Thank you...

I'm finally done with my core exam... i thought the content of strategic management is one of the hardest module that i have taken in ntu. you really need to be jack of all trades - analysing the balance sheet, P&L statements blah blah from the exhibits, some marketing models that i'm quite comfortable with, looking from the perspectives of a managerial position... ah.. anything that has the word strategic is tricky! but well, i learn quite a bit from this module, not as crappy as i thought it would be. especially enjoyed reading the tutorial cases and textbook cases where i'm better able to relate to the examples and compare in different contexts. its interesting to learn about the strategies undertaken by companies - both successful and not so good attempts to learn from them.

This semester just come and go like nobody's business. Due to outside commitments, i have missed a couple of classes, especially for my GEs. yeah i'm indeed guilty about it because the purpose of overloading is to learn the things that i'm interested in, if not it defeats the purpose! i'm back again taking another crime related module heehee. its interesting to learn about forensic science and how those smarties managed to crack tough cases. guests speakers are generally good as they bring in applications and real life cases to share with the students. i guess the only downside about this module is that you really need to memorise the terms, techniques etc, down to the teensy weensy details. as such, i did real bad for the exam coz i just find it hard to memorise and didnt focus on the details as well. things get worsen when i made a stupid mistake in reconstructing the case, thereby starting a whole pile of illogical and nonsense arguments thats unforgivable! i guess i'm not someone who can accept failure easily, and once again, it proves the equation of studying is not equal to grades. an element of luck plays a part as well.

ok i guess i better stop complaining about the exams for afterall, its over! just left with one more paper, regional tourism development before i begin my internship in the coming december. so excited about it! =D

just felt that there's so many people helping me this semester and i truly appreciate them. without them this semester is going to be a tougher ride.

Thank you to...

Yingjie: my roomie who has been lending me her forensic science notes whenever i missed classes, explaning some of the terms to me... complaining and gossiping together... lunching and dinner... glad that although we were in different faculties, we could still end up taking the same module together heehee.

Weilin: thanks for lending me your tourism notes for i have missed so many classes =p all the best!

Jun Wen: thanks for lending me your strategic management notes, as well as explaining them to me when i understand that time is precious for everyone. really appreciate your time and effort. see you in tourism exam!

Ray: for helping me with strategic mgmt... you are good at these bs stuff haha... enjoy your holiday!

Jeroen, Cecilia, Sophie and gang: you guys brighten the tourism class~ had fun during the tutorials and projects... i hope all of you have enjoyed your exchange programs and have fun travelling around the region... yoo hoo!

Strat Mgmt groupies: efficient team where 5 strangers created synergies. i learned a lot from you gals. thank you.

HR Training groupies: we managed to survive through this hectic semester with so many presentations that i have lost count on it. the nights in mcdonalds will be something to remember haha =p

IMF team: although its just a short period and i dont get to know many of you well, its cool to work with you guys. thanks for giving me the opportunity to be at esplanade where i'm simply blown off by the showcases of the different cultural aspects of singapore. great job!

Hui Ling: for jio-ing me for the GES where we get to interact with someone who offered insights to us haha. lets work hard for our internship and go shopping after work yeah!

Junhong: for listening to my complaints whether you like it or not heh =p

and many others...

its so ironic... whenever i'm suffering from the massive workload, i would hope that everything would come to an end soon. now, i'm feeling sad that classes have ended... in fact i think i feel more sad than my friends who are on exchange to singapore... because they are leaving soon. but well, i'm happy for them because life moves on and i hope that life will be better for all of us =)

continue to pursue your dreams and capture it! the world is small, we may get to meet one another again~
