It is a 5-star hotel and I was so amazed by how friendly they treated us, the shareholders, as if we were VIPs. At entering the hotel, there were people guiding us to our parking. Upon parking our car, they have those electric golf cars to fetch us to the lobby. At the lobby, the staffs greeted us and served us a glass of juice. In other AGM, we would have to register as shareholders/proxies before allowed to enjoy the breakfast. But here in Shell, we were asked to have our breakfast first before registering.

After our breakfast, we still had about an hour before the meeting starts, so we decided to walk around the hotel.

It wasn't that "grand' as what I thought a 5-star hotel should be, but it was luxury enough and cozy as well.
This is one awesome AGM I've ever attended because in other companies' AGM, after the AGM and that's the end of it. But for Shell, they invited us to visit their oil refinery somewhere in Port Dickson. Sadly our cameras and phones were 'confiscated' because no electrical devices shall be brought into the refinery, and so I have no photos to upload. I am really grateful my dad gave me this opportunity to attend this AGM. The best part being a shareholder of Shell is that while in the bus to and from the oil refinery, there were traffic polices escorting the buses to move through the traffic. I could even hear other shareholders saying "wow we are treated like Agung!"
Back at the hotel, I received a bad news. So bad that I previously had never expected this would happen to me. I failed two of my subjects this semester. Actually just after I sat the papers, I knew I was going to fail. I had prepared myself to accept the fact but I just couldn't believe who I am now. A student that used to get flying colours all these while getting two subjects fail at the same time now.
I just have no idea what is wrong with me nowadays. Nobody could explain that, even myself. I just love slacking in the classroom, thinking of other stuffs during lectures, procrastinate for assignments and so on. When it comes to studying, I just couldn't pay attention on the text I'm reading. Friends giving advise not to give up because there is no one that never fails in life. This is what I usually tell my other friends who couldn't do well in their studies too, and now it's the other way round.
Today I have got back into myself. I will take it positively and a lesson to myself. I do not care how people will look at my low CGPA, I just know I am not this kind of student, it was just a mistake I did and I'm sure I can raise it back before graduating. Good luck!!!
