The Firm season 2

Alas, Ain is out! It was down to The Sissy n Ain, n since it was earlier agreed upon plus the fact tat Ain was argumentative in the board meeting again, she was finally fired. I had high hopes on Ain cos of her alertness n competitiveness....all dashed now cos of you-know-who.
The Student was another issue. Her experiment on the Spritzer mineral water being poured into a balloon, hence making our skin wrinkle-free. WTF??!! It is simply becos of the water giving volume n bloating the balloon up. Try looking at the ED's long face. He was all smiles upon reaching the plant earlier tat day. Her second mistake is the script for the video ad. Her "all the script is in my head" fooled no-one. No-one. She had no script in her head, js the gist of the scenes. She was the cause of the stress-shooting day n she did not bother to owe up, Ain had to defend her.

I luv Jennifer, Masami n Boon Yew. Keep up the good work!!

The Firm season 2

Team Asset. Watching the first episode I tot The Fitness Consultant was going to be fired, of course after The Banker. He kept on side-tracking n talked so aggressively. Guess he got his alliances, alrite. Ain was right when she said tat The Fitness Consultant's presentation was like going to a war n tat he talked girlishly (not judging any sex orientation here). He was n did. Ain was also right most of the times. It's tru tat she gives her opinions straight, cos they dun reali hav much time to come up with smtg n beating around the bush certainly will not help. One thing, at least she was not harsh (sadly, The Boss does not agree. I suppose he would hav his own reasons. And so, she will not stay long). But The Fitness Consultant was clearly rude, harsh n aggressive. The only mistake done by Ain was tat she was not the presenter. She could hav saved the team.

Ain n Terence were rite when they said tat The Banker should decide by himself wht to leave The Firm or not cos it was his own call. The Banker tot tat he was not compatible enough n so made the decision to leave. Let the man go. Let the man go with dignity. Salasiah made 2 mistakes: 1) Suggesting tat the team should talk n persuade The Banker to stay, like it was a children's game n somebody had cried 2) She agreed to leave for the betterment of the team.
Ain n Terence were the only ones participating actively n effectively. Salasiah n The Legal Assistant were always playing safe by not participating enough. The Sissy always got lost during brainstorming while The Banker is permanently lost in the woods.

The Student is another issue. She actually used the word "disgusting" to describe their client's product. We'll forgive her cos she din know better. But we could not forgive her when she gave some rude facial expressives when told by The Boss! I think she was very immature n she was on national tv. She will not stay.
Azti is well balanced - not too active. Not irritating.
The Legal Assistant said "It's ok tat they (Team Equity) rulez, cos we're going to conquer them!". He rocks.

Team Equity. I luv Jennifer n Masami. Jennifer can really prioritise, organize n manage. I won't be surprised if she wins in the end. Masami evaluates the situation n can reason well. She speaks impeccable English too. The Corporate Trainer is the issue in tis team. He over-rate himself. He volunteered himself to be the presenter n vow to be "fully responsible" if they lose, yet was rejected by his team members, politely. They were trying to save his face for him. If he's wise, he should've shutted-up. He claimed tat his team was judging him n tat he was dissapointed. He forgot tat tis is a matter of choosing the perfect person for the role n not js putting someone on the stage js becos he "thinks" he could present well n tat he is willing to hold himself fully responsible. Moreover, hekept on saying tat presenting is wat he does in his daily profession. Masami had to point out tat tis presentation is not abt giving a motivational talk, it is abt trying to sell ur ideas n selling to ur potential customers. It is definitely not the thing tat he does daily n thank God they did not trust him enough for the responsibility. There is a tie between The Sissy n The Hold-Myself-Fully-Responsible.

Anoop was....Anoop.
Boon Yew was js so lively n good.

We await the next episode. My bet is on The Sissy or The Student.
