Champion of 9th IVAQ - Group Category

It's 27 of March 2010,

There is goes.. the alarm.. Normally you will want it to keep quite and somehow freeze the time.. but it's a different story that day... I woke up at 4.30 a.m and feel refreshing..

Drove to school... No Cars.. Green lights all the way... Un-familiar scene in K.L..

Yee Chien just parked her car when i reach Uni.. both of us was like waiting at the parking lot as Uni was in total darkness...

+ & - some stuff... somehow we left Uni... 2 Cars - Proton Saga and a Nissan Van(don't really know the name of the van).. Well the Van was driven by Mr.Teo's driver and the other was by Chee Loong...

Somehow we was late for the qualifying round for 15 minutes... Chee Loong said that last year group was also late and they won the Championship... So i kept in mind saying we'll make it because we are late...

The question was OKAY... there is a mixture of day-to-day application question mixed with theory which you'll find in your book.. A correct answer will be awarded with 2 marks while a wrong answer will provide you with a 1 mark deduction...

Before getting into the story... The Classification of Individuals and groups who joined the quiz...

Individual
Chong Mei Ting
Lee Yee Seang

Group
Sunway 1
Lum Kar Hoe
Chang Lil Yen
Ng Cheng Hong
Andrew Lim

Sunway 2
Ho Chung Teng
Lee Shu Min
Lee Chuan Han
Lim Yee Chien

Result for individuals was announce first and to make Sunway proud.. Both Sunway candidates got into the finals... As I'm one of the participant here... I can really elaborate the full story regarding the individual part as I'm partially not in the hall as we are getting ready for the second round... Somehow Yee Seang won in the individuals base..

Well, our group was called to be in the second stage.. In the second stage which comprise of 8 teams will be split into Team A and B.. Team A consisting Taylor Uni Coll, TARC, UUM and Sunway 2.. and Team B - UM, Sinar Coll, Sunway 1 and (i can't remember who)

Second stage is where each team is only allowed to place 3 contestant on the stage while the 4th member will be placed below the stage... Discussion is allowed in this stage.. This stage is where all the Uni and Coll will try their very best to eliminate the hard question by selecting the question for the other Uni/Coll... Sunway 2 and UUM got a strike for not failing to answer any question asked by either TARC or Taylor...

From the second round... the top 4 group ( 2 from each Team A and B) will be selected to enter the Final round... This round even though you are in the same group.. There is no discussion... so somehow it'll be like a One-man show...

Sunway 1 and 2 manage to enter the Final round together with UUM and UM... Both of this 2 teams are strong.. To make the story short.. Sunway 2 mange to get the highest mark and Sunway got the Champion for the Group base...

It was a un-expected ending.. as Sunway who is late for 15 minutes manage to grab 1st for Individual and Group round...

Dinner was turned into "fine-dining" style instead of Satay Celup... We had the best Nyonya Food in Malacca - Ole Sayang...

Since we made it so far.. Sunway-TES wishes to capitalise our achievement by throwing us a graduation prize ceremony and the PRESS...

See you at the PRESS,
Jacques

LT6 @ Sunway Uni College

Well it's the day where all Group 3 students are looking forward to.. Class at LT6.. Sunway University College most "classy" classroom..

I heard rumours that the class will be full as the everyone in Sunway who is doing CAT, ACCA, etc likes LT6.. This classroom is only available to the Hospitality, MBA and VU course which cost like RM10k+++ per semester.. So it's kinda of a wish being grant by the Admin Staff...

I was VERY disappointed about the Classroom due to the reason which be mention below... First some pictures for you to have a slight review of the LT..

Size of the Table.. (small)





The Layered-Celling








Fascinated? Although Ms. Menon ask us to be Ethical, and not complaining about things... I will publish this post as a Recommendation post...

First, The Air-conditional is not working... so it's very stuffy... The seats are close apart so you can indirectly feel your neighbour heat waves...

Second, The Seat material is HARD... One thing it's good in a way that it can keep you awake during the class... And there is no place for you arms...

Third, I do not understand the design of the celling... Why on earth you want to spend more money to place a layered-celling... I can't take the whole ceiling thingy as I'm not used to it and the whole class my head was spinning due to optical illusion created by the layered-selling...

Forth, The narrow space between the stairs and the seats are tight... Due to the optical illusion, I nearly fall down-wards when I'm nearing the stairs..

I'm very disappointed with LT6, this could be as the expectation increases, the disappointment rate increase..

P3 was in-effective today due to the wrong classroom used.. According to what I observe.. the next time if there is any classes in LT6.. It will be advisable to sit in front...

Dizzy,
Jacques

End of Fundamental Level

Yes, I have finish with my Fundamental Levels... This level is equivalent to a degree cert.

However, the result for F9 was quite disappointing... While I'm doing the paper in the examination, somehow I derived a strong feeling that i will score a prize... Just imagine the level of confidence i had place in this subject...

F7 was unexpected... First.. Question 1 and 2 i did not balance and the variance is in thousand form... question 3, 4, and 5 was kinda of scrap through... I was so afraid to fail this paper as to me it's the hardest of all...

F8 was the doomed paper to me as i never pass any internal exam for F8.. Ms. Kiran will be there saying: "You are very good student, you can get through the paper..." but my internal exam result never say the same thing to me... A Special thanks to Vanessa for the help and motivation you gave.. you did help me to overcome the stress I'm facing and now the passing mark have proven the correct study method you have tough me...

Last but not least... I'm still continuing my Professional Level.. and it's expected that i will finish my course in December... But, P Level paper will be a different story from now on.. Work harder FRIENDS.. I know you can..!!

Stressed by P2,
Jacques

Happy CNY + Valentine 2010

Since it's the Chinese New Year, I would start this post with this

送牛迎虎

Happy Chinese New Year to all who is celebrating and Happy Holidays to the rest...

Spring Cleaning is never easy.. Well as you see i'm having backache now, a terrible one.. thanks to Viva, Cleaning a car is Difficult.. So now i can understand why cars i see in Uni is never sparkling clean...

Anyway, as Valentine fall on the first day of CNY.. The only quote that i can think of:

Valentine is just a day for people who cannot value love.. A relationship should not only be shown on this day... but with you.. My Remaining Useful Life will be used Efficiently and Effectively to continue on with this journey of LOVE..

And to end this quote, Exam result will be out on the 22nd of February.. so it's kinda of destroyed the whole new year feeling and not forgetting the extreme weather everyone faces in Malaysia..

Happy CNY + Valentine,
Jacques

Viva

Welcome, Since this will be my second time blogging in the year 2010...

Well, If you have notice.. The ORANGE Viva you can spot easily outside the campus... That's mine...


And to explain the reason for getting this car would be because like what Ms.Wong say Viva is for sporty people like me...!!! *I'm Perasan-ing

Anyway to make matter worse i did add some touch up to the driver, so that he could match the SPORTY Viva, And the results...


Advantages:
- small, easy to find parking
- cute, just nice for me
- steady, the steering did not shake even you step on the accelerator to 110kmph
- A car that i can call as MY car!!

Disadvantage:
Cannot speed, as i get scared when it reaches 110kmph

To put this car into a nice picture... It's so fuel efficient... It just cost me 50 buck per week compare to my previous car which is around 70 per week...

And to the accountants out there... a car is just a mere transport to transfer you from A to B so why bother to pay extra for something that you can save on? i.e Cost of the car..

Viva owner,
Jacques
