Woke up at 0730hrs to wash up and meet up Wendy at Serangoon MRT station. Took 95 outside MOE building and missed the stop and had to backtrack 200m hah. Sorry dear have to make you walk with me under the sun for 7min 20sec. We were one of the first few to reach there. I didn't know registration was needed and hence Wendy could not get in, sorry once again Li Ling. Made her wake up so early, then reach there cannot get in. She went to the nearest food court to have her breakfast, then bought the new paper.

The event started at 1000hrs. We were greeted by both the NTU Investment Club and NUS Invest Group President before the commencement of the challenge. 1st round was a 45 questions MCQ testing the participants' knowledge on Citi and SGX history, financial questions, stock/UT questions and some history of the great investors like Warren Buffet and John Bogle. 2nd round was a speed round consisting of 30 questions with 30sec for each question.

After the lunch, the results were announced. Unfortunately, we did not get into the top 5 teams. We remained seated to view the final round. Some of the questions in the final round were ridiculously hard. Fortunately, we did not get in lol. We left shortly after.

Well, always treat competition with an open mind. Loss is insignificant, whats importance is the participation and experience gained. I saw the poor organisation of the event, poor selection of MCs. So, I am still glad I participated.

It was around 2pm when we left NUS for Marina Square for our lunch at Sakae Sushi. After the heavy lunch, Wendy and I decided to proceed home for rest as she is not feeling well after yesterday's home-cooked dinner by her. Poor girl. Don't be sad ok? I like the prawn and vegetable! hee... and I ate 2 1/2 bowls of rice :) Jia you k!
