buisness plan.

So today was the final day of Career 'Week'. Was looking forward to the Advertising talk but due to unforseen circumstances, Yasmin Ahmad couldn't make it. Talk about a bunch of dissapointed students. So in the end I went for the 'Taking Chances' talk by Greg's dad. All I learnt is that Greg's dad's life is really interesting with 3 near death experienes and traveling across US and from London back to Malaysia on a Harley Davidson. Sounds so cool.....I also wanna try!!!

Food buisness was quite funny. Marketing was okay but the woman droned on and on for so long. And you know the funny thing is, that people like Greg's dad and the DELIcious guy who are doing so well now, either don't have a degree or a totally irrelevant degree to what their doing now. So during the Q & A sessions, you could see that the PTA had to ask questions so that the speakers would tell us how important education is. Quite funny actually.

Concerning the 30-Hour Famine. We finally got an answer from Mrs. Chan today. It's a NO. Cause apparently we are such a high profile school with high profile parents who will sue the school if anything happens to their precious darling children during the 30 hours without food. I mean to a certain extent I can see what she's gettin at but if we make eveyone sign the consent form I don't see a problem. After all, it's not like we're going to force people to not eat. It's their choice and their parents choice on whether anot they'll be allowed to go. We have given everything to Ms. Harriet and she'll be reviewing it. So I hope she'll say yes tomorrow. After all, does she think we have the luxury of time? We'll totally be behind schedule if we don't get an answer tomorrow.

We have thought of 2 back-up plans. One is that we just do 8 hours in school if Mrs. Chan will let. Get the students to do the activities and what not and then go home later so at least we won't need to stay over at school. Sounds like a good idea but the students might find it quite troublesome to come and go. They'll also have to find their own transport to Bukit Jalil for the countdown if we can't get buses.

The other plan is to do it at another venue. Problem here is the rental fee and whether anot other places will allow us to stay over at the place. What's more I don't know how it'll be if the girls and guys will be allowed to sleep in the same room.


Argh!!!! Mrs. Chan!!!! If you had only said yes we wouldn't have this problem!!!!!
