1st Week of School
This sem I am taking Analysis of Equity Investment, FIIM, Ethics, Doing Biz in China and Monetary Economics.
FIIM was my first class for this week. The prof is new to SMU, she's Prof Karen Gan. Worked 10 years as a corporate banker. She's really cool laz...our class was like from noon to 3.15pm and she can give a topic at 2pm and told us she expects a presentation 25 min later. She say that's how hectic life can get in the banking world. U do ur research within a week and present your findings to a panel of bosses. At first I tot it would have been disasterous to do that every lesson but then I realise, everything she want us to do, is merely to make us better workers in future. (YuHui is getting better at looking at things on the brighter side.)
Then it was Doing Business in China. Oh man! I so love this course! It;s so interesting!!!!!! Do you know how many graduates are churned out of China in a year? The population of the entire Singapore!!! You noe how many members are there in their political party? 15 times of Singapore's population!!! Shanghai has a population 4 times of Singapore's! It's interesting just getting to know China and how HUGE the market is over there. Makes me more interested in my Beijing internship this coming summer.
Then it was Monetary Economics. I wouldn't say it is the most interesting course this sem but I would still say it's a typical Economics major kinda course and the last time it was taught was 2 years ago. Just glad to be able to take up this class :) And my prof is interesting loz :)
The last lesson of the week was Analysis of Equity Investment. The prof looks like a no-nonsense kinda person although he do crack a few jokes once in a while la. The textbook is awfully thick but he says it is a vv good book if you are interested in valuating investments in future. It's freaking ex at $61.50! But it's more expensive if you buy it outside..ahhaa..ard 100 over ba.
I haven had my Ethics class yet but there's a lot of readings to be done...better read up for class participation....
Oh Oh!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO ERNEST!!!!!! Gotta noe that Ernest is graduating this semester (he's my batch! 2 sems earlier than me la...) and he has already landed himself a job!!! Investment banking at Citigroup!!!!!!!!!!!! My goodness~!!!! He say he has been grinning himself silly these few days coz he feels blessed...but seriously...upon hearing the news, I M GRINNING MYSELF SILLY AS WELL!!! happy to know that your fren has landed his dream job.
Ernest, I know you say you hope to see me dere too, but cannot la..my GPA is really shitty..I can only say..I can meet you for lunch near your office in future...hahaha..that's the nearest I can get to you! and of coz provided that u haf time!
