Summary of year 2009

Entering to another year seems new and unpredictable future. But....
What did I do last year? Was it a good year to me? Let's me see..

January

I had a few assignments for my final semester. One of the assignments was Finance Decision Making. It was related to Business Analysis for our previous semester's subject. There were 6 of us in a team-YP, KL, SL, CK, AQ and me.

March
My group was the first to do presentation for Assignment 1 of FDM. All of us acted like a team by wearing black attire smartly. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to have a group photo after presentation. After that, we have to start discussion for the second assignment. I like the memory where everyone contributes ideas by imaging we were doing business. Haha..

Besides this assignment, we-YP, AQ, PM and I had Moral assignment. So this month was our group discussion month. Haha..

Mun Fatt invited me to his church-FGA and knew a group of friends.


April
I had 2 presentations-FDM and Moral on the same day. Wow.. One whole shot.. These would be our last presentations.

Last Day in Office Before CNY

Chinese New Year is just a few days away from now. As usual, everyone is busy doing spring cleaning, decorations, buying clothes, shoes, mandarins, etc.

My company will be closed from 12th to 17th Feb. Since today is the last day, there are special events. Firstly, two colleagues’ birthday falls on Feb so we take this opportunity to celebrate their birthday. This is my first time to order Pizza Hut delivery. Sing song, blow the candle, cut the cake….

For these two weeks, suppliers and subcon sent hampers and mandarins to our office. Most of the hampers have ferrore roche chocolates, bird’s nests, abalone, wine, etc.. It looks attractive. Therefore, all of us eager to have the lucky draw event. Dun worry, everyone has the opportunity to take at least one hamper home. Haha.. I don’t mind what I will get but at least I can bring something home. Hehe.. =)

It's better to give than to receive

Most of us know how to receive things from people (Taker) but seldom give things (Giver). Is it good? Let me share this story.

A young man, a student in one of the universities, was one day taking a walk with a Professor, who was commonly called the student's friend, from his kindness to those who waited on his instructions.

As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work.

The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them."

"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how this affects him."

The student did so and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.

While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but feeling something hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed upon the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again.

He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen.

He now put the money into his pocket, and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.

His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife who was sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom this timely bounty, from some unknown hand, would save from perishing.

The student stood there deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. "Now," said the professor, are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?"

The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before: "It's better to give than to receive."
