WEEK 7

During the lecture class in Week 7, we were exposed to a new word, 'ARPANET'. So, what is the exact definition of 'ARPANET'? Basically, it is defined as the network which serves as basis for Internet. Back in 1967, the first concept derived had kick-started the development of 'ARPANET' under the direction of U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). And with the initial purpose of providing convenience for users to communicate with and share computer resources, it was then upgraded to higher level from time to time. 

Next, E-commerce which is the trend nowadays had been introduced in class too. The most common E-commerce examples that we encounter in our daily life include Amazon, eBay and so on. With these, shopping without stepping out of our house is no longer a dream. (But frankly speaking, we are so into online shopping :))

As usual, we had a short reporting session on our CIP Progress in lab hours. For our group, we had done the website draft and we were told to invite the restaurant owner to attend to the website presentation. Feeling little nervous and excited at the same time! :D

On top of that, we learnt how to analyze websites. Few extensions are first needed to be added in order to work that out. After the class, I think all of us had mastered simple things like checking the websites' rank and IP address.

To summarize Week 7, it was indeed a busy week. Time flies in blink of an eye, half of the semester had gone. And for the remaining seven weeks, I believe that my life will be tougher. Anyway, stay strong and keep going <3

Last but not least, convocation season is now back!! Happy graduation to all the graduates. Hopefully the traffic in UPM will not be too heavy this year :))

WEEK 9

Our FSM4401 class is on every Wednesday from 10-12pm (tutorial) and 2-5pm (lab). While there was some exception for this week class, as our class had been replaced by websites presentation, CIP-UPM , which means that we had whole day presentation the past Wednesday. The presentation was conducted in one of the meeting rooms at Food 5. It was a brand new experience for us since that was the first time we gave presentation in such meeting room (presentation is usually conducted in classroom ). Everything was fine. Each group was given one hour time to setup, present with Q&A session. During the presentation, we talked on SWOT analysis of WaffleWaffle! At Bkt Serdang and also had an brief explanation on the websites we designed for them. I was the one who start the presentation on that day. A bit regret to say that I was not so in condition while our group was presenting. Kind of blur. Anyhow, it is done and let's improve next time. I have a bunch of lovely teammates. F...

WEEK 14

This week will be the very last week for my semester 6. Today, for FSM4401, we learnt supply chain management (SCM). From that, I get to know that the elements in supply chain can be categorized into upstream and downstream. Orders, information, payments and returns are of upstream while products, services and information are grouped under downstream. Vertical integration is introduced by Dr in class. It has few definition but here, in terms of management and business, it is said as by combining all the suppliers, work can be done effectively. On the other word, it is said to be strategy applied to control all the suppliers, thereby targeted outcome can be achieved easier. Then, we were told that there are total 3 flows in supply chain, known as material flows, information flows and financial flows. These are of the key components as supply chain will not be able to work or function without any of the flow. Our class is continued with the importance of building up a well-s...

We were exposed to 'Blockchain' before our class started today. So, what is Blockchain? "Blockchain is the world's leading software platform for digital assets. Offering the largest production block chain platform in the world, new technology is used and incorporated to build a radically better financial system." While Bitcoin is one of the important components when comes to talk on Blockchain. Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system. It is called the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or single administrator. However, all this while, this system is only being implemented in foreign countries. Recently, Malaysia is trying to bring in and work on Blockchain. It is said to be will bring convenience to all the industries, thereby contributing to country's economic growth. As Bitcoin which acts as money in virtual form will increase the effectiveness in terms of financial...
