Third Term

Dear friends,

 

Before I run off for my meeting with some staff, I thought I will spend some time with you here.

 

The month of May started with me paying $8,050 being the third instalment of my MBA school fees using my credit card. Technically already late due to me dilly dallying over which credit card I should apply or use to get some cash rebates or points ie. to maximise the discounts. Finally I proceeded with my existing card after considering the additional effort needed (which I can't afford) to apply for a card from Standard Chartered.

What is the main programme for third term? Firstly, one more exam (hopefully) which I really really dread to prepare. Why? I have to read two gigantically thick books. I postponed twice already. But I will definitely work towards August exam. I also awaiting my results for Operations Management exam.

 

Secondly, I will be attending my final compulsory weekend class on Strategic Consulting in Practice this weekend. It starts 2 pm on Friday and ends on Sunday 5pm. So weekend is effectively BURN.

 

Thirdly, while most of my classmates have signed up for 2 electives already, some of us (definitely including Edgar) have not committed to any. What is an elective? A particular course which you can choose from a list of courses being run over a few centres such as KL, HK, Dubai, Scotland etc etc.

 

Lastly, another big requirement awaiting for me to fulfill is to write a thesis of twenty thousands words which I have not even thinking about at this point in time. This would be my project for 2012.

 

So till the next posting. You will see me posting here if I am bored this weekend.

 

Take care, my dear friends.
