Woohoo!

Well, as always, it's been a while since I wrote again on this blog.

Been SUPER busy since the last blog so never really gotten down to writing. When school comes, i'll probably be more free. lol. How ironic.

But it's good la. It's good to live everyday being busy with the right things.. though of course rest and spending time with God is important, and that's where I have to work on.

But Praise God! Me, Charis and Gershon won 2nd for the Social Entrepreneurship competition for our church youth conference! No photos yet, waiting for them to put it up on the website.

But Elim Chew was one of the judges. V cool. Haha. I must say we SMU did the best presentation, haha as always, but good la, can tell these judges are not swayed by good presentations; they don't judge a team based on their presentation skills, they judge based on the feasibility of the business idea. Haha.

Elim said," SMU, I expect more from you guys since you guys have the Lien Foundation!" Haha, that was funny. But good la, the only reason why we didn't win, I believe, was because they checked us on our commitment to follow through on the business, and we've fell short. But it was like a presentation where we couldn't be shot down cos we have professional smokers on our team. Haha.

But 2nd is $700 bucks for the whole team! Haha yay. A little richer now. I didn't even know the prizes were so good until they were announcing the winners.

And truly it's a humbling experience for me as well. Gershon, fyi is the guy who organized the Citibank Case Challenge, one of the Cognitare people. His ppt slides are really top class, and his presentation skills.. Haha nothing to say also; he really knows how to hold his ground up there.

There's really still alot for me to learn in terms of presentation and holding yourself well on stage. But I thank God that I'm in the company of such people.

And Charis too. I never done a project with her before, but she's really good at presentation and taking questions as well. Haha. I have much to learn from the both of them.

But praise God, $233 per person.

And today went for Word power Semi-finals. I never felt so stressed before, so jing zhang... I think our group is really v competitive. The Bible trivia section especially is qiang3 da2 ti2 and MCQ. The thing is, the judge never finished the question even then we all whack the question already. One of the teams even had totally no chance to answer. Haha

At first was dominated by this NUS guy.. haha, then last part our team caught up by snatching all the last questions. Lemme give a few examples:

First question:
How old was Noah when the flood...
*NUS raises hands*

600.

I lifted up my hands like 0.1 seconds after him la. zzzz.

Second, I got nervous so:
What bird was given to the...

* I raise hand*

Haha. Couldn't answer question. And end up the NUS guy got it.

The question was supposed to be :
What bird was given to the Israelites in the wilderness when they left Egypt?

*NUS guy raises hands*
Quail.

zzz. Correct again.

Nm. Our team took revenge at last part.

" Who was the king who ate grass.."
Nebuchunazzer.

"In Acts 27, what island was Paul stranded?"
Malta.

"Who led the rebellion against Moses and was.."
Korah.

"Where did Aaron die?"
Mount Hor.

"Who was the Pharisee that came to Jesus to inquire.."
Nicodemus.

But xiong man.. especially the scripture memory.. Haha.. but think should be able to get into finals again. First prize laptop! Must win! =)

But to the other stuff about my life...
hmm think another day la.. too sleepy now.
