1. What have you done?
Basically for my elective posting based on the picture attached, i have decided to start a small business of selling variety of frozen kuih-muih such as donuts (my personal favourite!), currypuff, sausage roll and sardine roll. These 4 are my main menus that i put a lot of attention to so far because who didn’t like donuts and currypuff?? I have other menus in my mind as well to add more variety but like my mum said, baby steps.
So on the first week, i collected and listed out the recipes and ingredients for the kuih i decided to sell from my family, aunties and made some internet research for tips and tricks of making  scrumptious kuih with decent shapes and consistent sizes (very important in order to start on a business). I tried to make donut, sausage roll, sardine roll, and pau with help of my mom. I also asked my neighbour who is has good experiences of making kuih as she was a cooker at a school canteen. Honestly it was not even that hard to make kuih! The most difficult part was probably shaping it and making sure it is consistent in size but with practices, i kind of get used to it. All the kuihs i successfully made are not for sell on this week because i was just trying out and and of course taste test by my family members. Alhamdulillah i did get their approval so i think i’m good to start off my small humble business!

2. Points to remember from week 1!
I never knew making kuih are actually fun and therapeutic (at least for me). Honestly, i didn’t know before that from the exactly same ingredients of making donuts, we can make pau rebus (with coconut filling) and sausage roll! And i’m not talking from a perspective of a seller because obviously seller make in a large scale. As a perspective of someone who casually making kuih for evening tea, instead of hustling to make just one type of kuih, you can actually 3 or more types of kuih from the same bater (adunan).

3. Your feelings & thoughts
I feel like starting my own business took a lot of courage and as what Dr Akmal said ‘It is not a man show’. It takes time, needs a lot of patience (especially in shaping the kuihs), faith and support. I am truly grateful that my family are very supportive especially my mom. She helped me a lot indeed. Besides of making profit from selling kuih (insyaAlllah), i get to spend more time with my mom in the kitchen making kuih. I definitely will treasure this moment forever.

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!
One good thing that i can practice now is to be disciplined! I actually woke up early in the morning to start on making these kuihs. There were days that i feel so lazy to get off my bed especially during this holiday but i needed to wake up regardless. And that is definitely a good thing not only for a business starter but as a medical students as well.

5. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?
My main concern is the hygiene. Moreover we’re still going through this hard time of pandemic. Actually it scares me a lot like what if i accidentally infect my costumers and vise versa. Not forgetting the overall hygiene that i really need to consider while preparing and packaging the kuihs because i would not want to eat unclean food either. I was contemplating to wear gloves or not. Pros of wearing one is; the food is clean but the cons is; it is almost impossible to make a perfect shape of the kuih and it is uncomfortable. After a few considerations, i decided to just practice a good hygiene while preparing the food that are; wear head scarves at all time to prevent any hair got into the kuih, cut my nails short, and frequently wash my hands.

6. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far
Therapeutic and overwhelming

7. Your plan for next week (Week 2)
Next week I decided to start promoting my business and try to make frozen version of the kuihs as this week i did not keep it frozen as i directly fried and gave it to my family and relatives aka taste test. And not to forget the packing and storing process.

A part of the calculation that we made before selling the burgers to know the cost of one burger!

# data[].attributes.body
1. What have you done?

So far during Week 1, me and my groupmates planned to sell burgers in college since we have some free time. During the first week, we have sorted our plan and steps to do accordingly for us to sell the burgers. We sent an official letter to the office to get the approval from our 'Pengetua' and college administration. Then, we also surveyed on the stuffs and materials to buy such as the cooking equipment, our selling place and so on. Since we were so confident that we would get the approval, we created an Instagram page to promote our burger. Not only that, we also started to calculate the cost price and our budget.

2. Points to remember from Week 1

We were so excited when our 'Pengetua' approved our request to sell burgers. We quickly went to get our stocks at the nearby 'Ramly' shop. It went so smoothly and the shop is only like 5 minutes away from KTDI so that made our job a lot easier. Besides that, the support and loves that we received from our college friends are so heartwarming. Can you imagine how amazing it feels when a lot of people followed your business Instagram page and told you that they cannot wait to try our burgers. So, that was one of the reasons why we got so determined to start selling!!!

3. Your feelings & thoughts

Personally, I was so excited to start the business and was kind of curious on what would happen because of course, I felt a little scared that people would not buy our burgers.

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now.

It taught me that starting a business is not an easy job, even as a group since it is our first time. It made me realize that perseverance is very important because even before we started selling, I have already felt tired.

5. Any difficulties/ concerns? How did you cope?

Our main concern was what if we got rejected by our college administration to sell the burgers but Alhamdulillah, everything went well. The next concern is the KTDI cafe because they also expressed that they are concerned if the students stop buying burgers from them. We understood their concern and after we explained on the objectives of us selling burgers, they kind of understood that we are doing it for a short period of time only and just to finish our elective posting. Other than that, we also received some discouragements from the students but we just ignored and continued what we are doing.

6. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far.

Productive and tiring!

7. Your plan for next week (Week 2)

Our plan is to set up our cooking place and start selling the b urgers!

1. What you have done
Basically we created a group which consists 4 of us to sell burgers in college. We started to list out all the things needed and make sure to compare the prices before buying. Also, we calculated the cost price to see if it is worth it to sell the burgers or not . Then we created a Instagram page and logo so that we can engage more with the students.

2. Points to remember from week 1
- getting approval from Pengetua because we have competitors which is the cafe
- more people started to follow our IG page
- never know counting one by one ingredients are  so overwhelming

3. Feelings and thought
- Excited!!! Because finally I can taste burger tepi jalan after ages!!
- impressive, can believe that our random thoughts ‘jom jual burger’ actually turns into reality
- worried. Since this is my first time working with my friends what if we don’t get along and no one wanna buy our burgers

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now
Team work!!! Without it I don’t think so we can actually sell it. Each of us play such an important role and we always there to help each other out.

5. Any difficulties/ concerns/ how did you cope?
- initially Pengetua didn’t approve our ideas of selling the burgers. But after we persuade him many times, he then allowed us
- competition from cafe. But cafe’s burgers are pricy. So people will opt to ours

6. 2 words to describe EP progress so far
Excited and curious!!

7. Plan for next week (week 2)

- divide the work among us

What have you done?

Since I have using MaryKay product as my skincare, so I decided to start my online business with Marykay. I want to share about how important to practice basic skincare routine in our daily life and the benefits of using good product as our skincare. MaryKay has a lot of product, every set has different benefit based on customers skin type.

Points to remeber from Week 1

Every Mary Kay beauty consultant has to log in Mary Kay Intouch Website which all the useful materials and product knowledge are available in the website. I also get my ‘Starter Kit’  and business tools to help me kick start my Mary Kay Career.

I also joined skincare classes, business conference and also editing class using canva app. Canva app  is an easy-to-use, free graphic design software that helps me create professional looking design for my social media platform with ease. Since I registered using education email, I could assess all the template, elements, fonts and structure for free.

Your feelings and thoughts

In my personal view, I never think of starting a business because somehow i do not have courage and confident about it. Elective Posting made me get out from my comfort zone. It is not easy to start a business. Its need consistency, hardworking and very good planning. But glad that i have done the first step which is ‘start’.

Good things from what you did that you can practice now

I learned a lot of things in very first week especially about skincare based on our Asian skin type and also editing skills using canva app. I feel very skillful right now😋 and I plan to create and design my own instagram feed next week.

Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

Difficulties that i faced during the first week is internet connection😅. Seems like all the classes, canva apps and social media platform like instagram had used a lot of internet data. So to solve this problem, I have added another 20GB High-Speed Internet into my monthly internet plan.

UPDATED PRICE LIST WITH SOME PREVIOUS WORKS

# data[].attributes.body
1.       What have you done?

For introduction, I have decided to continue my small online business since MCO 1.0 implemented last year which is portrait/drawing commission. To restart the business, I made some promotional posters and videos via Instagram since it has been abandoned for quite some time. I review and update my price list for different types of portrait drawing. Mostly, I spent time by practicing my art skills using Procreate app in my Ipad during this week 1 since the last time I drew was before third year starts. Whenever I found myself stuck and clueless, I will browse some art drawings in Pinterest website to get inspiration.

2.       Points to remember from week 1!

·         To search more ideas on how to promote my Instagram page

·         To practice on my art skills

3.       Your feelings & thoughts

I feel excited to restart this mini project of mine, as i really enjoy drawing during my free time. It has been so long I drew anything that I forget about how calm and solace it is to draw while listening to songs and sipping iced coffee. Although it might sound a bit exaggerated, but it is one of the things I enjoyed doing. Plus, who wouldn’t love some side incomes? hehe

4.       1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!

Practice, practice and practice. For me, passion plays an important role in making arts but practice is undeniably essential to improve our skills.

5.       Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

My concern is I won’t get much customers as last time since this pandemic has really taken a great toll on everyone’s life including finance. But I remember the motive I started this project, which is to create and learn more about digital arts instead of focusing in making money.  Plus, this elective posting has provide a great chance for me to restart this business which I am really grateful for.

6.       2 words to describe elective posting progress so far

Joyous and calming

7.       Your plan for next week (Week 2)

·         To gain more followers/customers by doing more promotions

1. What have you done?

Alhamdulillah, selesai minggu 1 projek EP saya. Yeayyyyyy!! Mesti semua nak tahu kan apa yang saya buat? Hehe, jom ikut penulisan saya ini.

Sebelum itu, jangan kecam ye kalau penulisan ni dalam bahasa melayu walaupun soalan dalam bahasa inggeris. Hehe, soalan saya kekalkan dalam bahasa inggeris mengikut apa yang doktor berikan bagi mengekalkan keaslian. Tapi jawapan dalam bahasa melayu kerana saya rasa lebih seronok menulis dalam bahasa ibunda.

Alamak, panjang pula muqaddimah. Maafkan saya ye semua. Okay jom kita mula!

Dalam minggu 1, saya telah pun mengikuti beberapa sesi kelas atas talian melalui aplikasi "google meet" bersama Encik Halim. Saya sedih sebenarnya sebab tidak dapat bersemuka dek kerana kes covid yang masih tinggi dan merisaukan. Jadi bagi menjaga keselamatan bersama, atas talian sahaja la untuk minggu 1. Ha, Encik Halim ni adalah cikgu yang akan membimbing saya sepanjang projek EP saya ni.

Alamak, terlupa! Saya belajar berkenaan jual beli hartanah ye semua. Seronok menulis sampai terlupa bagitahu apa projek EP saya. Haha.

Okay, selaku agen hartanah bertauliah, Encik Halim telah mengajar saya berkenaan topik semakan pemilik sebagai permulaan. "Semakan pemilik", dua patah perkataan je. Nampak macam sikit tetapi tidak rakan-rakan. Dibawah topik besar ini ada 3 subtopik iaitu proses soal selidik bersama pemilik hartanah, perbezaan senarai esklusif dan tidak eksklusif dan semakan harga pasaran. Jadi Encik Halim telah mengupas secara terperinci setiap subtopik.

Ha cukup la tu jawapan untuk soalan ni. Saya nak sambung jawab soalan lain pula, hehe.

2. Points to remember from week 1!

Pertama, Encik Halim pesan bahawa minat itu datang dari hati. Tidak bole dipaksa tetapi tidak bermakna tidak bole dibina secara berperingkat. Orang kata, "kita kayuh perlahan-lahan". Maklumla, belajar bidang perubatan lepastu belajar pulak pasal bodang hartanah. Punya lah jauh bersimpang tapi tiada yang mustahil bagi saya. Pesanan Encik Halim membuatkan saya bertambah minat untuk menceburi bidang ini dan tidak sabar untuk pergi ke minggu seterusnya.

3. Your feelings & thoughts

Saya berasa sangat gembira dapat belajar ilmu hartanah. Saya ingatkan senang sahaja bidang ni namun tidak rakan-rakan. Topik pertama sahaja dah macam-macam info dalam kepala saya. Haha. Selama ni saya lihat ibu bapa saya uruskan jual beli macam senang namun realiti adalah sebaliknya. Namun dengan ilmu ini saya akhirnya dapat mengenal realiti itu dengan lebih dekat.

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!

Dalam peringkat permulaan, saya dapat menasihatkan ahli keluarga saya untuk bijak membuat pembelian hartanah. Jangan tertipu dengan harga dan yang paling penting berurusan dengan agen yang berdaftar. Kalau tidak, yang dikejar tidak dapat, yang dikendong berciciran.

5. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

Covid 19 adalah musuh utama utk minggu 1 ni. Kes berbelas ribu setiap hari. Jadinya terpaksa lah atas talian sahaja. Tidak dapat bersemuka, jika tidak, mesti lebih berkesan.

6. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far

Walaupun "elektif" tetapi "efektif".

7. Your plan for next week (Week 2)

Perancangan saya untuk minggu 2 adalah untuk mempelajari topik berikut.

Pengiklanan
Cara mengambil gambar hartanah
​Proses “branding”
​Proses buka akaun bisnes di media sosial

2.WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

In the first week of our EP we started with brainstorming a few ideas on what we want to sell. At first, we decided to sell gift boxes but after a long thought we had come to a decision to sell burgers as somehow we are always craving to eat burgers at night but all stalls had closed early. We named our company as Burgermbira. We also had searched for a place to sell burgers around the college compound only.  Furthermore, we also created our own logo and social media page to increase engagement.

3. POINTS TO REMEMBER.

We need to prepare cooking materials, equipment and  all ingredients a day before selling.

Need to survey on where to buy our wet and dry ingredients based on our budgets.

Plan on how to divide our work during selling time so we could avoid unnecessary problem.

Always update social media

Get approval from ‘ Pengetua Kolej’

4. YOUR FEELING AND THOUGHT

I feel so excited! I never  thought of selling burgers where we make the burgers ourselves. However, I'm also quite nervous and a little bit worried as it is something new for me and my friends as I had never experienced this kind of business.

5. ONE GOOD THING FROM WHAT YOU DID THAT YOU CAN PRACTICE

One thing I learned from the first week, problems will come, and it will never get easier, so you really need to have perseverance and never give up on what you want. We had faced many problems in the first week but luckily we managed to resolve them as we really work as a team. Therefore, I am now aware that I need to face the problems rather than avoid them.

6. ANY DIFFICULTIES/CONCERNS? HOW DID YOU COPE?

We had faced many problems like what was the appropriate way to sell burgers around the college compound while complying to the SOP  and how we should set up our stall. After all, it's very important to work as a team. Thankfully, we could also manage to settle all  the preparations needed before we can start selling. cafe

7. 2 WORDS TO DESCRIBE ELECTIVE POSTING PROGRESS SO FAR

Excited and curious.

8. YOUR PLAN NEXT WEEK

We will set up the location and start selling our burgers,  and record our business progress.  We also decided to have a feedback session every day after we finished selling. Our goal in the first week is to gain back money used as the ‘modal’ for our business and hoping we could manage our budget  thoroughly especially when buying wet ingredients as it cannot last long.

1. What have you done?
We had chosen entrepreneurship as our elective posting assignment. By we, i mean was the four of us as a team, selling burgers that we gave name as BURGERMBIRA with the hope that people will become truly happy after eating our burgers hehe. The idea of our business came after one night which one of us craves for some “tepi jalan ramly burgers” and was sad because it was nearly impossible to find some around here :(. Then, that’s when we got the idea of selling burgers for our elective posting. 💡

2. Points to remember from week 1.
- Serious and detailed planning of location, pros & cons, cooking materials & equipments, rough budgets (we tried to minimise the budget on materials & equipments), audience, marketing etc..
- Getting approval from Pengetua to sell burgers in KTDI1
- Ingredients price survey (we aim the best yet affordable ingredients to ensure superb eating experience, i mean- we need our customers to keep returning to us for our delicious quality burgers)
- Determine cost price per burgers, made calculations on profit etc…
- Establish platforms for marketing, we actively promoting in instagram @burgermbira_ktdi

3. Feelings & thoughts
- Surreal. Can’t believe we actually made this come true hahah
- Excited. Can’t wait to embark to this new journey experience.
- Terrified. No supports, no audience… can we actually do this?

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!
Teamwork. Team management. Delegating tasks among us. Dream high! Support each other.

5. Difficulties? Concerns? Coping mechanism?
- Initially Pengetua disapproved but after some discussions and persuasion, we got the approval 😆
- Discouragement from some of our friends but we believe in ourselves, keep faith and just continue what we think is right!
- Business competition. Turns out cafeteria also sells burgers but somehow….. a bit pricey?? 👉🏻👈🏻

1. What have you done?
My elective posting project is about volunteerism activity under Hospital Canselor Tunku Mukhriz (HCTM) UKM to assist government’s vaccination program. We provide vaccination via drive through method and in mobile form. In this volunteerism program, I am only eligible to participate as a non-healthcare volunteer where the job scopes are assisting the flow of vaccination while abiding to the strict SOPs.

2. Points to remember from week 1!
On the last Wednesday, Chef Wan came to bring his mother for her jab. We got to take a picture with him and he was so friendly towards us, the volunteer. Plus, as I have been doing this project for 2 weeks now, I get more familiar with the other volunteers, doctors and staffs there so it became more fun to go to work everyday and see them.

3. Your feelings & thoughts
Volunteerism is quite tiring but pretty fun too. I get to learn alot of things especially on how to deal with vaccinee with patience and polite. I get to gain experience and broaden my social connection as well as improve my self-esteem. I am so grateful for all these experiences and happy to be one of the manpower in achieving ‘herd immunity’ of Malaysia.

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!

I get to practice my medical knowledge alil bit as I am in charge for registration counter where there is one doctor in charge to consult vaccinee and gain consent before their vaccination. I get to learn from the doctors on how to consult and how to handle situation such as when vaccinee said they wanted only this one speficic vaccine and so on.

5. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

Volunteering for 5 to 6 hours, 5 days per week do make me feel tired and drained abit so I have to make sure that I stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water and have enough sleep at night. During weekend, I make sure to have a very good rest so I am ready to start fresh for the upcoming week.

6. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far

- Enjoyment
- Comprehension

7. Your plan for next week (Week 2)
I would like to try other counter as well. For the information HCTM drive through vaccination program consists of 4 main counters so I would like to try all four for my elective posting :)

1. What have you done?

I have decided to start a small business selling mini paintings for my elective posting. I have bought supplies needed for my project from Shopee beforehand, and painted several artworks inspired by various arts I found on social media (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram etc.). Since I already have an art account on Instagram, I just upgraded it and turned it into my business account (@mini.artsyy), and used it to post some artwork I have created. I spent my Week 1 mainly on practicing on my painting and creating designs I could paint through Canva before painting it on my canvas. Also, I created my own Thank You card using Canva and printed out some of them.

2. Points to remember from Week 1.

-Have a rough guideline as a reference on what I am going to paint

-Make sure to prepare few canvases beforehand to avoid starting an artwork later than expected

-Buy more paints with extended colours

3. Your feelings and thoughts.

I have mixed feelings about this project initially. It was calming because I could do something I was passionate about for my project but at the same time it was tiring as it takes a lot of my time and energy. And there was that one thought, saying that my project would not be as successful as I expected it to be and that I would not get enough support. But it turned out that I should not worry that much because I did receive a lot of support from my friends and family. That was the boost I needed to continue my project.

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now.

I learned to persevere whenever I paint, as the beginning of the process may be hard, but as long as I persevere and trust the process, everything will go well.

5. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

Whenever I paint, I would have a hard time finding the right shades of the colour I wanted to use and I would end up wasting more paint than I intended to. And there would be a lot of paint residue on my palette which was tiring when washing it off. The way I overcome this is by using just a little bit of the paints needed for mixing and I also use online colour mixer on the internet just so I can get the right idea of what colour I would be getting if I mix two certain colours. Not only that, since white paint is the colour I used the most in every artwork, it runs out fast and I could no paint certain artworks until I have white paint. The only way I overcome this is by buying a larger tube of white acrylic.

6. 2 words to describe EP progress so far.

Fun and calming!

7. Your plan for next week (Week 2)

I will start selling decent paintings I created so far to my friends and start promoting on social media. I will also open commission and start taking custom orders. In the meantime, I will practice on my sketchbook to improve my painting skills and restock my supplies.

1. What have you done?
For my elective posting, I’ve decided to start a small business under the name “Starryskiey” where I sell decorated toploaders which are used to store photocards, vaccine cards etc.  During this first week, I came up with several designs to be used as examples using the supplies I have from Shopee and prepared a few readystocks. I’ve also started promoting my business on instagram @starryskieyyy and carousell @strarryskiey. Moreover, I tested printing out a few self-printed polaroids to be used as freebies.

2. Points to remember from week 1!

- To order stickers earlier since they take quite some time to be shipped.

- To plan out my feed properly instead of simply posting then deleting whenever I feel like I have better pictures.

3. Your feelings & thoughts

To be honest, I was quite worried at first for this project especially in trying to promote decorated toploaders outside the kpop community, but the support I’ve received so far really motivated me to continue. Plus, I love the fact that I am able to do the stuff I like such as decorating and exploring my creativity.

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!

I learned to always plan a rough idea beforehand to ensure that I dont mess up the designs as some stickers leave residues which are very hard to peel off once they are misplaced.

5. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

- A difficulty I faced was trying to prevent dust from being easily trapped into the toploaders. However, I’ve managed to overcome this problem by storing them in an airtight container before use. Additionally, I also bought plastic sleeves where I will insert the decorated toploaders to protect them from collecting dust and supply buyers with an extra strip of washi tape just in case.

- Another concern Ive faced was in regards of the self-printed polaroids as it is quite difficult to ensure that the pictures came out clear. However, with the help of my friend I managed to change the settings to make the quality acceptable.

6. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far

- Exciting and productive

7. Your plan for next week (Week 2)

- My plan is to start selling my products and continue promoting my designs on available platforms. Aside from that, I would like to explore more challenging designs that may attract more interest towards my product. I also plan to figure out cheaper postage options (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

My very first bookmark collection - THE FLOWERY EDITION

# data[].attributes.body
1. What have you done?

My elective posting project is about selling products made from resin which are bookmark and keychain. I have gathered supplies from Shopee and research on resin for this week. Basically, resin is a two-component systems consists of epoxy resin and hardener. With a correct ratio, both components are mix together and left in a high temperature room to hardened. I also spent some time to practice making bookmarks and keychains.

2. Points to remember from week 1

A list of do(s) and don’t (s) in the making of resin product.

3. Your feeling and thoughts

Surely I have experienced roller coaster emotion in the first week. I went from “oh this is fun, let’s do some more!” to “I shouldn’t picked this as my project, is it too late to change?”. However, nothing is easy without practice and determination. I reassured myself that as time goes by, with practice, I would be better than I am today.

4. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now

Besides making product, this project also taught me to have more patience. I am well known for being impatient, but through resin making, it is safe to say that I am able to suppress myself from ruining the process.

5. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

Yes, I have encountered a lot of difficulties throughout the resin making process. One popular mistake that everyone, including me, makes in resin making is stirring the mixture too fast causing a lot of tiny bubbles to appear in the mixture. This bubbles would not look good after the resins are fully cured, so we need to remove them. I usually remove larger bubbles using a lighter, meanwhile smaller bubbles using toothpick. Can you imagine picking up all the small bubbles using toothpick? It is enough to give me backache by the end of the day. But fret not, a good music and good companion will makes all the ache go away.

6. 2 words to describe ep progress so far

Fun and enjoyable!

7. Your plan for next week

Since I have established an account for my resin product, I would focus on promoting and making more resin product for ready-stock purpose. Hopefully, my resin sells well. Please support me at @resinbyvera on Instagram, thank you everyone :)
