The finals
It's the cashflow finals!
I'm not particularly nervous, because I don't really aim to win. I just want to have fun.
It's weird because the people at my table were so friendly. We were helping one another throughout the game that felt funny to be so helpful. After all, it's still a competition.
But then again, their friendliness only made the game more fun and less competitive. Not as stressful as I thought it would be.
When my passive income hit one million dolllars, I thought I was already quite good because for the prelims, one million was really high.
But I forgot that this was the finals and that I was playing with the best.
In the end, first place had a passive income of 28 million, 2nd: 26 million and 3rd: 7 million.
So my results weren't that good after all.
Anyways, I had fun and there was this really cute girl at my table. She was so nice to everybody and was quite funny. I think it was because of her that our game became so much fun!
And, there was this handsome guy I saw today!
Also saw him during Camp Ideapolis, but it's a different guy I was talking about in that previous post.
Kim and I also saw this guy on the MRT on the day of training. Haha.
And today, he was going from table to table to see how everyone was doing. When he came to our table, he sat down for a while and talked to me and another girl because the others were buzy calculating some stuff.
Didn't really asked much about him cos it didn't feel right then. But halfway, he asked "you're from VJ right?" Then I asked "How you know?" (Secretly hoping that he had been noticing me as well. Haha. I'm mad!) Then he pointed to a slip of paper with all our names on it.
Chey! He saw the paper! No wonder! Made me so paiseh.
But then again, how did he know my name? Haha. But I didn't ask in case it made me seem desperate. Haha.
At the end of the competition, we each received a certificate of participation and had to go up to receive it.
And guess what? That guy was the one giving out the certs.
So I had the chance to shake his hand. Haha! Don't know why I'm so hapy about such little things.
His hand was really big and strong and his handshake was very firm. He said something to me but I didn't really hear, much less reply. Must have been something like "Congratulations" or "Thanks for coming".
After the whole competition, I decided to go to work although I was so terribly tired. I was totally knocked out on the MRT. I didn't even know when the lady sitting on my right alighted and a guy sat beside me. No wonder I was shocked when I woke up to see that the pretty lady transformed into a fat guy. Haha.
But I woke up just in time to aloght at CIty Hall.
Today, I made chocolate chip cookies, cut the oh so yummy blueberry cheesecake, washed oranges and some other stuff I can't remember.
And I ate loads of log cake too! Because the cake shop couldn't sell it this week and it was expiring soon. Haha. There were loads of food to eat today.
There's this chef who calls me mei nu (pretty lady) all the time. Haha. I know he's only joking la but it makes me so happy! Haha.
And at the end of the day, Fen gave me some of the chocolate cookies I made to bring home! Haha. She's so nice!
And I'm glad that I went to work although I was so tired today! It was loads of fun!
