Today, I have appointment for my braces adjustment..It was so painfull..First, I felt drilling on my gums..Ouch..That was pain..After that, I was allowed to guggle my mouth..To my surprise, instead off spitting colourless water out, the water was in brownish red colour..That is why I felt the pain..So if there is blood, it means that there is a wound on my gum..Later, bracket was fixed to my wound..No way!..On my wound?..You must be kidding..It was triple the pain I felt just now..Other than having the bracket pressed into my gum (the place where I have my wound), I have to bite hardly on it so that it goes deeper inside..What a day..

1. Choose ONE corporate portal and describe its nature of business AND different types of companies that collaborate with the chosen company portal earlier in the e-supply chain management system.

The corporate portal that I have chosen is FedEx. FedEx is a leading logistics services company based in the United States. FedEx is an abbreviation of the company’s original name, Federal Express. The company was founded by Fred Smith in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1971 as Federal Express. The name, Federal Express was chosen to symbolize a national marketplace. However, the name, Federal Express was replaced by a new name in 2000 which is now still known as FedEx. The tagline for FedEx is “The World on Time”.

FedEx is a worldwide network of companies that provide customers and businesses the flexibility and specialized services. Both of these contributions represent the transportation, wide selection of supply chain, business services and e-commerce. Other than just being a worldwide network of companies, FedEx also plays a part of transportation powerhouse FedEx Corporation. Besides that, FedEx offers business applications through its operating companies under the FedEx brand.

One of the companies which collaborate with FedEx is United States Postal Services (USPS). Both of these companies realized that there was an opputunity for them to gain from mail transportation agreement between both of them. This is because FedEx has available capacity that could fill with USPS mail to improve utilization and also to better leverage the network. Furthermore, USPS contract with FedEx offers improvement in visibility and service while providing reduction in cost. The result from the agrreement is successful and it is a win-win situation for both parties. Thus, this successful agreement allows a continual process that will provide benefits for years to come. 

The second company FedEx works in partnership is LEUCO Tool Corp. As FedEx is one of the global market leaders in logistics business for 30 years, it guarantees safe, confidential and fast shipment. By using the FedEx Return Manager, LEUCO is able to offer its customers an easy paperless system for replacement or service.

In addition, with FedEx’s ToolTracker, LEUCO’s customers can know where is their shipment located at the moment by just typing in the tracking number.

To all bloggers,
By reading the title above, I am sure you all have them in your life..Don’t you? Whether they are close or not to you it’s another thing..Sometimes, I wonder if is it true that some people really do not have any friends at all..It’s hard to believe though..

For me..I am glad and lucky to have friends who cares for each other..Its hard to find friends who kindly offers you a place to wait for your transport, friends who will explain to you when you are not sure of  something, friend who offers transportation when there are outings, friend who share concert ticket, friend who offer the house for barbeque activity, friends who cheer the whole class up (well..erm..for this, it depends on the time whether it is suitable/not) and many more..

I can’t find any other better words to express my gratefulness to them other than a big 

These friend are all difficult to find..In this world, there are not many frineds like them left anymore..So, appreciate your friends for as long as you live..

Good day everyone..

I was so lucky to be able to attend the Backstreet Boys(BSB) concert..It was a last minute..And the best of all, the ticket was a VIP ticket..Can you believe that? From the VIP area, all I can see when I look back was the whole area was covered with thousands of BSB fans..Try to imagine that..Anyway..The perfomance was entertaining and enjoyable..From single performance to group performance, rock to ballad, and from old to new songs..Two thums up..

When the concert had end, everyone started to head to the exit area using the escalators..Thousands of people are using the escalators together..At first, everything went well..Suddenly, the second escalator starts to reverse, so did all the people on it..To add salt to the wound, the first escalator carrying people are coming up..Everyone got panic..One escalator was moving downward and the other is moving upwards..What is happenig here?? People who are between the two escalators are totally sandwich..Then when the right escalators are back to normal, the left escalator came out with the same problem..Owh no..Panic starts to attack everyone again..At that moment..The only thing that came to all of our mind was – Why cant the employees stop all the escalators and just let us walk up.. It is much safer… 

 Well..Anyway..At least no one is seriously injured..
