April has been a crazy month for me. A lot of things going on, everything's going very fast and no more boredom :D
Feels like learning a lot this month. Now I'm finally relieved that myself being in Stockholm worth the time.
1. April starts off with Easter trip in which a great dosage of fun and unique experiences involved haha.
2. Some dinner meetings with Johannes and Maisy for cca projects.
3. Another ski trip with Carmen haha. I dont feel like improving my techniques though, just that I can go 10 mins faster down the slope. Anyway ski is super fun!
4. Planning class starts, so every Monday and Wednesday at least I have something to do haha
5. Rediscover my passion for movie haha. Been watching 3 movies this month : clash of titans, remember me, ghost writer
6. Electronic exhibition with InView. first time representing the company. quite boring though
7. Traders trophy..went to final, but didnt win. But met some great student traders though and lunched with Oxyor CEO (ok, i didnt know he was the CEO that time, only after he gave namecard...)
8. STOCKHOLM STARTUP WEEKEND. been the greatest startup events that I went to. basically it's like 54hours business camp. In 54 hours we need to come up with business plan and product prototype. Met tons of great people here, from developer, investors etc etc.
My team idea (Annika and me) is a site called EventGoerz. We didnt get first place, but we managed to get a chance to pitch in Startup day :D
9. yeah from no.8, now i have another focus. been busy this week thinking whether we should really continue building this company or not. been planning a lot of stuff, brainstorming a lot
10. yeah of course in the most unwanted moment my work at InView get busier as well..why dont they make me this busy one month ago where I have nothing else to work on except travel plan?
11. get in touch with him again, after sooo looonggg...just lift my mood up for the whole day today :D
11. just went back from StartUp Day. been really great day. Made lots of contacts, talked to lots of people abt our idea and how we can improve it and so on. Networking feels much different if you have concrete idea on what you need and what you gonna do. I mean, in networking events before this, I was just there for the sake of being there and getting new contacts. But now you have totally different feeling cause somewhat you know why you're there! and also good thing is you can explain that you're doing something other than "oh, i'm exchange student from singapore, but i'm also interning with bla bla bla". conversation will evolve from there :D
yeah in conclusion i love this month. i like its fast pace, things keep changing and improving and getting more exciting.
biggest issue is whether I should continue working on EventGoerz, the startup that I co-founded, or not. I mean i dont think it's gonna work personally...not because of the idea is bad, just because Annika and me have totally different working styles. she's too slack from my view haha, but she has good contacts though...afterall she's been in sweden for years.
but if we keep this up, in the process I'm sure I'll learn a lot (it's just like totally applying what i learnt in class to real life...one word...amazing!), gain lots of first-hand experiences and make lots of contacts. It's gonna be a very good experience and I have nothing to lose anyway. most importantly, it's gonna be fun!
april hasnt ended yet. and next week gonna be crazier if everything's in my agenda comes true.
1. going to venture cup final
2. fnishing up planning assignment
3. going to excitera innovation challenge final
4. attend globe forum, biggest innovation conference...u know...more and more interesting ppl coming
5. dinner+party with best...been a long time i wanna go cafe opera!
6. ROME!
hopefully everything goes as planned :D
i like it when everything's going very fast...like 24 hours is not enough for u...been quite sometime i didnt feel that way, but now yeah...it's here again :D
really need to learn and learn more things here.
