We had our very last meeting at SMU with Robin last week. We settled down at this cafe in SMU and Robin bought us some toast for breakfast. We talked about the internship and share with each other our thoughts. She wanted some feedbacks on how she should improve for future internships, thus we gave her some feedbacks based on our experience.
We share with Robin our thoughts such as we mentioned and explained that this internship is based on social media marketing which means we'll have to experience managing social media instead of offline job. Robin explained to us that she thought that if just letting us managing social media platform we will not gain experience in what really internship is also that their social media is actually already managed by Roslyn. Which explains why in the first place they always been asking us to do offline work.
I was surprised in the first place after hearing that we will have to pitch to a company suddenly, i didn't know what to expect in the first place. However i slowly adapt to working with start up and learning many new things which i previously was unaware of.
I feel that it is really lucky that we pitched to MadeReal as I had a really great time throughout this internship know the 2 nice founders Robin and Roslyn as well as other interns.
Robin also mentioned that we could all keep in touch and if there's opportunities in the future we could probably work together again.
After all, Thank You Ms Dora for giving me a chance to experience my first internship!

After Hazel agreed to let us post more content on their social media platforms, our group decided to start creating a YouTube channel to advertise Made Real. This channel would also tie into our DMB module and the video that we are currently in the process of making for them. We intend to have Made Real's snacks featured in the video and their various social media accounts featured at the end of the video as well to advertise for them and channel traffic from YouTube to their more well-managed Instagram and Facebook account.

Recently, we have been busy with assignments and with Robin and Roslyn being overseas, we have not had much time nor the opportunity to post content on Made Real's social media calendar. However, we had already planned a social media calendar way back at the start of June.
Thankfully, Zyi managed to contact Hazel to communicate to her that we needed to post some content on their social media platforms for our module and Hazel said that she understood and subsequently, let us post on their social media platforms.

I noticed that MadeReal have not been posting these few days as Roslyn and Robin is away, hence i wanted to do my part and help out with managing social media for them. So i contacted Hazel and spoke on the phone with her, she explained that actually TengFong and some other intens is assigned to managed the postings on social media by Roslyn about the reads and articles, she also said that the postings is all more formal and serious, which i felt is indirectly telling me that if we manage it, the standard is not there, which is what Roslyn won't want to see.
I stress that we need to manage the online platforms as this module is social media marketing, if we don't do so, we will be markdown and greatly affect our grades. As Hazel does not have the authority to make decisions for MadeReal, so she just let me know that for the next few postings, she can will let us post on behalf on instagram with her help by checking through of course.
More updates on the postings asap.

I've actually done up a Hari raya poster for MadeReal, i contacted Hazel asking her if it's ok for me to post on behalf of MadeReal, she spoke to me on the phone the other day and told me that i'll have to wait till Roslyn to come back before postings are made. She explained that herself haven't been updating as she is also waiting for Roslyn to be back. Therefore i couldn't make the postings.

That day Ging Yang,
Zong Wei and me went to LHK Office at 6pm. It was initially planned to have the
meeting at 10am but Hazel has a meeting in the afternoon and hence the meeting was
postponed to late hour.
Our group had planned to help out with the packing of boxes in the morning, get the necessary products and go back SP to do the filming. There is a change of plan since we cannot get the product until late night time which is impossible to return back SP. Most of our group members are not free after Thursday and so we plan to make the DMB filming to be at 14 July 2015, the day after we got the products.
If this filming was to be successful, it could be posted to Made Real social media platform and so Hazel requested to meet us at Dover to see our progress on the filming as well as to give us some suggestions.
We had help to shred a lot of magazines that night and help with the packing of 50 boxes which is quite time consuming. We completed the work at around 9pm plus and head back towards Aljunied Mrt and buy some other snack that is needed for our DMB filming.

That day, we got a
very angry message from Natalie saying that didn’t receive any schedule post
except for the caption that was being sent yesterday by either Roseann or ZhengYi.
Explanations were given saying that we accidentally forgotten as we have
assignments to rush on that week and luckily she just told us to take note of
it next time.
Hazel brought back
the topic about having a flash mob in Orchard to promote Made Real and asked us
to contact the dancers about it. Unfortunately, the dancers rejected the offer
they are no transportation is given and they also cannot accept the fact that
the timing keep changes continuously. We informed them about it and Hazel had
asked us for our lecturer contact number so I seek Ms Dora’s permission before
giving Hazel the number. But maybe because she is busy recently that’s why she
couldn’t make the call to Ms Dora.

The previous day
which is Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Our lecturer, Ms Dora, told us that our event
proposal have been rejected and hence we can’t organized the event in school.
This is applied to everyone that no physical event is allowed as it is not SP main event so it is not possible to
organize any event in SP. Hazel suggested to organize the road show in
Orchard instead. Natalie also told us that the photos that we had chosen some
of the unedited photos which have poor lighting etc the previous day. She told
us to take note of it in the future, our team didn’t realized that the photos
selected wasn’t completely edited so we did make an error.
Luckily the photos have not been posted to the timeline and they can still edit it themselves. According to what Natalie said, she had just posted an article on the Made Real website about the Shiok sg event and requested us to schedule a post for their article. She told us that we can create a caption and let her looked through it later on to check if editing is required or not. But everyone is rushing for their e-law assignment that week, so we are not sure whether we are able to complete everything on time or not.

Today our team went to Clementi Mall to meet hazel in the Starbucks coffee. As Robin and Roslyn are now overseas in Shanghai, Hazel is in-charge of looking after our progress as well as Made Real. We started discussing on the further details of the event and updating Hazel our progress also. As our SMM lecturer, Ms Dora, had informed us that there might have a possibility there the event cannot be held in Singapore Polytechnic as it won't get the permission of this. We have told this to Hazel and she seems to be disappointed but she asked, "if the event was to get permission to be held on SP, what is the that we are left to do?". We had created another Facebook account for this silent flash mob, started posting the event information, finalized the poster and plans on getting the logistic that is gong to used during the event. It had been decided that since the mini flash-mob cannot be held, then we might have the SDZ dancers to perform, showcase of Made Real's booth and distribute the Made Real's flyers. Previously, Zheng Yi and Wei Jie had designed a poster using Photoshop but now we decided to use the flyers leftover from the Botanic Garden's event.
After the discussion of the event, we asked Hazel if it is possible to make a post on their social media more often, she agrees. But for the Facebook account, only Roseann gain access to it and so we decide to select some photos from #FitForAPurpose event, the two days event for Shiok Sg held in East Coast Park. Each of the members will choose 5-7 images and send the image number to Roseann who will upload them into the Facebook account as an album.
Our next meeting with Hazel will be at 13 July 2014 around the morning. We needed Made Real's snack and their box for our digital media business filming but she needed us to help with the packing of boxes. So the meeting next week will be helping her with the packing as well as to get the necessary things for the filming.

Today, only me, Qi Wen and Zong Wei went to help Made Real pack the 50 boxes. We packed them from 6pm till 8pm. We also discussed on the things that we are going to bring tomorrow 14 July 2015 for the video shooting for DMB Mr Lynus class. We planned to use this video editing and post it at Made Real's facebook page and promote their products and brand awareness.

Today, during DMB lesson, Natalie and Hazel reprimanded us that during these two days we are not actively helping them, we have also explained to them that during these two days we are busy with our project and they understood that and told us that we should tell her next time earlier if such things happens again. Since we cannot do our flash mob in Singapore Poly, Hazel asked us that whether can we have the flash mob at orchard instead. However the dancers are having many competition and training going on and since there are no transport provided, it will be hard for the dancers to be at the orchard at a specific timing as the dancers are from different courses and some of the dancers are Muslims. Thus, the flash mob won't be carried out.
Therefore, we have the following plans.
1. Complete the video editing and if it's good , we will post this video on Made Real social media account and garner more audiences and brand awareness.
2. Do more posting on their social media account to promote their page as their post now is all about the snack box. we thought of using motivational quotes and some other healthy regards such as healthy fruit and stuff.
3. We will be viewing Nature Box and Kawaii Box which we have used in the presentation and other overseas companies social media websites and see what type of content they post, how they interact with their customers etc...

9/7 Thursday
So today, we confirmed with the Strictly Dance Zone members if they are able to make it to orchard for the flash mob which is proposed by Made Real. However, due to some reasons like their timetable is too packed and its out of Singapore Poly, they said no to the idea. This is understandable as it seems too much of us to ask for their help.
During that day when the no physical campaign is allowed in SP, I was just frozen and thinking what to do now. That truth came too sudden as the proposal and event details are going smoother after many trials and obstacles. But during that period of time, there are other more important stuff going on so we did not really have a major meeting on this.
Currently, after the dancer decline the idea, our group have no idea for any campaign now. And we are all very upset as all our time and effort is sort of wasted. But regardless, we learned many new infomations and exposed to all the obstacles for organising an event so i still think that lesson of holding an event is still worth.
So for now, i think we our group will just continue their social media postings and see what else is there to help in.

At the meeting this morning, aside from all the other issues we discussed as mentioned in blog entry #13, Hazel also gave us access Made Real's google drive so that we could use the photos in the google drive to post content on their Facebook and Instagram. Hazel instructed us to create a Facebook album for all the photos taken at their event at East Coast Park. She told all of us to pick 30 photos to put into the album and give some of the more interesting photos a caption.
When I got home that night, I downloaded the 30 pictures from their google drive, created a Facebook album for the event on Made Real's Facebook page and uploaded the photos.

So today, we uploaded the pictures from the event Fit For A Purpose to Made Real's Facebook page. We selected some of the best ones among all the pictures. However there are too much picture to put captions for all the pictures. Currently, it can be seen from the photo tab but not under the timeline of Made Real page. This is because, they have updated their website with a new article about the event. So we are to think of a caption for the post that relate to the photo album on Made Real Facebook page and the new article on their website.
Currently we only thought of ''#FitForAPurpose event post is up, head over to our website for new updates now! http://madereal.sg/fitforapurpose-shioksg/''. This is because with the hashtag, it is much easier to find and start a trend with that hashtag. Also, we attract readers to view new updates and added the link of the article on their website for easier access for the readers.

That day, we went to east coast park to participate and help our in an even that ShiokSG and Made Real organised together. Although I was late for the crowd gathering part as I misjudged the travel time, I eventually managed to arrive in time to help in the crowd gathering after changing into the Made Real T- Shirt they gave us. We walked around east coast park talking to people and informing them of the event that we would be holding at the big tree beside the restaurant "Atmosphere" at 12 noon. After the crowd gathering ended, we gathered back at "Atmosphere" to take a short break. After that, we went on to participate in the first part of the work out event which was organised by Made Real. It was pretty relaxed and me and Qi Wen breezed through it. Wei Jie and Ging Yang however, had a much harder time. We later went back to "Atmosphere" and were invited to play Laser Tag which was quite fun. After a 5 min break from the Laser Tag game, we went on to the second part of the event which was organised by ShiokSG. This time the exercise was extremely intense and we were extremely exhausted. We soon went back to the company office to shred some paper for next month's made real box and promptly went home after that.

On this day, we went to meet the president of the "Strictly Dance Zone" (The dance group we are working with) to discuss on the availability of the dancers on the dates of the flash mobs. We had a few problems trying to sync the timing of the flash mobs and when the members are free as we were unable to get "leave of absences" for them. Another problem was that the dance crew did not want to do an unprofessional performance. Fortunately, we managed to get dancers to come on the final road show on 14 August.

Today, our group head towards the Starbucks located in Clementi Mall for the meeting with Made Real. Only Hazel from the Made Real team was there. I was the first to reach and the rest soon follows. As Hazel did not reach yet, we settle down in Starbucks and do our own work.
Soon, Hazel arrive and we began our meeting. We first discussed about the flash mob and silent disco as it is of the main importance. We said that we have already confirmed the dancers and they are free on 14th Aug which is the main roadshow date. However as i said in my previous post, we tried to get them to do flash mob before the roadshow but could not.
So the flash mob discussion is done with Hazel. Next was the Silent Flash Mob, after thinking about it. It seems quite risky that people would not even participate. As we did not managed to get flash mob before the actual event to generate the hype. So without hype, it is unlikely that people would attend the silent flash mob. So we were thinking to scrap off this idea.
Lastly, we discuss on the Facebook posting for the upcoming Hari Raya, SG 50 and their new theme for the month which is ''Around the World''. We look up other companies' social platform to find the ''element'' that makes their post having so much likes. And we have access to the folder full of pictures of the event that we all went which is the Be-You-Ti-Ful carnival. We are told to select some picture out of those 700+ pictures to post on their Facebook page.

We confirmed with the dancers and they are free on 14th Aug which is the main roadshow date. Previously, we wanted to have more flash mob beforehand. So we approached Shellvia who is the president of Strictly Dance Zone (SDZ) on 2nd July. So there was the problem about the Leave Of Absence from lesson which is the main reason to why they could not have the whole team coming together. Also, they said that they do not wish to have an unprofessional performance so they did not allow only some people who are free to go perform the flash mob. After the discussion, we settled on at least have the dance on 14th Aug. At last, the dancers have at least been confirmed after a long time discussing with them.

Me, Ging Yang, Roseann, Wei Jie, Qi Wen and Zyi met at Clementi Mall today to discus on the dates of the flash mobs. We also decided on the posts for their Instagram and Facebook and that they should post other things rather than just their products. We went to search up on what Nature Box (A competitor) posted for their own social media websites. We found out that when they posted pictures of their own products, they didn't have much likes. However when they posted other things such as motivational quotes and other things, they had a lot of likes. We also realized that only Roseann had admin access to Made Real's Facebook page, so the rest of us chose some pictures for her to post. Our next meeting would be at next Monday.
P.S. I missed only 1 meeting.

Today, 7 July, all of us went to Clementi Mall to meet with Hazel, Roslyn's younger sister and Robin's close friend. As Robin and Roslyn are now overseas in Shanghai, and are going to be there for the next month, they put Hazel in charge of us and Made Real.
The meeting this morning was to discuss further details for our event, update Hazel on our event progress and discuss how we could post content to their social media platforms.
We decided since we could not have the mini flash mobs we would just have a showcase by SDZ and Made Real's booth at the road show. We also decided to use Made Real's flyer at the roadshow instead of our previously designed flyer. We also told Hazel that we managed to get most of the logistics for the event.
After the discussion on the event, we asked Hazel if it was possible for us to post on Made Real's social media more often since Robin and Roslyn are busy in Shanghai. She agreed to that and asked us for ideas on what we could post on their Instagram and Facebook. I suggested having a Hari Raya and National Day themed post since both events were coming soon. Hazel told us that she wanted Made Real's Instagram page to look like Naturebox's. As seen from the photos below, Made Real's Instagram page looks 'messy' in the sense that it is a jumble of photos of food, people, boxes and events. Whereas Naturebox's Instagram page is 'cleaner' with mostly high-definition pictures of food and only 2 or 3 other types of pictures.
Hence we suggested to Hazel that maybe we should have shoots with other things like gym shoots. This way Made Real's Instagram will be more attractive as currently, all the food pictures on their Instagram is Made Real's snackbox products. This strategy is proven to be more effective, as seen from Naturebox's pictures. The pictures of Naturebox products on their instagram get less likes than pictures of other healthy things.
The meeting this morning was to discuss further details for our event, update Hazel on our event progress and discuss how we could post content to their social media platforms.
We decided since we could not have the mini flash mobs we would just have a showcase by SDZ and Made Real's booth at the road show. We also decided to use Made Real's flyer at the roadshow instead of our previously designed flyer. We also told Hazel that we managed to get most of the logistics for the event.
After the discussion on the event, we asked Hazel if it was possible for us to post on Made Real's social media more often since Robin and Roslyn are busy in Shanghai. She agreed to that and asked us for ideas on what we could post on their Instagram and Facebook. I suggested having a Hari Raya and National Day themed post since both events were coming soon.

We met Hazel at 10am this morning in Clementi Mall. We discuss about quite a few details.
Firstly on ideas for Facebook and Instagram Posts, We gave ideas for what other kind of posts instead of just products, because every posting mainly about the product people will not be interested, I gave example using NatureBox. NatureBox product post have very little likes compared to their motivational posts. Also we can use the upcoming festival period to promote, such as Hari raya and SG 50.
Secondly, we also talk about postings on Facebook. Not all of us gained the access to MadeReal's Facebook only Roseann has access to it. We will be posting the photos taken for #FitForAPurpose event on MadeReal's Facebook. Hence, our group will help with sorting out of photos, choose about 50 photos out of many, Roseann will then upload those photos to a new album we will be creating for MadeReal.
Thirdly, we discussed about our events, but sadly Ms Dora told us that our event will not be able to hold in SP anymore.
Our next meeting will be on Monday. Hope to update you soon on our progress on social media.

On 2 July, we met the president of Strictly Dance Zone (SDZ), Shellvia to discuss plans for the silent flash mob event. Shellvia had previously informed us that SDZ couldn't make it for the whole of July however we requested to meet with her to negotiate the dance dates.
In the meeting, Shellvia told us that the earliest date that they could make it to perform for us was in August. We told her that our final event, the roadshow, was on August 14 and she agreed to organize an SDZ performance for us. Since we could not have the mini flash mobs in July we decided to have 1 showcase from SDZ on 14 August during lunch and 1 silent flash mob after school.
Shellvia told us that SDZ would choreograph their own choreography for the showcase and also help us choreograph the silent flash mob. All they needed from us were speakers to play the music for the showcase. I had already approached my friend to borrow his amplifier for the event. For the background music for the silent flash mob I had approached my senior in DMAT to ask if he could give us one of his original soundtracks for the event and he agreed. Robin and Roslyn had also agreed to let us use the printer at their Aljunied office to print 200 copies of our event flyers.

We have a meeting with
Shellvia, the president od the SDZ club, at food court 5 after school around
3pm. This meeting is compulsort and urgent as we really need their help in one
of our event that we will be holding in July and August. Unfortunately, she
said that they are really unable to make it for the July event as they have a
really packed schedule to follow. The SDZ dancers however was able to make it
for the main event which was held on August 14. We appreciate her effort to make
time out for us and finalize the details. SDZ dancers will perform a 2 to 3
minutes dance to catch people attention and the main event will start after 30
minutes on August 14.

Ging Yang, Wei Jie and me met up in Dakota
MRT before heading towards East Coast Park together to help Made Real with
their Shiok SG event. After we reached Atmosphere restaurant, we have to tell
the waitress that we are working for Made Real before we were allow to sit
inside.
Surprisingly, we were the first to reach there, before Robin, Roslyn, Jun Hao and the rest reached. We were told to change into their Made Real shirt and start to promote the fitness program (Made Real) that will be going on at 12 noon beside the big tree nearest to the Atmosphere restaurant. We were walking down the path when Zong Wei found his way here and joined us.
On average, we were successful in promoting 2-3 times to either a group or a few people that a program ongoing will be taking place at 12 noon for a specific reason and handing them a Shiok sticker so that they can like their Facebook page. We also joined their fitness program at 12noon as not many participants joined, after deducting the Shiok SG people and Made Real people, there were only an estimate amount of 3-4 participants joining the program. It’s was fairly a simple exercise which ended in about 20 minutes.
Before we could eat our lunch, we had a game of laser tag which was very fun. Second round of promoting the fitness program (Shiok SG) but this time it is harder to find people to join the program. In the end I only saw two new participants joining the program and our group also joined the program together with the rest. This time round, the exercise is more intense which make my whole body ache for several days.
After the event has ended, we took Robin’s car and headed back to the Aljunied office and help out in shredding more papers until 5 pm when we really have to go home to do our assignments.

Today Hazel (Roslyn's sister) called our group down to botanic garden to help out. GingYang and ZongWei were there going around the place to promote for MadeReal whereas Hazel asked me to help her with photoshoot for July's theme box " Around the World "
I reached at 12.30, was early so walked around. Hazel reached at 1 but left some stuff in her car so she went back and I waited till 2.
Hazel was there with her bf , and I brought my bf along too to help me with more ideas. We did a few different shoot for the boxes, a general shoot for the website and another for July's theme box!
I was given the chance to take the photos and even model for it.
I contributed by giving ideas, how to shoot it, how to display to have better appearance etc.
Though it was a hot day with lots of insects which I obviously dislike. But I'm glad to help her with tiny favour like this!

Today only me and Zong Wei went to help out for Made Real SG at Botanic garden. We start to give out flyers and sell the snack boxes at price $20 each and we managed to convince 3 buyers to buy the snack box. Our strategy is this, we give out the Sng Baos first which is the teh c (something pop). We walked around the whole Botanic Garden and give out the Sng Baos first then introduced them what Made Real is about and sell the Made Real Snack Boxes. We managed to sold 3 snack boxes today and earned $60/-
I felt more confident when speaking now as just now managed to spoke to so many crowd of people in Botanic Garden, have Caucasian, Taiwanese, Koreans, Indians, Philippines, tourists.
After that around 2pm, Zyi and her boyfriend came to the Botanic Garden to help to do the photo shoot for Made Real July's theme: All Around The World ! We went to the pavilion in Botanic Garden and did some photo shoot for Made Real SG.
In the nutshell,
1. I learnt how to speak more confidently to strangers.
2. I learnt how to photo shoot the Made Real SG products.
Below are the photos of the "Event".

Recently she mentioned that July will be a busy period for them, she said that she cannot guarantee to help us out due to everyone's schedule.
Therefore we are organising this meet up later to discuss with Shellvia face to face. I hope everything will go well...

For our General group which includes Robin, Roslyn, Sp interns and other inters, we are using this app called "slack" to communicate! 
Unlike everyone who simply uses Whatsapp, we tried out slack!
Slack brings all communication together in one place. It allows group conversations and private conversation by direct messages one to one.
It also allows file sharing such as simply dropping files, documents, PDFs, images, videos to share with everyone.
There are more things slack can do! Give slack a try to experience something new :)

Regards to event held on 27 June, I felt bad for not attending. I really hope to help out though, however it was due to my busy schedule as I'm currently taking a part time job. I really hope there will be more upcoming events for me to attend and help out!
Even though I'm unable to come down personally for the event, i never fail to advertise and share the event on fb!

We headed to LHK building today to help out with preparing for this coming weekend's event.
Roseann and I were in charge of folding the boxes and pasting the sticker logo on the boxes! We were tasked to fold around 200 boxes! 
While Ging Yang, Qi Wen and Zong Wei were tasked to place the items into the boxes
After we are all done, due to lack of display and decoration, Robin decided to fill the boxes with paperstipes, however the machine was spoilt so we had to shed the paper ourselves using a pair of siccsors!
Afterwards Robin was rushing for her meeting so we hurried to finish up as much as could and left.
It was interesting in helping out with everything! Now I realized actually it's not easy to manage a company! They had to advertise on social media regularly, ensure there is enough manpower, manage the stocks etc ..
To be frank, great experience with MadeReal!

Today was the second day of the event by Made Real. We arranged to meet at 9.30 at Dakota Mrt and proceed to the East Coast Park. Qi Wen, Zong Wei, Ging Yang and I went for the event today. We reached at about 10am there and waited for the event to start. We were there before the rest of the event organiser even arrived.
Before the workout led by Made Real start at 12pm, the four of us are tasked to walk around the park and promote the event that is happening later at 12pm. We carried the Made Real boxes and walked around and approached groups to inform them about the free workout they can just join. From the day one of the event pictures, it seems like there would be a large crowd doing the workout. However, after removing the partnerships members there, there is really very little people who went for the workout on their own. The workout is mainly to spread the brand awareness of Made Real and showing the fitness aspect of it.
After that, we had a small break and was asked to join the laser tag. And it is only then that I found out that some of the people that were with us just now were actually athlete that participated in the Sea Games and some won a gold medal. It seems that they are the athlete that Made Real sponsored their box to them. This help to generate more brand awareness as when the athlete get famous, the Made Real brand will also be reached out to more people.

Made Real x ShiokSG event
As the participation rate was less than expected today, I had to walk around with Roslyn to advertise for Made Real and their event, to encourage people to join the event. Me and Ging Yang also had to join some of the events as there were not enough people. I feel that today's event helped me to learn and prepare for our own event in SP. Things like, what to expect for our own event and what to do if there were not enough people willing to participate. Since I had to walk around with Roslyn carrying the Made Real box, I learnt how to present myself to advertise by watching her interact with the public/potential customers. When speaking to people, I noticed that she always redirected them to their social media page like Facebook and Instagram. This way even if people do not go for their event they would still be increasing the exposure for their social media accounts.

Ging
Yang and me was having another Skype meeting at 3:15 pm after we have completed
our DMB storyboard. This time, we discussed about the email to be sent to Han
Jun, the crew management. We typed out the details of the event in the google
docs and since Ging Yang has the contact number of Han Jun and sending him a message
which is so long is quite inconvenient so I asked Ging Yang to ask Han Jun for
his email address. In the google docs, we typed out the details and the things
required from them.
From what I heard from Ging Yang, he said that Shellvia, the SDZ president, had told him that we have to at least give him some benefit for helping us out for the event which I have completely no idea what beneficial conditions we can give him. But after we have complete with the email that have to be sent to Han Jun, we moved on to SMM local company slide.

Because
our lecturer, Ms Dora, had told us that our slides (overseas and local) must
have the ”Most engaging content“ in their social media platform. The local
company which chose at first is NomBox which we have done a complete slide for
it already have to be deleted away as this company lack of brand awareness and
have very little likes, comments and shares in their Facebook and other social
platform. Ging Yang and me decide to change into Kawaii Box which sells Korean
and Japan cute products to our doorstep. We deleted the Nom Box information and
start to research on the Kawaii Box. I stopped doing the slides at around
5:45 pm as I have to rush to my CCA, Taekwando which is at 7 pm. I continued the
slides after I reach home at 11 pm++, do some more research and typing until
1:50 am before going to sleep.

Today
in LHK Building, we helped the Made Real fold boxes for their Guava pass and
Shiok event on this coming weekends from 10:30 to around 2pm. After putting our
belongings down on the floor inside the office, we were separated into two
groups to help them out. Ging Yang, Zong Wei and me helped with the packaging
of the snack boxes that were for the Shiok event. Jun Hao also helped together
with us.
After we have finished with the Shiok boxes, we went to ask Robin what can we help and we were assigned to fold the boxes for the Guava pass event. We were joking around celebrating to go home after the folding of the boxes but there was more packaging of Guava pass boxes after we finished with the folding.
Soon after, we joined Zheng Yi and Roseann to cut the magazines papers into strips as there is a lack of purple-coloured paper used as the base of the boxes and the shredder also needs a rest. We have to cut the magazines with a scissors and find out the most effective ways to cut the magazines. We have a little chit-chat with Jun Hao in the office which cutting the magazines. Robin said that she has to leave as she has a meeting in the city at 2:30pm and we started to clean up the office before leaving the office and head back home.

Today
we have planned to meet in SP to do our incomplete assignment and I reached
school at around 12 noon , Me, Zong Wei and Ging Yang went into the main
library inside the drawing room to start doing SMM, DMB work which we managed to
complete the local slide and combine it with the overseas slides. We also
managed to do some amendments to our slides before Wei Jie came and joined us.
Wei Jie did the editing part which he found some errors in our slides and help us
changed it. Ging Yang and me decide to ask whether the dancers are free or not
to meet us to discuss some issue and details for the 4 events that we are planning
to hold in SP. Their president replied saying that she is free at around 7pm
but I have to go home at around 5pm so I was not unable to join the meeting
with the dancers.
At
home, Ging Yang skype me at 7:30pm saying that the dancer president, Shellvia,
is coming soon and that he was alone by himself. Because I was at home so I
could not do anything much. I just hear their conversation and asked a few
question to Shellvia. While Ging Yang was there, he let her to look through our
proposal. Shellvia told him that maybe she is going to ask 40 dancers to
participate in our event but applying for LOA is an issue. But after knowing
that the event that we are holding is not SP main event so the dancers are
unable to apply for LOA as result. Our group suggest to stick with 20 dancers
for each event to make things simpler for the dancers which I don’t know
whether it is effective or not. Shellvia also gave Ging Yang the contact info
of Han Jun, the crew management, in order to borrow two speakers for our
upcoming-event which we decide to discuss this another day.

After a long time of finding a Audio live streaming platform, I finally found one that is user-friendly and mobile-friendly. The platform is called Mixlr and it is a very simple yet powerful audio streaming platform. It have a chat room where the people that are listening to it, can comment and discuss among themselves. Also, to make it easier, it can be embed in Social Medias like Facebook and Twitter to let the audio stream from there. This is a lot easier for users to have access to the audio streaming.
At first, the plan was to use SoundCloud for the task. However, I could not understand or it may not have the function of live streaming. After like a 1 week playing around with SoundCloud, I gave up and went on to find other platforms. Youtube live streaming seems viable so I gave it a try. However, due to some problem with the account verification, I could not do it. Soon after, I found this platform from my friend which is called Sub Sonic. It is not really user-friendly and i was confused with how it works.
Then, I chanced upon Mixlr and finally works. I made an account and started testing it on computer and my own phone. Another good point to it is that, the user do not have to make an account on the phone app to listen to live stream. However, they are unable to chat in the chatroom.
Below is the snapshot of the Mixlr application. It have a clean and simple user-interface to it. And it support embedding really easily and if people wish to find the live stream via a link, all the functions are there on the top of the application.

There was an event held at East Coast Park by Made Real and we were told to go help out. However, in my opinion, the event does not really seem to be useful for us to learn. Anyway, I was leaving my house and was heading towards Dakota to meet with the rest. However, halfway through the journey, I got a phone call that told me that, my father had fainted while having check up at the hospital. So, I have no choice but to turn back and head towards Novena instead. This event is held for two days, so maybe I will go and help out for tomorrow's event instead.
Prior to this event, the previous meetings, I could not go as I already have event to go to. By skipping this again, it seems like the Made Real people are getting a negative image of me skipping all their meetings and event. Also because I did not went for the previous meeting where work on the Local and Oversea project have been done, I could only just build up on it instead of starting it.
