Collect some past thoughts

临近了新年，人就慵懒了；一不小心，发现博客已经两个月没更新了。Gary说你娃should post sth；我说过了年，年纪又大了一岁，活着活着就老了；先贤莎士比亚说：时间啊，牛逼阿，你娃肯定逃不过他横扫的镰刀阿；其实，再牛逼的比如莎士比亚，早晚都有一天可能会憋不出多少货色；然后很可能就翻出旧作一篇；然后说：
     “2007就这么过去了，我也并不很怀念她；而如果有人偶然会想起她，就让我们专注2008。”
   “张爱玲曾叹人生之恨事：一恨鲥鱼多刺，二恨海棠无香，三恨红楼未完。
    进长江之后，我惊诧了两回：一是frank每一级看一个月考出了CFA；二是今天看到number的文字。

    今天是个好日子，下午看到小罗开了意料之中的博，晚上发现number开了意料之外的博。
    今天是个诡异的日子，小罗的文字好是意料之中的，number的文字是意料之外的好。
    好到让我第三回惊艳文字；头一回是王小波，第二回是冯唐。
    兄弟我的文字，是在浦发时候，被棒子敲着杠子顶着鞭子抽着（马龙不许想歪了）地写了小几十万字以后磨出来的；单不说现在的文字水平怎样，只要想起那些无数个写字的深夜，我就忍不住在身上打了个冷战；而若是论起overhead的allocation，性价比低的过分，亏损的几乎要吐血。
    而number的文字，是天生丽质。（他娃甚至很害羞地偷偷对我说，说这是几年以来动的处女笔；若是不把这一点揭发出来，实在出不了我心头一口鸟气）

    我从小知道自己智商偏低，也因此一直都不敢怎么懈怠；到长江读书以后，发现原来的判断失误，智商不是“偏”低啊。
    聪明的小孩，就像number，就像frank，就像Robert，就像Albert…
    笨小孩，就像Arthur。
    大隐隐于长江啊。
    大姚说：永远别嫉妒比你优秀的同事，他们使你进步。和一堆烂人在一起，只会越来越烂，和优秀的人在一起，才会变得优秀。
    而我就是在这样的夜里，这样地想起了我那些强大而牛逼的同学；每一天，我都为能和你们同学而庆幸----庆幸我来了CK，庆幸没去CK06，庆幸没去CK08。
    虽然，和一群牛人天天在一起出没，真他母亲不是人过的生活。
    肚子饿了，回头再看number的文字，越看越觉得唾液分泌加速，好像看见了无刺鲥鱼。
    咽了口口水，回去接着写MA的作业。”

有病吗？这么评价师兄师弟啊？

以下是引用lios在2008-3-3 2:33:00的发言：
   {----庆幸我来了CK，庆幸没去CK06，庆幸没去CK08。}

有病吗？这么评价师兄师弟啊？

不用太敏感，他的意思是加入CK2007认识了许多志同道合的同学是庆幸的！

200802南京游记

六朝金粉地，金陵帝王州，一直不想去面对，因为无法面对死难的国人，因为不能也因为无所可表达而没有资格恸哭流涕，因为扎在心中的刺还在。。。。。。。这次去了南京，却已是忘得死死，可能是有些本以为痛彻心扉的事情真的可以忘却。

期待了一个下午，背上书包，“杀人”的火车上，好像回到20岁；入夜，1912酒吧街很酷，我们一行人很认真的拍出了革命党和Prof. Brian的咸蛋超人pose（supply and demand curve），本以为要去的“boring”酒吧，到了才发现是“boiling”，John的舞技很high但是没有进步；Iris本色大家姐，非自练神功无法可及，纵练成神功亦未必可及；Eric还没有high起来就开始犯困，生物钟锁定在了12点；coco很球，很吸引；环顾左右的我，开始觉得怎么跳都不对，喝了几杯酒后发现原来怎么跳都是对的。

民主和博爱，中山陵很亲切。台阶几百步，跑倒了CEIBS的队友；走晕了CK的家属；手脚并用，挺住的是耐力第一。远处的天空有一片飘忽不定的棉花糖，棉花糖只能遐想，朱元璋的冢前有一片砖砖有名的城墙，城墙到可以细细品尝，700年前的十万人工匠，现如今的九人戏场，熙熙走过，只剩下城后梅花羞荣立，攘攘走来，留不住台前荣立不羡仙。滚滚长江犹在，秦淮繁华式微，靡灯八艳已无处可寻，到是落得脚拖疲惫困倦之身，怀揣抱头鼠窜之意，一切过往，皆如旧时游上苑，车如流水马如龙。

从8:00，8:30到9:00，9:30，最后10:00，证实的是MBA的体质正逼近完全非弹性的供需平衡，恰风起之时，已是逃窜之日，顾不上玄武泛舟，只躲进咖啡小憩，盼到河蟹号发出，已是七七八八无数。

                

咨文纪念与室友王征、不羡仙帅哥荣立、大家姐徐梦婕、黄凌以及李氏、王氏夫妇同游南京。

<19th week> A clip from Class Journal, a glimpse of school life:

"Dear All,
I was informed by Cypress hotel of this information yesterday and we’re trying to negotiate with them.
Actually, not just the swimming pool, but many other entertainments from the club are all priced up.
As far as swimming pool, the reason they gave us was because, this is a constant temperature swimming pool; and they need to burn a kind of oil to keep the temperature; and the price of the oil is doubled; that’s why they need to raise the price.
Attached please see the price they’ve provided to us and I will let you all know the negotiation process.
Best regards,
Jessie.Ma

Dear Jessie,
CKGSB’s study is very intensive, swimming, as well as tennis and badminton is almost the only sports activity for many of our MBA students (more than half of our classmates frequently go swimming) to build up their bodies.
Since there is a long term agreement between CKGSB and Cypress hotel, it should be negotiable for this price issue.
On the other hand, the increasing of the cost is not so big as they charged for us (117% sharp increase), why do not negotiate to a feasible price such as RMB 30 (even this price is still 30% increase)?
Hope we could find a way to solve this problem.
Johnny

Dear all,
Thank you all very much for your good advices and ideas on this issue!
I totally agree with all and I understand how important this kind of facility is for all of you and our school.
Please trust us we’re going to use all the resource we can to negotiate with Cypress hotel; besides we’ve got support from our school for us to do this negotiation too!
So, please hand over this task to us so that you can have enough energy focus on your study. We will keep you updated on this issue within this week and give everybody a solution!
Thank you very much for your understanding!
Jessie.Ma

Dear all,
It’s my great pleasure to show our appreciation on behalf of all Cheung Kong Ladies!
Thank you so much for your gift and you guys have lit up our holiday!!
Meanwhile, we’d like to wish every lady in your class a happy holiday!
Best regards,
Jessie.Ma

<20th week> Presented by Gary Lu:

Group Project with Cornell students

Cornell projects started on Mar. 17 with a pleasant 13 member team of Cornell Johnson school MBA students joining us. A bit surprise that the majority of them are of Indian origin. This is another evidence that how India has impressed the world and immerged into the mainstream of the Western world, especially the US. We spent roughly one and a half days together to work on a case talking about the current hot issue of the legal dispute between Danone and Wahaha and it turned out to be a quite enjoyable experience. There was not much information given by the case material, therefore we need to figure out what’s behind the phenomenon by ourselves. Info search is of course the fundamental work but how to deduce the logic and map out the storyline is really a challenge. And the Cornell students won our respect by asking to-the-point questions and stay cooperative on the road of seeking the truth. 

Of course, we didn’t just get stuck on the case. Actually we had a very nice talk with them. The two students in our team: Jasy from India and Sheraf from Pakistan are both open-minded and sharp-minded. During the case analysis, I find they would keep pushing themselves until they think they’ve got some solid recommendations that they would feel comfortable to defend. Besides this case, we openly exchanged our view on how we look at each other and the countries of China, India and Pakistan. Taiwan is part of the topic because they don’t quite understand the tension between Mainland China and Taiwan. Also Jasy raised a very good point that India is ahead of China in globalization because its language advantage but China is now putting more efforts in the language education while India did little to improve its infrastructure so the gap will be narrowed in the near future. A modest complement; however, we ourselves should think about this issue critically. Do not misunderstand that China is in an advantageous position in the competition with India.

The final presentation turned out to be a “watch-tour” since I admired the way they presented themselves. Anyway, this joint activity seems to make more sense than simply dining together. Btw, hang-out together is also a good choice. Tonight six of us accompanied six Cornell students to have a happy dinner at the Jade Garden and then settled down in a bar on the Hengshan Road. They were having fun with us given the really good meal and when we were in a bar, they were quite delighted in taking photos of each other with funny gestures.

<22th week> Presented by Sophia Xiao:

一周小结
过去的一周，除了FM和MR有几个问题不是很明白外，还是过得很充实的。
周日：
顺利且成功完成了Cornell project sharing，参加过项目的同学的分享、教授的点评、主持人的组织、场务的设计、提问......很多环节都比较顺利；作为第一个独立组织的俱乐部活动，有这么多同学的参与和支持，我已经很满意了；班里很多同学都在积极地为大家努力做事，很好。
周三：
1. 东亚银行VP的‘外资银行在中国的发展’，很真诚，也很成功；起码我这个不打算去银行的人对行业也有了挺好的了解，他给的择业建议‘可以考虑将要改制的企业，无论新外资，大国资，还是好民企’有些建设性；
2. 万科VP的企业和行业分析，对这个行业有了些新认识。作为行业里的老大，万科的责任感很强，这是企业的难能可贵之处。可惜我问的三个问题，回答得不是很实质；当然，国内企业能常去哈佛、沃顿开招聘会的还是不多；
3. Randy中午的职业市场分析，有些意义；在这个阶段安排这样的信息分享和精神鼓励，也可见学校的用心良苦啊！
周五：
1. 德尔福（苏州）工厂。他们对这类公关活动的重视程度可以联想地思考到他在行业里地位下滑的原因；另一路去了AMD和Spansion的同学好像收获不少；
2. 金鸡湖畔。苏州的城市建设和新加坡有得一比了；政府工作人员的努力程度是世界上很多国家都难得比拟的；和UC Berkeley的MBA们一路交流，他们也很认可这个评价；如果中国的各地方政府都可以如此高效地‘运作’，那‘中国’，哎，别提有多好了！
3. 苏州中新创投会议室。和投行的人近距离接触，感觉没有那么神秘，但确有所不同。坐我对面的那个家伙的看我们的眼神像似在研究项目；哦，对了，我挺喜欢那个会议室的，同学们第一次围坐在那样一个会议桌上，各有表情和姿势，突然想到了十年后......
4. BioBay纳米科技园。那里有深圳和浦东都比拟不了的建设速度! 那位女士，后来我才知道是他们的总经理，确有很多值得我们佩服的气质和能力；
5. '三娘鱼庄'，和同学一起 '劳动' 一天后吃饭聊天的感觉，很不错！
周六：
1. Exchange program的面试。用5分钟决定下来的印度，还是有很多魅力；
2. An dinner appointment, 和一位正准备创业的朋友一起审议他的商业计划书；
下周的日程表已排好，加油！珍惜学校的美好时光！
