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! 

I hope everyone who attended the event enjoyed their weekends! :D

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!

Sunday 28/6

  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

Today, June 27, Robin and Roslyn wanted us to go to east coast park to help them with the event they were holding with shioksg. 3 of us were supposed to go today but in the end I was the only one that went. Although Ging Yang, who was supposed to go tomorrow, did rush down to help in the afternoon.

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.

I stayed from 10am to 4pm and I think today was good exposure prior to our SP event and it also gave me a chance to watch how Robin and Roslyn promoted their business to the all age groups of the public.

26 June 2015 (Friday)

  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.
