Well, the sabbatical week was certainly great! Really really learnt a lot of things this time round. Although it was only about the basics in investing, it is certainly relevant to Economics, one of the subjects that I'll definitely pursue when I go to JC.
On Thursday and Friday we had virtual stock market trading. It was quite fun watching the stocks jump up and down like mad. This one was particularly shocking that it gave us the bumps when it plummeted at around 4:30 PM:
The overall atmosphere at Computer Lab 5 was really quite "on", everyone were like checking out and monitoring the stocks ever so closely. Due to the fact that we were not using a stock market simulator (information were just stored in regular Excel spreadsheets), some people were able to scam through, but the irregularities were only spotted during the presentation time. Oh, and before I forget, the other of my group members are Kwang Chian and Vernon (from Sec 3). Yeah so our group was the mass-Sec 4 group that is the most imba xD
The whole thing resulted in a $969 profit in SGD (virtual cash, of course! What do you expect :D), investing in 6 Malaysian stocks and 3 Singaporean stocks. Kwang Chian was a super-aggressive buyer lol. I had one stock which resulted in a 70 cents profit (AND in Ringgit) after GST and commission were subtracted from the original RM100 profit.
Ah! and I woke up at 7:20 AM today LOL. But I wasn't considered late haha. Thanks to the JC uniform, the NCC cadets who were in charge of catching latecomers didn't catch me and I just basically disguised a JC student xD
During sabbatical week I saw Marzie on Thursday lols. But she didn't notice because the whole bunch were posing for photos and it's also probably that I was wearing that JC uniform. Haha.
But sadly the sabbatical week also marks the end of the "playing time" - I still have Physics and Chemistry test on Thursday and Friday respectively, and thereafter full time mugging. Well, I may go into hiatus thereafter, but who knows; I may still have interesting stuff to say. Ah well and I need to prepare for my second Publicity Workshop soon.
