Trip to Bandung

Finally I went there after experienced so much obstacles, had to leave my wife and daughter in Taiping. My youngest daughter got chicken pox on the eve of departure day, my wife got to cancel the trip and take care the baby. Even I got to depart KLIA one day later and bought new ticket because of passport nearly expired, less than 6 months.

Celebrating 36th birthday

Arrived Jakarta 29th June 2009 approximate at 10.00pm, took a shuttle van(Cipaganti) went to Bandung and cost me IR135,000.00. After 2.5 hours travelling on the highway, the driver drove me straight to my destination Hotel SannyRosa which was not the actual hotel our group stayed in Bandung. It was 2.00am and without my handphone roaming, had to use hotel telephone to locate where the group was.

I then took a taxi and went to Hotel Mitra as informed by my sister Pine, cost me IR30,000.00, its only 5 km away from Sanny Rosa.

On 30th checked out Hotel Mitra and moved to Hotel Billique untill 31st may.

Without my wife and daughter accompany me to Bandung. I still did small shopping at famous tourist spot like Pasar Baru, few factory outlet shop and Diaz (famous with grade A leather goods) in Bandung.

Hard to choose which one you like in Pasar Baru.

Last day spent one night in Hotel Wiltop.Jakarta and visited Mangga Dua on our way to Cangkeriang Airport, Jakarta.

M.Sc. Business Leadership - LOC

It was 29th April 2009 and 5.30pm when I left the ULC in Petaling Jaya, I still remember what Cliff first thing told us how people misunderstood change only "CHANGE lah", thats ironic. I think not too late for myself start compose and post what have I learned from the 3 days course, from there we have to apply the skills and competency at our workplace.

In summarize, I have learned:

5 type of change

i. evolutionary - change is slow and incremental

ii.developmental -change that creates an improvement in an organization's way of doing things

iii.transitional - change that results in the design or implementation of something that is different

iv.drastic - change is immediate and is forced on the organization

v.transformational -change is significant that an organization has to shift its entire way of doing business

The Sigmoid Curve theory; it tells that the secrect to constant growth is to start a new sigmoid curve before the first one fades out, where there are still time, resources and energy at that point


I also learned how to write and define the equation of A+B+C greater than Z

Where,

A - the individual or group level of disatisfy with the status quo
B - a clear and shared future
C- acceptable and "do-able" first action steps
and

Z - the cost of making the change to individuals, groups and org. i.e the resistance level

to be continued..
