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.

As 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.. V+ D" j6 }7 T7 ~ Z' m
, h: j' W7 U9 b4 zI 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.9 d' t/ l6 e5 T+ v6 t
+ W( M$ h) l; \# X: m# CB) 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..... |
