Some Updates

monologue:
we should do some template editing to the blog some day... when the posters and logo are out then we will decorate this blog a bit lar ok? :D

ok. :p)

so where should i start from?

Malam Updates
  • worked super hard for the grant proposal! thanks to Wan Yin, IngChia, Ka-Mun, Firdaus, Nat, Elyana for going through this with me! we learnt heaps, kan? :D

  • a lot of fine-tuning of the venue, menu etc etc. won't bore you here with the details. just be rest assured that the team is working very hard for Malam :) very very hard. but as the nagging goes: rmb ur priority is your STUDIES!!!

  • you should be seeing posters and chalking around uni once the semester starts - look out for our marketing stint! ;) oo, and our trailer too! :D exciting exciting!

  • please support our chocolate fundraising efforts!!! :D thank you thank you!
    Wan Yin and her team are working super hard for this as you can see! Man, Alip does make a good model! :D

  • till then, pray and hope together with us for financial assistance! you also want cheap ticket price and good food kan? :p
The Journey from the LB (dunno why they call me lady boss.. :p)
  • i wan to study!!! super super want to study! i have had enough of Malam for now. luckily this month is exam month, then i can concentrate on my research dy.. :p

  • on the subject of e-mails:
    i said: "please reply my e-mails lar friends"
    Ka-Mun said: "bullet-point, bullet-point :p"
    Bern: "rather have a lot of emails than LONG e-mails."

    oklar, i will keep the e-mails short and simple.

    but people, next time, when you are in a leadership position, you will know the MOST frustrating on earth is when you need feedback and NO ONE's replying you. ok, wait, i should give credit to those who replied, thanks peepz! :D

    i'm not exactly complaining - coz can also understand that everyone's mind is super saturated with uni work. i guess i have to change on my part too: write my e-mails in such a way that ppl will be able to understand quick, read quick... and reply promptly :) (btw, i'm pretty notorious for long e-mails.. ask my friends, they'd know :p)

  • Open and Honest Communication
    i think this is what my team is - super honest with themselves, super honest with me, super honest with everyone. and i'm super proud of them! :)
    people, i cherish all truthful communication :) it helps us to deal with issues in a more efficient way, and not to harbour any unhappiness against each other. so ya, keep up the good job! be loving and truthful ya! :D

  • Learning from each other
    i take this whole Malam thing as a new learning experience. It's stretching me a lot in many ways. Write proposal. Budget flow. Communicating. Listening. Making decisions. Muka tembok. The list goes on.

    in many things i dun have the experience, and i'm learning as i go. and i'm super thankful to have wise and experienced people to help out. i guess this is what you call.. equipping and empowering :p

    i promised that i will work on with the team with any changes after they've submitted their plans etc. feel bad for not consulting before i do the changes. Sorry ya. Will work on that part :) a good leader must let the team know that he/she trusts them too! :D
ok, enough of my rants. till then...

study hard and smart!

the exams are here!!!

on the subject of exams...
"Who invented this evil?"

i super understand the frustration of not getting any reply from ppl!!

in the end, after wait wait wait, have to call up ppl, one by one; which takes up heaps of time. grrr..

maybe we should have a 24h email reply policy, otherwise siapa-lewat-kena-bayar policy applies. hahaha! ;p
