Its a wrap for MIS750!

It's a wrap!

15 November 2015 was our last class for MIS750 with the best lecturer so far in my EMBA journey, Assc. Prof. Dr Norzaidi Daud. 

Thank you Dr Zaidi, for the memorable informative classes with all the joy and less stress :) We do enjoy the classes and all the info delivered were something that really made us think and ponder. 

We live in an era with all the advances technology. Things would never be the same as before...and for us who born in 70's which actually we are in between the baby boomers generation and generation X. Then we will be living with the generation Y and now dealing with the 'Millenials'. I guess, my generation are actually living in both worlds. We experienced all the less technology world before and moving towards advances technology in our life now. And for me, I'm really grateful to having both era in my life! Lucky us who was borned in 70's!!

This blog was created as part of our study in MIS750. Thank you Dr, which actually has got me to actively writing a blog again. Previously, blog is one of the medium that we can share our life experiences with friends and public. But after having facebook, instagram, twitter and other social medias, blog would somehow being left out. Well, may be not to other people, but to me.

Now, I feels that I missed some of the moment in my life which actually I can 'record' it in my blog. Blog is actually like a journal or diary. There's a lot of memorable moment to be shared, but luckily I have my facebook. Now, everything was 'stored' there. Well, now I'm thinking to write again. At least its one of a way to improve my English! Then Zura, time management is important!

Anyway, our last class was actually our final assessment or final exam for the subject, MIS750. After 3 hours of answering the final exam questions, we are having potluck after that. Suka tak? 

Well, this is the first class that we are having male lecturer, first class we really enjoy to come to the class, first class that we are having laughter all the way till the end and first class we are having potluck!

Enjoy the pic!

Before makan-makan :)

Do technology blend with tranquility and serenity?

Sentosa Villa Taiping - Wooden Villa 

Sometimes we need to go somewhere just to find peace and to recharged our mind and body from our daily routine. It doesn't matter whether its a long vacation or a short one, as long as it can make our mind rest and the most important is the quality time that we had with our loved ones. 

Sentosa Villa Taiping was one of the place that I would recommend to all. Located at Bukit Larut, Taiping, Perak, this resort is an awesome place for those who loves nature and like to be in a quite place. Its location is at the strategic place of tourist spots in Taiping. The famous Zoo Taiping , the Taiping lake, the Maxwell Hill and the popular 'yong tau foo' at ' belakang Bomba' are all nearby.

How do we know about the place? Despite of hearing the name from a few friends, with the technology now, everything is at our finger tip. Just google it and you will see from its official site, facebook to all the reviews by various blogs and forums.

And, with the technology also, with one phone call, the booking was done and the deposit was transferred via online banking. So, does technology helps us a lot? Does it blend with the serenity that we want to be? The answer is yes!

Now, is there a problem in navigation to the place? Well. no! We have the google maps and waze as long as you have your internet connection, than it won't be any problem!

A serene and memorable short vacay!

One machine has it all!

When technology knocks the door, there's nothing much we can do, only to open it and invite the technology  to come inside. Technology has made our life much easier compared to those days, where we struggle in doing our job. Technology has improves our quality of life.

Of cause, there will always the pros and cons, but we just focus it on the positive side of it. Technology is all around us. From the mamak restaurant to our office and end at our home, technology is everywhere.

During the old days, our office work are assist by a machine such as a computer, a printer, a scanner and a photocopy machine. In fact before the computer era, we do have typewriter which also has gone through a revolution from the manual to the electronic typewriter. In the office we do need all those devices in doing our work. All of the machine come separately. We do have a problem especially in space and location to put all the devices.

But now, we have one machine that has taken up all the functions. This is what we called innovation! We upgrade what we have now and enhanced the functionality in order to improved our lifestyle.

In my office, we have 2 units of Xerox Multifunction Copier machines that has all functions - printer, scanner, photocopier and faxing.  Its really improved our work, where we centralized the printer for all users. In fact it has a function called 'Secure Print' where the staff can customized their printing document if its confidential with a password and it one can be printed once the staff enter the password at the machine. By centralizing the printer, it can save administration cost in machine maintainance and paper usage.

The scanning function also has make things easier for us. Where all the documents being scanned and direct to our email address. This machine has wifi connectivity where we just retrieve the documents from our email attachment. Some of the scanned need to be emailed, so we just forward the documents via email and save a copy into our desktop. 

The color touch screen panel

The other best thing is the color touch screen interface where we can choose any function in one touch and it easy. This machine also equipped with 4  paper trays – universal for both A3 and A4 paper and has duplex automatic document feeder (DADF).

Password as part of security control

The machine can be set up with a password. This password is one of the security and controlling measure. It also has a save energy button. It will go to sleep if more than 1 hour without using. Source from Xerox.com page, technically there is Hard Drive: 160 GB, Processor: 1.2 GHz Dual-core, Memory: 2 GB system plus 1 GB page memory in the machine. This is all to cater the data storage for the machine. 

This is the best multi function machine for copying, printing and scanning. It has enhanced our quality of work and save our time and cost. 

Well, what can we say...technology will be important part or companion in our life now! So, just let them in.. ;)
