lasting presence of pewter, first started by its founder. Walk through the guided factory tour where pewter products are being made, and try a hand at making a beautiful pewter craft at the School Of Hard Knocks.
Later we enrol ourselves in the 
School of Hard Knocks
. Very very interesting. You'll be given basic hand tools 
to create a simple pewter bowl.....hence the knocking. Step by step, an experienced pewtersmith guided us through the whole process. 
The dish that we make is ours to keep plus the apron which were provided and an exclusive certificate....cool eh!!!
. I had such great fun at the school of hard knocks and i find em fasinating!!
