Mid-terms

Back from a short hiatus of smugging, a lot has happened over the last 2 weeks, which was considered hell week by many of my seniors. Namely, we had our fundraising during week 6, and there was mid terms and individual assignments due week 7.

Fundraising was a hectic rush for money as we grabbed random passer-by and shoved items into their face in an attempt for them to purchase it. However, things weren't as smooth as we thought it will go. Our aim of raising 5000 was destroyed after day 1 for we raised just a reasonable amount of around 200. Some items we chose to sell wasn't selling that well. The super ring and mamee weren't selling out as fast as we thought but Kinder Bueno and Pepero was selling out at such a fast rate i normally won't see anymore in stock during the afternoon.

We reached a miserable 700 by end of thursday which is way below our new aim of 1000. So Eugene and I came up with a genius idea. We decided to give out our snacks for free and ask people for donation instead. Yea, this is Business 101 Page 1: Guilt tripping. To our surprise, people were willing to give us more for our cheap snacks like mamee and double decker. Some of them were even interested in Project Taiyang and we gladly explained what we were going to do in China. Chee Ming even went full Mediacorp mode as he asked told them we weren't doing well in sales and the people obliged by donating.

Overall, it was a satisfying experience for we reached the quota by the end of the week. Despite people being demoralized and whatsoever, I had a great time for I met many old friends like secondary schoolmates and ex-TJ people. I was really happy some of them still remembered me which means i am still in their memory :')

Talking about Bahasa eh?

Oh yea, Reynold came over on thursday since it was his recess week. We had a quick study session and we just went full YOLO mode. He asked me at 6.40 if i wanted to watch a movie at 7pm at the Cathay. Me being retarded said, you guessed it, HELL YEA. So we rushed off to Cathay and we split up as I bought our dinner and he bought the tickets. We met up outside the cinema to stuff food into our bag and go in for a hell of a time. This was when i found out i haven't really went out to have fun for like 7 weeks. I really thank him for dragging me out to watch a movie even if it was just for 2 hours of fun, it really made my week.

When too stressed, put middle finger in air and shout hell yea.

After that week, the whole saturday was spent burnt on BGS individual assignment. Well, i didn't know you would take one whole freaking day to write just 2 pages of bull crap. Honestly, I just received an email from the professor stating some of us are just fucked since our analysis of the assumptions are just skin deep. We need to peel layers after layers to find the root causes. Oh well, things don't always go your way does it.

Here's to a well deserved recess week!
