Group Activity and Events



Hello fellow viewers, for this weeks entry we were assigned to share about our groups activities 
First up, our day trip to ;


 Air Terjun Teladas, Maran !

With the Pak Cik Van ;)

The scenery 



For all of you who don't know where is Air Terjun Teladas, well it is located in Maran Pahang which is only one hour drive from Jengka. We rented UiTM's van which cost us about RM100 for a van. We started the journey from 8 in the morning and when we arrived there, we were really excited and also amazed to see that we were the only one’s there. They said that, that place was once popular but somehow now it has been abandoned. The route to the waterfall is very narrow and slightly treacherous however we arrived there safely. The air was really refreshing and the water was really cold.
 Although everyone fell asleep on the way back due to tiredness we all had a great time there ;)

Secondly ;


HOMSIS



Business Society's booth

Different types of wood displayed at the Wood Tech booth

 Silat demonstration


What is HOMSIS? Well HOMSIS is short form for Hari Organisasi Mahasiswa. On 22nd January 2011, HOMSIS was held in UITM Multipurpose Hall which is also known as DSG among the students. The purpose of HOMSIS is to attract new students especially students in their first semester to join their clubs. The event provided many clubs, sports club and society for the students to choose from like 'Kelab Bumiku' , Peers Club , 'Kelab Estetika Budaya (KEB), Bowling and etcetera.
Part 3 and below are compulsory to join at least a club to get points for their ' Kemahiran Insaniah ' . UiTM motivates students to join these clubs so that students will be active not only in their studies but also in their part - time curriculum. When they are active in the club, they would be able to make UiTM proud of their achievements.

So friends, sign up for a club and be active ! It's also a bonus point because when you're finding a job later in life, you would have extra certificate to back up your resume ;)

Finally ;


 Maulidur Rasul Celebration

The winning banner from Block C


On the 19th of February, Kompleks Siswi hosted an event to celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. . We are reminded of this day as the day our beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. was born on the 12th Rabiul Awal, Tahun Gajah in Mecca.
Every block has to take part in the celebration in which there are different categories like Nasyid, parade and banner competition among blocks.
Block C won the best banner while Block J won the Nasyid competition and lastly Block A won the best parade.
There were a lot of people who join and took part in the celebration and we think that it was a successful event in which we are reminded and to make us realize about the sacrifice of our beloved Prophet to spread Islam.

That's all for now, til the next entry.

Blog Review


Hey there fellow viewers, for this weeks assignment, we were assigned to review 4 blogs and identify their strength and weaknesses. We found various blogs from handmade accessories, make-ups, fashion and also food blog. 
( Do click on the blog shop name to check it out for yourself ;)



While browsing around for this assignment we found this blog which specializes in handmade accessories from earrings, necklace, hair piece and even handmade cushions!

 Strength : 

1. Because the items they are selling are handmade, they are pretty much unique as you can't get them anywhere else

2. It is a really convenient thing that they had labels at their side column, it saves time for the viewers to search for what they really want

3. The third strength is it is customer friendly because the terms and conditions are well written and not excessively long


Weaknesses :

1. There Cash on Delivery Service is only available in Mid Valley only and it is not convenient for those living outside of Klang Valley

2. We think that the blog is slightly too simple and does not have enough design
      
3. Finally we think that the handmade item that are sewn    should have more detailed and neater stitchings 

Ranking : We give Iroiro handmade blogshop 3 stars !






As we are all girls, we couldn't help but to do some blog-walking on make up products! This  blog offers a variety of make-ups from overseas and also fragrances that are not available here in Malaysia :)

Strength :

1. There's a systematic order form that helps the first time online shoppers to do their purchase which pretty much saves a lot of time

2. They advertises their promotions clearly so customer's know when and what promotion is currently going

3. You can also chat with the owner ( when they are online ) to ask for further inquiries


Weaknesses :

1. There are such a long list of Terms & Conditions which makes it really complicated and confusing

2. There's a really confusing point in which they stated 'COD will be entertained for items more than RM70. 50% deposit required prior to meet-up. COD subjected to availability and ACCORDING to our choice.'    while at another point they stated that ' COD area - not available '

3.  Because some of the items are pre-order, it will take approximately around 4 weeks ( and sometimes more ) for the items to reach Malaysia







Ranking : We give Make up Haven 2 and a half star !




We must say that we had fallen in love with almost every item there is in this blog! The clothes are very up to date and also very very fashionable. We think this blog is ideal for those who does not shop at malls, because they carry a variety of items from tops, dresses, handbags and also shoes.

Strength : 

1. They have a lot of items in terms of up to date,high quality and attractive garments, bags, and shoes. The owner of the blogshop has a good sense of fashion 

2. Because they have become quite successful in business, they even have customers from overseas which leads them to be able to do international shipping 

3. They have a very detailed description about their clothes. Example like prices, measurement and material of the clothes which makes it easier for the customer to make up their mind


Weaknesses : 

1. The arrangement of the layout makes the blog look a little bit too crowded 

2. The items that they're selling are always out of stock. They should have more stocks to satisfy the market demand

3. They do not provide a specific label and categories at the side column. It is quite hard to find a specific item in the blog


Ranking :We give Pumpkin 5 stars!




Yummy ! The desserts that they offer in this blog looks delicious. We just cannot take our eyes off it ! We all were really tempted to order each and one of their products!



Strength :

1. The desserts in this blog is very tempting, interesting and very mouth watering!

2. They make a special promotion for festive season. For example, they are selling various new types of delicious cookies such as chocolate chip cookies, vanilla sugar cookies and chocolate oatmeal cookies

3. They have a really good background music which is suitable with the blog. 


Weaknesses : 

1. The blog is kind of crowded as they put too many pictures as the background

2. The fonts are too small to read compared to the label of their item

 3. They do not have the latest update. The last one was on 1st May                                   2010

Ranking : We give A Place for Desserts 5 stars!



In conclusion, each and every blog has their own strength and weaknesses. Nothing is perfect but each blog needs to identify their weaknesses and keep improving in order to make their business goes on smoothly. They should make sure that their blog is always up to date to compete with the fast rising online business :)

til the next update,
toodles ~
