MIS video production

 

Our MIS video that is done by Me,Yin Yee,Pam and I.

This is our first time making a video from scratch. I feel that is actually quite tough to produce a good video as there are many areas that we have to care about. And i, an IT ''dinasour'' need to learn everything from scratch too!

A wonderful experience with all my group mates!

What is Bizpod?

MIS Lecture- Undercover Boss

Mr Christopher Lim played a video about Undercover Boss, of the organization 7-Eleven.I rather find that video was interesting and i learned quite alot from it.

The video briefly describes the CEO of 7-eleven wanted to know more about the issues faced,the employees that is employed. The CEO went undercover as an employee and went to many different 7-eleven to observe and learned.

Lesson learned from the video:

1.Great employee makes an organization good.
2.Bosses who willing to listen make a difference in the company

After the video, Mr Christopher asked us to identify what makes an good employee and boss.

Some of the characteristic of an good employee are:
1.Passion for work
2. Willing to go and extra mile
3. Relationships between customers and bosses

Some of the values of a good boss are
1.Listen
2.Assertiveness
3.Able to see beyond the job,as in ability of an employee

I agree with Mr.Chris that a degree that we are taking now should change perception towards what we originally think and changes of thinking is for the better.

Presentation- Backofen

Classmates are all in formal clothing, something different from the usual days.
Everyone is strolling around the class trying to memorize their speech.

Interview with Backofen

 

Interview with Mr.Soloman is fun!  

We had interviewed Backofen for our  Business Communication Project.We are very nervous at first because we are afraid that Mr.Soloman will not be able to conect with us. But, we were wrong, everything went out fine and fun!

Mr.Soloman is a fun,attentive person person when we get to know him better. He is very cooperative answering questions and jokes during the interview. His jokes make us laugh the entire session and later on, we had dinner at Backofen.

Lesson learnt after interview:

1.Be prepared answering the employer's question

2. Relax and calm down during interview

3. Smile always!

Next post: The presentation of Backofen!

OB building activity

As a business student, we may think that we only have to only ''touch'' books where there are no chances to do hands on project. WE ARE WRONG! One of our subject,Organizational Behavior had offered us a well designed course where we have debates, presentations and also a building model project.

Our group which consists of 5 members had decided to build a fast food restaurant that named Sano Burger. ''Sano'' is a Italian word that stands for delicious. We chosen all recycled items to make the modal.

These are some pictures during the building activity.

We had alot of fun making the modal. Team work and good time management is needed because the given time line to build the modal is only 2 hours! We are very satisfied of the structure and the design of our building! 

Community Service- PAWS

PAWS (Paws Animal Welfare Society) is established a small group of local and expatriate volunteers.It is located  Subang Airport Road. PAWS act as a shelter for animals that had lost their home and now  still standing strong currently homes around 400 cats and dogs.

 My group of friends had decided to contribute in PAWS.

 One of the compound for the dogs! 

There are over 200 dogs inside the compound.We were quite scared at first because the dogs are very excited and barking all the way. The person in charged says that they are excited to have guest and they know we are going to bring them for a walk and bath them soon. So, the dogs are very happy!

Walking the dogs along the pathway.

2nd round of walking different types of dogs.

Later on, we then started to bath the dogs. The dogs are very hard to control as they are moving everywhere and we had to get whole of it to make it stand still. 

i washing dogs.

After 3 rounds of washing the dogs,Mr.Lim, the person in charged told us that we could walk around and play with the puppies.We ended our job and started surveying the compound of Paws.

A special compound build for puppies.

A video that we captured,enjoy!

We had great fun servicing the dogs and cats at PAWS. We are aware that there are lack of hands to take care of the animals, and thats why we chose to came here. Mr.Lim says that there are many regular volunteers that come twice a week to feed, wash and also contribute food to the animals. We also had bought some supplies for PAWS.

What a satisfying community service! 

Debate means war!

Team A: There is not much managers can do to reduce the negative effects of problems and biases in perception and attribution in organizations.

Team B: Managers can take active steps to reduce the negative effects of problems and biases in perception and attribution in organizations.

Team A,glory! Our group members consists of Desmond,Louis and Pam. Our group all agreed to this statement as there is not much a manager can do to help reduce the problems in perception and attribution in the organizations. We, sat down together and have list down the points and research to help us beat down the opponent. 

 Briefing from Ms.Choo before starting!

Louis giving his points! 

 Discussion time!

 Debating had go on for approximately 25 minutes. At last, it came to and end and we have been defeated by only 2 marks! Although we have lost the battle, we had fun! i have learned a  lot from this debate as any points that are listed out can be twisted from another angle and it become logic again! Overall, i love the way we brainstorm in such a short time to rebate the opponent's point. i have learned that there are many rules we need to obey during debating. For example: no discussion when opponent is talking and many more.

Finance test is over!

 Financial Calculator.

5 subjects every semester. This semester, i am particularly scared of finance! Finance always give me shivers in my spine as i do not like figures, calculations and i just cannot connect with finance!
As week 4 is coming by, i am alarmed that finance test is coming in days! My palms turns sweaty cold when i think about it.

Fortunately,my finance lecturer, Mr.George posted up all the tutorial answers and that helped me alot. Each time i face difficulties, i will have a look at the solutions and try to understand. And, it works!
Doing the questions again and again make me fully understand and being very comfortable.

                                                 In the midst of doing revision!


Lesson learned:

1. Start revision early.
2. Must do tutorial work that is assigned by lecturer
3. Must not take for granted of questions you don't understand
4. Never Give up!! 

Results are out after a few days! i would say my results can be improved and i will work harder next time. Somehow, the test make me love finance more now!!

SBS Transit Singapore is Hiring!

i worked for SBS transit Singapore as a receptionist during my holidays. SBS transit Singapore is one of the leading bus operator in the world and wanting to hire bus drivers.The recruitment drive is held in Swiss Garden Kuala Lunpur.

These are some pictures from the Subang Jaya recruitment event.

 The advertisement that was in the newspaper.

Posters of SBS Transit

Screen to lead candidates to the hall.

 Helping to put up the posters!

Helping candidates in filling up forms.

Job Scope of the day:

• Helping candidates to fill up forms
• Do a colour blind test on them
• Sending in candidates to the interview rooom
• Attend to all questions that are asked by the candidates

The recruitment drive is from 10.00am-6.00pm.Many candidates came from all over Malaysia just to have this opportunity to work in Singapore. I can see hope in their faces when going into interview as the job offer and the job security SBS Transit offered them. I personally think that being a bus driver is no easy job, as they need to wake up as early as 5am and work till 12.00pm. Working in shift mode ain't easy as they need to be alert always and be careful on the road.

i feel very touched when one  of the candidate that aged around 40  told me that ''Being a bus driver is not a happy job, but i enjoyed it a lot''. He says that with this job, i could spend my family with good food and afford my son into university. He is happy with his job currently and hoping to be a team of SBS Transit Singapore. This really made an impact on me as he is so optimistic with his job and finally! He has gotten his employment letter after thee interview!

Time strike one and competition ended. Catherine and I took the LRT and head to KLCC convention centre to meet up with the others.Something surprise me is stryker also do take the competition seriously, they also care about giving to the society. These bicycles are fixed by the stryker's members and is going to be given out to 150 children.

Children from_____ lining up and we brought them to the hall, to surprise them with the bicycles. Their smiles on their faces are so wide when the emcee announced that they are going to have their very own bicycle.

I had fun participating in this event. Although i need to work under the hot sun, but witnessing the ''spirit'' how they participate in the competition, i feel energized and inspired by them. Smiles from the children are still ink printed in my mind when they know they can have their very own bicycle. neither the less, i had fun making new friends and experiencing something new in my life.
