En105A does not provide me to have enough engagement time with me students. There are experience that I enjoy sharing but might not be able to do so during lesson time. Students send me questions and some are indeed interesting and my response to them might also be a valuable lesson to others. With permission, I shall put them up here for those who is interested to read.

- Touch A Heart
- The individual blog is well updated. The group seems to be working hard during the holiday.
- However, note that fund raising project is hard and net proceed to charity should be a large percentage of the revenue. A good idea should achieve the expected 70% of revenue to charity, to ensure a sustainable endeavour.
- Yuniik
- It is interesting to read Royce's response to the commence provided by classmate during the presentation.
- This group seems to be the very few groups that are still active during the holiday. Keep it up.
- Chin Yeow, you need to show your work in the blog. Currently there is nothing that I can read to know what have you been contributing!
- FareValue
- Why is the milestone not published? Please follow instruction found under extra lesson on sharing document with me.
- Project seems to be at a standstill. Only thing worth reading is related to the emergency meeting, where lessons are learned.
- All the individual blogs are lack of info. If you cannot get the business properly executed, at least keep the site properly updated.
- RVCR
- Meeting Minutes lack of detail and poorly updated.
- There is almost no progress as a group or individual! Going on this way, be prepared for at best a "E"!
- School of Discount
- Project seems to start up well. However, personal blog are not updated well. Not much information that I can see to understand who has done what.
- Minutes are well updated and easy to follow.
- T-Loft
- Project seems running well and site well updated (Shuang An, yours not updated). Keep it up!
- I need access to protected document under sponsorship.
- I hope to see at least one more success selling in another University with their unique design produced by T-Loft.
- The Currency
- Seems like 2 months of activities Do you really think that you can be in holiday mood?
- If the online currency sites not up in time, the project is as good as fail.
- Jun Jie & Xin Shuo need to really start the blogging on progress.
- AdPetizer
- No minutes updated at all!
- The blog setup was somewhat disappointing. I cannot tell the date whereby the blog was updated. I need to see the what, how or why together with the where and when. Only then would information really be meaningful.
- Though I'm aware of a small milestone from CCO, I did not see it update here :-(
- As far as the blog site is concern, this team has not achieve nor done much.
| - The Food Shepherd
- Please refer to blogging rule no.9! The next time I have to help make your blog site public, I'll deduct points from all your final grade.
- I need to see projected milestones not just the milestones. Meeting seems to stop after 10 October as I did not see any minutes thereafter! In fact, activities seems to stop thereafter! Is this group still alive?
- Jonathan and Meng Hsien has been blogging. While Rebecca has good start but bad follow through. Ritchie seems to be the only in the group that is activity in updating.
- Bloc
- Very informative blog and minutes well updated. Well done as a team. However, the milestone is not checked off and I'm not sure if work was done!
- Wei Qi and Hans' blog start good and then stop for about 2 months! Should try to blog at least once in 2 weeks.
- J & J did not provide any useful info in their personal blog. If the project is a success, based on your blog, you have no contribution to it.
- Glamz
- This group is going to get into serious trouble if I still do not see an progress. There seems to be a lack of activities for about 2 months! The milestone is there to follow and track progress. If there is a change in direction and hence milestone, it has to be reflected.
- If I still do not see Prashant's blog, I'll reasonably assume that he is not interested in this project.
- StepUp!
- There is a significant gap between the milestone and progress. Every team members are responsible to make sure that as team, progress is track closely and project delivered.
- I seems to have no access to the financial statement. It is the responsibility of everyone in the group to ensure that I have access to the shared document. If I cannot see it, I'll assume it is not there at all even if I see a link.
- Richelle's blog is well up to date. Keep it up.
- Kejen, it is not clear from your blog on your role and what have to done or achieved. Need to show your hard work and involvement more.
- Jaspal, either you are too busy working on the project and TOTALLY no time to blog or that you did nothing and nothing to blog. Your progress, or rather lack of progress, will bring down the team. I cannot believe that, with the amount of things to be done, I see an empty blog!

- Close & Class
- Poor update of blog. Yee Yong didn't even start the blog!
- Cannot see much activities for this team. Project seems to start well but very poor follow through.
- More effort needed.
- SCube
- The project seems to progress ok but individual blog lack updating.
- I need to know who do what and when was it done. Please update accordingly.
- Expected milestone is not enough. I need to see if it was delivered according to plan or if there is changes in the expected milestone.
- Kiap!
- This is a team that started very much earlier but doesn't seems to follow through very well. No progress and activities for about 2 months.
- If there are really progress then the updating on the blog clearly didn't reflect that.
- MechWerkz Solutions
- The team seems not able to follow through with the plan very well. Not only that, there was no sign that the team is trying very hard to solve the problem.
- Don't seems to have significant activities by team members.
- The Laprary
- The seems to progress well but sales don't seems to be up to expectation.
- Need more effort in marketing to really push the product.
- Yishu needs to put more effort on his blog.
- CandyCreme
- This team seems to non-sustainable energy! The blog updated very well at the beginning and suddenly stop for about 2 months. No activities, no progress!
- JK BERRY
- Cannot access to the financial info and not sure how your charge your client.
- Activities progressed well over the holiday.
- Jay needs to put in more effort on his blog.
| - My'stic
- Allow me access to you document. If I cannot see it, I'll assume it is not there.
- I need to see date whereby the blog is written. Most of the personal blog don't have date. In fact, all the individual blogs were not well updated or not event written at all (Eugene, you are really in the dark?)!
- Don't seems to have progress for about 2 months.
- Adlive!
- Looking at the blog, I believe that you have good progress.
- Milestone well updated.
- Other than Kai Feng, the rest are doing well on their blog updating.
- metaGenese
- I suggest that you read the blogging rule carefully.
- Not only did the website not provide any useful information to help me assess your performance for EN105A, it goes against the rules that I set. The rules are there for a reason. It is to be followed strictly without compromised.
- Please note that your project cannot be a solely R&D project and produce a working "proof-of-concept" prototype. Even if the prototype is working, you may still fail the project as it does not conform to the requirement of EN105A. I must be able to establish without doubt that you have gone through substantial entrepreneurial endeavour in your pursuit. Currently, I'm totally not convinced.
- Anyway, you have been warned about it and you decided to go ahead and I respect your choice but you must also respect the possible consequence.
- Triohapp
- Milestone well updated and commented when that are changes. Good work on this.
- Why is Joelyn not updating the blog after the exam. Does it means that only Mel and Hailing working on TRIOhapp?
- Looking at the quality of the Triohapp website, I'm worried that the online store will do badly. It seems that flea market can do better than online, which is not the what this project initially planned for.

Entrepreneurs' Guide to Planning, Starting and Running a Business in Singapore
I notice that that some the participants has problem deciding if you need to register a business and how about doing so. Some may even be very concern on legal implications and want to do things right from the start. The best resource I can share will be a 76-page document prepared by SPRING in 2005 to guide Singapore Entrepreneurs. I believe that this will be extremely useful to some of you. The right column gives the table of content of the document.
Hope that you find the resource useful. | Table of Content
