yesterday, studied mob in the morn at woodlands mac. while waiting for shahirah, i saw tis crazy woman up to her equally crazy antics. she asked the staff for a cup of water then walked away, halting suddenly to splash water on the chairs. she muttered something really strange under her breath before heading towards the free coffee dispensers. she filled her now empty cup n sat nxt to tis petrified woman. when i mean sit nxt to, i mean really physically next to her - leaving the poor woman stranded between the dustbin the crazy woman herself.

aft a while, shahirah came. we attempted to study mob while crapping n having breakfast.. no more hotcakes for me aft anna's horror story. :P met william, amir n guowei before walking to rp.

the trials went v well wif us securing first n second postions in the sample session. but when the real game started, we were no more so lucky. trailing v far behind in the earlier rounds, even achieving the last position in some of our attempts. but through pure luck, we eventually came in 5th out of 10 teams when we attempted to crash the mkt wif extreme values in the 9th round. we lost the 4th placing by 0.3 but lead wif a 2nd highest mkt share of 1.3 (behind mkt leaders, TITANS of 1.4) n had the largest profits for tt yr. if only we attempted to crash the mkt earlier... then we wld hv made it to today's semis.

i can't say i'm not dissappointed coz i am. but dissapointment builds character. so as zest n everyone else put it, its the experience tt counts. anyway, carolyn n team got 4th in the semis so they r moving on. jia you!!!

defeat tastes sour.. but once u get used to, its not tt a big deal afterall.

anyway, i'm still proud tt we beat the i-tink-i-am-so-great tp teams. their show-off "miss i-speak-perfect-eng" n "mr 3-min-is-enough"!!! wahahahahaha. hehe.. oopsy..

wanted to eat roti prata but decided against it coz roti prata was supposed to be our celebratory food.. so it juz didn't feel rite. n i hv a comment to make, rp's foodcourt A at 1pm (lunchtime) is as crowded as sp's foodcourt 1 at 3pm (lect time).... seats were in abundance can.. mayb having few students is a gd thing. n their cleaners r fierce. they scold u for not clearing plates!

william: we came in as sp, superior ppl. but we now leave as dp, dejected ppl.

the mood was solemn even though we attemted to crack jokes of other poly's names (but coz we muz be politically correct n self-censor ourselves on public blogs, i shall not comment further), compared toilets n tried to look on the bright side. but, i believe, right inside everyone was thinking of the same qn. "what if"... what if we had taken a larger risk. what if we had been more ambitious. what if we were more cooperative? what if, what if, what if.

didn't hv time to mourn for long coz mob was drawing near fast. applied for loa then studied mob at fc 6. time passed in the blink of an eye n we didn't study much. crapping i guess. but the test wasn't tt unmanagaeble.. i'm glad i swore off msn the nite before.. coz i studied control n it came out!!! haha. wun ace, but at least, i dun tink passing is a prob.. =D
