the exec. summary

Wednesday, McDonald's Sek 2, 10.00pm - 1.50am

hi, well let's continue our adventure!
we continue our executive summary after solat terawikh at McD.
we start writing the summary based on our brainstorming and our revenues calculation. not only the executive summary, we also create logo for our company.. oh, and also open up a facebook account to promote and get support from our friends! :)
and all of that took us almost 4 hours!
pheeew, done with the logo only that the summary have to be revised again.

Thursday, lecture's room 814, 12.00pm - 1.30pm

we finalise our summary.. make some changes etc etc then poof! the executive summary is done!
oh, remember the support letter that we suppose to get it by today?
well actually, when we called kak Fidah, she said that she did not received any email from us! we were gobsmacked! so we sent the email again to her, but sadly, she informed us that she got problem in access the email aka the server was down. so there you go.. :/
she did said to sent it to her by person, but we can't cause we did not print the letter and we had lectures at 2 till 6 pm. so, the solution was, just let it go. =/ too bad. but it is a good lesson for us too..

 we send the executive summary to Jo at 4.50pm! due to the internet problem and classes. thank God we still have time to sent it.. so it's done!

then at 11pm, we met again to review the 2 minutes speech and the slides after long discussion it went well. so now all we have to do is wait for tomorrow!

we are nervous, but we will do our best!! goodluck!! :)

the adventure begins!

1 Sept 2010, Wednesday, 12.20pm, Lab 4 Floor 4 SAAS Building

After the break for Merdeka, we met again and made up our mind to proceed with FutsalEx.
so, what we did was we brainstormed our idea.. on the 6 questions that we have to answer.
after long discussion, we made up our mind to try to collaborate with FAM (Football Association of Malaysia). If we can collaborate with FAM, it will be fantastic! it will be one of our barriers and advantage at the same time!  We want FAM to give us the intention/support letter.
So Hafiz called the hotline of FAM and FAM response. however, after long talk with the FAM, we were informed that if we want any support letter from FAM, it have to go process and accept by the president. And the process will take months! The latest that we can get it is after 1 month. Of course we want the letter by today or 2 Sept not after one month! so there you go, our plan flew off just like that.. too bad. because we know, if we get the support letter, it will be WOW! :)

menara saas, our faculty building

then, our back up plan was to get a support letter from our VC. Dato' Sahol.
So off we go to the Chancellor building.. however (another sad story).. the PA said that we at least need a letter about this business idea if we want the VC to support. so there you go, another back up plan failed. it is our fault too, because "terjah" to meet VC. what to do, we only have 3 days left! huu~

Bangunan Canselori

but then the PA did said to meet Kak Fidah, PA for Dato Abdullah (Timb. Naib Canselor HEP)
similarly, kak Fidah said we atleast need a letter to inform about the plan.. so to solve it, kak Fidah give us a chance to write the letter and email it to her and get the letter by tomorrow.
So off we go to the library to write the letter and email it to her.. our problem solved!

and the time was already 5pm. So that ends the story for the day..
what a day! rushing from our faculty building to chancellor build then off went to library etc etc
but it is a good experience! that's all :)

First Brainstorming!!!!

30/8/2010, Monday, 12.45p.m, 1st Floor, DK1.

Today is our first meeting. We're working hard finding new ideas for our upcoming challenge this Saturday. Time constraint push our adrenaline to work harder. Although we are fasting, it is not an excuse from stopping us to fight and give our best.

3 ideas on the table:

1. Spec It on!
2. FanElla
3. Futsal Ex

Yeah! 6 questions to be answered, and as expected, the barriers to entry is the hardest!!(i guess other groups faced the same problem too)

Go fellow mate!! Although we were short noticed (we thought the competition was on 24th September), we'll not give up!!! We'll prove that although it was last minute effort, we have the qualities and WIN!!!!

Hi!

Hello!
We are one of group candidates in YES 3 Challenge.

We are accountancy student from UiTM Shah Alam.
Our group consists of 4 members and they are:
Fatin Hanani
Muhammad Amirul Hafis
Mohammad Hafiz
Syed Qamarul Hikma

The reason that we join this YES Challenge is because of the RM20,000! (joke)
Our main reason to join YES is because we would like to have the experience and the knowledge.
We want to learn more about entrepreneurship.
By joining YES Challenge, we would get lots of knowledge that never being thaught in school or university. Not only that, we get the experience being interviewed by real people! What we mean is real investors, CEOs etc etc.
It is a one in a lifetime opportunity! So thanks to Money Tree and UiTM to provide this event! :D

It doesn't matter (well maybe it is matter) whether or not we win or not, the most important is that we get knowledge and experience! :)

So well, good luck to all of us and to all other participants!
