Of Friends Rekindling

In London ones I mean… Full details below. It's ok if you're annoyed that charmine is just rambling non-stop coz hehe… today I'm too happy to bother too much =)

Feeling : Tired but happy

Listening to : Shayne Ward - If That's Ok With You.

Study : P1 Professional Accountant & P3 Business Analysis Mock today.

Morning dragged myself out of bed to go to college. Weather was so cold I'd rather tucked in bed longer… but dear old mock exam is going on so I should leave my nice warm bed and hurry on.

P1 mock was fairly alright. Well that's coz I knew what was coming out so I juz read those ones. Chehhhh pi la charmine. But I juz cant believe that 3 out of 4 questions is on risk management. Like, dude where are the ones from board of directors or NEDs (non-executive directors). I think there's bound to be a question on them in the real paper lo.

P3 was crap. I literally bull my way throughout the paper… Compulsory question I used the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats) n PESTEL (political, economic, social, technological, environmental, legal) model coz I couldn't remember Porter's Value Chain, 5 Forces or Mendelow (what charm u still cant master that??)

Wait wait! I'm not that stupid after all… as of last night, I conquered Ansoff! Wooo hooo… take that, smart-ass-who-sat-beside-me-in-class-n-kept-bugging-me-coz-i-cant-decipher-ansoff! Ahemmm… Ansoff matrix is about placing your corporate strategy on the grid, be it a new product and/or new market, ie. market penetration, diversification, etc. Muahaha I feel smart now. Ok la that's baby stuff for u guys but for my teeny weeny brains, it's a lot d…. hehe…

Enuff bout exams and boring stuff. Let's get down to business (Which can be even more boring lol)

I met so many friends that I haven't seen for a while. Ok 6 diff people in 6 diff situation is a lot in big ol' London k? Here goes…. BIG HUGS to you lot!

1. I met Amit aka zee Sould Seared Dreamer after mock. I admit I was pretty shy but i have to say, he's humourous and speak such good English with a distinct British accent! Anywayz it was nice to see you again after so long =) All zee best for exams!

2. Btw I met Theresa Campbell as well, which was her birthday today. Happy Birthday! She didn't recognized me coz I looked so different. Ok I wore glasses today in uncomb hair n I have spots n scars. Boo I look so dorky.

3. While walking home I met CY. Ok, Sher & Joy, this is our moment. *Sigh* *swoons*. The smart, yeng, cute nerd which was my 1^st friend in London. Nice Singaporean Chinese who's on scholarship to study engineering in Imperial. Fuyoh top 5 Uni in the world! We then walked together to church for student tea before evening service. Chatted on zee way of course. Boy, it was 6 months since we last had a proper conversation. Him going back to Spore n me Msia.

4. Guess who sat opposite of me in student tea. Blek wrong. CY was at another corner. Lukas Lisanik & Rachel whom I'm never met since the student focus group to British Museum. That's like more than a month!

5. Halfway through student tea, guess who called. Wrong again. Hello CY is at the same room la. Hahaha… it was Malou, my friend from the Philippines who's staying in North London. She and her husband, Dave a British, was near church so they decided to drop by. We havent met since that trip to Bath & Stonehenge!

6. Before heading home I met Salaam Kamara at the church doorway. Whom I havent met since House Party. He also didn't recognize me at 1st. Do I really look that different as compared to my Facebook profile pic?

Let's make a comparison.

Hah. Vain.

P.S. That's my hand holding my long hair behind. Optical illusion eh?
