case competition

never thought that my group can actually make it into the semi-finals for case competition (background knowledge-see below).. thought we didn't really write a fantastic proposal, at least not so good that can bring us to the semi-finals.. but well, we're in it..

saturday'll be the semi-finals, we've to present our proposed solution in front of the judges in LT16, in proper business attire.. and since i don't have any, i went to buy the whole set yesterday and today! yes, that's right! i spent money just for this case competition(ok, not really ONLY for this competition, 'cause business students'll definitely need one set for presentation next time.. but still..)

went G2000(my father most hated brand, along with U2) to get my suit.. initially wanted to get a blouse only, but the pric is too steep($60 for a blouse!!), so later on took yuan's advice, bought a bazar instead, which came along with a skirt..

yesterday after MNO(1 of my modules) meeting, rushed down to town to look for shoes.. and guess what? i broke my personal record in the time taken to buy things..haha.. i am a super indecisive person, always take hours, or most of the time, days or weeks to decide if i should buy something.. but yesterday, i spent only 1/2 hour, which is like bullet-train speed in my POV.. i rushed down to far east plaza, took an average of 5 minutes to browse through all the shoe shops (& tried on some shoes)in 1 level, after looking around for 15 minutes, i decided to go back to the very first shop i entered.. another 15 minutes later, i'm already out, with a new pair of heels in my bag.. haha.. i think i'm so cool though..

if i'm not wrong, we are actually given $100/team for those who made it into the semis.. but the thing is that i have spent much much more than that 25bucks i get.. well, well.. but at least it's better than nothing..

*if you're my group mates, please don't read this line*.. hopefully (& i think most probably) i won't get into the finals; suppose to go out with dear in the afternoon on saturday.. if get in then can't go out anymore.. 'cause finals'll be in the afternoon..

**note: case competition is a competition organised by the business school, it's held annually. basically, all the group are given a case and we are supposed to propose solutions to these case problems..they are always business-related problems(like duh..) and they did take place in reality(just that those companies would have solve it already).. for prelimary round, we were given three days, the case was on Shiseido. 12 teams emerged into the semi-finals, and we are given 2 days to solve the problems. 3 teams would be chosen to go into the finals, whereby they would have to solve the problem on the spot.. the winner would represent NUS business school in the case competition that would be held in some other countries/places..
