Its the AB213 Oral Defense for the Research Proposal today! Clearly, our oral defense was a major flop. The tutor scrutinized every single slide and gave negative comments for 90% of the slides. Alright... Best... Hahaha... But luckily, we got B+. She promised to be lenient since we are the first group and didn't know what to do for the research proposal. Subsequent groups who commit any mistakes will be penalized. Haha...

I think her way of grading makes more sense than the marketing tutor who graded based on comparsion of the presentations of the first group to the rest of the groups who clearly has a competitive advantage over the earlier teams by learning from the formers' mistakes. Oh well, the tutor made sense although she criticized us pants down. I can't imagine the marketing tutor teaching research methods. He will just say oh the proposal is very good... and in the end the whole report screw up because the initial proposal is not really very good and is not well defined. So in a way, I can imagine his research methods class suffering big time and getting lousy grades for a very heavy 40% weightage project. But of course, its just my hypothetical comment, it may not be true.

I am very shag because I haven't been getting enough sleep lately. This research proposal drains all my time for catching up with my tutorials. My tax tutorials are lagging behind big time. But I was surprised that I could like do most of the tax tutorial questions for today's seminar impromptu-ly on the spot when the tutor walked around the class asking for answers. Everyone thought that I was pro when I told the tutor the recovery of general provision for trade debt is not taxable because in the first place the expense incurred for a general provision is not deductible, so when you recover it makes sense that the receovery or income receipt is not taxable also mah. Haha... Like its sorta cause and effect logic which I think anyone can understand. So aiya... I am not pro man. Hahaha... I must proudly say I saved the class today again because the tutor slammed the whiteboard duster in agony when there was silence to her questions. Haha... Okie... I better stop hao lian-ing. Haha...

Time to rest. Yawnz... To end off, I shall leave everyone with this phrase: We lose to learn how to WIN!!! Don't give up!!
