A)My last course at my undergraduate degree...it was a psychology course. i was too busy writing my thesis so I overlooked the study. I failed the final exam and was not going to graduate that year. l% q: L0 h; \5 }% n& S
9 m4 ]1 P9 b0 R; XAs I registered for a summer psy. course to make up the degree, somehow the school called me and said I need to pay the graduation fee. Puzzled but delighted, I went to the office and check all my grades and GPA. Somehow somebody changed the grade of my psychology course from an F to a B! I was dumbfounded! My grade report said I got an F but the official grade on the school's computer was a B! I showed the dean my grade report and point out the difference on the computer (It may sound dumb for many of you...but if I graduate and someday they find out that faulty grade..then I am doomed...I wasn't going to let that happened). The dean looked at my grade report and said since I am honest with the school and somehow the computer has the grade, he will let me graduate.

I did take the psychology course in the summer and submit the grade to lessen my guilt...coz I was sure that I failed the course....but somehow I felt the 'force was with me' in that incident.

) E* L4 t5 \2 s7 B9 E% T# E9 gB) My dad once owned a business and the property on Des Voeux Road. We were fortunate enough to have purchased the property from ground floor up to 4/F. In the summer of 1996, my dad had a series of emotional health problem and in the end he was forced to sell the business and the property together. It took almost a year to do the negotiation and we finally had a buyer. It was around July 1997 when my dad was forced to sell the whole thing for about 20 million dollars (it was a bargain coz people knew my dad's sickness). We had to paid off a lot of loans and ended up with almost nothing. it was a hard time for the whole family....until the economy doomed...we were so lucky to have sold the whole thing....now the property is worth the most 12 million..... |
