1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your role here at D’Jungle People.
I’m Mei Chin, the finance executive in D’Jungle People. I make sure all the accounts for D’Jungle People and the two other sister companies (Travel Tales and KL Scientific) are in order (as much as I can!). As mentioned, I do the accounts for D’Jungle People. I make sure all debtors pay up (!) and suppliers are being paid too. For the Year 2008, I will be assisting in monitoring the budget from various departments.

2. What is on your workplate right now?
Currently handling the accounts for Travel Tales and KL Scientific also. I have to make sure all the transactions have been keyed in, sales forecast for Year 2008, reporting…. and this goes for all three companies.

Am also pursuing my MBA part-time so I’ll have to make sure that I manage my time properly.

3. So what do you usually do in your free time?
Do I have any ? Well, a jog would be good. Or most of the time, just chilling in the room, listening to music and seeing if I can get my hands on any craft work.

During a recent trip to Phuket.

4. What is the furthest place you’ve been to for training?
I would say it’s Shanghai. One of the highlights in D’Jungle People.
5. What are you reading right now?
Well..at the moment, I’m trying to finish up the journals provided by lecturers. But trying to get my hands on magazines like The Economist and Bizweek.

6. Share with us one or two of your best memories you’ve had as a DJP facilitator.
It was during My 2Sen Worth race. Not a very difficult race, but a race with full of learning (for me personally) and how everyone came together to make it work. Another one would be when I was doing the most recent Star BRATs Programme. Sometimes you never realize how much impact you’ve made in the programme. To be honest, I never knew I did and like what John said in the most recent KOTF programme, you will never know when someone is looking at you for guidance, support and your leadership role. When I came back to the office, I received two e-mails from the BRATs saying how they look up to me and seeing me as a “big sister”. The e-mails were touching and nevertheless made me remind myself of who I am and what are the values and principles I hold strongly to.
