A Round of Applause for FEMSA

On 22 September 2012, a number of students of Faculty of Economics and Management Student Association (FEMSA) embarked in a journey worth a lifetime. On that particular day, these students, regardless of their busy schedules, had volunteered to conduct a motivational session with the orphans and the less fortunate students ranged from Year 3 to Year 6 from Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Sekamat (SKSS), Kajang. Throughout the session, I had witnessed a selfless act by these FEMSA facilitators. The shared laughter and even tears during that one-day session have indeed created a special bond between the younger ones and their big brothers and sisters. I hope there will be more of similar types of activities conducted by our students. To the committee member of FEMSA 2011/12, I would like to congratulate you for a job well done. Thank you for spending some time with these kids. And thank you for sharing your heart with them.

New Way of Communicating

I was just doing my work yesterday, finishing the Felda presentation, marking the caselets prepared by the RSOG Associates that I am also responsible for, meeting the students under my supervision, etc. and my eyes happened to gaze at several cards given by my students. I was thinking on how to actually convey my thanks to them for the lovely cards..the easiest way. And suddenly I had an idea...On my notice board now, I put a section where I can actually put notes to my students. If you happen to pass my door, just look at it. Maybe the message is for you...

Again..New Semester..

Life moves on. It is now Semester I 2012-2013. As I have often told my students, it is not only about getting good grades, but also about learning. A CGPA that states a 4.0 but is only earned by memorizing the facts and not understanding them may not be worth a lot in the eyes of your future employers. Life in a university is meant to teach you about relationships, responsibilities, and many more. Get to know your friends and your lecturers. Learn from them and do not be shy to share your own knowledge or experience with them. At the same time, do not forget to enjoy yourself. I therefore take this opportunity to welcome all the students in my classes - MGM3113, MGM 4124, and GSM5101. I hope we will be able to learn TOGETHER.
