Day One
From last week’s fun week with P1, we went to a 360 turn to a serious company, namely Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad. Finance! Shares! Of all the things in the world, it must be one of the things that I do not like the most...
Finance.
I know, I am an ACCA graduate and I am suppose to be having the advantage in this task but no. I detest finance. Wait, that’s not right. I LOATHE finance.
Not knowing our team or task this week was also horrible. We had absolutely nothing to use to do any form of research before we walk into the company.
We arrived, got a super short tour of the place and then we were just waiting there for the announcement. Mr. Chan was about to announce the team as well as the task. Kancheong giler! And it was the girls versus the guys week! We predicted that this would happen. Then there was the announcement of the task. We were given RM1 million to invest in shares and we were suppose to create a portfolio and justify why we decide to invest in the shares we picked.
We went through a short training session. I swear I was just pretending to understand what in the world the dude was talking about because I have no bloody idea what the hell is he saying. I have an ACCA reputation to keep up people! I was even more lost after the training than before!
Then we were to discuss with a mentor provided. Thank god for Jasmine who knows what she’s doing. End of the day we had our shares and delegated what we are suppose to do.
That night it was hell on earth. Minimum relax hours, maximum stress doing what I hate most in the world...
Research...
Day Two
Started early. I woke up at 6 to finalise my slides. We were all stressed out with the amount of work still left to finalise in the morning.
We had a shooting and we finally understood the phrase “Time is Money”. We girls were literally counting down every minute that we were standing downstairs waiting for the crew to set up. We took the time to relax a bit, snap some pictures and found out our prize for the week...
An account with KIBB with a starting balance of RM3000! Holy mother it is RM3k!
That was plain motivation to work even harder to perfecting our presentation and facts making sure that there are no loopholes in what we were presenting.
While we were having lunch, Jason and Ismail actually came over and asked us whether the girls would like to go present first. Well, of course we didn’t want to. We could use that extra 1 hour to prepare! A bit mean but then it is 3 freaking thousand!
Presentation. Damn I was nervous as hell! I guess I soooo screwed up my part but. It was messy as hell and my flow was just wrong. I believe I have just humiliated myself in front of the entire nation.

Day Three
As usual day 3 is results day. Judging from
the guy’s expressions after the girls’ presentation, we were pretty sure that
we would be winning. But then there was a doubt that the guys were playing mind
games. We didn’t wanna put our hopes high up and just have it ripped down to
the bottom.
Results were nerve wrecking! In the end...
*drumrolls*
We did it! RM3000 muddafuggas! Best part is that the girls defeated the guys and Jason’s winning streak!

During judging, our strategy was for
everyone to talk and try to get 4 job offers. Mr. Chan’s comment was that I was
nervous during the presentation till at some point he thought that I was going
to hyperventilate and faint. Aw man! At that point I thought that I wasn’t
gonna get a job offer.
But then he said my financial calculations were very impressive. Aw shucks...
We gotten the best compliment that anyone could ever get. Bruce mentioned that there was nothing negative that he could comment about for us. Coming from him, it was the best thing ever because he was usually the one who finds out the little small details and comments on them. So what he told us, we were happy shit man!
Then Mr. Chan said, “Emmy, Jasmine, Janice and Reshma, we are giving our four job offers to you” or something like that.
4 job offers ya’ll!! Girls slaughtered the guys this week. Best judging ever!!
Then it was time for the announcement for next week’s task and.....
It’s a freaking surprise. We don’t know the company, industry or our team mates! Shit man! Its going to be hell!
We were trying to get info out from production and from what we gathered, it was going to be fun and crazy and that we won’t need any prior preparation for the task...
This shit just got seriously fun! ;)
