"this assignment due date has expired"

What you're about to see is not for the fainthearted.

2 times and dates. One of which is when we're suppose to due our assignment and the other is the time we did. It was so crazy. And to think this time, by starting early we were finally gonna screw procrastination at its face.

Sigh but it was one of those times again...

7 hours before this crisis, I was actually watching 3 episodes of One Tree Hill. That's 45 minutes per episode.. so that's 2 hours and 15 minutes of margin I could have gotten if I knew life would fuck with me at 11.55pm.

But I was also the culprit of Michelle's heart attack and Jo's close attempt to pee in her pants.. I was the last one who suppose to edit through our Corporate Finance assignment but because I thought we still had time and I only needed to go through 4 sections of the paper I took my grandmother's time to do it. And for that I got my whole body shaking along with my voice box while I was READING OUT LOUD our last minute adjustments to Michelle on the telephone.

How did we get there?

Few days ago, my friend Esuan who was doing a fundamental analysis on Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd (KLK), the same company my group was doing on, kept insisting that KLK was going on default! I was like.. "How can it possibly go on default? I've read plenty CIMB analyst reports and they are all saying BUY BUY BUY, if not HOLD HOLD HOLD. It can't possibly go on default if the professionals are saying that right?? And who are we? We're just students. You probably have forecasted it wrong"

Well, yea... after working on this assignment for one month now, at 11.45pm yesterday only I found out that our report reads KLK was going BANKRUPT in 2011.

Red. All I could see was red figures. RM20 million is a lot of money. I could buy 2 of my dream homes with this kinda money. I just can't believe I totally forgot KLK was keeping its liquidity at borderline basis. It couldn't just repay back its loan that quickly and at such a high amount. I wanted to beat myself up at times like this for not going through it thoroughly before turning on the only sex and drama I can get at this age but there was simply no time!#%$!

From time to time I find myself being tested under pressures like this. The last time I had this kinda training, it was Malaysian Tax Assignment BAB2205. Now this. Some people will never forgive themselves for putting their life at the edge but to be honest.. I give myself some credit sometimes.. lol... I would imagine myself working in a tough company in the future, my company :) and I would be like the most important person in the office and edge-of-the-seat moments like this would be normal for me.. So when I do survive from this, I'll give myself a virtual pat and say,"take it as a training, baby". Hahaha of course I'm not saying I should test my luck every time I'm given a test... one day I'm sure to fall and then I don't know what imagination my head is gonna have to whip up to comfort myself.

Maybe I'll face another paradigm shift and finally learn to love chocolates.

Till then I'm just gonna find ways to burn down TMnet for killing my internet at 11.56 because when Jo and I was finally done correcting the default issue and as soon as I transferred the corrected file to Michelle, the internet died. But I was like *PHEW* at least that got across... UNTIL SHE CALLED ME AND SAY IT DIDN'T.

My brains hit HALT but my heart was pumping like a machine. 11.56 and we were due at 11.59. I called Michelle quickly and I told her I would read to her the adjustments. I read quickly because I knew there was not enough time but the faster I read the more inaudible I get and Michelle just couldn't catch my corrections. So I had to read slowly although I was pushing to speed. It was sooo torturingggg! It was like watching a person take 1 minute to scoop a spoon of sugar into your coffee! But the clock was ticking and I was THIS-CLOSE to screwing the corrections and just fucking turninit already but my heart was screaming "NO! SHE CAN DO IT!"


So I held back and even read Michelle the corrections I made for something that wasn't even material but I wouldn't miss it out if I could. And at 11.58 Michelle click "UPLOAD". We thought we had it settled but when the webpage reloaded.. we still had to click "SUBMIT" and we were screaming OMG OMG OMG!! over the phone at the same time praying to 20 million invisible shooting stars I can imagine ... and finally we made it :)


I. would. have. so. killed. myself.

Sorry guys >< *patspats* good training? :3
