(no subject)
just before the semester is about to close, i finally appreciate being in group b.
initially i felt that i was jus damn sway to tio group B. and not only that, jus damn sway to have all my presentations crammed up. everything jus felt v v v cui.
but then i began to realise that i was not alone. all the other group b-ers had their presentations crammed up one after another too. all of us jus couldn't run away from it.
recognising that, there wasn't any point in complaining to one another anymore. everyone was jus as cui as everyone else. we began encouraging and supporting each other instead - because we all knew - we all knew how tough and tiring this period of time has been for all fellow group b-ers.
before my marketing presentation (which we were all, by then, already on the brink of pulling our hair out) i received an sms qiong kuan: "hey gals, jiayou for ur presentation!" well, she wasn't from my marketing tut class, but nevertheless, it felt so... heartwarming.
then after our presentation, the presenting came together, put our hands into the centre of the circle and did a hugehuge WHOOSH. there was no competition, no rivalry (ok perhaps its because we both got the same grade), just the spirit of wanting both teams to do well.
then during the 2nd week it was zhanghao/carynl's team to present. they weren't from my tut class, but we jus kept wishing them good luck and jiayou all over again. and they must have appreciated it because they gave us the assurance back by cheering themselves on. and it wasn't only for marketing. carynl and i kept jiayou-ing each other during ob last week.
then this week was ivan's team in the next tut class. and i instinctively sent a msg to all their group members to jiayou. then while i was practising ob at a tut room, suddenly i was reminded that i should find out the results of their presentation. and so i walked all the way from my tut room to TR125 where there were, waiting patiently for them to emerge from the classroom and tell me their results. but i guess i was too early. went back to ob, then came out another 10min later again to check them out.
now there they were, crowding around each other, peering into that precious sheet of paper. A+!! i jumped up in joy together with them, like as if their team was my team. but i really did feel happy for them :)
engsim's team was the other presenting team of the day in the other marketing class. same thing applied - encouragement and more encouragement over and over again.
i find it really amazing. i really didn't expect that kind of level of support amongst the group b-ers.
projects and presentations gelled us well. hah.
