Talking to my boss is great.

After the SQC Assessor Course, I took a hitch ride from him back to Dhoby Ghaut, as he was going to somewhere in the city. I was impressed by the fact that he actually had a lot of things in his mind, on what he wanna do when he ORD, and so on and so for. It was awesome, but everything for him seems very organised.

He advised me on writing down and organising my thoughts, which I found it rather true. I dunno since when, my mind has been in a whirl, and things didn't really improve since last year.

"It took me two years to do that", said my boss.

I'm really grateful to have such a boss like him, I see him as a mentor, because he taught me things that I don't think I will learn when I was a trainee.

What is fear?

Fear = False Evidence Appearing Real

You see, when you fear something, you had already foreseen something bad in your mind, that you may lose your valuable possessions in the process. But so far has this phenomenon come true? No.

What does it indicate?

It indicates that you are thinking of something that may not happen (False Evidence), but it seemed real (Appearing Real) simply because you think of it as a high possibility of occurring, producing the fear within you as a result.

My boss thought me that.

You do not need determination to achieve what you want. Think of the reason of achieving your goals, and that alone can serve as a motivation for you to succeed.

Also from my boss.

I realise I've got lots to learn. As what he said, during these 2 years of NS, do pick up whatever you can learn, and move on. Don't linger around once your time is up, as there're much more opportunities outside. (I was telling him of the possibility of extending my ORD for half a year more like Choon Siong)

I would like to express my gratitude to him. It seems that fate brought me to work under him, and learn from him.

Without the past, there wouldn't be the present. I would like to make use of this present to create my future and prove others wrong.

Thanks boss! =)

I must say I'm quite busy recently.

Let's start with one month ago, when I took over Choon Siong as the standin SO ID. Till then I understand why he considered signing on for 6 months, even when other people are yearning to ORD soon. Morning check email, sit down type email, canteen, lunch, slack, and go off at 430pm.

Wow. You may think this kind of life happens to me.

Haha.. ok la. Recently our unit's undergoing some certification and my boss and I had to go for some course regarding the certification process (as we are the ones spearheading the whole certification process). I found that really useful as it will really help me when I go work next time. =) But the process is rather tiring.. coordinating timing with all the senior commanders, followed by the middle management, to see who's free and who's not for the in house workshop. There are also times where there're conflicts of instructions... Urgh.

It's only at the start... Haha.

Now let's hope someone takes over SO ID soon, so I can take a breather. =)

But overall, it was rather enjoyable, and satisfying. If only I can find a job like that outside. Haha.. Busy but fulfilling. Well, actually that job scope is only part of what I do over there.. still got more to come=S

Peak period is coming soon. I can sense it.

Aikido grading's coming. And I had to rush for to clock my lessons last week. Damn tiring... Really. Imagine, mon go for lesson at night, tues guard duty, fri go again, then sat hav to go help out the sundown marathon as baggage IC (overnight event) and eventually sunday 2+ hrs of Aikido straight in a row. >.< (with work in my office going on, and studying for my ACCA exams at the same time)

Pretty cool. I'm quite impressed with that actually, but then, if only I can pass my grading then I would really feel a sense of satisfaction =D

Only after 15th June then can I really take a breather.

Haha.. let's see my schedule.

4th June: F3 Exam (just finished!)
6th June: F2 Exam
11th June: F1 Exam
15th June: Aikido grading

1 down. 3 to go. Chiong AH~!!!

From,
James
