Improvement

After so long I never blog, today I decided to spill out words from my heart. Lately I never have the time to blog due to continuous busy-ness from doing assignments to preparation of tutorials questions as a group and also part of my social life (yoga mostly).

As for today's topic, I have a few doubts in my head that I could not answer it myself. Maybe a third party's point of view will be handful? (An incident took place just now...)

Usually we will gather in groups for discussion for one of our courses, Corporate Governance. Since we had done our part completely and nothing to do, we utilised that time for other courses discussion to fully utilise our time. I'm a bit over concerned about one of our FULL-coursework course, Case Studies. Since we will be assess based on course work ONLY I pointed out my point of view and penalised other group's mistake so that we will be more cautious and score the max.

As the discussion goes by, I suggested to my team members that she got to improve her's part as I think there's a room for improvement. Out of no where, she became so defensive saying to me, "there is no right or wrong answer...all we need to do is to present it well in front of the lecturer."

Well, I got to agree on that statement but my point wasn't on the right or wrong answer. I was just suggesting to improve on that part as I personally feel that it is a bit messy and the explanation was not that clear and straight to the point. So, I did tried to say that but I wasn't given the chance as she kept repeating on saying that "there is no right or wrong answer...all we need to do is to present it well in front of the lecturer."

That repetitive really get on my nerves seriously! I was just being kind to highlight what other group has done wrong and so that we will never repeat that SILLY mistake (I feel that those mistake should not be made!)

After trying so hard to explain myself, she added on saying that "Our lecturer didn't listen to us them (point to the previous group) and he was asleep at that time." I did said that I want an interactive presentation. Based on what I saw on the previous group, they are just communication among themselves and the slides or notes. That is definitely not the presentation method should be adopted!

*Sigh* The discussion wasn't fruitful but at least we have some ideas on what to do, at least? I really dont understand that:

1) Is is wrong to tell some one to IMPROVE on own parts?

2) Why people turns defensive when people tells you to IMPROVE?

Now, I'm really wondering WHY? At times it's so bad to have more than ONE Opinion Leader in a group because both of them always want to be heard and give their opinion. I just got to tolerate at times but I'll still be firm on my stands!

However, this is the best group that I have ever met since way back my diploma's life until recently. They are proactive and we are working as a team which I value it a lot.

***p/s: This isn't a complain but need to express out myself...=)

BMS study trip

Date: 24 Oct 2009 (Saturday)

Time: 8.00 a.m. (meet in college)

Venue: Seremban

Yesterday was a very fun trip that I had with my classmates and most of our senior which we were attached with our Society, Business Management Society. The BMS's committee origanised a study trip to Seremban and we visited a few places.

First of all, we went to Yakult Factory to understand their factory and product? Anyway, I cant enjoy any of the Yakult until tomorrow because I'm on vegetarian for 3 days. The visit to yakult was kind of interesting because we were exposed and get to know they actually also do cosmetic line...VERY INTERESTING! The facilitator presented to us about the functions of Yakult and the Shirota with slide show and showed us video clip about how amazing yakult can be. Besides those presentation and video clip, they also brought us to see their display production line to enhance our understanding and most importantly, to know how they produce their product. After all those activities, we were give a "special" rate to buy their yakult drink which is cheaper by only RM 0.20......=.='''

After Yakult, we went to MAKAN MAKAN in a restaurant. Since there were a few of us were on vegetarian, we were provided vegetarian food at there and the rest with their luxurious lunch. The food that served by the restaurant was not that bad. One thing I found very weird about this restaurant was that they served "dim sum" in the afternoon...I mean normally people serve "dim sum" either morning/midnight. *Hmmm...* Anyway, we didn't take their "dim sum" but rice + 5 dishes.

As everyone get readied, we headed to bus and start our journey to Seremban's Ostrich Farm to see Ostrich, STEP the eggs of Ostrich and RIDE RIDE RIDE on the ostrich...

I would say, all of us were so tired after the ostrich farm because a lot of us fell into asleep in the bus when on the way to Old Royal Muzium Sri Menanti. When we reached the destiny, some of us were like so blur and thought of not going down for the visit but we struggled and dragged ourselves down from the bus. Although nothing much there, but we still enjoyed ourselves there by entertaining each other with our jokes and "live" actions.

Through out the journey, we were so crazy and so noisy. Besides, we cam whored the whole journey and did a lot of crazy stuffs there. All my pictures will be uploaded to facebook, but it seems like impossible because it keep on fail to upload. I'm a bit "pek chek" now because I was trying to upload since this evening but non of it is a success one! ish....I'll continue trying to upload!

MAICSA Convention - Way the to best you can be

MAICSA convention... From the very beginning, many of us thought this was an activity for the Advanced Diploma students until we receive a news saying it's not a complusory event. As for that, many of my classmates didn't want to go for it. Before I knew about this news, I was very determined to go because I feel this is something very related to what I'm in - which is studying Business Management cum ICSA.

Many of us didn't want to go in the first place, but I was asked by my friend, a senior of mine and also the committee in the Business Management Society. After being asked, I feel that maybe I should go. I asked many of my friends, finally 10 of us willing to go at first. Then, the day before the event, another 2 people said didnt want to go because they're tired and also wanted to prepare for Law test which will be on Wednesday.

To be frank, I did thought of not wanting to go because of "Test". Since I've said wanted to go and I made many people go for it, that's why I made myself to go too.

During the event, there were only 7 out of 10 from my class actually went for the event.

To comment on the event, I would say that I did enjoy it because I loose my voice after that. For me as a scout, believe that one would enjoy an activity if the looses their voice after the event. I quote this phrase from Paul and he quoted it from the late Mr.Yap Boon Lee (he was a very inspiring person for me, I would say).

There was 2 sessions of talk which were introducing to MAICSA (telling us what is MAICSA about which I had herd this talk for 3 times already) and also Coperate Experience Sharing (TAR alumni came to tell us what they feel and why they choose this path). Among these 2 talks, Corperate Experience Sharing was something new to me. However, since I've made my choice and I'm now in the MAICSA line already, that talk doesn't have any influence to me. What inspired me the most is from 1 particular speaker, TAR alumni, Ms.Voon, she had a very good english command ans she speaks well. Besides that, she won 2 book price for 2 final papers in ICSA examination.

Apart from talks, the activity was okay to me but the weather is abit too hot for many of us. At least during the activity, I could communicate and lead my group well. Although we didn't won the price, I would say that my group did well. Winning or not is not important to me because I'm there not to win anything but to exercise my networking skills.

I would say it's important to master networking skills because everyone needs it in the future. Some may disagree to it, but for me, this is important.

Overall, I would say this event was quite okay. At least we do have more chance to social with many people that we don't know and also expand the network.

Convocation Ceremony

How sould I put all my feeling into words??

Before the day of my convo, I really feel so excited, happy and all soughts of feelings that came to me, which all are good ones! For me, this is the very special moment that I made me think of that I really grow up!!

Why I would say that??

It's because when I attended my aunt's convo when I was a kid, I feel that wearing all the robe, gown, and with the mortarboard on top was something very glamour. Today, is my day to feel all the things that I wanted it so badly since I were small.

I really enjoyed myself during the evening, and I feel very proud of myself too...XD

I guess, I couldn't express myself anymore in words, so let the pictures do the talking for me!

What's wrong????

What's wrong with my college??? It made me so fed up and angry. Everyone knows that TAR college is a semi government college, and the facilities are at a very low quality.

No doubt you're offering cheap and afordable courses, but why?? Why most of the time when new semester just started, the tutorial rooms' aircond have to be not functioning??

THey never had the initiative to maintain the things....wait until got problem or spoil only wanna repair it!! what's the point???

Is it because of the Penang branch head are useless??? I'm sorry to offend him at here but I'm speaking out the truth and nothing but the truth!!

If there will be reporter would come to college to check on the quality of the facilities, I guess That stupid HEAD would change everything new for the reporter to take pictures and compliment about him!! this is what he is good for and at!!!

USELESS people !!! Better step down and let other people to serve the college better!!

Basically, my mood is just like what my title. I feel so blank and empty because of the connection. I've been angry for so many days until I'm numb of it. I couldn't feel any frustration and angryness anymore. Maybe I know that my dad's friend will be coming soon to fix this problem? I really don't know!

Apart from the stupid connection, I really don't like so many replacement of classes. No doubt I could rest and enjoy for a day, but then I got to suffer in the next few days. This make me so sick and tired. There are more to come which will be Deepavali, Hari Raya Haji, Awal Muharam, Christmas and New Year.

• Deepavali falls on Monday (27.11.2008)
  
• Hari Raya Haji falls on Monday (8.12.2008)
  
• Christmas falls on Thursday (25.12.2008)
  
• Awal Muharam falls on Monday again (29.12.2008)
  
• New Year falls on Thursday (1.1.2009)

OMG...so many days of public holiday!! This is to mean, I would have many, many replacements...so sad!!! I don't know why I don't seem to enjoy anything, especially public holiday! BUT, but.....I love and enjoy CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! *wakakakakaa....*

I DONT WANT MANY MANY REPLACEMENT!!!

Unleash the Genius Within

This is the title that talked by a well-known guy named, Tony Buzan. Many of us in TAR college and as the student of TAR college are lucky enough to have this opportunity to attend this talk and see him in real life. However, this talk isn't attended by only TARcian, but my college actually opened it to the public as well. *it is free* My college also invited some of the secondary school students to attend this talk as well. As for this, I manage to saw a few of my ex-school teacher. I miss them...!!
Back to the topic, so have you guys came across with mind map?? Have you herd of it? Do you know who is the creator?

For your information, Mr. Buzan was the first and the original creator for Mind map. He has a lot of achievement such as he is a author and had published about 95 books in the market and there are more coming up. Besides, he also knows a lot of languages and visited a lot of countries. On top of that, he is also an educator, sportsman (i.e. he likes to swim everyday, chess player, Akido - black belt, coach for Akido), he is also a lecturer, adviser for government and business, and etc. He is a great successor and we should learn from him. If you guys never seen him before, here is the opportunity to see him in the picture.



Today, he thought us to understand our brain and gave us our Brain operation manual. Brain manual???
YES!! Mr. Buzan believe that everything that has in the market has its operation manual, so as our brain. He said that we should have that manual so that we can use our brain to the maximum. =) This is a great 1...he is a very creative person, isn't him?? *Respect him*

Just a sharing with everyone..here are the things that I would like to share after I attended his talk.

BRAIN OPERATIONAL MANUAL No.1

1. In terms of brain use normal is usually not natural.
2. Invest in intelectual capital - make brain my hobby, 'healthy body, healthy brain'
3. Brain nutrition - oxygen, sensory stimulation, continuous new learning, correct formula (love, friendship), food diet (good food, good brain - junk food, junk brain)
4. Learn memory technique
5. copy the best and improve & innovate
6. explore and grow universe in your head

This is the manual for our brain..=D
wonder how our brain segmented?? - look at the following figure -


This is our brain and how it function accordingly

Basically, this is about all the talk...and I kind of enjoyed this talk because he made jokes and his talk is interesting. If I would to have the chance to attend his talk again, I would do so..=)

TAR Oddesey Night / Prom

My college Oddesy night / Prom was organised by Student Welfare Committee (SWC) on 28 July 2008 (Monday). The themes for the night was 'Back to the 60's'.
Overall, i can say that everything was going quite well. There are a few major weaknesses which are:

1. NOT PUNCTUAL
2. Messy towards souvenir presentation
3. NO Uniformity (the SWC people isn't wearing according to the themes)
   
4. Not so Organise because can see them running like mad people

The good sides of them:

1. Creative themes
2. Attractive candidates (talent candidates and Prom candidates)
3. Talented Candidates (talent candidates and Prom candidates)
4. Interesting Performance by the candidates (talent candidates and Prom candidates)
5. Nice make-up by Stella
6. Nice evening gown by France Taipei

Basically, there are pros and cons for an event. As for what we can see, the SWC have put in their effort to make this event success. As for that, I should credit them...Congrats to SWC members!!

Here are some videos and pictures that i captured during the night..hope you all can enjoy it!!

Candidates M1 & F1

Candidates M2 &F2 (Prom Queen)

Candidates M3 (Prom King) &F3

Candidates M4 &F4

Candidates M5 &F5

Talent candidate No.2 - singing (great singer)


Talent Candidate No.3 - dance (charlie chapline)


Talent Candidate No.5 - this girl dance like Michael Jackson!!

---> I'm late for so many days to post this entry because of I'm busy and the Suckie connection!!

p/s: Sorry for the bad quality picture as I dont have a nice seating during this event =) and i hope all of you can enjoy it!!!

water-FALL

Have you guys seen any water-FALL before?? not the ordinary waterfall...but it is WATER - FALL... come and make a guess where is the waterfall?
forest? Jungle? lake? mountain?
curious?? continue to read then~


i saw this "beautiful" WATER-FALL after my Business Comm Tutorial. Due to the nature's call, i need to go to toilet to pass urine. As for that, before i step into the toilet, i herd the sound of water dripping and some ripples sound.
i do not care much, so i enter the toilet AND i saw this..........................................



i was shocked!! and the disappointment feeling was built in me...i was so disappointed with the management team. this is because they never want to maintain our college!!
They only will fix a problem until the things are spoiled...
for example, during the beginning of this sem, School of Business Studies (SBS) block and School of Technologies (SOT) block air conditioner's compressors were down and we have to attend sit in a "hot conditioner" tutorial rooms!! by the way, my college only have to blocks which is SBS and SOT..
it's such a disgrace that they never maintain it!! Every year they will collect a "college development" fee each of us. it was charged in our college fees.
For what I can see, they never develop it, never maintain college's properties and seldom update books in the library...sooner or later, the college sure collapse if the management team never do something!! If we would to complain, i'm not sure whether they will do something or not because as for what i know, My college's admin team people are fulled with lazy-asses!! really HOPE THEY WILL CHANGE!!

A part from this, this morning when i woke up and i looked out the windows, i saw a very blur vision. I thought i was wrong, but it seems hazy!



I'm not sure what caused it. There are 2 possibilities which is:

1. Mist caused by the cold weather after rainy day
2. Haze don't know from where..

I thought it is a haze because the tar road and floor is not wet. I think later on, the hazy sky turns clear towards afternoon. When I see this hazy hazy thingy, i felt so uneasy because i really do not like pollution!! I HATE to see people instead of throwing rubbish, especially leaves drop form the tree, they burn it. I dont know why they like open burning so much??
Don't they know that this contributes a lot to greenhouse effect and air pollution??
I really want to curse those idiots for open burning~

My god~ i shouldn't be cursing people!! Let me have a bad karma~
Never mind, i believe that God knows how to deal with this kind of barbarian!! until now, i'm still hopping for action to be taken towards them..
Let's stop contributing towards pollution!!!

Caught red handed!!

Who got caught red handed?? of cause not me!! Just look at the video clip~



this was taken by my friend's cell phone(N95) and the video quality is very good ^^
that lecturer of mine has a doctorate...she's a PhD holder - the only PhD in my college...sounds sad yea??
she is a very funny, cute and kind lecturer..her name is DR.Kang Seok Hoon..
I love her lessson so much...because she can joke a lot!

By the way, did you saw my friend 'curi makan' in class..haha!!
I know it's not wrong to eat during class, but then just like to disturb people..wakaka!!!
actually, until now that friend of mine didn't know that we took this video.

Apart from this, now i'm anticipate for Business Game..i've submitted my group's name to my lecturer..i really cant wait for it to happen~
what attract me the most is the certificate, award, and experience that we going to gain.
at this moment, roughly about 21 groups have submitted names to our lecturer which means about 210 of people have submitted their names because a group can consist up to 10 people!
imagine and see..we have to fight hard to enter to final 10 groups! i really hope, wish and dream to be in the top 10...because really want to get the certificate! wakaka...
besides that, the main trophy is kind of attractive. the trophy is made by Royal Selangor pewter..i'm drooling to hold that trophy in my hand!!~

trophy for Business Game's winner

this year, the game will be slightly different from last year. this year game will be on Investment, unlike last year which is more on entrepreneurship. this thursday will be our first briefing, and i'm so keen to know more about the game!! FUN FUN FUN...i really want to have the fun...

My saviour~

Last night, i was so so busy doing correction for my Eng assignment!!
i'm kinda sick of doing assignment already because most of the time i did it alone although i had a group members..
no offence, i hardly can rely so much on them because after what they did, when it came to me, i have to do corrections!!
to do an assignment is much more easier than to correct people's mistake~
haihx!! i really wish not to do any assignments anymore!! i want a REST!!!

Last night i went to my god mom's house with mom and sisters because today she is going to Singapore already..
i love my god mom!! hehe~ she goes there to take care of her nephew for he daughter, my god sis!
as a responsible person and not a time waster, i decided to take my stuffs to do over there..
everything goes fine over there. Anyway, we went there not long, perhaps about 2hours only.
i'm homed by 10something and i start to continue with the assignment~ from there on..i keep doing it until like 3something if i'm not wrong? that was the last thing i remembered when i saw the time display on my laptop.
i did it until i cant stand anymore, so i fell asleep without my own conscious! what i know is, i on the light, and my laptop running throughout the night~
Due to the pressure, i automatically woke up at 8.00am! and from there, i continue doing the correction! i finished the correction by 9something and wanted to start the new chapter for my assignment. Unfortunately, i found out that i lost my guideline!!
as for that, i couldn't start anything..so today i dont passup for checking~ (sad case)
i got to rush it by today so i can hand in by tomorrow for checking, hopefully i can do it!

after everything done, now...the tired-ness hunt me!! i felt sleepy and i cant concentrate if i don't take any caffeine~
As for that, i decide to find my best friend - COFFEE!!
In this sem, whenever i burn midnight oil for assignments, i'll find coffee in the next morning~
Actually, during all my previous sem, i never stayed awake to do assignment but this sem i did it..and this is 2nd time or 3rd? i cant really recall~

So, do you guys curious who my best friend is??



YUP!! it's coffee bean!! yayy~~ I'M IN LOVED WITH CAPPUCINO!!!! <3>so, each time burn midnight oil, i have to find Coffee Bean to buy my RM10 coffee to keep me awake for the rest of the day!! (i love cappucino espresso with double shot and a packet of raw sugar) *yummy..yummy!!!*
i dont know, it really works for me though~
so, today i can stay awake and without feeling sleepy during my classes is because of my favourite cappucino~

Lots of kisses for coffee bean~

PR fair (2nd day)

yesterday was a raining day..
i woke up at 8something the day was still clear and bright.
when near 9.30am, my place starts to rain..it's a heavy rain!

once i reached college, i go for my lecture..the lecture was fine, but a bit boring~
anyway, i have a great lecturer because she prepare lots of things for us..
*THANK YOU Ms. LALITHA*

so, after her lecture, i head to college canteen. while on the way to canteen,
my college's foyer was full with crowd due to the PR fair..and it's not so successful like the other day!!
in today's fair, they sold food (sausage, sushi and etc), ice-cream (thai coconut ice-cream - can get similar one in sleeping buddha temple), some people singing in the foyer, FREE HUGS, singing competition in canteen, fashion show by PR student in canteen as well.
basically, these are all the events that held yesterday..
for my opinion, the fashion show that held in the canteen is like so...so...yucks!!
i dont mean to say all the people, but some of them are too EXAGGERATE!!!
i really dont know what's their purpose..trying to get some attention from people..
what a attention seeker!

i'm not sure what is this ugly chicken/bird doing in the foyer..

look at those attention seeker!!
Ai ai...you looked decent and you're cool!!

Crowd in the foyer...so jammed that barely can move

anyway, this fair is kinda kewl because it's being sometime already that my college not that busy.. hope to see more this kind of crowd..=P

college life~

there's nothing much today..
as usual, i reached college at 9am.
Actually i will be driving to college today, but when i walked to my car
and when i wanted to start my car, *kekkk..kekk..kekk* sound came from my car..
MY CAR BATTERY has reached its life...then i have to walked back to my house to get my motorbike key! *ARGH...*

after getting my bike KEY..i walked to my bike and start my journey again!!
I reached my lecture venue at sharp 9am!!
today's lecture was my favourite lecturer and subject..
It's PERSONNEL ADMIN subject, and the lecturer is Ms.Loh Lay Lee..
she is a great lecturer because her notes are short and simple, and they way she lecture is very easy to understand..
i really like this chapter that she is touching now which will be Employment Act.
I kinda like law subject!! it is very interesting one..
the lecture finishes early (10.30am)
while waiting my cousin sister class to finish, i went to our college PR fair..the have a very interesting stuffs on..i'm kind of impressed with their work..


some make-up or make-up competition (i'm not so sure..didnt kaypo much)


nice dress..



nice T-shirt, but a bit expensive!

After i have a look at the fair, finally my cousin class ends already.
We had much discussion on where to eat for our lunch..non of us made any decision but we start our journey aimlessly~
a long the journey, we kept asking each other where to go..but still there isn't any answer.
so, my cousin's(Kar Yen) friend suggested us to go to Gurney Plaza..Therefore, we headed to Gurney Plaza
then we walk around outside of the gurney plaza to see what to eat over there, unfortunately
a lot of shops temporary shut down due to the construction and they are going to move to the new wing in the future.
As for that, we didn't have much option to choose. From there, Kar Yen suggested us to go to Chilis for lunch.
So, we took our lunch there.. basically, we didnt order much food because they serve in a big portion. as for that, we share the things we ordered..it is very FILLING... XD
after lunch, we head back to college as i have another lecture at 1pm..!
it's a damm boring subject. I guess there's nothing wrong with the subject but the lecturer!
Guess what???

i guess only about 20+ sudents attended the lecture out of 80++ students!!!
lets imagine how good she is???


there...look at here, and see how empty the lecture hall was

This really make me feel so sleepy..because all the things she said is in the book...just that she illustrate to us some example only!!
really BORING.........so during the lecture..i snap a few pictures..but mostly is HER!! haha ~.~


hmmz...out of focus! sad case =.=

more of her's pict!


too bored of seeing her, therefore i tried to take some perspective picture

Luckily, today's chapter was rather short, so the lecture finished in 1hour time only! when she dismiss us, i'm so happy!! haha...
really wish not to have this kind of lectuere in my life...make me become lazy~
