Tips, Tricks n Stories

First of all, i would like to apologize to any Mak Kiah who owned warung kopi or selling karipap. It's not my intention to underestimate your job (they earn more $$ than government officer per month, just saying ^^ ) .

Few days ago, my sister called me, telling about the meeting she had at her new school. She claimed that the situation was very different to be compared to her old school. She said, " Meeting mula pukul 8, tapi kebanyakannya pukul 9 pun masih duduk berkumpul sembang sambil makan di kantin. Lebih mengharukan, bila ada yang bagi penerangan mengenai program dan benda-benda penting, semua pakat bercakap." I think, that is common. Without food, meeting can't start (to be precise, without karipap :D ). Without chatting, the objective of the meeting will not attain. Sad to see, sad to hear. Time is too precious to be wasted. Why prolong the meeting hour and drag the time from 2 hours to a whole day meeting?

So, my fellow readers, the keyword of today's post is MEETING. Yeah, meeting.Meeting and karipap with kopi is like 'irama dan lagu', can't be separated X) I learned about how to conduct an effective meeting from Assoc. Prof Mohd Khir. Before this, i thought meeting is simple. Gather the member of the club, jot down the important information, etc,etc. But, it's wrong. There are laws; how the input during the meeting can be used as an evidence in court, to challenge the respective company. I was taken aback to hear this. So, never think meeting is not important T_T

These are the infos I got during the class:

• There are two types of meeting: Public and Private.
• Meeting is valid when: is properly convened, constituted, and held.
• Chairman's duties is to ensure the meeting progress smoothly, not dominate the meeting eg;  refuse to accept others' suggestion.
• A good meeting is a meeting that satisfy these elements: empowering, boost up leadership & work skills, effective communication, and increase the moral among workers.
• The preparation, the motion, and the adjourment. These things are important. Important.

After this, no meeting should be held in sloppy manner as it was held before *biasanyala* Increase the productivity, reduce the time and sources especially karipap Makcik Kiah, don't sue me if this statement resulting to the loss of customers -__-". We can do it!! We can change for a better future.The information is new for me. But, it is knowledge which I should collect and store in my brain-drive.
