Today was the meeting to confirm confirm confirm the report. The confirm the arrangements for the report, decided that nothing should be put out of the report as we thought that everything was relevant and necessary. As such, according to what Mr Haris said, we placed all in appendix. For the final, we all brainstormed together on the final final final flow of the report, and if anyone has any addition or views on the current flow, or if anything could be improved further. So we decided to include Acknowledgement and References in the report.

With only that and the pictures to be included, im sure we are able to do it. (= After which, report is completee! Hopefully Mr Haris get to see it before final submission.

Okay Thank You and Thats All. K dah bye forever.

Meeting 18: Wednesday 10thDecember 2008
Time: 5-630pm
Venue: Library


Today we had meeting again in the Library, and finally i was able to submit my part; Limitations and Difficulties *if you guys have forgotten*. Jas had submitted our report for Mr Haris to vet and being hopeful that there wasnt much to editted once more since we did spent alot of time on it already, making sure nothing is being leftout.

So his reply came in, no doubt that there were comments and remarks everywhere around the report, pointing out the various mistakes and "it is necessary?" haha. okay we felt dumb. urgh. nevertheless, keeping his comments in mind, we planned how we could go about adjusting the report to his satisfaction. So after much discussion, we agreed to just follow what he said, to rearrange the points, pushing tables and case studies to appendix etc.

And with that, we continued discussion the last point of our report, which is Recommendations and Conclusion to nicely close our report and not leave it hanging. Following are the Recommendations the team came up with; 1) have more events 2) more collaborations and partnerships 3) improve on their marketing strategies. With these recommendations, we hope it will help the centre achieve its objectives; which is to increase awareness, visitor-ship and sales.

And for Conclusion, the team came up with a good flow to end the report. In the conclusion, firstly we have to take a stand to answer the problem statement, if the event was effective or not. And next we should provide reasons to support our stand. Then, we could state ways in which we could improve for the project. Sounds good? Yeah.

And again, with not much time left, we allocated the tasks;
Jas: Recommendations
Myself & Ju: Conclusion
Ash: Making necessary changes according to Mr Haris's request
Sherwin: Visuals to be included in the report

Looks like its a fair play for everyone. K dah bye.

Todays meeting was again on our report, to edit and refine wherever possible. All the components of the report was there, except mine. This is due to my comp; crashed over the weekend and that all data in it is gone. So I explained it to my team and told them that i will redo my part and to send them asap. haiz.

Ash volunteered to proofread our report, and we trust his english. haha! by now, the report shud be completed, if not at least almost, and i think we are on the right track. We still need to submit it to Mr Haris to see if the report if okay to go for the final submission.

Thats it, k bye.

Time: 4.45-5.45pm
Venue: Library


I wasnt able to come for the meeting again due to some other commitments i had in school. Dance production is nearing, and i have to set my priorities right. Not say i dun prioritize fyp, but since we have our part already in completing the report, and that any additional task could be updated via technologies, it was more worth it for me to be at my rehearsals.

Nevertheless, todays meeting was actually to compile the various parts that we are allocated to. But it seems that all of us did not have the materials proper, except Sherwin. Then again, they continued discussing and brainstorming about any relevant points that they had missed out and that is rather relevant in our report. Ju was given another load; Case study of Artisan D' Angkor.
hehe. I think thats about it for this meeting.

See ya, k bye.

Meeting 15: Thursday 9thOctober 2008
Time: 4.30pm
Venue: Library


Todays meeting, we sat together to set-up online blogs for ourselves for FYP logging. The team decided to have a consistent look on each of our blogs, and to link our blogs to one another. Also after which, we then split the report workload so that we all got something to look into, and this way, it'll be more efficient. So the followingups of the attendees and PKTC and methodologies our team had adopted for this project will be Sherwin's. Jas needs to touch up on her introduction, Ju on budget and finances, Ash with the marketing strategies and myself, Limitations and Difficulties faced.

The deadline for the submission is not confirmed yet, but its better to put it all together as soon as possible. Okay go!

B Y E !

EVENT DAY!


its finally the day we have all been preparing for. was an early morning, packed our stuff and head to the PKTC. started off by clearing the shed up, putting up drapes, deco-ing the whole entire shed and giving it a new feel and outlook. it was tiring. it was a bright day, extremely hot day. with the kind of preparation that we did, we were dehydrated in no time. :

each of us had own roles to play, some went on the bus to fetch the attendees, some were helping out with the models preparing for their runway, photographers and videographers were around capturing moments to the event, some 'revamp' the shed making it more presentable, some preparing the refreshments. it was a very kampong feel where everyone was there helping out. With the arrival of our 5 honourable attendees, we start the event. Opening speech by the management, comes presentation and the tour, and the sum it all up is the Fashion Runway Show.

It felt good when you saw the attendees were enjoying themselves there, and that we received positive feedbacks and responses. Well, if you ask me, the event was a total success despite the amount of attendees.

All Over! K bye.
