Week 7 – Presentation Week & Final Report Submission

 This week was an important milestone as we wrapped up our digital strategy project through our final presentation and report submission. It was also our last class for the semester, marking the end of our journey in this subject.

Class started later than usual, which gave everyone a bit of breathing space to do last-minute touch-ups. Our group was originally scheduled to present first, but we allowed two other groups to go ahead of us. This actually worked to our advantage, as it gave us extra time to observe their delivery styles and make any final mental notes.

When it was finally our turn, we presented confidently and smoothly. Each group member spoke clearly, stayed within their time, and explained their part of the project effectively. We were satisfied with how the presentation turned out, and the positive feedback from the lecturer was a great way to close this chapter.

Apart from the presentation, we also submitted our final written report. We had worked hard to ensure it was complete, well-organized, and aligned with the assignment requirements. Submitting the report felt like a huge relief and a proud moment after weeks of planning, execution, and collaboration.

The next day, the remaining groups continued with their presentations. Since it was our last class, there was also a sense of accomplishment and closure as we reflected on everything we had learned and achieved throughout the semester.

What Was Interesting

Seeing all groups present their unique ideas and strategies was very interesting. It was also satisfying to watch our own group’s effort come to life through a polished presentation and a completed report. There was a real sense of achievement after handing in the report and presenting our work successfully.

What Was Difficult

The main challenge was managing pre-presentation nerves and ensuring everyone was fully prepared. Coordinating the final edits of the report alongside preparing for the presentation was also quite demanding. However, with good teamwork and communication, we managed to complete everything on time and to a high standard.

How I Can Apply This

This week reinforced the importance of being organized and adaptable, especially when deadlines and presentations happen at the same time. I also learned the value of supporting each other as a team and staying calm under pressure. These are essential skills that will benefit me not only in academic projects but also in future work environments, especially in digital business contexts where collaboration and communication are key.

Week 6 – Wrapping Up Our Report and Getting Ready for the Presentation

This week, we had two days of class, but the lecturer gave us extra time to focus on completing our assignment. My group and I used this opportunity to finalize our project report. We divided the remaining tasks and made sure everything was well-organized and coherent.

Besides group work, I concentrated on completing my part of the case study. It was rewarding to apply the concepts we’ve learned so far into a practical analysis.

Week 4 and 5- Self-Study & Independent Learning

 

Week 4 Blog Post – Self-Study & Independent Learning

This week marked the start of our self-study period, where I had to manage my own learning without attending class. I focused on studying three chapters that cover essential digital business strategies and concepts.

I also began working on the case studies assigned earlier. Without immediate access to the lecturer, I had to rely on my notes, online resources, and discussions with my group members to deepen my understanding.

What was interesting:
I found that self-study allowed me to go at my own pace and revisit topics I found challenging. The case studies helped me see how businesses apply digital tools in real situations.

What was difficult:
Staying disciplined and motivated without a structured class schedule was tough. Sometimes, clarifying complex topics without direct guidance was challenging.

How I can apply this:
Learning to study independently is a valuable skill for my academic and professional future. Collaborating online with my group also prepared me for remote teamwork in today’s digital work environment.

 Week 5 Blog Post – Continuing Self-Study & Group Collaboration

In Week 5, I continued with my self-study of the digital business chapters and case studies. I made it a point to organize my study schedule better and set daily goals to keep myself on track.

Additionally, my group and I increased our communication, sharing ideas and progress through online chats and video calls. This helped clarify difficult concepts and allowed us to prepare our project more effectively.

What was interesting:
I appreciated how digital tools enable remote collaboration, which makes working together flexible despite different schedules.

What was difficult:
Balancing self-study and group coordination required good time management. Occasionally, differing opinions in the group meant we had to compromise and communicate clearly.

How I can apply this:
The skills I’m developing in independent learning and remote teamwork are crucial in today’s digital work culture. I’m gaining confidence in managing projects with less supervision.

Week 3 – Starting Our Group Project While Battling Illness

This week was quite eventful and challenging for me. While my group officially started our project—holding our first meeting to plan, divide tasks, and set deadlines—I was unfortunately down with a high fever.

Balancing my health and responsibilities was tough. I tried to keep up with group discussions online and reviewed the case studies we were assigned for the upcoming self-study weeks.

What was interesting:
Despite feeling unwell, participating in the group meeting motivated me and reminded me of the importance of teamwork.

What was difficult:
Managing my health while trying to contribute was challenging, but my team was understanding and supportive.

Week 2 – Getting to Know the Course & Tackling a Case Study

 Week 2, our lecturer gave us a detailed introduction to the course, explaining key concepts in digital business strategies and what to expect in the coming weeks. It helped me understand the big picture — how businesses are evolving by integrating digital tools into their operations and marketing.

After class, we were assigned a case study to work on. This case study requires us to analyze a business’s digital strategy and suggest improvements. It’s exciting but also a bit challenging because I need to apply theory to a real-world scenario.

What was interesting:
Seeing how digital transformation affects not just marketing, but also customer experience and operations.

What was difficult:
Figuring out where to start with the case study — it feels broad, and I want to make sure I analyze it properly.

How I can apply this:
This case study is a great chance to practice critical thinking and apply digital business concepts, which will be useful in future projects or real business situations.

Week 1 – Catching Up and Getting Started

I missed the first class of the semester, so my journey into this subject started a little later than planned. I made sure to ask my classmates about what I had missed and reviewed the course materials uploaded by our lecturer. Even though I wasn’t physically present, I was curious and excited about what we would learn in Digital Business Strategies.

In the following class, we learned about digital marketing — how businesses use platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Shopee, to attract and engage customers. I also met my group members for the first time and we had our first team meeting, which helped me feel more connected and prepared for the coming weeks.

What was interesting:
Learning how businesses use social media and data to target customers more effectively.

What was difficult:
At first, I wasn’t sure how digital business was different from traditional e-commerce, but after discussing with my group, I started to understand.

Real-world application:
Even small businesses today use TikTok and Shopee to boost sales. I could apply these tools if I help a friend run a small online store or even start one myself.

 Festival Warisan Sarawak

                                                                

It was so much fun to dance during the Festival Warisan Sarawak! We practiced for weeks, mastering every move of a vibrant, enjoyable traditional dance; it was all about joy and energy, unlike the fierce warrior dances. Laughs, blunders, and honing the motions were all part of the rehearsal process, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Backstage was alive with anticipation on the big day. We were prepared to take the stage, decked out in vibrant costumes. All of my nerves vanished as soon as the music began. We gave it our all as the rhythm took over and we danced. The audience cheered and applauded enthusiastically. There were lots of smiles, energy, and spontaneity, and it was just plain fun.

The thrill of performing at the festival will never be forgotten. From rehearsal to performance, the main goals were to have fun, celebrate culture, and spread a small portion of Sarawak's happiness to the rest of the world!
