All the results had been finally released..... Final score: SMU 3- Ray 2

IE, MA and Ethics is below expectations. Strategy and Marketing is above expectations.......

MA: B
IE A: B+
Ethics: B+
Marketing: A+
Strategy: A

Its all achieved through God's grace........ :)

Special mention is the Strategy group project in which we claimed 38.5 out of 40 percent......
Its horrendously gay...... All thanks to my wonderful groupmates: Edmund, LN, Jiahui and Geraldine........ Our report is darn power........ I only realize it when I read it again.......

I topped the class/batch in marketing...... Darn gay...... 100th percentile...... Hahaha...... Too bad no book prize....... Heeee....... I should seriously be a marketing student.......

Rushing FYP is seriously a pain in the arse....... Urrrggghhhh...... Just wanna end it as soon as possible....... Exchange application and internship on-boarding documents gotta be done by this weekend...... Urggghhhh.......

I need to apply for scholarship for the coming year...... Gotta try it again...... I seriously needed it this timer round....... Dad's condition making it all the more compelling....... Gotta prolly put it under the church's prayer list...... For the alleviation of pain during dialysis and the mental destress the condition might cause........

Alright Mates........ Enjoy this wonderful summer....... :)

Oh well..... SMU draws first blood...... IE A result is out......
I got a B (Forecasted A-/A)...... And I dont freaking understand.......
Scored 90%(Mean is 80%) in the first quiz, 78% on the second...... Gotten A- on my project (Which is among the highest in the pile of reports I saw when I picked up the graded copy)......

Unless I flunk my final exam really really badly...... I couldnt fathom how I can get a B..... Or unless Augustine Tan really grades his students darn strict now......

Oh well..... SMU 1 - Ray 0.......
1 out..... 4 more to go.......

IE just ended my expected gay semester...... Just praying for my other modules not to be like IE......

Signed my soul...... Sealed my internship contract in the office today..... Got to see some interesting stuff about ML..... The senior management came down to congratulate the interns as well....... LOL..... Starting my internship on May 14th and ending on 20th July..... Hahaha.... A short 10 weeks........

8 NUS, 1 NTU and 1 SMU...... Should have been 2 SMU if Raymond didnt get stirred into that internship stuff with EY...... Nice people...... Will get to know them better through this stint.....

2 formal assessment will be given and it will also be use to determine whether I will be offered full time employment upon graduation...... Just gotta try my very best and see what happens......

Congratz Bwee....... :) Happy for you......

Life is fragile...... My dad is left with 11% of working kidney..... The 89% died on him....... Lord, just hope that You will take away the pain and toxic in his body...... Refresh and rejuvenate......

Wheeeee...... Exam is over.......
Internship settled as well...... Praise the Lord......

Merill Lynch offered...... Got to reject the Dubai internship though...... Both are equally attractive but I gotta make the painful choice.......

Gay results will make this a really gay semester.......
Alright......

Its time to be a beach whale...... Just gotta lay around all day and do nothing......
NICEEEE.....

Watched Phantom of the Opera..... Its freaking good...... Really worth every penny...... :)

2 more to go..... MA tomorrow and Strategy on Saturday...... The IE paper was really quite unexpected...... The questions were phrased differently from what he always used to set....... And its tougher too....... Just hope I will be alright.....

Went for Shell interview this morning...... I nailed some questions and flunked some...... Flunk in the sense that the reply didnt seem well thought out or came out right...... I answered some questions in circles rather than directly tackling it......

Requested to discuss a topic totally unrelated to Shell; "Tourism"...... Some sort like a GP style question..... I dont think I did well..... Oh well...... Just wish for the best..... The place, culture and the people seem kinda cool...... The jobscope is kinda cool as well...... Its a generic internship program meaning that Shell could place me in any of the offices as well as functional areas...... She even mentioned that allocation to Pulau Bukom is possible...... LOL......

Chance Of Hire: 40%

Praise be to God, He answered my prayers..... Im bless with more internship opportunity now...... Merrill Lynch interview (Tech n Ops) is on Saturday right after my Strategy paper...... IE Singapore (Dubai) also invited me to an interview....... The thought about working in Dubai sounds really cool and adventurous.......

Just hope that I can perform in the interviews and settle it once and for all.......

Nat bought me an incredibly nice shirt for my 25th birthday gift during lunch break...... I rarely have that feeling of impulse to get a certain item..... This grey shirt happen to be that one in a million..... Its sorta like having that Im-Just-Going-To-Get-It-No-Matter-What feeling...... Its a great buy and I love it..... Thank you so much :)

2 more to go..... Just 2 more......
Good luck for those still battling sleepless night to mug for their papers......
Chill and have fun for the more fortunate ones.......

Well well well...... Its the time of the semester again......
Just completed my Ethics exam...... Should be alright........

~Cue drum roll ~
My forecast for this semester:

Marketing: A/A+
IE A: A-/A
Ethics: A-
Strategy: A-/A
MA: A-

Needed this semester to be real gay...... Anyway its forecasted, one grades deviation......

I got my exchange program...... Wheeee....... To Hong Kong it is...... HKU........
Together with Reuben, Edmund and Gary....... Should be fun.......
Without the stress and all...... Wooootttt.......

Internship is still ongoing....... LOL....... After more than 10 applications and months of writing cover letter and resume...... Im still hanging......

Only consolation is Shell is inviting for an interview....... At least one application pays off.......
Hopefully, I will get it........

Alright..... 3 more papers to go.......
Jiayouz........ :)
