We just want to take your temperature

Look at this video blog. He talked about how China treat possible swine flu.
0.5 degree Celsius higher than average body temperature = doctor in bio-hazard suit and ambulance

It's a swine flu!......Not

My family, except me, along with my uncle's family are currently on vacation in China. Yesterday, my aunt got caught in the rain and came with a flu. The gang went to a hospital to get her a medicine.

Well, and everything went pretty serious. Doctors, in bio-hazard suits, were called to check their temperature, and there were police outside the hospital preventing them from leaving.

Yeah, I got a text message from my mum at 2 am last night. Not something to know when you are about to go to sleep.

But anyway, everything's clear now and they were let go. Guess China has learned its lesson from its past mistake in keeping SARS from the outside world which is why it spread rapidly to other countries. Yup, that was the time of panic, uncertainty and distrust. Well, that applies to now too.

Beware of swine flu guys!

Princeton University

Since it's boring to just stay in hotel, I went to tour around Princeton Univ with couple of my friends. Also wanted to visit Albert Einstein's former home...but apparently I wrote the address wrongly..and spent sometime loitering around...luckily no one called the cops

here are some of the pics i took


Business Process Experience

Throughout the training, we covered many activities. I'll list the notable takeaway from the training.

Day 1, the topic is on order to cash. In 1 of the activities, we have to act a role as an audit/consultant who are going to interview a tough and annoyed client by asking him relevant question to address some issue. The facilitator actually played his role really well (he should be an actor!) Despite being a small voice in the group, I've managed to uncover the biggest issue, fraud. It was kinda interesting as we uncovered more red-flags, our discussion get pretty aggressive and was noted as "annoying".

Day 2, Inventory and Production management, we have an interesting activity in overseeing the whole operation with LEGO. First, we have to decide on the # of LEGO cars that we will produce within 10 mins & received the raw materials, with consideration of storing cost (penalty), raw material cost and etc. Throughout the production, we were stopped twice to pick cards that showed how external events can affect the process. In the end, we managed to build the 2nd most cars (8 completed and 2 WIP, but won the competition as we got lucky from the cards ($$), and we managed to work on all the raw materials and incurred the less storing cost.

Day 3-4, we were told that we have to implement all we have learned and addressed the issue given in a 10 mins presentation. We have to came out with a business proposal and try to sell it to a real PARTNER. It was pretty intimidating, but I think we did well, mainly because someone from my team really KICKED ASS. Given that he's only 2nd year and that knowledgeable, really makes me feel awed on some of the talented professionals in our firm.
