Exams are officially over for me and last paper was a killer. I didn't know it would be so difficult and it weighs a total of 50% for the whole module. Whatever, it's done and no use crying over spilled milk. Now, enjoy holidays! Well, I'm having my ITP soon, on this coming Monday.

Imagine, I have to take train to Redhill and take bus to Alexandra Road and walk to Jalan don't know what Timor place then I will arrive at my workplace. Office wear, no dress down. I am dead. I guess I gotta buy a few more sets of office clothing and one really comfortable working shoes. If not, by 7 weeks.. My feet will be unrecognisable.

I'm heading back to Malaysia tomorrow till Friday and this few days, I AM GOING TO ENJOY MYSELF TO THE FULLEST before I getting on for my attachment which I only earn S$2.20/hour. It's better than Shini's work. One day work can't even buy a plate of chicken rice. HAHA.

Zhuxin is coming along with us tomorrow and I am really shocked that her dad actually allowed her to go to Malaysia with us. She is grinning ear to ear man. First time visit to my house, I guess it's gonna be fun. No restrictions!

YEA, that's all I wanna blog about. :)

GOODNIGHT!

How much did I really studied today. It was indeed a very slow progress for me. :(

Chapter 5: Motivation
Why motivation is important:
Improves profit margin
Improves productivity and performance
Promotes culture, trust and loyalty
Reduces staff turnover
Attracts quality talents

Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs:

1. 5 Basic Needs
2. Once a need is very important for that person, he will get motivated and have the drive to fulfil it
3. If a person's need is already met, he will move on to fulfil a higher level of needs and the satisfied needs will not take priority again
4. Frustration will arise if management fails to fulfil staff's needs

1. *****Physiological Needs (Water, food, sleep, breathing)
2. ****Safety Needs (Security of health/property/body)
3. ***Love/Belonging Needs (Family, friendship, sex intimacy)
4. **Esteem Needs (Confident, achievement, self esteem)
5. *Self - Actualization Needs (Morality, creative, lack of prejudice)

Herzberg's Two Factors Theory Of Motivation:

• Hygiene Factors -> Motivators

Satisfaction:

1. Primarily result of motivator factors
2. Helps to increase satisfacton
3. Has a little effect on dissatisfaction

Dissatisfaction:

1. Primarily result of hygiene factors
2. Absent/inadequate of factors cause dissatisfaction
3. Its presence has little effect on long term satisfaction

Incentives to motivate events workforce:
Financial:

1. To increase productivity
2. To increase earnings without increasing unit cost of production
3. To encourages better method of working

(Wages, bonuses, hourly plus overtime rate, tips, CPF, contract work)

Non-Financial:

1. Fairly Intangible

(Working environment, job promotion, flexible working hours, training schemes, safety)

Semi-Financial

1. For salaried staff

(Study loan, medical benefits, childcare subsidies, insurance)

I guess, if I continue to type out everything I remember.. It will be a friggin' wordy post. Alright, I woke up pretty late today and only started revising at 8pm with Shini accompanying me at Woodlands Point McDonald's. I didn't know that on every Sundays, the McDonald's there closes at 10pm. We left there at about 9.45pm and walked to the bus-stop and walked back to Woodlands Point 'cos Shini that urinator wanna urine.

A chinese proverb that says,'懒人屎尿多' really suits her well. :)

Bus-stop was packed with throng of people and we decided to walk back home since buses were all caught in the jam that resulted in not many buses arriving at the bus-stop. As normal, we could laugh all the way from Woodlands Point back to Marsiling MRT station. -.-

That shows how was my day and I didn't memorise Chapter 6 and 7 which I think that they are redundant. Chapter 7 is more to common sense about COMMUNICATION while chapter 6 seems so.. useless? I don't know but it is like.. grr.. W.H.A.T.E.V.E.R. I guess I will just read through it once more tomorrow for chapter 6 and start to really memorise the important ones.

Tuesday.. END OF EXAM and start of attachment real soon. :(

Good Night,
Lovelies. <3

I woke up pretty late which was around 2.20pm yesterday. I had to take out the cockroach before I could bathe at the bathtub. -_- I left it on the floor of the bathroom because, it is just simply disgusting to ever get a close interaction with it again. I am more daring than Zhuxin and BF though. I would not jump upon coming across with a cockroach and I even used them to scare my 2 lovelies. LOSERS. LOL.

I headed out and met up with Shini at Woodlands Point Mcdonald's for my PM revision. I studied only 4 chapters which I wanted to. I'm gonna revise the next 4 chapters later on and Monday would be the day I'm gonna recap on everything. I'm not putting much effort in it though, but I could remember some points though..

Project Managers should have/be/able..

1. Jack of all trades
2. "Helicopter view" of the project
3. Progressively Disciplined
4. To work under stress and tight deadlines
5. To solve problems efficiently

Different types of Management:

1. Autocratic
2. Paternalistic
3. Democratic
4. Laissze - Faire

"Management" - School Of Thoughts:

1. Classical - Based on scientific studies
2. Behavioural - Based on studies on social and human aspects
3. Contemporary - Based on studies on organisation different parts/departments/subsystems

Okay, I haven't really memorise all. Whatever. I will recap everything on Monday. Hardcore last revision. (I hope so..)

I'm officially broke now, leaving only 69 bucks in my bank account. Goodness. :(

So, I went out with BF to WY's house and had steamboat with them and DDZX. It such a cool stuff to gather around with each other out of sudden. I only received the notice in the late afternoon but anyway, it was a great one.

Movie was next and we watched Benjamin Buttons. The movie was incredibly long and my neck and back were all stiffed after sitting for so long. It is quite.. draggy and somewhere, somehow I lost my interest in some parts of the movie. The only best part of the movie was the man who was being struck by lightning 7 times. How cool and all the 7 parts were god damn hilarious.

No doubts, Brad Pitt is handsome. :) BF, stop self-claiming that you are him.. Not even in your dreams, okay? HA.


Side track:
I am still yet to touch on my PM module. Tell me how dead am I gonna be?

Update when I'm back!
New skin is still yet to be fully constructed.

Everything will be done when I'm back from steamboat and movie with my lovelies. :)

Indeed.

Say no more.
I'm gonna rest before I am exploded to many many pieces.



Maybe, a trek with you guys could make wonders..

Mrs Alvena Sam treated us to Pizzahut yesterday for dinner. We had to use up the class fund by then. 120 drumlets + chicken wings. Vernice was the winner. We played 'Open Number' and I guess drumlets and chicken wings love her to da max which ended up her from eating quite a number of it.

I caught a movie last night with BF. It was the M18.. 'Underworld. Rise of the Lycans'. I was afraid I couldn't get in because.. I'm not 18 YET until my birthday this year. Nonetheless, I were able to get in and enjoyed the movie.

Back home, had my bath and slept shortly after which is around 2am.

As for today,
I intended to go for kayaking which I had told a couple of them. Mainly to de-stress and realising there are no mood for v.day and 7th month because econs paper is on tues which I have only covered 3 topics? Oh well, I couldn't wake up and that concluded that.. I didn't meet up with them. So sorry. OH, I didn't have the chance to get tanned as well. :(

Thanks bro, for you nice invitation to kam sar har mi dar tonight. I WAS NEARLY KENA TRICKED in going back to Malaysia today! I called my mom to confirm about this kam sar har mi dar dinner tonight and she said.. They are not going to have it tonight. I was glad that I called my mom for confirmation if not, I would have probably ended up like my big bro who actually believed that we were going Penang for vacation as said by my 2nd bro.

Nice one!

Now, sound pressure level has just gained another level. THERE ARE CONTRCUTION WORKS GOING ON OUTSIDE. How am I suppose to.. REVISE?!

HAIYA,
I guess I'm done with blogging and hope everyone enjoys their v.day well, even for the singles! As in, singles can still have fun with their friends outside! <3

HEllo.
I'm here to blog.

We had a small celebration for Shini's 18th birthday just so yesterday. Everything was planned in a nick of time. She likes it, we know it. More detailed, please visit 'zhuxin' on my links at miscellaneous.

Tomorrow is AVS test. IT's my last TEST. WOOHOO!
...
...
...
...

Exam paper on Tueday. -.-

This is what I wanna blog and I had fun playing with the animated display picture with czxczxczx.

Time to have my 2nd meal of today.
BYE.

I LOVE CHAY ZHUXIN!!!!

I forgot what I did for this whole week already 'cos it seems like it passed pretty fast. School was as usual. Lecturers were all trying to help us as much as they could and going through anything that we have doubts on.

Presentations were finally done and over with, especially EMC which made us look like some sort of OL and Salesman. HA. A big burden off the shoulder once EMC presentation was done. AVS presentation was.. Relaxing as compared to EMC. The difference between both was HUMONGOUS.

Friday, school was a full day for me. 8am - 5pm. Econs tutorial lesson ended early, I was off at 4pm and headed to the office opposite Moberly to collect my Logbook for ITP with BF, WY and DDZX. I reached home with the bloody itchiness on my legs. BOTH LEGS. Seriously, damn freaking itchy, I SWEAR. I couldn't stop scratching but knowing that if I was to continue to scratch, marks will be left on my legs. I DON'T WANT A PAIR OF UGLY LEGS! Eventually, I stopped scratching. HA.

I went over to BF's house and waited for WY and DDZX for dinner together. I spammed hell lots of antiseptic dusting powder on both legs. I had super white (chao ji bai) legs for the night. Finally, WY and DDZX came and we went to CHOMP CHOMP for dinner. We had a hard time finding parking lots and it almost took us an hour just to find one.

Dinner was so-so and WY had to eat that chilli because DDZX lost to me on scissors paper stone, just like how atikah lost to me and ended up presenting first for EMC. HEHE. I saved BF from eating that super spicy chilli. Even I, myself also think that was spicy for my taste bud. That's needless to say for the 3 of them.

Next, we went over to Geylang and had a 'chicken' exhibition. People there are calling 'JI'. As in, they were only saying, 'JI. JI. JI.' As said by WY and nothing else. I felt that BAPOK was prettier though. HAHA.

After that, we went to MUSTAFA and no doubts, things sold there are really cheap. 2GB thumbdrive for $11?! How cheap is that. WY bought a webcam for himself and a thumbdrive for DDZX. Initially, I could get my Nike digital watch there but all the gold nike watches are being sold out. :( It's either I get the gold one, or I will not buy it. SO NO MORE WATCH for me. :(

Lastly, we went over to Marina South Pier and wanted to take a look from the jetty there but it seemed to be closed. BF and WY did some stupid jump poses before we headed by home, finally..


OKIE, TESTS AND EXAMS ARE REALLY COMING AND COMING AND IT'S AT THE CORNER ALREADY. WALAO. I AM SO BLOODY DEAD WITH ONLY CHAPTER 1 AND 1/3 OF CHAPTER 2 FOR AVS REVISED. BY NOW, I GUESS I HAVE FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING AGAIN AND I THINK I HAVE TO RE-REVISE AGAIN. THIS IS SO NOT GOOD AND I AM GOING TO MELACCA TOMORROW. DO YOU THINK I CAN MANAGE EVERYTHING BY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW? ECONS AND PM ARE TESTED ON THE WHOLE LECTURE NOTES FROM TOPIC 1 TO DON'T KNOW WHAT NUMBER. I AM SO DEAD.

Sidenote:
I am sorry to Alvin Yee for not attending his party tonight. I am afraid I won't be able to mug finish in time and I don't wanna be a monkey there scratching on my legs real hard. Rashes are seen and it sucks. SOB. Oh, I finally got a mouse for my laptop and wanted to gave one to BITCHY Koh but it looks like my brother took the another one away and it is in pink. Therefore, I doubt you will want it too.

GOODBYE ALL!
