my school’s neighbours, SIM, organised a business competition called the “SIM National Management Competition 2010″. i’ve been organising events for quite some time now, and i’m able to differentiate good events and bad ones.
when the invitation emails were sent out, it sounded like an interesting competition. we could try applying what we’ve learnt for the past 3 semesters into one competition. oh boy, did i regret. to be honest, it’s the worst competition i’ve ever joined
to begin with, the event took place mid-way of term 2: when all of us had deadlines to meet. to make things worst, we had to make our decisions by 2pm, over 6 days, each day. since our teammates were either busy when i’m free or vice versa, we could only meet in the evening.
and because of that, we had to stay in school until 11pm everyday, for 6 days! that means reaching home at midnight and being back there by 9am. my house literally became my hotel room.
oh and, did i mention about the 74-page manual that everyone had to read?!
well, our efforts paid off and we got into the semi finals
if you’re thinking, “oh congrats! you got into the semi-finals”…think again.
when i read this e-mail, nothing but swearing words came out of my mouth. “WTF WE GOT INTO THE SEMI-FINALS? WE’RE SO ****ing DOOMED. **** LAH. WHY THE **** DID WE GET IN…” (i’m exaggerating)
this was the first competition i wished that i didn’t get into the semi-finals. why? because our routine was to continue 
by then, we were desperate. we needed accommodation near school because it just isn’t practical reaching home at midnight and coming back by nine in the morning. it just wasn’t feasible at all
thankfully, our teacher-in-charge managed to book a room for us! that way, we weren’t rushed to make decisions because we could sleep late and still get to our classes on time.
if anybody on this world recommends this competition to you, DON’T JOIN IT. YOU WILL REGRET!
okay i’m done ranting 
np open house is officially over! it’s been a long and tiring 3-day event, but it’s been really satisfying. i’m waiting for more pictures to come in.
in the meantime, keep yourselves intact because i’m gonna update this post real soon!
since i can’t go to bed, i’ll just post my reflections for ylc4 here
my regret
not making it in time for the entrance for the dinner on the second night. we failed miserably anyway, until qiu yan helped us
my best moment
the ninjas cheering the power cheer on stage
thing i love about ylc
school has never been so empty/deserted before.
my favourite moment
when ninjas won the best tribe award
what i’ll miss
go around school in a buggy! how often do you get to do this!
more stuff coming soon!
yes, this post means another post is coming. another all-exciting post about the previous events (eg XTC BBQ) will be published soon!
it also means that this blog will be under periodic maintenance. you might have noticed several changes or some things missing. i’m working to solve the problem :\
