TOUCHED
Felt the need to blog, mainly to touch on a few issues.
The coza project has finally ended, and it ended on a good note. All of us got back our capital, haha ya some got back less as they ka ki bao some notebooks, and we donated a sum a $1500 to the Iranian children.
Lots of screw ups happened along the way. Had been wanting to do a detailed AAR on the whole project, mainly to tell you guys what happened along the way too so that you all won't make the same mistakes as us. And were we the darkest horse of the dark horses and managed to emerge victorous haha.
Main problem would be communication. This resulted in the design of the notebook that we din really wanted in the first place. Many things look as if its already settled and dealt with, but actually do have to go through everything till the final step.
e.g. SQ UE ZB and I had wanted the notebook cover to be made of cardboard and the thickness to be of a good one. Thickness of the notebook was settled on a meeting day, but at the end of the day everyone was like " I thought it was going to be like this.... I thought that..." Really la, U tink I thought who confirm?
Accounting issues. Everyone was so enthusiastic about selling the notebooks that none of us actualli accounted for the money issue properly and correctly. At the end of the day, it was lucky that all of us were ka ki nang. Hope that this wun happen for anyone of you in the future.
Most of the things were normally settled at the last minute, especially during the night before we were going to SMU, HISS and MSHS. The notebooks distribution and manpower issues were all dealt with haste and carelessness. Think we should always think ahead and plan far, about what will or may happen and prepare ourselves for any screw ups.
Datelines set must be met, and standards on every issue must not be compromised.
e.g. No sample notebook was given, and we were stuck with the 500 notebooks we got without seeing what it might have looked like in the first place.
Everyone should put in their heart and effort into doing everything and not wait for others to tell them what to do before they start doing something. Initiative is very important, so that the load and responsibility will be more evenly distributed.
