..:: 437. The One With End of Projects ::..

finally... my projects are officially done with :)

no more staying up late... no more meetings... no more powerpoint...

and to top it all, got A+ for all my projects :) definitely a great start :)

my first project was for marketing. we have to set up a company and come up with business plan and present to the class. my group did 'dingdong.sg' a one-stop delivery service for food, clothes, gifts, etc. shot a video which i added the channel u intro :)

marketing presentations are crazy. the minimum number of slides from a group was 130.

so glad after our presentation, our tutor who was super strict with us before the recess gave A++... yes 2 plus! lol...

we even treat the class coffee and buns as part of our opening act...

then next project was our organisational behaviour (ob) and design module. that grade was tedious and difficult to get. consist of 3 parts. after we presented a case, we are open to 'attacks' from the rest of the class. and when other groups are presenting, we have to think critically to answer questions or value add to what they have said. the tough part was we had to look up for credible journals, find theories and citations to support what we say. as my tutor said, 'no coffee shop talk allowed'. whatever we say must link it using ob terms.

after 3 weeks, she flashed the results on ppt and just as our group thought we didnt do as well cos we were the first group to present. we got A for case. A+, A for attacks and an overall A+. best group among her 3 classes. we almost jumped for joy.

ok. sorry i'm in my satisfaction-progression process (OB term). intrinsic motivator for myself :)

then last project was on McDonalds. our group chose china as our approach with much worries... but as we present, i felt it was the best content presentation. in the words of my tutor, 'this is definitely a A+, they speak with facts and figures, you cant argue with them...' a 20MB, 153 slides that i never thought the end product could be so satisfying.

also went to do some 'fund raising' for my hall... dunno why they wanna use the term 'canvassing' which doesnt seem to be the correct term. anyway was at the great eastern women 10km run. took cab with my hall mates at 4am! to padang. so tired. but the adidas dri-fit tee and cap were worth it :P

had a feel of driving. addicted but now exams drawing near.

so busy. i nid a breather. was in:

ntu sports club sub com: sch events - fitness assessment, street challenge, sports expose

ntu sports club- national event, surf and sweat main committee

ntu modern jazz dance club

hall sub comm (social)

hall dance

investment interactive club

and exams are 17 days ahead o_O

..:: 436. The One With Silk ::..

finally caught a movie! and it's at cineleisure with my long-long fren, toby. lol.

SILK is so... nice. it's a must watch. at first thought it was some cheap horror movie talking about ghost, spirit, after-life. but it really touched me and scared me at the same time. the story uncovers more excitingly as the show goes on... i 'climaxed' a few times. lol. wrong word to use but just you thought the show gonna end, more weird stuff appeared.

must go catch the show.. especially since i blog just to recommend the movie.

went vivocity and dropped my jaw... literally. so big, you can easily get lost. finally some place to satisfy my retail therapy... every shop in singapore i think you can find there... minus neighbourhood stores... even kopitiam and banquet were side by side. divided by a barrier cos kopitiam non-halal...

i bought a pair of nike shorts cos my army shorts are freaking short! for one with lanky legs, unglam sia... emphasise my ultra malnutrition-ed legs :( at least it covers up till my knees :) now you can only see my leg hairs. hehe...

bought dvds... the break up and friends special episodes of rachael...ok sorry i adore jennifer aniston can?

and birthday present for my gal friend. lucky gal. :P

i got offer for overseas CIP expedition, hopefully army can excuse me. :(

got poster design to do.. arghz. haven touch anything yet.

got video transcript to do. it's so hard cos it's an interview with a kid! you know they like to mumble and say things that are out-of-point. so hard to figure out what they trying to say... -_-

but i'm patient :) they're just kids i tell myself.

..:: 435. The One With Glutton ::..

..:: 434. The One With Back to Myself ::..

gosh so fast a month has passed! everyday been busy with project discussion, that's why i never update my blog... not much happening also. i am busy but at the same time enjoying all the while. been really blessed with all the people ard me... supportive classmates who always make tutorials so enjoyable. everyone smiles in class :)

this week (after my recess week) was the start of accessed presentations. first up was the marketing project abt this destiny cafe where their targeted market was couples... a cafe and place for them to get cosy and they provide meals and board games. weird thing was that they had this 12 hours for 30 dollars package. i mean... who will play for 12 hrs? in the end they got B+ which was surprising cos our tutor never gave anything better than C.

i think perhaps their targeted group is more of high segment. really scared of my group's cos we target the middle-high segment with a special kind of 'delivery service' like vertu but definitely not as 'class' as a cafe.

next was the case study of banyan tree. the group got an F when they did giordano. so my friend was really scared. just 1/4 through the presentation, the tutor suddenly asked them to cycle through and we were stunned. 'you all can cycle through, easily an A+'. *silence* but i could see my friend grinning thru'out the presentation. what a breakthrough. wah. now my group feels stress to 'upkeep' the market.

ok shant talk so much abt sch. pix time... with my ob (organisation behaviour module) group... we had so much fun doing project...



who says go SMU to study business is better? i guess people here are more 'real' though we are competitive in our own ways. we did our project from 11pm to 6am. everything must have a first, dont u think?

our accessed case study... after discussion, we had steamboat in my hall :) cant have it when u are in SMU. no hostel. :P



went to hwa chong for mid autumn festival... had dinner with the class.



class bench with the class!



with my besties! yanping and stephrene.
