Join Join Join! Ur views needed! (^_^)

 

Thanks Rie! Your words for the Business case really woke me up!!!! You are a gem!!! haha!

Now I REALLY KNOW what I am after! and what case I can use for BizBuzz!!! haha!

 

Chatted with Izzie and Joyce! I think the class will start next Monday! But! I think I will have to

skip the first lesson. And Also I need to shop for english books to start teaching Izzie! Language exchange!

Today I had a discussion with Rie on some issues that are close to my heart.
We also discussed on some clinic issues. Below are what we discussed. (Due
to the sensitivity of the issues, I will discuss them only in general.

1. People (Salary VS Expectations)
How to satisfy the unlimited wants of people? if we increase salary, it only serves
to satisfy them for a short period of time before it becomes a market rate and the
overall expected pay would increase, with no quantum leap of employee quality in
the long run… How do we strike the balance? That is the question…

 

2. Career Development
To increase overall quality of employees, one of the better ways is to paint a better
picture about the future. to let them know that there is a future, and every step they
take now helps to create their future in the company. In this way, they can see the
hard work as an investment.

Rather than seeing the company as a mere transition, a good career development for
the individuals really helps to change the mindsets of people, and hence the quality.

 

3. Morale
If points 1 and 2 are covered well, point 3 would be the resultant. Else, it would be another
force to be reckoned with… Although there are a number of ways to handle short term
morale boosting, these would be mere facades without a strong 1 and 2.

 

4. Basement
We also discussed on the possibilities on using the basement for some activities! haha! exciting!
to use that space for the staff! (^_^)

 

5. Medical Records
This is one problematic issues I think all healthcare organisation would face someday. I just hope
I can put what I learnt to good use! Forms and records would be a headache whether they are onine
or printed! haha!

Jocelyn’s Farewell!
Man!!! I will miss Jocelyn! haha! She and Bryan certainly added colour to my stint here! haha! We had
a farewell dinner at Shanghai Times Square, a korean restaurant. It’s a super fun dinner with friends
from all over the company!!! Especially Luwan and Admin! haha!

 

I sincerely wish her and her family all the best for their migration to Australia! Shall visit them in
Melbourne! Someday! haha! And I am looking forward to it! haha!

 

Haoledi!
This one is it!!! haha! Time to show off my dice skills! I realised I am able to shuffle the dices with the mouth
of the cup facing the floor without the dices falling off… Well, at least for most of the times! haha!

Also, we really enjoyed ourselves singing and drinking… I drank little… haha! Because I have improved from
my previous experience with the game of BLUFF! haha!

FINALLY!!! the presentation!! haha! Sooo excited! and I was awaken by Daxiang at like

4am with his call from the US… haha… about the competition! haha! man!

 

Officially woke up at 615am to prepare to go to Fudan with all my stuff! Web cam, video

cam, laptops, everything! haha! man! Lucky Gary is with me! haha! Well, I am glad

that our consulting professor is there for us! haha! that certainly helped alot in terms of

morale! Also have to thank Fang Yuan for coming! Thank you sooo much! Love u all! =)

 

After that was SHEN meeting… Well, I guess i am too tired or sleepy… good food but not

much appetite… it’s at Shangrila’s Gui Hua Lou… we had buffett there! 

 

All along, I thought I was a pretty ok team player… until now… maybe I need to redefine

what does team player means.. haha! feels like I am in themiddle of 2 teams, between

BizBuzz07 (Which I am so darn proud to be part of with the other colleges) and SHEN.

 

Doesn’t feels too good when someone who essentially did nothing just pass some law to

the organisers without even asking for their opinions nor checking the SOPs if other similar

organisations are doing the same… But well, I guess u cant be happy with everything.

ok! When we woke up early in the morning, its really nice to

see words of encouragement from leen and michelle! haa!

 

But we quickly made our way out of the house to Fudan for site testing!

Also, I quickly went to get a Logitech Webcam and Mic for 470 RMB!

don’t want to let the quality of the competition be a limiting factor

to our winning!

 

We had a long day… went back to home to continue our work at about

9pm… worked all the way till 2am!!! before I took a rest to prepare for the

competition tomorrow!!! Cant wait to win!!! haha!

 

I would like to especially mention this: I am soo so grateful for having

such a competent and understanding team! I really thank everyone of

them: Alice, Hu Ying, Yilun and Gary!!!! Not only had they taken up alot

of initiative in deciding the best ways to display the content of the slides,

I also appreciate their understanding and help with the logistics for the

event! (like helping me tp put up biz buzz posters!)

 

For example, they helped to search for some information while I was out

bargaining with food caterers for a good price on the food for tomorrow!

I am also glade that they trusted that I am not taking my own sweet time

to do all the logistics and technical setup for the event!

 

It is with their understanding and teamwork that allowed be both a participant

and an organiser of the competition for Shanghai side at the same time!

 

 

haha! Less than 48 hours and I am still in office!!! haha!

completed my work in office, and also a meeting with AVAYA.

Hmmm Cisco and AVAYA… (and some other vendors)… which is

better? haha! Also helped Boss and the COO prepare slides

for Boos’ presentation to the board on Monday in Singapore!

 

MEt up with my FANTASTIC team at Zhongshan park station!

we are prepared to camp over at my house to do up the competition

contents! wow! its pretty interesting! our discussions on where to head

what to do, how to do it!

 

Also! I got to realized that these fudan friends of mine are prepared

to not sleep! haha! but in the end we still took a rest at about 3-4am!
