I JOINED for the 1st year

Date: 23 June 2010

Mood: Grateful

Today is 23 June! IT"S JUSCO MEMBER CARD DAY!

Well, this is the first year i join in the shopping crowd and headed to JUSCO IN AYER KEROH as early as 8am.

Before i even reach JUSCO, i saw indicators of cars congesting at the entrance...

I was on the thought of " DARN, no parking, where would be the " FURTHEST YET THE NEAREST" i can park.

Unexpectedly, the parking in JUSCO was not full yet. Instead, the parking lots located beside the building( near the entrance towards JUSCO FOODCOURTS) was empty!!

UNBELIEVABLE!!

IT WAS SUCH A SMOOTH MORNING !!

I parked very very NEAR compared to WHAT I WAS EXPECTING last night

.

I was even waiting with a bunch of people outside the entrance at the right wings of JUSCO( the food court entrance) as JUSCO OPEN ITS BUSINESS ON THE DOT at 8am.... i met a housewife with a cute little girl..." the little girl was really cute, she was awaken early in the morning just to shop as me~^^"

WHEN the door was opened, some of them were running into JUSCO.....

No.... I WAS WALKING SLOWLY towards where i was supposed to be

Well, you must be thinking " WHAT A CRAZY GAL!! SINCE WHEN ALLIE BECOME SO AUNTY ?"

Of course i have my reasons to be a SHOPAHOLIC FOR JUST ONE DAY ...maybe SOME TIMES...

I expected morning session of this SHOPPING SPREE should be less congested, so i chose to shop in the early morning. The main point is , the after-discount formals were very ECONOMICAL ~ and i really need to make a little purchase before i going internship.

You could not be wearing the few same shirts and pants for the five days per weeks and for every week, could you?

It offered as much as 70 percent discount~ of course i would SHOP like CRAZY girl especially when i FINALLY found the right cuttings and sizes that can fit me well.

NICKOLE!!

This brand is recommendable~ its smallest size is XS .. REAL XS ....

I found other brands like SEEDS sizes and cutting kind of big even with the smallest size of "4"

It really looks untidy to have slaggy slacks, doesn't it?

I was not that CRAZY as what you were thinking. I stayed for only half an hour after getting the attires i asked the sales girl to keep for yesterday.....

It was a FRUITFUL shopping day for me. I GOT WHAT I WANT AND WHAT I NEED just at THE RIGHT TIME ....

At the same time, i CREATED my very first record that is to SHOP AS EARLY AS 8AM and being the FIRST BUNCH TO ENTER JUSCO when it opened for business at 8am for the first time in year 2010.

i'm backed!

I am backed!

From Subang Grand Dossert today in the evening.

It was a tiring yet enjoyable journey. Though the "uNite" was a bit disappointing with unorganized program flow and unreasonable arrangement(late comers would have to walk around, socialising, indeed i found it was rather like a FASTER-GRAB-A-SEAT-OR -YOU'D-BE-ELIMINATED childhood game,it was unfair as those who came late also paid for the same ticket prices), i enjoyed my this journey.

The problem of this u-Nite was that there was nothing mesmorising. It was rather a photo-session or cam-whoring session for the whole crowd who wore grandly for the day.

The food was "normal" and below the expectation. I could see most of the people standing outside the ballroom cam-whoring and "sociallising" before the prom nite even ended. Worse still, we were so engrossed in cam-whoring and if you ask me what' s the attractive performance of the day?i would probably shrug my shoulder and say " i can't remember!"

From the picture, from left to right, being the Male Best Attire winner, the Female Best Attire winner; The Prom Queen, The Prom King, and the SWEETEST couple of the NIGHT~

Well, we managed to take photo with the PROM KING( his talent in violin is really impressive~)

-----------------------------

We did not have sumptuous or even a proper meals for the whole two days~ We were STARVING. Hence, before we head home for Malacca, we pampered ourselves with set meals in FULL HOUSE.

It has really got its competitve advantages and they are certainly distinctive one!!

#01: the comical menu which could increase the patience and loyalty of customers

#02 : Above average serving time and food design on plate

#03 : The attractive design with integration of comical elements

#04: warm and friendly employees with uniforms

we were seved well. moreover, i saw a pair of waiter and waitress joined in the customers and sang Birthday Song for the birthday boy( or girl, i don't know). It was warm. i had experience having dude waiter holding the whole box of birthday cake to the table.

#05: Shop while you Eat

It's not only a food heaven with variety of food. It is also an avenue for shop.

Despite all the competitive advantages, Full House's system of food ordering should be further improved. We found it rather confusing while adding additional order.

"it's tomorrow"

Date: 22 April 2010

Mood: Should i be excited for the day tomorrow?But i feel steady and cool~~

Well. "It's tomorrow"(quoted from Anne Chow)

Tomorrow would be Cyberjaya Prom Night to be held in Subang Grand Dossert.

Picture extracted from Grand Dossert Main Page

The day has finally arrived. with the anxiety of waiting its arrival and the hectic preparations ( from dinner dress to shoes to make up and other accessories preparation to be done within less than one month), it finally arrives and it's tomorrow!

I have just done my packing~ Finally manage to squeeze everything into one recycle bag. Here you go: one recycle bag, one comestic box and a hand bag!

Hope tomorrow would have an enjoyable night.~

Busy Weekend

Date: 17 April 2010

Mood: Heavy eyelids

Today is 17 April. i am left with six more days before the prom event. Well, i am 80 percent ready- i found my dinner dress which cost me RM110( despite that high price, i simply just like it.), i got my high heels which cost me RM54 and others necessaries to attend a prom in a "good" shape.

-------------

it has been a busy weekend. From Friday till Sunday( tomorrow), i need to wake up early in the morning for presentations and FBL special programs. Friday's Advanced Management Accounting was a smooth one. As for today FBL Special programs, it was rather frustrating not for me but for others.

It is a common sense that one would feel appreciated when he or she is remembered. Or should i be more specific, when names are remembered.

Despite that simply common sense, i have no idea why would i get two certificates and a look-like-quite-grand wooded "statues" with my names not printed on them today.

( well, i still thank FBL for granting me this award, THANK YOU! and of course, i appreciate it)

where is my name?

Surprisingly, the other top-15 ahievers did not obtain any acknowledgement certificates but rather a certificate of appreciation as participants. Again, these certificates were acknowledging no ones.

Why is it acknowleding no one?

I could understand everyone's frustration with the" blank" certificate of appreciation as PARTICIPANTS. the certificate is not the only causes that drive everyone's frustration. It is the half-day time being spent that makes them feel not worthwhile.( time is essentially precious when finals are in the corner).

---------------

Well, let's look at the positive side of this program.

Instead of seeining it as a program to improve academic performance, i would rather treat it as a channel for MMU to receive feedback from its undergraduates.

We were divided into groups to "share" our thought about MMU with the facilitors( my facilitator was Ms. Wendy Teoh who has been teaching in MMU for four years, married with one two-year-old son, an ex-MMU student who major in Degree in Enterpreneurship)

Well, what else could you expect from this one-hour sharing ?

Non other than the INSUFFICIENT CARPARK ISSUE and the INEFFECTIVE YET CUMBERSOME ONLINE COURSE REGISTRATION.

(There were also other favourable and unfavourable feedbacks about MMU)

The issue of insufficient carparks does not seen to be successfully solved by MMU management.

Even with the NEWLY-in-the-middle-of-the-FOREST carpark( i found it is kind of embarsassing to show oursiders or those who are interested to join MMU that that was actually MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY STUDENT CARPARK ). In my opinion, the carpark provided should be at least filled with tar road instead of the rocky roads?

Despite the far walking distance and the rocky road( could deplete tyres easily), the safety of the carpark is yet another concern( A board showing " park at your own risk " is displayed at the entrance of the carpark). Even CCTV is installed and security guards are there( sometimes) guarding the place, it is still an issue of concern whether that place is safe to park. or rather, i should say, that roards walking toward that desserted carpark is safe. CCTV as all of us know ( especially for those who has taken AIS ) is a detective control rather a more valuable preventive control.

Its effectiveness in ensuring our safety while walking towards the carpark is doubted!

As for the ONLINE COURSE REGISTRATION SYSTEM, i had a quite bad experience this semester and i believe most of the MMU juniors had worse experience. It should be improved!

Especially the manual course registration system! i am tired to commenting on this system.

---------------------

Tommorrow would be strategy's presentation. It's the last assignment for this trimester.

Wish all of us the best with the participation of OPRAH CHOW and JayZZ in our presentation tomorrow.

I am extremely exhausted!

Merry Go round and round

Date:5 April 2010

Mood: Tired

A recent Strategy class taught me a really important lesson.

Strategies comes with structures. As an organization is advancing further, expanding larger, serving more, we need wider capacity or probable a totally altered structure to support and sustain that expansion.

Despite that simple theory, MMU managment does not seem to be applying it.

The MMU students carpark is always fulled of late. I always see several cars turning round and round at the student carparks, searching desperately for carpark. And sad to say, i would be just one of them. It's really frustrating in that kind of situation when u are in hurry and yet you could not find even one parking lot. Worse still, i saw double parking at this HIGH DEMAND for carpark time. ( DOUBLE PARK IS SO WRONG!!!!!)

---------------------------

It was strategy tutorial this morning. AGAIN, i could not find any carpark in MMU student carpark. Leaving with no choice, I got myself out of there and drive to EP carpark. Surprisingly, there were ample "parking spaces" ( those so called parking spaces are illegal~)along two sides of road in front EP. I parked at the side. When i got down of my car, i saw a policeman carrying his duties-SAMANING every car possible. Turning around, i saw several cars infront of mine had already been SAMAN!!

Of course, i shifted my car~

I wondered.

How long could this sustain with ever increasing MMU undergraduates owning personal cars, and with only CONSTANT number of parking lots?

I have no idea what's purpose of the construction in front of EP, but i am hoping that it's reconstructed to provide more parking lots

I'm Backed!

Life is like an investment

Parents invest in their children

Men invest in the women they admire

Women invest in the men they love

The greater the love, the higher the risk, and the higher the return

Life is nothing but choices

It's to choose between left or right

Between Good or Evil

Between Love or hatred

What you choose make what you are today~
