In-tray exercise
For a couple of hours, I felt as if i'm a participant in the US' reality show "The Apprentice".
Broken up into groups of 3, we were given a task to develop a new business unit for the company by coming up with a marketable product for the company. We were only given 1 hr 50 mins, to identify our target market, to come up with the product design, and to market the product. We were also required to prepare the presentation at the end of our group discussion.
With assessors all around us, it was really stressful, and given such a short period of time to prepare, our creative juice was really squeezed to the max.
Another group task is a more challenging and interesting one, where we were again broken into different groups and given a scenario where an earthquake struck a particular city and its surrounding villages. And given that we were from a 'GIVE HOPE TEAM', we were required to plan on all the items to be delivered to the affected villages, pack them (really pack them physically, with colored blocks to represent the different items), and plan the route for the air delivery of these products.
A whole range of tests and group works from 9 am to 4.30 pm really drained me to the core. But it was fun! I really feel that I was my true self throughout the tasks and I was at my highest level of enthusiasm,haha....As a result of being too overstretched, I had a very bad headache right after stepping out of the hotel meeting room, haiz...
Well, right now is just waiting time...I have gone this far...and hopefully all the efforts will bring me to the very final interview!

"The reason for holding the inspection at this timing is because the workers are having their break...Did u realize that u actually pose a health & safety hazard to the construction workers if we were to inspect the water & sanitary pipes at other time?", uttered my senior to me...I burst out laughing at his remark...
