TSD Day143: BizBuzz07 presentation!!!
FINALLY!!! the presentation!! haha! Sooo excited! and I was awaken by Daxiang at like
4am with his call from the US… haha… about the competition! haha! man!
BizBuzz07! oh yeah! haha!
Officially woke up at 615am to prepare to go to Fudan with all my stuff! Web cam, video
cam, laptops, everything! haha! man! Lucky Gary is with me! haha! Well, I am glad
that our consulting professor is there for us! haha! that certainly helped alot in terms of
morale! Also have to thank Fang Yuan for coming! Thank you sooo much! Love u all! =)
SHEN meeting
After that was SHEN meeting… Well, I guess i am too tired or sleepy… good food but not
much appetite… it’s at Shangrila’s Gui Hua Lou… we had buffett there!
Well, not everything is smooth in life… haha!
All along, I thought I was a pretty ok team player… until now… maybe I need to redefine
what does team player means.. haha! feels like I am in themiddle of 2 teams, between
BizBuzz07 (Which I am so darn proud to be part of with the other colleges) and SHEN.
Doesn’t feels too good when someone who essentially did nothing just pass some law to
the organisers without even asking for their opinions nor checking the SOPs if other similar
organisations are doing the same… But well, I guess u cant be happy with everything.

TSD Day142: Site testing for Bizbuzz!!! less than 24 hours!!!
ok! When we woke up early in the morning, its really nice to
see words of encouragement from leen and michelle! haa!
But we quickly made our way out of the house to Fudan for site testing!
Also, I quickly went to get a Logitech Webcam and Mic for 470 RMB!
don’t want to let the quality of the competition be a limiting factor
to our winning!
We had a long day… went back to home to continue our work at about
9pm… worked all the way till 2am!!! before I took a rest to prepare for the
competition tomorrow!!! Cant wait to win!!! haha!
Having a great team: The importance!
I would like to especially mention this: I am soo so grateful for having
such a competent and understanding team! I really thank everyone of
them: Alice, Hu Ying, Yilun and Gary!!!! Not only had they taken up alot
of initiative in deciding the best ways to display the content of the slides,
I also appreciate their understanding and help with the logistics for the
event! (like helping me tp put up biz buzz posters!)
For example, they helped to search for some information while I was out
bargaining with food caterers for a good price on the food for tomorrow!
I am also glade that they trusted that I am not taking my own sweet time
to do all the logistics and technical setup for the event!
It is with their understanding and teamwork that allowed be both a participant
and an organiser of the competition for Shanghai side at the same time!
Alice, Hu Ying, Yi lun, Gary, you all ROX! (^_^)

Meeting the Team!
After class, our team met to discuss more on the business plan! EXCITING!
We are individually preparing more information before we spring into brainstorming
Thursday (tomorrow) night! =)
At work!
Even at work, I spent most of my time mentally preparing for the Competition despite
having a presentation to work on for Boss! haha! man! I have difficulty concentrating!
Taking this opportunity to thank Jane for allowing to lend the company web cam! haha!
Nice!
Home!
Went to the Gym and had a run! 7.6Km. To prepare for the Terry Fox run this Sun! haha!

TSD Day139: BizBuzz07 Preparation
Today is a pretty hetic day. Not only to coordinate for Boss’ presentation
slides for the board meeting in Singapore, but also to coordinate BizBuzz07
this coming weekend.
BizBuzz07 – 72 Hour Business Case Competition
This competition is a business case competition held across the globe in the
different NUS Overseas College (including Stanford, Wharton, Fudan, KTH).
We are intending to do it real time together with the counterparts across the
globe. However, pulling myself back to reality, I am still stuck finding a venue
that can host us at 1am… for free… haha! thats the challenge!
I even approached WebEx in Shanghai, as we are using their interface.
Well, since Fudan cant accomodate us due to the timing, I guess I will next
approach our companies, then worse case will be in a internet cafe… =)
Winning
Well I think my team is strong and we are set to win! hehe! I think I will leverage
as much from the diversity of the team from both Fudan and NUS to the best
of our advantage and also to harness the different skillsets we have to make
it happen! We shall WIN!
"Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can."

TSD Day136: 昆山阳澄湖之旅!
今天去昆山!太棒了!!!!哈哈!终于终于可以吃大闸蟹了!
坐了一日游的车去!好开心!!!!
亭林园!
不过第一站会到亭林园。 那里非常适合一家大小去玩一天!而且
风景优美, 也很适合谈恋爱!哈哈!口说无凭,大家看看照片就
知道了!那里还有个小瀑布!很美!
天然蟹舫!
之后, 当然是吃大闸蟹!!! 没想到, 那里都只卖大闸蟹!!
我们每听导游的介绍。 没去“金抓舫”去了隔壁的“天然蟹舫”!
老板娘人很好!给了我们很好的价钱!蛮大的螃蟹,一对之算我们
85快!哈哈!我们吃吃喝喝才花了120快!真划算!谢谢老板娘!
大闸蟹!
螃蟹真好吃!!! 他的蟹黄好多好多!!! 天啊!吃的我脸应为
喝酒而红, 嘴因为吃蟹黄而黄! 哈哈!太好吃了!可惜其他地方
没什么肉。 跟新加坡的辣椒螃蟹有点区别。 不过这里的也很好!
3 Wheel Drive???
吃完了就到处走走。 然后看到一辆很可爱的车!哈哈!只有三个轮
的汽车! 从后面看, 还以为他的轮被盗!哈哈!
Conclusion!
之后那里其实没什么东西看或玩。。。 好闷, 所以觉得这一次
的旅游还好而已。。。

TSD Day 135: Visit to Alibaba in HangZhou!!!!
今天一大早,我就从被窝里爬出来作完了SUSHI 的Minutes之后,
就直奔上海南站!开始了精彩的一天!
坐了动车组, 很快的抵达了杭州,前往浙江大学,玉泉校区!我
遇见了Charles! 很棒!他请我吃了一顿 “靓园”午餐!还不错!
然后和张洁、Yu Xiao、徐进 见了面! 还拍下 ASES的Banner!
之后一同去阿里巴巴!见到了好多ASES 的成员!
阿里巴巴!
在那里,我们除了有阿里巴巴的Presentation 之外,也有机会参
观他们的公司!非常好玩!原来马云总裁是金庸的粉丝!不过我
只玩过《金庸群侠专》!而那里很多员工都有小说里正派人物的
小名!连房间和厕所都是小说里的地点!真有创意!可惜不能拍
照!
不过玩归玩,去那里的主要目的之一就是要看那么大的公司和企
业是怎样经营和打理的。虽然只是蜻蜓点水,可是从我个人的观
察种, 发现了一些细节不大明白真正的原因:
1。 为什么公司里的植物只有几种? 批发?风水?公司文化?
2。 公司大致上都会比较支持国内品牌, 如瓦哈哈和联想。
有没有什么特别的原因?
3。 为什么有些层/小组的办公桌,像家一样什么都有而有些
却像只是在借电脑用似的,什么也不放?不同的部门有很不同的
管理性质吗?
我好想找个机会好好的问, 可是却没什么时间。算了,想办法
法个邮件什么的吧!
吴山广场!
看完公司之后,我和Charles一起去留学生食堂!这次我请!哈哈!
然后就向吴山广场前进!等了好久都没有出租车, 最后还坐了私
家车(25 元) 那里很好玩!好多东西看!
今天好开心!
