Last Monday, My team and I went for the qualifying round for the BEST entrepreneur challenge at republic polytechnic. When i was introducing our team that we’re representing EY, everybody was like "wooowww…." anyway, we just wanted to have fun and like everybody body else.. to have a half-day off!! =P

I recalled some companies that joined the qualifying round with us, among others: DBS bank, Far East insurance, Standard Chartered bank and Flextronics (i remember coz I sent confirmation for one of my client, and the Company didn’t reply to the confirmation, end up we need to do alternative procedures ><)

our team name is FALM Inc. which stands for First Asia Leading Market Insurance (in case somebody ask =P), but it’s actually come from our team members’ name (Felicia, Angela, Lisa and Michael) ^^

The game is about insurance business, we have run an insurance company and to gain cummulative highest profits and market shares for a period of 10 years. it’s a business simulation game played in about 2.5 hours.

I think the game was very exicting, coz at the first 3 years, we only got into the 8th position (out of 15 teams), and at the 4th and 5th year, we were not even in the top 10. But at the 6th year, we changed our stagegy and jump into the 6th position. at the 9th year, we are in the 5th. The pressure was on, as we need to be in the big 4 in order to go to the semifinal. So the last 10th year was the one that will determined whether we are in or not, then after we keyed-in our premium and commision, and the computer start calculating the result, guess what… we made it to the next round!!! yay! so happy about it. ^^

Tomorrow will be the semi-final and it’s 10 in the morning! hope everybody can wake up. All my team members asked me to morning call them. hmm… actually i have a problem to wake up early also, but being a good team leader..i can only say ‘Ok, sure no problem. I’ll morning call u guys on Thursday."

So, hopefully tomorrow I can wake up early and get some coffee before the competition begin. (My mind doesn’t really working in the morning).

Wish me luck (^_^)v
