KPMG Visit September 2009

Organised on Friday the 18th September, the KPMG visit was warmly appreciated by all of us. We departed from the Sunway University College's foyer at 13:30 and had a smooth drive to the company site where we were sweetly welcomed by Nancy, our hostess.

After temperature checks, we proceeded to one of the biggest and most distinguished meeting rooms. The table was neatly set for us, with pens, brochures and papers to jot down notes.

We build careers at KPMG..Indeed they do! Their staffs are living proofs...
Mr Siew, the KPMG Advisory Partner delivering his presentation to us about their working culture...

To be noted, there Mr Siew made us at ease, we felt free to ask him any question which he answered in a detailed manner, providing us with as much clarifications as possible.

After that, we had a tea break. We adjourned to a cosy area to have refeshments and pastries. Here again, we had the opportunity to have little chats with some other staffs.

Girls you rock!!!! Absolutely Perfect!!!! And the best pose goes to Lili!!!!!

We were then teamed up in groups of four for the office tour. As follows are some snaps taken of the offices.

As seen from the picture, the training classes are colourful for the purpose of creating a joyful atmosphere conducive to learning.

Once the visit over, the guides and Nancy accompanied us down. Shortly after, we boarded the bus back again to Sunway.

Food Sales Fund Raising

The club held a food sales for two days, namely, on the 24th and 25th of August in the cafetaria. We had decided to sell egg sandwiches, hotdogs and cupcakes as well as mineral water and cokes, as part of our combo set.

Ready to start the sales!

Freshly set up booth ...









No wonder due preparations were required beforehand. We had meetings almost every week to decide upon the event. We all pooled our ideas together to come up with a satisfactory plan. Of course, we kept on brushing up the initial draft and made occasional amendments, in pursuit of an excellent plan for the food sales.


Next, each one of us was delegated our tasks. Being the organiser, I should highlight that some of us contributed beautifully in setting up the event. It was so fun. We had to check the prices at the grocery store, make a budget, waking up early to get prepare the food and set up the booth, amongst others.
Jenny and Mariam hard at work in realising the booth ....

Indubitably, it was an enriching experience for all of us. It empowered us with lots of organising skills such as doing the budget is a good application of our accounting knowledge! Besides, setting an attracting booth, displaying the food neatly, as well as serve the customers politely were marketing strategies that had to be applied in an attempt to lure customers. As had put it Ms Greeja upon supporting our sales, " You learn" while doing this event.

Mariam's yummy home-made cupcakes are real treats for the eyes!!!

Eggs Sandwiches!

Thank you to all those who supported us....A special thanks to all committee members who have dilligently pulled in their share of weight!!! :)
