    Heart attack of the year
    Wednesday, February 06, 2008
    Yeah, as the title suggests, my first heart attack of the year.
    And what a way to welcome the Chinese New Year.

    I had a business communications project which is co-interlinked with my microeconomics project. So, basically it's the same project yet they are marking it under different criteria. However, this is a pair-work assignment.

    In my microeconomics class, one team has to either do in threes' due to the odd number in class. Thus, Sook Chen, Celeste and I were happily grouped together under the priviledge of being the only threes' in class.

    Never did we knew that for business communications, it STILL has to be in PAIRS.

    I admit I didn't do much for this project as I'm weak in microeconomics so mostly Sook Chen and Celeste did the job. I did requested to help them in the report but due to time constraints, I didn't helped in the end.

    So, the heart attack was:
    My business communications lecturer called my phone at a happy hour of 11.40PM because she couldn't reach Celeste and informed me that our project could not be accepted since we had to work in pairs!!! So, one of us had to do the project AGAIN!!

    Immediately, I knew the person was me because as mentioned earlier on, I wasn't really involved in the project.

    And I was asking her if I could use the same article yet she couldn't compromise. It may be due to the marking scheme. 
    She did gave me a deadline to submit, on 14th February. 

    Therefore, I panicked. Luckily Sook Chen and Celeste offered me help. I got a shock of my life, you know. At that hour, at that point of time and especially when you know that there's a Chinese New Year coming on and there will be exams approaching.

    Thus, I kan-chiongED. Literally.
    I started work right after and slept at around 2am. I'm supposed to sleep at around 12.30am ok!

    Feeling a little lost, I text messaged her whether I can use a different article with the same topic. I was hoping she say yes the next day and my heart was thumping so much before sleeping.

    Funny thing is, usually I wake up at 10am+
    Surprisingly, this "shock" made me woke up at 8.30am and let me start my work as my target deadline is Saturday. I was planning to focus my whole entire week on studies next week.

    And then, I started on my report, done with a page when the minimum criteria of the page was 1 or was it 2?

    Then about 10am, she called me.

    She told me that she had discussed with the other lecturers, and decided to let me off. Meaning, I need not have to do it again and will be marked accordingly for the previous one "we" did.

    That was PHEW.

    However, my eye bag and what I've done has gone down the drain. I've done this stupid project in vain. Then she tells me I don't have to do it again .

    I'm really .____________.

    Worse-still, she keeps reprimanding "us" saying that we shouldn't keep quiet about it.
    I kept saying we didn't know, we didn't know.
    Yet she keeps misunderstood that we should have told her earlier on.

    This incident will definitely be memorable during my years in NP.
    Many good years ahead...
