my internet connection was unstable for the past few days so couldnt blog about christmas. i went to my first ever christmas party on xmas eve organized by my coursemates. its goin to be our last gathering for a long time and it was super fun! our guest list kept growing. luckily it was a potluck. we ordered pizza, turkey, log cake and people brought cookies, brownies, mifen, curry chicken, sushi... most people were dressed to the nines. suyin's dad organized a game called connectivity where we were split into 3 teams to form a circle and keep the balloon in the air. it reminded me of entrepreneurship where they kept emphasizing on team spirit. haha...but most of us knew each other already so it wasnt much of a problem.
the most exciting part was the gift exchange and countdown. we all had to poke balloons filled with confetti to see what present we got. then at midnight, we got ready our party poppers to countdown and enjoyed the chocolate fondue prepared by weizhi after that. yum!
thanks for the birthday surprise too!

my business plan is finally done! last week was the entrepreneurship 'boot camp' as said by our lecturer. last week was a super long week with 4 presentations in 5 days. we had a crash course on industry analysis, marketing, finance and accounting etc... the lecturer basically left us on our own to do the marketing plan when we didnt know what were all those business terms. many groups had to stay back till late in school to finish up their presentations. its very amusing when we're in the resource room and you can hear all the business terms and financial numbers instead of the normal bio terms. luckily my group is very efficient. we didnt have to stay very late. and i think we work best under time pressure! our presentation grades were quite good. grey team rocks!
overall, this module although tiring and boliao at times, is a nice change from the bio modules that we normally take. the tight timelines really require us to have teamwork. in the process, i got to know new people as well. its a nice ending to the times of our lectures in sbs. *sniff*

we had our entrepreneurship orientation on saturday. first, we were divided into 7 coloured groups. i got into the same group with suyin again! we have too much affinity with each other. this orientation reminds me of foc (freshman orientation camp) games, just that there were lesser introductory ice-breakers as most of us should have known or seen each other before. we played mostly team building games, most of which were quite lame. i enjoyed the 'pass the marble' game at the end. but i only managed to play 2 rounds as my 'company' was 'closed down' due to 'lack of clients'. unfortunately i was manager of the team and i couldnt play the next 2 rounds as i was 'promoted to regional manager' and just had to observe other people or give them instructions. its was a fun game that required team work, speed and strategy. some groups were really amazing.
after a tiring day, we went to suyin's house for her birthday party cum bbq. it was really fun and we're planning another gathering for christmas eve! went to sleep over at hong's house for the night. first time i stayed over at a friend's house. nice having girl's talk till late at night. and i woke up to breakfast prepared by her!
today was the first day of entrepreneurship lessons. its such a long and intensive day! lessons are scheduled from 9am to 5pm this week, just like office hours. just that we'll probably have to do OT most of the days to prepare for the many presentations that we'll be having. we were only given 1 hour today to read a case study and prepare for presentation. now have to think of 2 business ideas incoporating technology by wednesday. help!
