Damn Van...
Saturday was one of those days you know you should have just stayed in bed and everything would have been fine. The dark clouds could have clued me in but I didn't think much of it. I have these ominous signs just before I meet with an accident, every single time, but do I pay heed? NOOOoooo...
Next time the voice in my head tells me I should stay home in the morning, I'll make it a point to listen.
Anyway, I decided there and then that I would be in a bad mood for the rest of the week, become a recluse and hole myself in the office coding A.I. and my isometric engine. Considering the number of social engagements this week (Sharon's Bdae, Muchacha's Bdae, meeting with Estee Lauder, etc), this is a really bad time for this sorta shit.
I was stewing in my misery till about 4pm when I found a teammate for the LKY global biz plan competition. I wanted to take part the year before but our company product wasn't so well developed. This year we've got our stuff together and are ready to rock but I need another SMU student to form a team because Tianyang won't be qualified as he'll graduate in December.
Anyway, my teammate is none other than our PR girl, Carrie!
It brightened my day when Carrie agreed to join; especially since Huiwen and I were just discussing the night before:
"Reasons why Carrie is quite the ideal teammate for this competition"
1) She's in the Bizcom exco - event planning skills gonna come in handy just that this time we got to plan things on a global scale
2) Presentation Skillz - wonder if those post modern theatre studies will come in handy
3) She's a potential user herself - well she plays phone and PC games
4) And of course, the boundless Carrie enthusiasm which is oh-so-important for these boring business plan competitions!
As Huiwen puts it: "She always very enthu about things"
Of course, there's always the US$20,000 prize to serves as a backup motivation as well. (I need that for repairs). Heh. :-P
I've got a good feeling about this. Hopefully it's a sign we'll win. :-P
