Goodday KidSTART 2.0, Malaysia’s Biggest Kidpreneur Programme

Sebrinah Yeo July 11, 2024 0

I recently had the privilege of attending the grand finale of Malaysia’s largest Kidpreneur Programme, Goodday KidSTART 2.0, and I must say, it was an incredibly inspiring experience. Held on June 30th, 2024, the event was a beautiful testament to the creativity and potential of our young minds. The atmosphere was electric with excitement as children from across the nation gathered to showcase their innovative business ideas. The highlight of the day was watching 9-year-old Lee Yumi take the top honor with her ‘OnBoard: School Bus System’ idea, earning her RM20,000 to bring her vision to life. Her determination to solve real-life problems was truly commendable.

The competition was fierce, with over 4,000 submissions from 141 schools nationwide. SJK (C) Puay Chai was particularly impressive, winning the School With Highest Participants award thanks to their 478 entries and three students shortlisted in the Top 20. I was deeply moved by the presentations of 12-year-old Muhammad Basyeer Bin Mohamed Ackiel Mohamed, who won second place with ‘The Academy of Future: Peer to Peer Learning Coding & Robotics’, and 9-year-old Lim Zhi Fung, who secured third place with his ‘MindACT: ACTor Program’ idea. The room was filled with pride and joy as these young entrepreneurs received their well-deserved accolades.

Throughout the day, I had the pleasure of witnessing the immense talent and passion of our youth. Awards for Most Innovative Idea, Most Sustainable Idea, and Best Presenter were handed out to equally deserving participants. The Rising Star award went to 9-year-old Elsa Khaw Wen Qing, who left everyone in awe with her presentation. The event’s success was a testament to the collaborative efforts of Goodday Milk, the Ministry of Education, Alliance Bank, and all the partners involved. Their support and dedication to nurturing the next generation of kidpreneurs were evident in every aspect of the program.

Listening to the heartfelt words of Amy Gan, VP of Etika's Marketing, and Dr. Aaron Sum, Alliance Bank’s Group Chief Strategy, Marketing, & Business Development Officer, further reinforced the importance of such initiatives. Their commitment to fostering financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills among our children is paving the way for a brighter future. I felt a deep sense of gratitude and pride as I watched these young minds shine.

As I left the event, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful for the future. The creativity, intelligence, and determination displayed by these young entrepreneurs were truly inspiring. It reminded me of the importance of supporting and nurturing our children’s dreams and aspirations. Goodday Milk’s commitment to providing goodness beyond nutrition by enhancing the well-being of our community and promoting financial soundness for the next generation is something we should all applaud and support. Let’s continue to encourage and empower our young entrepreneurs, as they are the future of our nation.

Goodday with Wonda, Keluang Man and Astro Shaw at Kidzania

Another day to record for my memories. A day my kids enjoyed their time at Kidzania. Ever since the pandemic it has been awhile since they’ve been to Kidzania and so much has changed.

One of the activities they attempted near the entrance was the Goodday Charge where they had to workout to get healthy. This concept itself played a huge role for my kids as my kids are also on their losing weight journey as I don’t want them to be obese as they get older. Hence this activity trained them to work their hardest to ride the bicycle that helps charge up the blender to blend their healthy smoothie and be rewarded with the Goodday smoothie after the workout! It basiclaly replicates the act of an adult who goes to the gym to sweat it out and reward themselves with a healthy treat afterwards to refuel their energy.

Then they experienced the wall climbing activity where it was in cooperation with Wonda Coffee, Astro Shaw and the local Malaysian hero cartoon character Keluang Man! From this activity my kids get to experience the adventure of breaking through their fear of heights. Although they didn’t reach for the top but they did their best and didn’t give up. This itself taught them many life values in return. From not giving up too soon, doing their very best, facing their fears and finding their way to make it was in itself a victory!

As a parent I was so proud of them, as many will probably just give up without trying but they know that if you want something, you have to do your best and keep going even when it is uncomfortable. My eldest is afraid of heights but he made it halfway to the top, my second boy was also afraid but he did his best to find a way despite the obstacles infront of him, he didn’t give ip and kept trying even though he didn't make it halfway but I was able to witness him trying his best.

There were many other new activities on board like the FoodPanda grocery shopping and delivery, the Royal Canin Veterinary, the Famous Amos outlet and they brought cookies back, also the TV news reporter that I was equally proud of them because they were able to read the teleprompter on live TV. Although it was funny but they never complained or gave up.

At the end, they wanted to spend on toys but Kidzania is hood because it teaches them the value of it. Despite doing several jobs and making Kidzos they were still unable to get the toys they want. It indirectly teaches them the value of hard earned income from their effort and it is not an overnight success.

They had lots of fun and learned the value of hardwork effort and making money. But they had fun at the same time, I get to teach them the value of life to prepare them for the real world.

Sizzling Succulent Burgers You Will Adore!

I love western food my whole life~! I can never go without indulging in western cuisines, but being in Asia, we have more than just western cuisine, we even have fusion. We are definitely blessed with an abundance of food for choice!

But my favourite is BURGERS! I grew up having Burgers for lunch after school on alternate months. I sometimes have them homemade by my dad over the weekends and at night for supper, my parents will stuff me up with burgers just so that I will grow chubby so that when I hit puberty, I will shoot up like a sprout one day and grow tall (unfortunately, am gonna debunk this MYTH, it's not true...).

Since the era of Millennials, you will see many new technology and hip and happening cafes and burger joints popping around own like mushrooms sprouting. However, being a food lover myself and exploring various cafes and burger joints, checking what's the newest and latest in town; I always seek out new flavours and the BEST burgers in town!

Today, I definitely must share this heavenly deal with all of you, because it is the best Sizzling burger I have ever eaten and it is totally worth every bite!

NY Steak Shack introduces their all-new Sizzling Lamb Burgers that will only be available from 7th January until 3rd March 2019! You definitely must come over and try their new menu during this limited time offer only because if you don't, YOU CONFIRM WILL REGRET! (Mark my words...)

The way these sizzling burgers are served, is super unique; Unlike any other burgers served out there already stacked and ready to just sink your teeth in, NY Steak Shack serves their Sizzling Lamb on their sizzling hot plate as how they used to serve their steaks with.

This gives you 2 ways (or maybe even more than 2 ways) to savour your sizzling burger! The most decent way you can eat it, which you ladies will definitely enjoy (especially if you're eating this with your "special one" and want to still look gentle) is to cut it up separately and eat it separately like eating steak politely and professionally, no mess.

The other method which any burger lover will definitely enjoy most is to D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) and stack up your own burger and just sink your teeth in it!

Separately, it tastes perfect like sizzling lamb burger ala steak mode, but I noticed that when you do that, you get full really fast and you tend to eat slower because there's alot to cut up and chew. As a burger as it is meant to be, it tastes HEAVENLY~!

The scent of the mushroom is fragrant and appetising, the cheddar cheese totally matched the lamb patty; And each burger dish consists of two (2) lamb patties totaling 200gms in weight that is grilled to perfection and served sizzling on a bed of fresh onions. What makes it perfect is the black pepper/brown sauce that is poured over the lamb patty as the sizzling hot plate sizzle the sauces right into those succulent patty.

When I placed my mushroom and cheese lamb patty onto the Oregano buns and layer it with fresh lettuce and tomato, I almost wanted to add the french fries in my burger too, but it will be too huge for me to chow down on. So I just let the fries stayed as my sides while I savour the burger by itself and it was the best burger I have ever eaten in my life (I repeated this again because it is the best!). Trust me, as a burger lover, I have tasted many burger variety out there, the famous to the not-so-famous ones to the hidden rare find gems and this is definitely one of those rare find gems worth experiencing!

Imagine a burger that you sink your teeth into, with the patty still warm and juicy and its cheese that is at its perfect melted but not too melted condition, add that with the fragrant and chewiness of the mushroom and its sauce with the black pepper/brown sauce that is infused into the lamb patty thanks to the sizzling hot plate AND the fresh lettuce and tomatoes stays intact and fresh whilst the Oregano bun is still freshly baked, soft and not soaked or drenched with the sauce at all!

And if the burger tastes so perfect, the milkshake will definitely complete your meal in seconds! Complimenting with the Sizzling Lamb Burgers at NY Steak Shack, the Funtastic Milkshakes in partnership with Nestle Ice Cream and Goodday milk, you will definitely be taken on a ride of something out-of-the-ordinary this New Year with the Cornflakes Milkshake, Peanut Butter & Banana Milkshake and Strawberry Milkshake for only RM13.80 each. It tastes really rich and pure, perfectly blended well to satisfy your thirst.

If you're not a milk-lover then don't fret! Their mocktails are the bomb as well!

I love the zesty refreshing mocktails especially when paired with my burger it makes it feel like every bite into my burger is my first bite ever! It's that amazing!

Also, don't forget their all-new Sizzling Lamb Burgers that will only be available from 7th January until 3rd March 2019 only!
