Winning Is NOT Everything

Presenting the two BEST groups of TBS, and same class

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause to




CAPITAL YOUTHS



&



CUTTING EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw the winner Trash and Cash la. Who cares if they win or not =)

Indeed. Yesterday was one of the most memorable nights I EVER had in my life. The business plan finals came to a closing yesterday, and our group were nearly that close to getting the winner's cheque, but in the end, we somehow managed second, which to me is already more than what I could achieve. Then Li San's group also managed to get 3rd place. Congratulations to both of the groups =)

But I would consider both the groups are the true winners of the night. Why?

Coz we have absolutely, wonderfully, fantastically supportive friends who came all the way just to support both of the groups presenting, and to me, to be able to have these friends, are even way better than collecting money and instant fame.

I couldn't describe how much gratitude I had towards all of them when they came and gave us such thunderous support throughout the competition. Mind you, not only during the finals, but also during times of difficulties in our preparation beforehand. Not only them, I have a lot of others to thank for their continuous and effortless support all the way. And also, I would like to say, yesterday was a good example of true entrepreneural spirit as we congratulate and console each other, plus with the meaningful hugs and words. I'm truly blessed.

Here are the pictures of the business plan final yesterday. Guys, I have uploaded ALL of them, so just steal from here okay? =D



Capital Youths with mentor Ms.Alice.

First and foremost, the person I MUST thank is Ms.Alice, who is our mentor for this business plan. Really thanks for all the precious time that you are willing to spend time for us when we need your advice and consultation. Those sound like what a normal mentor would do, but what if I say she ran up and down just to find us venues to practice, and sms reminding us not to eat anything fried or cold drinks before the presentation? Heart of a Christian =) Thanks also for your tolerance for our "hillarious" attitude hahahahahaha. Though I know she's bit sad that we can't win the 1st prize, but I just want you to know, you are already the champion mentor of Capital Youths.




Capital Youths receiving the runner's up cheque from Ms.Joyce.

Of course, my team members who squeezed out all the brain juice just to get things done through out the presentation. Boey and Pretib with their humour just destresses all of us when we sometimes just felt so sick of our stuffs. Truly enough, all of us contributed in different manners as we aimed for the best in our business plan. All the fun that we had, and Boey so kindly offering us his house to practice which Pretib and I kinda took advantage of sometimes =P hahahahahahah kidding bros! Also Pretib with his payments for our printed stuffs, plus with all the petrol, I think can amount to RM100 lol. But it's kinda worth it in the end. =)


Capital Youths with external crew members.

They are best two deejays in TBS, KAH LEONG AND Y HAN! lol! hahahahaahhah. I must also thank you guys for offering us help in our slides as well as the lightings. Not to mention giving us useful ideas to make the presentation as grand as possible. Next time you both are our permanent crew members okay? =D




The two proud daughters with the proud father. =D

Vivian and Sara! To me, they are the most "in" girls I ever knew. Supportive and cool. Thanks for coming all the way support us in this finals, especially both of them staying so far away from Subang. Sara 200 km away in Ipoh, and Vivian also in KL. Oh did I mention, Vivian you have potential in modelling =D Promise you both a dinner okay? After leaving hehe


Yoong Siang and Lik Yung.

The two non-participative VIPs of the day lol. Yoong Siang still shows why he chose to be with us as we guarantee him the most fun. Come back to UniSA dude lol. And Lik Yung also, even you car is being serviced, you still somehow found ways to come. So it's not a problem at all that I fetched you home yesterday. Man you have a nice condominium. Next time I stay in your house k? =)


The true winners of the competition.

We are not the winners of the competition, but together, we both achieved what defines competition : the spirit of fairness and encouragements. The friendship between both groups is not affected at all by this competition, as all of us are so intimately (sounds so wrong lol) close to each other that we respect the outcome of the results whatever they may be in the end. Who says Li San is kia su? =D Thanks Li San for your encouragements as well, and not only this business plan, but also many other things that you have helped me out. You know we all love you right? ;)




Claryn the BIG Liverpool fan. XD

Hahaha. Though this Liverpool fan friend of mine always made my blood pressure go high lots of times (even Ms.Alice knows swt), but still, thanks for your support all these while okay. Thanks for your encouragements when I'm kinda down, and that God is always up there taking care of me. =) That defines a very good friend. Thanks so much! Oh yea, did I tell you, you looked real good in the dress yesterday. =)

All in all, you will also get your loaned eye-massager from me okay? lol.

The prize giver and I. =D
Happy to see this? lol. Hahahahahh. Wow, no jokes okay, she got spotted to be the presenter of the prize! See, Suet Yen's from our class also, and that shows the credentials from students in our class no matter what we do. =D And also thanks for your support yea! =)

Here are the other pictures:












































When it's serious stuff, we mean business. When it's time for fun and fooling around, we mean business also. =)

You guys really rock my socks. I wish ALL of you all the best in the finals, and after that, we shall have a huge break. Good luck!
