super busy 4th year 1st sem

i feel super tiring and low energy at the end of this sem, BREATHE oso no time..

even though i have only 5 subjects this sem, but i damn busy lo, let's i tell you what i have done and doing recently...

1. FINAL YEAR THESIS
The title of my thesis is research on the recovery strategy for ELV of local automotive industry and develop a software to conduct supply chain management for the strategy, unfortunately local automotive industry not yet started any activity for recovery, so i have to study oversea research especially European Union, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and USA.

we were give around 8 weeks to finish it as the brief was given at 4th week of this sem (one sem has 14 weeks). we supposed to write three chapters of thesis this sem which are introduction, literature review and methodology. the worst thing is we have to write it in Bahasa Melayu, it is really difficult to translate english journal to Malay. i quite lucky because the term i use all management one, so no much problem in translation. for my coursemates who do experiment or related to specific sciences terms, OMG lo.. (bluetooth = gigi buru??!!)

besides that, 8th Dec i have to present it to the examiners in MALAY. alamak...

2. ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT
This subject gives us the least assignment but quite difficult lo. we have to get an idea to start a new business and then write a business proposal. it is group project, but the group members are formed from different department, u know? it is hard to get a meeting as our schedule are totally different except this course, every wednesday 8pm-11pm. that's why i never been cheras connaught pasar malam this sem.

the most difficult for the business proposal is preparing the financial statement, wah!! i dun have the basic of account, how could we make it? number is complicated in account. there are balance sheet, cash flow statement, income statement and 3 year forecast sales. Hey, any engineer knows to make a complete financial report?? luckily, got my ex-roomate who studies account to help me.
