FORUM 1 A lot of people do not understand why Interior Design take more than 3.5years to complete degree. It is a long journey for us, who taking diploma and degree for total 5 years. Most of the people might think that Interior design is just design a space with painting, sofa, lighting...etc in my opinion, decoration and designing a space having big differences as interior designer play a role to design the movement for the users, not only finishing the floor, wall and ceiling. Material chosen for specific users or specific space is one of the professional skill that Interior Designer can be provide to client as we studied UBBL by laws. To be a registered Interior Designer is not easy for everyone. The journey takes fews years to take working experience and exam. The qualities control of IDr. is to ensure that, every registered Interior Designer, and company provide good design, while safety issue is considered too.
FORUM 2 The core ideas of UNSDGs are relatively important like to close up the poverty gap between human and achieve average prosperity while making sure gender equality is meet up. Not only relying upon men but the women having the same ability to live a better living. Majority of the man workers on site in construction field, proposing that the issue of gender equal is important to female designers, architects and even engineers. It is important to have sufficient respect within the person in charge, without minding about gender. Next, we know that interior design and architecture fields are normal to have overloaded jobs. Its actually impact our body health and human right which have been voice out in UNSDG principle 1 (No poverty) and 3(good health and well being). This phenomena is even serious in Asian countries. Protecting every employee to avoid over stressful life , is a way to ensure good quality of works and design too. As a interior design student , work life balance is the things that we can do at this moment. In future , as employee in interior designer , or a owner of an interior company, I would ensure the project and timeline is reasonable at the same time to protect benefit of the employee if there is period of over time working.
FORUM 3 Fire safety of a building is a very important issue that we have to be focus on, not only architects, designers but also public users. Fire happened unexpectedly, the common indicator like Exit in green to lead users out from the building, the alarms, sprinkles in the space are all preparation for fire safety to reduce the loss of life in a fire. It is a time and fire competition. Designers works to slow the fire from spreading crazily by the knowledge of choice of material for walls, doors and so on. Staircase size for escaping have the several size to follow according to the building size and function too. Designers should know to the UBBL laws on fire safety and apply it into building design to ensure the safety of users. At the same time, public should know the basic knowledge of fire safety to protect themselves in a fire.

F I N A N C I A L L I T E R A C Y F O R F R E S H G R A D UAT E S We know that many fresh graduates frequently struggle with the question of "How can I possibly save when my gaji (salary) is so tiny."As a fresh graduate student, keep in mind that what we do with our money matters more than how much we make. Start young and work to accumulate our emergency savings within the first year of employment since it is one of the most essential resources we will ever need. our obligations are light at the moment, so we can afford to increase your savings contributions. The emergency fund helps us be ready for any financial setbacks or unanticipated events that could need spending a bit more than normal, such as a dental procedure or busted tyres, for example. Financial Literacy for fresh graduates is important to plant the mindset early so that we make it our habit. The importance of the way to manage money after working was conveyed as we are financially independent from our parents since we have our own job and life. In my opinion, the knowledge we have to learn after graduation is not only to work and earn, but managing our finances and life is an important life skill for us to have a better life.

ENHANCING YOUR BUSINESS ACUMEN THROUGH C R E AT I V E A R T S Business acumen is important as a good base before starting a business. A successful business is not easy to hit as the fields are competitive especially in a big city like Kuala Lumpur.As a new business man or fresh graduate who wants to build our own business may be creative, but we also can't forget that we're operating a business that needs to turn a profit. There,we will strike a nice balance within business by our creativity.From the webinar, we know that as a team leader we should have some business sense. Employees are unlikely to feel empowered otherwise. A leader lacks the required resources to aid in advancing the company in a positive manner without insight.A person with business sense is aware of how their activities impact the company they work for in a range of circumstances. We are prepared to handle a problem appropriately because we possess the emotional intelligence to recognise how team members are feeling about it.One type of self-awareness is this. Without any self-awareness to begin with, it is challenging to comprehend how the activities affect a company and our job.Enhancing our business acumen have many ways to achieve, creative arts might be one of the effective ways too. Therefore we should explore creative directions as innovation is always needed in the market.

Due to the unpredictability of running a business, an entrepreneur may stay ready by meticulously monitoring a budget. Entrepreneurs may find it helpful to adapt their budgets by determining which costs are essential in order to better plan for changes.

“EXPLORING FURTHERING STUDIES” BY UNIVERSIT Y OF OXFORD After graduation, some of the students will step into society and work, some might want to continue studying. There are more than 60% of my university classmates, friends ,studying or planning to study for a master's degree. In their opinion, they are lost after study, plus the working environment is stressful, especially in Asia.Furthering study might be a kind of escape from hustle and bustle working life,but also a way to engage more knowledge, a way to improve or perspective of life. Continuing education will always be beneficial on a personal and professional level. This stops us from falling behind on the steady stream of business changes and maintains our skill set relevant, employable, and appealing to employers.While further study has its fair share of practical advantages, it also gives people intellectual and emotional satisfaction.By deciding to continue our education, we can study a subject that interests and gain the skills necessary to pursue the career of your choosing.Gaining expertise in a field you enjoy helps us be happier and more engaged in what we do.
