Diploma in Floristry Management

We are the 3rd batch intake for Nobleman School of Floral Design.

Since September 2009, we were going to school almost every Tuesday, Thursday and Alt Saturdays. The longest break we had was during Christmas and New Year period and Chinese New year period, It was really a good break but another month more I will start to miss school. Though I do hope to finish but the bonds and friendships over the months had been wonderful and will be missed. One thing I would say that I am glad is most of us are quite easy-going and very understanding towards each other strength and weakness.

Which subject I love most during this course in time? I think it will be the time with Gail, though that time for 3 modules was tough but knowing Gail was there for us helps us to pull through the whole 3 modules together. (Off hand I cant remember the name of the modules with Gail but once I have the subject names, I will add them in) Some of the works we did during her time.





The worst subject I dislike? Public speaking + Demo Presentation of a table floral arrangement. Public speaking is one of my worst fears. I hope this Saturday (9th April 2011) I am able to pass that subject, I really don’t feel like going through it but I guess I still have to overcome my fears. It’s whole different experience and something I think I am very weak at.

The rest so far were quite ok, last module that I am taking right now is the blog writing and creations! It’s also one of my favorite subject too. I had revamp my blog and love my fishes.. They always look hungry.. so don’t mind feeding them while you are here visiting my blog. Haha. They will follow your mouse so have so fun giving them abit of exercise after feeding. I hope I can put more creations and more inputs of my floral journey in my life.

Since I have decided to be my own boss, I would hope that it will come true. We went through a retail course of Setting up a retail business. Mr Tan gave us a very realistic view on business in Singapore. First thing will kill a business will be the rental. That is one major expenses that really cause a business to fall. How to overcome is proper planning and good management and the people working for you. He gave a lot of insights and make us more aware of the economical stuff around Singapore. He really open my eyes to other world and be more aware of Singapore GP etc and stuff. I hope one day I can treat him to a meal when I am really my own boss.
