2008!

Welcoming new year, let me recap some of the stuff that I've been working on since the last time I updated my blog. Starting from December 10th, I've embarked on a journey together with Kelvin, Tiang Lim, Ivan, Jorina, Kong Jien, and Stanley into a marketing competition organised by IBM. I didn't know that it'll be this tiring when I accepted Kelvin's invitation to help him for the competition back in November. Well, I'd say that it's a fruitful learning experience, as most probably I wouldn't be in the sales line unless I got kicked out of pharmacy :P From the competition, I've learnt to adapt to changes as quickly as possible. Holding on to one's beliefs is important.

First week's sales are discouraging, but thankfully we managed to change our strategy quite quickly, allowing us to have more space for growth. Second week is decent, while there's only one word to describe the third week: Great! It must've been the experience that we've gained along the way. Level up!!! Nonetheless, positive competition within the group as well as with other competitors is a good push for us to achieve greater heights. Now there's presentation left to go on 8th January. Wish me luck ok?

Yesterday marks the last day of the actual sales competition, so I decided to follow Tiang Lim, Jung Seong, Su San, Yean Ching, and Stanley to Brewerks for the countdown. I couldn't believe that we actually finished two beer towers of 4 liters each. It's even more shocking when I see the bill at the end of the day. Well, it's the new year, spend a little bit more also nevermind :P Just that the fireworks for the new year was blocked by the stupid building. Not that I have someone to watch fireworks with me anyway. LOL

Moving on to new year resolution, I should study more and play less in order for me to increase my CAP point. I want to get a CAP 5.0 for at least a semester throughout my life in NUS!!! Please note that I'm untouchable after this year's rag. Operation CAP 5 in progress.

Alright, that's a lot of nonsense and dream. I wish everyone a happy new year. Let bygones be bygones and move into the new year with new resolution. Hopefully by the end of the year everyone will achieve their goals!
