GSL Super Tournament Grand Finals

[image loading]


The time has finally come.


The one on the left is PoltPrime.WE


The one on the right is SlayersMMA


They both have come a long way from the round of 64


In the semi finals, SlayersMMA lost the first 2 matches but he persevered and made a comeback and won the next 3 matches.


As for PoltPrime.WE, he won the first match, lost the next 2, but again, made a comeback and won the last 2, winning 3-2, proceeding into the finals.


From their matches, I learnt that one should never ever give up no matter what.


No matter how far behind you are, there's always a possibility of a comeback.


As the commentators mentioned, when you think you are behind, try to play catchup and play to the best you can.


Never assume that just because you are behind now, you will be behind forever because that will only happen if you assume that your opponent will play perfectly and you will never catch up.


That is very much often not the case. Your opponent is bound to get complacent as they get ahead and this is your chance to fight back as hard as possible.


Hence, I learnt that we should never assume that it is impossible to fight back because nothing is impossible and starcraft II has shown me that  !


The GSL Finals will start at 2:10pm, may the best man wins !

Work At Mercer

Hi guys, sorry for not posting here for such a long time.


Just to update you guys, I'm currently working at Mercer, in the Health and Benefits Division.


I have just completed one week of the internship and throughout the entire week, we were just opening letters and filing documents in the respective files in the compacter room.


To be honest, we were damn saddened by what we have to do, I mean filing? You can get primary school students to do that and we are undergraduates and yet they ask us to do filing.


That is so degrading.


Some of my colleagues were even thinking of quitting.


But today, the team leader came over to tell us that it is actually learning bit by bit and its all about the attitude.


Even though we are now doing filing, we are actually learning about the process, what the department do and what the documents look like and how they are actually drafted.


So, it actually helps according to her but we though she was just talking rubbish because she's probably just smoking us.


How can filing be meaningful man? You go and tell that to the future employers and they will laugh until they die.


But she mentioned that she will put us into the FUN Committee to brainstorm for ideas that will help motivate the employees because it is a very stressful environment over there as everyone is busy and rushing over their work.


Hence, we have to start thinking of some things to help them release some of their stress.


I thought finally, we are doing something great for the company and this will definitely be helpful in our resume.


Also, the team leader mentioned that she will assign us more work in the future and involve us more in the task. She say that she want to maximise the interns here, to let them learn as much as possible, particularly because we are all undergraduates so we definitely possess the capabilities to do a good job.


I'm really glad that she has taken note of that because if we were to do filing for the rest of the internship, it will seriously be boring as hell.


Oh well, I am definitely looking forward to the next 7 weeks and I hope that there will be more jobs coming towards us :) :) :)
