SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY

Saturday
Spent a good part of the day indoors to work on the Organizational Behavior group project. The amount of hours i was stuck on my chair was just crazy and it totally didn't match the amount of work i had to do.
The 5 pages of my share to write.
An ugly evidence of excessive waste of time and procrastination.

The highlight though, was playing tennis(!) in the afternoon with the NOC seniors, who will be returning home this July after a good long year. Met most of them finally, and even saw a familiar face, Kelly, who was the Startup@Singapore 2005/2005 chair when I was an itty-bitty freshmen in that large, dynamic committee.
He's staying for another sem, making that the third semester! Awesome.

The courts were full,
cause there are only 6 courts,
and the seniors did not book.
Wonderful NUS, which has like 17 courts.
Finally one court was empty and the 10 of us took turns to play.
haha, 10! Fun Fun.

Sunday
Easter service was superb,
cause 4 people gave their testimonies on how they accepted Christ.
Each had their own story to share,
and every single one of the 4 teared as they relayed to us their journey.

If there's one thing I learnt this Easter,
it's that prayers really work.
"Easter weekend is miraculous," Pastor Young testified.
Yeah I know that now.
I experienced this firsthand.

After that, it was lunch at the Chesunut House*.
*Chestnut House - Wendy and the 5 NOC-ians place on 40th and Chestnut.
Adrian prepared fried fish fillets and a potful of mee-pok looking noodles with pepper, loadsa salt, sausages, luncheon meat and lettuces. mmm.

I returned again during dinnertime, because Pacey was cooking Viet!

-Fresh seafood spring rolls,
-Glass noodles,
-Mushroom-pork-and-shrimp deep fried spring rolls,
-Fried sugar-cane cuts wrapped with minced pork-and-shrimp,
-White fungus and chicken soup,
-Fisherman's fish with a sweet, slightly spicy congealed gravy.
-He tied it all with this authentic
sweet-garlicky sauce for the fried foods and the glass noodles.

Heaven on earth...SLUuuuRP.
Ended everything off with Adrian's delectable Tiramisu.


Monday
A typical day of classes,
curry chicken with potatoes dinner from the Indian food truck.

Oh, went to see the NOC seniors present their Business Plans,
as part of one their module 446.
The panel of judges were really sharp and smart.
It must have took a lot of guts and poise to stand up there and present to these industry experts, who pretended to be potential investors. Jeffrey, Estee, Kai Hong and Niraj who made up ETOIMS did well in the Q&A. Apparently, according to Jeffrey after that, they used all their backup-q&a-slides to answer the questions.
Their work was not in vain.

Tuesday
OB presentation day!
Ayeesha, Preethi and I wrote the paper,
Ada and Brett edited it and took responsibility for the presentation slides and for the repsentation itself.
An effecient and effective system, I say,
but that's another topic for another time.

Me, ada, Professor Wendy Smith, Brett and Preethi.
(Ayeesha was sick and she couldn't attend)
In our OB class in the Hunstman Hall, Wharton School.
Nice, spacious, high-tech, professional-looking.
Hahha.. I remember my first day in one of these rooms.
Freaking intimidating, can =)

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
2nd Soci paper due tomorrow.
This time around, we're supposed to assume the role of a 19-year high school-dropout, with a 2-year old child. We're then have to find a job in the classifieds that only requires a high-school and/or lower education and get the salary figure, find a place to live here in Philly, and submit a one-page typical-month budget.
Haha, creative, yes.

Then it's Spanish Exams for three days in a row:
Wednesday: Oral. I swear it's going to be a nightmare.
Thursday: Listening, Questions and Composition
Friday: Grammar and Vocab

Note to self : stop skyping and watching cooking shows!
Exams are in two weeks, you crazy girl.
