My November plan was supposed to be concentrating on preparing for my ACCA external examinations. I tried to avoid taking much responsibilities, skipping events, turned down few invitations from my friends to meet up.
However, things don't go as planned. My efficiency and concentration on studies never been so worse. I'm constantly under stress of not sticking to my study plan, feel sorry for rejecting my friends and guilty of feeding myself too well without regular workout (I have gained weight!). It's a vicious cycle and I couldn't stop blaming myself at the end of everyday, although I have enjoyed the day.
There's one day I was stressed out again, then my team received an encrypted email from P&G. We had conflicted feelings towards this good news. Of course we were excited to get into final round, but it means we had to prepare for it. The timing of final round was bad as we were having our peak period and I had one ACCA paper one day after the competition. But it didn't take me too much time to decide that I want to do this. This competition isn't similar with the other competitions that I have participated before, which is very interesting and challenging.
But as usual, life catch us off guard! I nearly fainted when I saw the names of finalists. I am very happy that my friends made into final round too, but the fact that four out of eight teams are from my organisation means it's gonna be very competitive and only one team could made into the international round. We felt more stressed when we were given the 20 pages case study question and they informed us that our deadline was three days earlier than expected.
And there's no cash prize! Sorry for being money minded but cash prize would be a great motivation for me HAHA. But I would say the experience (let's don't talk about free food and free gift) was extremely invaluable.
Our discussion didn't go well and it's super difficult to schedule our discussion due to our busy schedule. Although one of our teammates is my housemate but we still do hangout call LOL. The Google Hangout session would always be the best moment and I felt our bond had strengthened after going through the hardship together. We named ourselves "team stressed" because we are just too stressed out about life.
I always prefer to work alone because I don't need to accommodate with other's schedule and discussion might end up with no conclusion. Especially when working with friends, I'm very worried of ruining our relationship. But it turned out that teamwork is the key of our success. Our diversity in academics background, working style, personality and experience had encouraged us to consider from different perspectives, which led to holistic decision making.
We couldn't believe it when they announced Team 4 is the first runner up. We even doubted that whether they announced it wrongly and whether our team is Team 4. I'm not sure whether it's another achievement that I should be proud of, but I definitely would cherish the moments we spent together and appreciate all the support and guidance provided by others.
The video of our competition is finally out and surprisingly our team got lots of screen time. The video is so good and brings back memories. Shout out to the friendly photographer who did a great job. Here's the link to video: https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=460240828208612&_rdr
And my creative bf has edited the screenshot from the video, which explains our relationship precisely.
P.S.
Big thanks to my bf a.k.a. our driver and my ultimate supporter. I like your laptop very much leh can give me ah? Since you have given me your heart, no difference kan?
Thanks to Jia Qi who dragged us into this too.
