As of 10th April 2016

Greetings blogger! 

Finally, I updated my blog's template and arranged each item properly. Big shout out to newbloggerthemes.com for creating and designing such an adorable templates. I wanted to add background music to my blog but the thing is, I failed to do so. I've tried few steps that I google-ed but nay, it didn't succeed. Where do I get the song's URL which end with .mp3? I stuck there. Therefore, I decided to just arrange it some other time. Perhaps if any of you, who read this post can help me to resolve this matter? Just drop it at the comments area down there. Thank you in advance :)

Yes, it's 10th of April already! MIC new semester just began last week and as usual time really does flies if student's were around. My schedule for this semester quite pack but never mind I preferred going to class with the students rather than stuck with the office's work. I hoped and prayed that I'll get along well with my new students just how it works with my previous and current students. 

Spent my weekend by doing a revision for my upcoming exam. I barely able to finish 1 chapter within this 2 days and I still have 9 more chapters to go. Just for 1 subject. The other subject? No comment. My goodness, so this is how it felt to study and work in the same time. Just after I know that I've been accepted to pursue my study in Master, I am so damn happy and I thought it's gonna be cool and I can't wait to start. But then, the reality bites me. It's matter of balancing every single aspect of my life. I know I will survive, but how? The question remain unanswered.

And I have a new commitment again. Thank you bapa! I'll treat that as my advance birthday gift. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I hope it will lead me to become a more responsible person. At least, I'll know where my money will go every month and financial management it is.

So, as a conclusion for today's post, I'll summarized on what I've learnt about "Managing and Performing" in the Organization and Business Management Subject;

1. Managing in the new competitive landscape (basically this sub-topic discuss how it works on managing in different, latest situation in business world)
  • Globalization

2. Managing for competitive advantage (this topic urged the manager to emphasize more their organization's specialty compared to their competitors)
  • Innovation

3. The functions of management (it discuss the basic functions of management and the managers need to mastered all of it)
  • Planning

4. Management level and skills
  • Top-level managers (strategic managers)

(Bateman & Snell, 2013)

New Commitment

Hello bloggers,

Last working day for this week, yayy! Few more hours then I'll fly back to KK again for my cousin's wedding. Uhh, can't wait..can't wait.. running away from this sick environment for a while. It's only the second week of 2016 and I feel demotivated already. 

Here's the thing, after postponing it for about a year, by the grace of God I became student again, another yayy! I've enrolled in MBA courses in OUM. Just registered last week at KK Learning Centre and I've attended the briefing for post-grad students as well. I've picked fully-online method to study because it'll cost me a lot if I have to go back and forth to KK every weekend to attend the lecture. Another reason it'll cost me a lot, I am paying all the fees by myself. I have to cut my budget on shopping and any unnecessary stuff. *menangis dulu*. Beside that, oleh kerana saya bekerja sambil belajar, I think that the fully online method is the best for me. So, how I'm gonna juggle my time? By having a proper and discipline time management. Have to endure it for 2 years. Oh God. T.T *demimu sekeping ilmu*. But somehow, I am happy  and simply grateful for this new commitment and can't wait to start cause I got all my textbooks already in this first semester. 

But that's not the reason I feel demotivated. It's a work related issues. Besides conducting lecture here in this college, I am grateful actually that they have entrusted me to get involved in implementing a new course in this college as a slide developer. The thing is, it is not easy. "This unit guide is crazy", as per my colleague. Since last week, I've been struggling to finish it and I have 6 topics over due. It's really really stressing me out till the point it affect my emotion and eating habits. I've to get ready for my lecture in class, then conduct the lecture, guide the students in their assignment andddddd get back into this slide developer thingy. Ohh, I need a refresh button. 

Hoping that this weekend getaway will refresh me. Enjoy your weekend :)

Verification.Ver_6

This semester, I've been assigned as a setter for the Project Management's Assignment 1. Creating an assignment for the students is not an easy task for me. Before we release it, the assessment have to undergo few stages where it will go to the Verifier, Head of Department, Second Head of Department and last but not least is the Moderator (normally the MOE). I'm in the second stages right now and I came out with SIX (6) versions already. Amendments, amendments and amendments. Let's pray for an approval. Hard work will pay off. I believe and have faith on it! 

Enjoy your weekend fellas~

IVF, MIC
