Easy On the MULLAHH !!

Lately my friends and I have been spending a lot of money on Food and dinning in restaurants... and this business has to end.


I don’t think it’s healthy at all but I blame the college for that, they have good food but it gets boring after a while... I blame the long hours in class, and I blame myself and my friends for turning us into such eating outside obsessed monsters.

But we have decided to put a stop to that and try our best to just stick to what the college has to offer or wait till you get home!!
Don’t waste money on a daily basis on dining outside !!

Dubai Metro : )

Guess what Readers !!


I have finally had a chance to get on the Dubai metro with my friends; we have been planning for this day, for quite a long time now... it was a nice and an enjoyable experience...
We parked our car at the Rashidya station and went on till MOE .. Once we got there we decided to change out destination and went all the way to Nakheel Harbour Port station. We took a taxi to JBR, we were hoping to get on the bus, but no busses were going that direction.
The weather was lovely and wished we could stay till later on.

It wouldn’t be a Great outing if I and my best friend hadn’t went head to head with each other as usual and this time it was over the tickets !! which I thought was better than our other stupid little arguments we had in the past. Once we got over that, it was cute seeing my friend getting excited and rushing to get into the train thinking it was going to leave us behind.

The train was nice; we liked the regular seating area then the female and children cabinet which felt like JAIL!! .It was nice to look at Dubai from a different perspective and view which made me realize how blessed I am to be here, and hopefully this metro idea could extend to other emirates in the UAE or maybe even the neighboring Gulf countries .

I cant seem to find my cameras wire, so that I can upload  few pictures , maybe sometime later.

HOT Minute ..

This whole Mobile issue with students at the college is somehow resolved... Basically students are allowed to use their mobile phone more often as how it used to be... I bet many students are happy about this one!!
It took them a HOT Minute to get to this stage...But I must say there is hope for us and coming students to the college lol [I joke, i joke]
THIS DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULDNT BE CAREFULL, SECURITIES ARE EVERYWHERE
I Love DWC : )

Time Management is in NEED

hmmm .. well this a bad habit that i am starting and gaining these days !! I tend to leave my work till last minute which is BADDD , am not usually like this but ever since we got back from our first break at the college this year, i keep delaying my work at home and college .. am not syaing i like this pattern but i tend to get my work done on time !!

So i decided to google some few good tips and might use some of them in my own life

1. Make a plan. It’s never too early to start figuring out how you’ll do all the work in each of your five classes. In fact, the very first day of classes is the right time. Enter all the assignments—including weekly assignments, quizzes, and exercises or short papers—into your electronic or print calendar. Then develop a plan for both your run-of-the-mill weekly studying and the monde research paper or killer final.


2. Learn to say NO. For example, an acquaintance of yours would like you to see a movie with him tonight. You made social plans for tomorrow with your friends and tonight you were going to study and do laundry. You really are not interested. You want to say no, but you hate turning people down. Politely saying no should become a habit. Saying no frees up time for the things that are most important.

(one of my issues), I cant seem to say NO and it bugs me sometimes.

3. Create time management goals. Remember, the focus of time management is actually changing your behaviors, not changing time. A good place to start is by eliminating your personal time-wasters. For one week, for example, set a goal that you’re not going to take personal phone calls while you’re working.

4. Do the most important thing first. Trapani calls this “running a morning dash”. When she sits down to work in the morning, before she checks any email, she spends an hour on the most important thing on her to-do list. This is a great idea because even if you can’t get the whole thing done in an hour, you’ll be much more likely to go back to it once you’ve gotten it started. She points out that this dash works best if you organize the night before so when you sit down to work you already know what your most important task of the day is.

5. Learn to Prioritize. Prioritizing your responsibilities and engagements is very important. Some people do not know how to prioritize and become procrastinators. A “to do list” places items in order of importance. One method is the ABC list. This list is divided into three sections; a, b, or c. The items placed in the A section are those needed to be done that day. The items placed in the B section need completion within the week. The C section items are those things that need to be done within the month. As the B, C items become more pertinent they are bumped up to the A or B list. Try it or come up with your own method, but do it.

6. Admit multitasking is bad.For people who didn’t grow up watching TV, typing out instant messages and doing homework all at the same time, multitasking is deadly. But it decreases everyone’s productivity, no matter who they are. “A 20-year-old is less likely to feel overwhelmed by demands to multitask, but young people still have a loss of productivity from multitasking,” says Trapani.

7. Learn to focus. You’re used to getting your content in 140-character units, in 20-second bursts, or with lots of video to go with it. But college is not Twitter, YouTube, or Hulu. In college, whether in the lecture, the reading, or the problem sets, sustained attention is needed. Learn to focus—without breaks and without additional stimulation—for 15- to 20-minute units. We know it’s hard to reprogram your brain. But doing so will prevent your having to start focusing again—and overcoming your resistance—50 times an hour.

8. Dare to be slow. Remember that a good time manager actually responds to some things more slowly than a bad time manager would. For example, someone who is doing the highest priority task is probably not answering incoming email while they’re doing it.

9. Use time management tools. Whether it’s a Day-Timer or a software program, the first step to physically managing your time is to know where it’s going now and planning how you’re going to spend your time in the future. A software program such as Outlook, for instance, lets you schedule events easily and can be set to remind you of events in advance, making your time management easier.

10. Divide and conquer. Break up larger projects, such as research papers, field studies, and cumulative finals, into manageable chunks. And spread the stages over a reasonable number of days. Always add some extra time above what you think you need, because usually there’s a major crunch or crisis toward the end. It’s better to have a little extra time than to find yourself running around like a madman when your computer crashes at 4 o’clock the morning before a paper is due.

GOOD BREAK GOTTEN SO FAR!!

Got back from a nice long week holiday which I wished it never ended!!
National day was celebrated 2 weeks back although it’s on the 2nd of Dec; at out college we start it off at the green area of DWC... We had sky divers falling of the sky with the colors of the UAE flag... I’ve seen it last year but it always seems to impress me every time the college organizes it, and then went off with my friend around the College looking at some of the activities that was going. The worst thing was I was marked absent and still is, even though I was at the college, I didn’t know that we would need attendance on national day!!! It’s a first!!

As it is... I spent the rest of my break in Oman with my stepdads family in Muscat!! I hate going to Oman but what would I do if my driver isn’t around to drive me where I want to go (My Sister) .. The weather was different and colder than Dubai which was the only thing that I liked most.
On our way to Oman, roads were crowded and full of visitors at the border which would take a lot of time for us to get through luckily we caught up with my stepdad and he went in the office and stamped or passports so we don’t have 2 wait for hours in the queue, benefit of having a royal family memberJ.. We planned to stay there for 2 days, but we ended up a week there because of the sightseeing BBq’s and trips we had my mom was furious and always called us to come back the next day which we didnt do cause my sister didn’t feel like driving back. Till the week has come to an end and she realized that we have something called LIFE that we have to go back to that includes a lot of COLLEGE WORK AND ASSISGNMENT >_<

A Good Place to Work !!

Magid Al Futtaim (MAF) Dalkia is an interesting place to work. My friend and i had a chance to visit the company that is located in City Centre. we had an interview with the HR Manger. its a joint corporate company with 70 years of experience.

Since i worked at a retail store for Majid al Futtaim 2 years back, i have a good idea of what they have to offer. I liked most was what they have to offer to their employees to make sure that they are entertained and don't get bored at all times. Its a friendly environment in the company with many different departments.

The new two departments i came to find out about was:
•Quality, Health & Safety Department, which emphasises on the importance of health and safety off and on the sites they work at and making sure that they are provided with good quality of equipments and machinery
•Sustainable Energy Management Department, which basically deals making sure that energy are used efficiently and not to waste.
I liked the fact that the company was open to talk to us about some if the issues that they have faced and that no layoffs have been taken part during the recession and they are still recruiting.

Intergrated Promotional Plan

Its been a while since i last blogged, i have been really busy with college tasks and assignments that are due one week after the other.

I got my latest assignment to do, which my team and i need to work on a promotional plan for a business organization of our choice. I thought that this was exciting, because we get to be creative and use other skills than what we usually do for any other assignments,we haven't decided on what company to plan for, but most likely is our client of Arabian Centre that we have done work for. we should consider 5 promotional techniques that we thing could be most effective and appropriate.
