Items discussed/done: Clarification with Haris about our program line-ups, brochures, posters and invitations cards. All of which are ready to be presented to the operations manager.

Reflections
Once again, in the wee hours of the night.
As we are representing republic Polytechnic, team felt it was best to inform advisors on what we were doing. we got both down, Haris and Carol to discuss and inform them about our progress.

Apologies to advisors, whom have to sacrifice some hours of their sleep, to further advise us on our project. As there were many hiccups due to communication breakdown between us and the center, our project could not move forward. With that, we only managed to get back on track today, thus only could finish our timeline and event details late in the night.

After finishing the collaterals design, we got the advisors down to take a look. Being in the industry for long, we think that they will be able to provide us excellent advice on how to improve. Once again, I emphasize that we seriously lack of time, and cannot afford rejections by the centre manager, Yuko-san to redo.

Reflections
Team slept really late last night, but that does not stop us from waking up early for breakfast and continue working on our project.

We have finished the invitation cards last night, but couldn't finish the brochure, thus we took the opportunity to come out with the brochure details and finalize detail and content. As guests from the hospitality industry will come, plus we got the website team, we got the time to confirm the centre details with the other cambodia teams, as we want to standardize the information given out to the public.

From our advisors, we got to know that the center has finally allowed us to use the place for the industry event, thus making us going back to square one, and start our layout designs for the place. I thought we were quite fortunate to get a nod to use the place, as time was really running out. I wonder where can we hold it, if the centre does not allow us for the usage of the place.

With that, the team continued to plan our logistics and operations and fringe event flows on the industry event day.

Reflections

In the middle of the night, the team have got together once again, to confirm the job scopes of one another for the next day.

Since it late in the night, i am seriously sleeping. I felt that any moment I would doze off. The fact that all of the other teams are sleeping soundly isn't helping right now. However, as the team is too worried on the progress of the event, we forced ourselves to be awake, further discussing about the details of the invitation cards and proof-reading them, as we will be printing them soon.

As our clients, involves the japanese ladies, Yuko-san, she is rather strict in the branding and the image the collaterals are potraying about the centre, thus we took more time to finalise our designs and content, as we have not much time to redo it for her.
