< train disruptions between jurong east to clementi>on my exam weekend !! -_-

sweet jie & pumpkin offered to sponsor cab fare !

hop onto the taxi:

‘uncle, i want to go tiong bahru’s plaza. you know the school behind tiong bahru plaza?’
‘PSB.’

impressed. not alot the taxi uncles know abt my school.

uncle: xiao mei, which school is better? PSB. MDIS or SIM?
me: hmmm. that depends. i choose PSB coz of the location and course duration, 18mths as compare to SIM 3 years.

uncle: so, what do u study?
me: supply chain mgmt.

uncle: what’s that?

uhh-oh. how do i explain SCM to a stranger?

me: ‘erm. supply chain mgmt, deals with warehouse…

uncle interrupted me ‘you work in a warehouse eh? aiyo. a girl like you work at the warehouse!’
me: i dont work in the warehouse. SCM is not abt working at w/h. we learn abt freight..
uncle: warehouse lor. wah, u deliver goods also. warehouse, not good. alot of men. u gotta deal with them.
me: NO ! i am.. in charge of warehouse. and the guys are okie..

silence.

uncle: like no future. still do warehouse only. plus, u gotta deal with lotsa men.
me: no, if u stay in this line, you could be.. in charge of many.. warehouses. ( funny!)

uncle: xiao mei, u shld change ur job. not good staying at warehouse. gotta deal with men. and only warehouse.

i rest my case. took out my notes and started reading.

hahahaa ! quite funny. explaining SCM.

wiki SCM.
‘Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers (Harland, 1996).^[1] Supply Chain Management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption (supply chain).’

can someone please translate all of the above into mandarin? thank you.
