First Week@CNI

Click on the link for a peep at my first week with Cornell-Nanyang Institute of Management: http://cnimmh2007.blogspot.com/

Life is really hectic, from tug of war to writing, communication and presentation drills and of course my much dreaded networking sessions, I can only expect the situtation to get busier as days go by. Imagine having classes on Vesak Day, our public holiday? Somehow, sometimes I still wonder how and why am I doing this? Coupled with the 4 years bond after the programme, how am I going to survive this?

But I did see some personal improvements, at least for now I am able to convince myself to chat a total stranger up and intelligently too, all for the sake of business. My dean told us on day one that we are responsible to clinch our own internship!!! Have only done so for students, now I've got to clinch one for MYSELF???? Dear Joseph, your theory of clinching attachments deals for our own kids took a step further to MYSELF!

My classmates are really a diverse lot but we got along really fine. Can only say for now that graduate studies are really different and although it was just only 3 days together, I have learnt a deal from them, looking forward to more.
