Hey ppl!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! :grin1
time flies man. one year alrdy. things are so different yet some don’t change.
aniwaes, wahhhh i missed out on sm ang baos leh!! haha this yr i’m very money-faced. wanna grab as many ang baos as possible..but i missed out on one cos we werent at home when they came!!! ahhh!! nvm tmrw still got some more..i muz wake up earli if not, if they dun see my face they wun give. why sm ppl lydat 1 ah? u knoe i got 1 sister 1 brother, juz becos u dun see either one of them and they nv bai nian to u doesnt mean they dun exist and u dun hv to give!! aiyo!! :mad1
haha aniweas presentation on mon was okie but we were rushin thru like mad. cos the rest talked so much, den i felt dat mine was nt as impt and not much time left so i juz rushed thru it. but in the end we took a much longer time cos of the Q&A and cos we were the last grp. bah. if i knoe, i would hv presented properly. crap. but not much qns for my part, juz for mike’s part which was kinda expected i guess, cos it’s a pretty new concept. kev is very funny! and very great at tc-ing. he din hv any script at all lor, juz tc on the spot.
actually, most of the time, when i first start a proj with a new grp, i’m alwayz fearful and apprehensive. but when it’s over, i normally feel glad that everything turned out fine. like this one. at first, i tot we shld hv grped with F&F, becos durin the first lesson, i worked with F and she seemed quite gd and knoes her stuff. but they were grabbed up by sm1 else, so we were left with Kev and Ch. den Mike came in later cos he din hv a grp. Mike added in the part of favour credits, which was wat the other grps din hv, so hopefully dat wld give us an edge. like i said, Kev is very funny, and it was wat he said last wk dat made me feel guilty and go thru my report again. he said smthin like, “if u think the proj is not good enuf, den for christ sakes do smthin abt it lah!” but it wasnt directed at me lah, thankfully. however i felt it mks sense and i felt guilty so i went to look thru it again. but he’s a fun guy to hang out with aso lah. and he compiled the ppt beautifully. Ch, man i :heart1 this gal. really very thankful dat she was so hardworkin durin this proj. if i do well for it, it’s bcos of her and mebbe Jon. but i think her lah. cos she realli like read thru the entire thing, vetted it and edited it such dat it seemed like we were answering the qn correctly. she aso read the 3 chpts when most of us din. and she spent like a hell lot of time on it lah. from fri thru to sat morn, den sat nite thru to sun aftnn and sun nite again.
haha so wat was my contribution? haha erm erm erm juz the part assigned to me lor. and all the admin stuff like content pg, biblio, last min formatting. haha Ch insisted dat credit shld go to me aso cos she hates doin this kinda stuff and i did it for her. but i realie think my contribution is small in comparision to hers.
aniweas wow, speed shoppin. i bought 2 sets of clothes within an hr. haha cos this wk i thought wld hv 2 presentations, den i realised all my clothes, tho suitable for office, were not suitable for reallie formal stuff. so i rushed out to get them last wk. i think the dressin room auntie was pissed with me. i grabbed clothes, ran in, try, ran out. repeat process a million times. haha but shiuan said nice!! and i ‘forced’ sean into sayin it’s nice too haha. but it was damn hot lah, cos it was a black long-sleeved shirt. :cool1
in the end, for the TP presentation on tues they decided not to wear formal, so i hvnt worn my other new set yet. aniweas ya i kinda expected to get screwed for this cos my part was a highly debatable part. i presented on the stock options, which is not an issue reallie, since he wun be taxed at all. the other tricky part i did was his failure to report for tax. damien shoot at me like crazy lah, but i managed to shoot back and explain properly, so it was cool. but the other ppl not so good lah..and we din hv time again and he rushed us thru it. irritating. hw to present in 12 mins when u keep interrupting us with qns?! i wonder if the presentation is graded? i dun think so actually. ya but the report wasnt so bad i think. we got A-. but my test was like damn screwed lah. i failed it, but damien said cos it’s CNY, we can all add 10 marks more, so i passed. sean was screamin cos SYL wun do dat for their class but even tho i passed it’s still quite bad lor. i got a D. crap and my overall grade for TP muz be at least C+. not confident for corporate tax at all cos it’s a lot more chim. hai. hope proj pull me up. hope exam pull me up aso since it’s open bk.
crap man. i gtg study corp now. slacked like 2 days away liaoz. hv 3 chpts+exercises+FRS to read. think i heck the term paper and journals first lah. betta do properly for this one first. hai. hvnt even sat for it but i alrdy feel like im gonna fail it. i’m gonna try my best lah, but i scared i cant finish. and i knoe for sure the paper is gonna be tough. Tho NicN doesnt noe wat qns but he more or less confirmed it liaoz, esp since the first test was so easy. :sad1
