Chung Ling Handball Game

My name was actually on the list of the handball team of my class but seriously, I got no idea about the rule, the game and anything about it. During PE lesson, it’s either basketball or soccer for me but no handball. They put my name for fun and so because of my name was on the list, I went to check out the handball competition that is organized by the school cooperative last weekend.

My friend yet my teacher, told me that that day will rain by reading the atmospheric pressure on his Tissot Touch watch the day before, but then it’s a clear sunny day. The pressure thingy was wrong though.

There’s 7 or 8 in a team, where each has to pay RM4 for the competition. It’s more likely a money making business for the club than encouraging sports among school student, yet there’s cash prize for the champion. =) Unfortunately, the team I was in doesn’t get the champion, instead it’s the 2nd team in my class win. I did a wrong investment and lost RM4.

There’s a ball flew onto “what we call that place? the roof?” and a spidey boy was so brave to climb up there, take the ball and jump back down. Try this at your own risk, you will break your bones if you don’t have the skill to do spidey tricks.

I kinda scared when sitting on the ground near the goal post because at anytime, the ball might flew to me and I will not be aware of that, not myself that get the pain but the camera. Luckily, there’s no such accident happened.

Well, the highlight of the day was just playing ball. Sorry for I am not into handball or other games, it’s just not my type, maybe badminton interest me. =)

This is not the ball for playing handball. It’s actually a TV remote that my football fanatic friend bought in the UK. It looks quite cool, but I wouldn’t want a remote to roll around my living room, but football fan will sure like it.

Do you handball?

St John Flag Day

It’s St John Flag Days yesterday and the day before yesterday. No I am not a St John Ambulance member. MY friend is but he didn’t really like this kind of thing so he got the coin box, put a few coins into it and just keep it into the bag.

(Fang Juinn with the coin box.)

I myself like this kind of thing as I can walkaround and interact with peoples. Still remember few years back, I went to helped out for the Salvation Army flag day and I still remember it’s kinda fun. =D

What do you think?

very funny and fun.
You should get one too, moreover it’s getting cheaper.

Lunch at Leo Forum 2008

This should be a long ago post but I’ve forgotten to upload the photo. I was bored just now and I scrolled through my photo album in the computer and found a lot of the Leo Forum photos in Ipoh a month ago, so I might as well to upload it up and post it here and share with everyone.

Lunch was provided but it’s not very interesting to me because it’s just a normal buffet lunch with not interesting food. Just quickly scooped up and eat all the food, I and other members went walking around saying Hi to everyone and eventually took photos with some of them.

Leo member tends to do a little business where there’s a lot of people. They sell badges which cost as little as RM3 and as much as RM15. I have never bought any of that in any of the Leo Forums I have participated.

Personally, I prefer getting it for free rather than spent in on the badges which are then to clip on the vest which signifies how active or how many activity have you attended. I got a little badges only because mine are like keep dropping, so I just might as well take it down.

There’s nothing much to do there except eat, talk, receives awards and socialize. So basically it’s a big social gathering which involve people from all over of Malaysia.

Penang Citi Stock Challenge at USM

Well, I had been gone away from school for 2 days to the Universiti Sains Malaysia for attending some sort of workshop and little competiton and it’s the Citi Stock Challenge. 9 students from the Young Enterprise club and I’m part of the 9 went there.

So what is this Citi Stock Challenge is about engaging students into the market trade world, how it works, how to invest, knowledge on stocks and market, etc etc. Basically, it teaches you how to be a broker and eventually run a brokerage firm.

It’s better than going to school as the whole event started at 8.30am which means that I can wake up a bit later than the normal school days. There’s about 20+ schools’ students taking part in this workshop, not everyone get to come, it’s only the chosen one. Hohoho.

The first day was kinda bored, it’s all about listening on the talks, how it works, what is it about, how to run a brokerage firm, it’s like a whole day long lesson in the lecture hall in the university. I know nothing about stocks at first and that’s why I paid my concentration most of the time.

The interesting time comes the next day where the stock market game starts. It’s a non-uniform day where we don’t need to wear our own school uniform instead we actually need to make our own costume or a theme wear or so-called our own brokerage firm uniform.

I am not a girl, I don’t have that kind of mind to think about fancy dresses and so we opt for professionalism look, black polo tee and jeans. =D My friend, Tee Jin and Bernard didn’t have black pole tee and I have to borrow mine to them.

Before the virtual stock market start, we arrived early at the scene to set up our little office that made up of 3 desk. Table cloth, pen holders and stationery were brought. I got no idea how to decorate our office, it’s very simple, neat and tidy with a few oranges on the desk as our company was the Orange Brokerage Firm.

The startup money for our investment business was $1000, in the middle of the games, bonus money were given too for having their own business card, name tags, decorations, costume and blablablabla. We were just hanging a pair of oranges around the neck and we also get the bonus money for costuem. Great right?

There’s several round where we can buy the stocks, each round we were given a set of newspaper articles to read about how’s the market is doing and stuff like that, we will then decide which and what to buy. It’s 3 in a team, or a “firm”, though it’s like we a few teams have already talk and discuss about which and what to buy so all our stocks were like actually almost the same.

We thought that it will have like 8 rounds as the screen showed we got 8 AP headlines of different timeline, though we only 4 rounds. Things got messier as rounds goes on, we got more cash, more stock, more records and paperworks to do and this is where multitasking mind comes in. We buy almost every stocks, didn’t figure about it for long and just buy, buy, buy. Luckily, this buying craziness made us $7540 from the startup money $1000. The most earning team got 8k, and we were the 2nd in the boys team.

When the winner were announced, it says “it’s a team, with colour and it’s a fruit”, I was like OMG, it’s us, it’s us, the Orange Brokerage Firm. Yes it is and at first I thought we wouldn’t make it to the stage because there’s A team that had higher amount of earning than us, but overall we were 2nd for that in the boys group. Who cares which place I get, as long as I get onto the stage, I am already happy about it.
