Study = BORED? - General Study Tips 1

“I have 3 exams next week. But I feel somehow too bored to study atm, i read 20 pages, think about what i read, and i notice i dont remember anything. I keep thinking about other things. I wish to know ways for boosting my reading ability. ”
Michael Lee, 20.

“I found not enough time in class for enquiries. My teacher always busy for marking or some other questions discussion that I have already understood them but others still in doubt.”
Chia Hua, 16.

Most of students now in Malaysia, found that they can’t really concentrate in study. They blame that there are many distractions around them – internet; movies; songs; even friends.
Teachers realized that they don’t have enough time for guiding everyone of their students, sometimes they may neglect the one or two of them in class, and even more!

How? How? Why? Why? Always come to their mind.

In general, there are many STUDY SKILLS.

The PQRST method

Criteria to get a great outcome from this:

1. GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT have to be in students
2. Must be a WELL STRUCTURED student
3. GREAT SELF-DISCIPLINE student

WE MADE IT! Final Pitch=)

DREAMZLAND was in!
I guess, this was a blessed, really.
Still cannot really believe on it, we are in TOP 6 now…
Our dream was just kick-started when the time result was announced during the Judging Session.
We are now nearer to the real business, aren’t we?

Thanks for friends who are there, Taylor University’s Lakeside Campus for supporting us.
Again, it meant a lot to us. =)

Part of the celebration, we actually received many comments from the judges,
First from Brandon, he said we did improve, but still not the best of us. There are much things to improve on, especially the financial and also the marketing part that we have.
Then of course, from our supporters, basically they mentioned that we have to be more details in things that we presented, it seems many things still not great enough. =(

All these are spaces from us to improve next will be lot s of meet up to improve our idea!
Wish that we can give a big change to education nowadays!

Thanks a lot for being there =)

It was Fabulous!
We are team 8, which need to present at the second session @ 2pm, kind of nervous as we arrived in the morning at 10am!
We able to feel the intense in the early morning, it was just so scary.

Well, Raymond and QI Hong will be prepared to answer the questions from the judges; they are neither in a great condition. =) Ha-ha.

2 minutes, was just too short for us!!
When we on stage, with flash and video, everything that just too fast, before we get use to the stage, TIME’S UP!
Judges, neither one of them be nice to us, Mr. Michael Reyes asked us a lot-How to you differentiate with others? Can you use 8 words to describe your business?
We did not answer the questions perfectly. =(
It stunned us and made us did lot of critical thinking afterwards.

Meeting Up with our Mentor

During preparation of our Executive Summary, we are lucky in meeting up with our mentor, Mr Tony Looi Chee Hong, the Chairman of Ban Lee Hin Group who is the directors of many companies under Ban Lee Hin Group.

He guided us in our business ideas and adds in more interesting information with us throughout the discussion.

Besides, he also shared with us his experiences in being a successful entrepreneur and ways for us to grab more opportunities in life. He also encourages us to participate more in this type of activities to let us gain experiences.

He mentioned that this can be our strong weapon in the coming years.

At last, he found our business idea was interesting! He supports us with actions! He signing up a letter of intention to become our mentor along the ways if we manage to get through YES 2J

Below are pictures taken on that day:

We did meet up some seniors in our university for their guidance about our “Business Idea”, especially senior – Wynlyn Chia, she guided us a lot through out the process, especially in how to present it in our executive summary.


At last, we managed to overcome the minor obstacles, we ended up with a business called









And we noticed ourselves as DreamzBuilders, interested in our ideas?
