ABCC

10 Teams, 10 Universities, 6 countries. 1 winner.

Its a crazy week where I was involved in AMbassador role in ABCC, Asian Business Case Competition. Teams had 40 hrs to complete a CASE. Im kinda glad its all over =) I have never arrived in NTU at 620am before, first time been to NEC, and seriously I can never imagine how smart some people can be. The whole week has made me feel like I am such a small shrimp in the ocean =( Time to get out of my comfort zone and face the world !

Despite the tinge of inferiority complex throughout the week, it has been great meeting and observing people, not just the foreigners but also the business solutions peeps as well. I dunno if its a fortunate or unfortunate thing to be the ambassador for the NTU team, well I guess on the whole its not so bad as I imagined.

The week kickoff on Monday with Experience Singapore. We went on the Hippo Bus in the morning, followed by Duck tour in the afternoon and dinner at Timbre. I have to mentioned again how boring the duck tour was that Ms Lui WQ had to don her shades in a bid sleep!

It feels good to be on the deck~

Julie from Germany is a super hyper gal~

Dinner was not bad, buffet and my first time at this sunstation branch due to my two past failed attempts to enter.

Seriously I was damn tired at the end of the night. All the music, mingling, games~

Roundtable lunch on tuesday. Its the first time I was in such a formal dinner, attire was formal suit and every table has to deal with a topic in relation to the Green Economy and business sustainability. My table was on Finance and it was good just seeing how the participants throw ideas over lunch. After lunch the CASE was released and it was the official start of the competition ! The mood just became so tensed up.

Finally on thursday it was CASE submission, semi-finals, and grand finals. I have the honor of watching the NTU team present, they are the first team to present. Shao Fei, Geraldine, Zhen hao and Qi Yang. They are probably one of the brightest in NBS. And I have to say Im impressed with the way Geraldine presents. She is so quick-minded and calm in the Q&A section. And their slides were professionally done. I thought they stand a chance to enter finals but well...

GALA dinner at night at ACM ! Finally a nice finale to the week =) The winner was the team from Uni of South California, kinda expected as what everyone says.
