Competition III - HSBC Asia Youth Entreprenuer Awards 2010. Last year I joined the competition with Chi-Wynn and we managed to make it to the second round, just two steps away from entering into the Malaysia Finals and then to Hong Kong in the regional finals. Last year we had the liberty of time and managed to deliver a project which to our opinion is satisfactorily. However despite that we still lost due to the immature decision in the preliminary stage of the competition where we blantantly chose a topic which did not suit our business plan.
Last year, the competition has been great and I had few blog posts to talk about it since last year. Firstly, we were all excited when the result was announced last year and we made it to the 2nd round from the 100+ teams that submitted their ideas. Then, we attended the National Youth Entreprenuer Convention where many aspiring young entrepreneurs listen to motivating speeches from our counterparts who had made it big in their life. Next, the result was announced in TheStar and it's great to see my name in the newspaper. After that, we worked hard for the competition and submitted them days before the deadline. Lady luck was not on ourside as we didn't make it to the final.
This year, we decided to enter the competition with a more practical business idea. We believed we had a great idea but unfortunately this time, time was premium and came as a luxury. Both Chi-Wynn and I are in our final year and it was difficult to devote some time to the competition. We were left with no choice as we could not find a suitable person to join our team. In the end, the quality of the work submitted was not up to our expectations.
Despite all that, when the result was announced, we were glad (ok not so glad) to be given Certificate of Merit, awarded to teams who have presented a memoritous work but deemed not good enough to make it to the finals. If only we had more time, we could have been in the finals. Nevertheless, the award of RM1000 would surely come in handy, ain't it? The competition was recently featured in TheStar.

| Competition II -SAC Sports day is an annual event organized by the Sunway ACCA Club. Last year I participated in the basketball 3 on 3 tournament with Jun Fei, Vincent and Jia Yun. It was a nice game though but unfortunately we lost during the first round to Wyn Yau's team. It's a nice and competitive game though.
The competition was divided into preliminary group stage and then the knockout stage. In the group stage ala world cup style, each group consists of 3 teams. Unfortunately only 1 team would qualify for the knockout stage i.e. semi final. It's a real shame that such arrangement would mean that by losing the first game, it would not allow the team a chance to redeem theirselves at the second round, as it would be difficult to make it to the knockout stage.
The sun was blazing hot on that day, I was literally roasted. Click Read More to watch the recordings of both the match which I played as well as a glimpse at my 'roasted' skin.

| Been joining lots of competiton nowdays. Let's start with this one.
Competition I
The Intervarsity Accounting Quiz.
It was organized by MMU Melaka and Sunway has won the team category in previous years so the pressure mounts on us to bring back the trophy. I joined the team category together with Lih Yen, Cheng Hong, and Andrew.
It's a long story but in the end, my team managed to get 2nd runner up while Viva's team emerged as the eventual champion. Kudos to the Sunway team as Yee Seang emerged as the champion of the individual category so we sort of grabbed almost every prizes available.

| I was driving to college one day on the KESAS expressway and I came across this RX8 with a super large twin exhaust pipes. If my automotive knowledge serves me right, the size of exhaust pipe should not be too small or too big, but just to ensure sufficient back pressure to the engine. So really I wonder what sort of modifications have been done to deserve that large exhaust pipes. Normally, I would consider an exhaust pipe to be large if a 325 ml Coca-Cola can could fit into it but as for this car, I guess even the 1.5 litre Coca-cola bottle would fit in it.
Just look closely, the exhaust pipe is as large as the rear lamp.
