During holidays..

During this holidays, what did i do? Eat, sleep, watch tv, play games, going out, etc... for whole month.. But i still have coursework and homeworks..
My coursework is to read books.. The world is Flat, The art of war-sun tzu, STarbucks experience, Blue Ocean Strategy and one more..(forgot the name)
THe world is Flat contains 571 pages and the writing is small size.. I read until I wanna sleep..
Haha.. But, the book is quite useful. It told me about the current issues we are having.. Now, everything is using IT. The importance of IT for all the industry.. IT helps us to obtain all the information that we want.. Companies can outsource their call centers to India.. About India, I thought that they only expert in medical field.. after reading the book, i realised the development in India is very rapid.
For art of war, I just read the book relating to biz.. This book is quite interesting.. About the strategy of war to implement in biz..
Starbucks experience-- relate to how they conduct their biz using 5 principals :
1) Make it your own
2) Everything matters
3) Surprise and delights
4) Embrace resistance
5) Leave your mark
Starbucks is a successful company.. they treat their employees very well and put them on the 1st position..
BLue Ocean Strategy is about the new biz strategy..
Explaining the types of strategy such as 4 action framework, strategy canvas..
I spent 2 weeks.. but i have not finish yet.. Feeling tired sitting on the floor..

Last week, my ACCA results came out.. Everyone was anxious for what they obtained..
As for me, I'm quite satisfied.. I failed one out of 3 subjects.. Actually, I thought i would pass one subject.. there are 4 classmates passed all.. They are superb.. One of them may obtain book prize.. He is our genius guy.. Anyway, congratulation to them...

After next week, I have to go back to college. This would be my last sem..
Ok.. that's all..

During CNY

Today is the last day of CNY.. So how did you celebrate during CNY?
For me, My mum and I went to visit my mum's siblings in Serdang. My grandma and grandpa already passed away 2 years ago. I really miss them. I missed my grandpa's accent. He talked cantonese like a singing tone (it's a Gou Chow Style). I think I would not able to find another person who can talk like his slang. None of them could learn from him.

There were kids everywhere in the house. Every year there is a new baby. Haha.. The atmosphere was full of crying babies. Anyway, I just see them once a year. Not only have babies in the house, there were a few of cousins about my age. However, I don't really get close to them. It sounds like we were out of touch. I just talked with my elder cousin sister, Pui Yee. She went to UK last year and took a lot of pictures. Wonderful buildings, variety of flowers, etc... She was studying in TARC too. How I wish that I could go to UK this year but no financial support. Haiz..

On the next day, Cynde, my brother and I went to watch a movie, "ink heart" in Mid Valley. It's a fantasy stories. How can a person read a storybook and appear real things from the book?? Haha.. Anyway, fairy tales... Do you really think Cinderella, Snow white, Sleeping beauty would live happily ever after?

On the following day, I organised a house visiting trip. We gather at Sfoo's house at 10am. Those who join this gathering were ksoon, ksheng, kyeow, team, ykee, des, myee, cfai, khoe, sfoo and wleong. Did i miss anyone?Hope not. Hehe.. After that, we went to Des's house. We played cards.. While they playing, I visited yhui's house. Pinky was happy to see me.. It jumped on me.. Haha... I didn't see yhui for a long time and we chat for 2 hours. I'm happy that she could get an internship. At night, we went to have our dinner in Syabu Syabu. After dinner, they went to my house. Almost every year, they would come to my house. Wonder why? They can take this opportunity to play table tennis.. Last year, william played with me.. We really had a great time.

On the fourth day, sis Yuen visited my family and we had our lunch at lot10 by using vouchers. Haha.. I felt lucky that we could get those free vouchers by buying YTL's shares. So to those who are interested, buy this YTL's shares. For your info, I'm a shareholder as well. Haha.. While having lunch, ksoon told me that he wanted to play ping pong at night. So i said ok..
At night, I waited for him and others to come... I knew they would 'fong fei kei'... But then, only sfoo arrived at my house and I had no choice to follow him. Vwai, yling, wleong and ksoon already reached Cowboy. Vwai and yling just came back from Perak.

On the 5th day, I joined ypeng's group for house visiting. I wish to see snee and wteng as both of them are working now and no longer study in TARC. After that, I followed wleong's gang to csheng's house. His house looked new... There were a collection of mini cars.. csheng taught us to play 'sam ka' manjong. csheng's parents invited us to join them for dinner. However, sfoo forgot to bring his wallet so we ended up to have our dinner.

On the 6th day, I learned to play gimrany(spelling correct?) cards with my family. My mum was very good. She always the winner. My brother was better than my mum. He could win a few sets straight although he is a new learner. Haha.. I had a great fun with my family...

Ok... that's how I spent my CNY for a week.
