Paul's Fulfilling Life

I had signed up for this course about a month, with the aim to improve my emotional intelligence, and I am glad to say that I have fulfilled what I wanted to gain from the lecture, besides the 4 learning units that I gained for the Certificate of Community Development, which brings me 23 learning units to attain it.   The 1st day of the lecture , we had to recite this success creed together in a group before we were allowed to leave for the day. This success creed, I think, I have been practising it, but I must apply more to my daily life, which means cutting out of negativity, or letting other people’s actions, which are negative affect me, and must be more lovable. In the lecture, our lecturer also shared the importance of taking deep breaths when facing difficult situations or negative situations, and this techinque actually helps to connect your body to your mind, and the power to change the thought from a negative to a positive one. Our lecturer also impart to us not to us...

The fortunate thing about having a 5 day work week is I always look forward to my weekend. This is especially so after an eventful month at work. Voice Art – 7 September 2014 It has been a while since I last sang, and this was supposed to be the location for the next VES volunteer gathering in October. However, due to the fact that they would be holding the singing competition at around the same time, we had to change our plans. Was there with Meiqi, Jasmine & Jia Jie. We did not manage to catch up with JJ’s mum, Linda this round. It appears that my friends enjoyed the experience at the KTV very much and am looking forward to the next one soon. BBQ at ECP – 13 September 2014 I would like to thank Chloe & Gonnie for organising this BBQ & inviting me along. It was indeed fun and I got to catch up with some friends whom I have not met up for a while, for example, Lance & Zhencong, and met up with some new ones, Li Gyan, Shirley, Dennies & Wayne. In the BBQ, I ...

I am having a busy month in September. It did not help that my work deadline is coming up in end November. Yet some colleagues are still either taking MCs & urgent leave as they please, leaving people needing to clean up their work for them, or indulging political moves to drive out a colleague, who was requested to come back to work for the company 6 months ago, as the “politicians” claimed that they were too busy and could not cope & it was to help us to have cover for a colleague who always take MCs or urgent leave with shocking regularity, only to kick this returning colleague out of the firm by saying they cannot work with her due to “communication problems” when it is pretty obvious that the person who got kicked out was not aware that she was about to be kicked out until she was in my boss’ office. I wonder the so called “communication problems” was masked by the fact that her superiors have made mistakes in their work & it was discovered by this colleague. To cover...

It has been about 2 months since I collected my SG Enable Public Transport Pass, which allows me to have unlimited bus & train rides capped at $60 per month with a hybrid pass and discounted bus fares for certain bus services. Since getting the card, I have cutting down on unnecessary taxi rides, taking cabs when I felt that it was necessary as my transport bill is about 75% of what I spent previously. I have used the card on Express services, Bus 74e & Express 502. My bus captain friend, Mr Lim, who drives Service 74e showed me that when I tap my card, it shows that a senior citizen has travelled on his bus. That’s funny, as it means I should have my hair bleached. Another interesting thing that I discovered was if I were to travel for more than 7.2km, the fare is capped at 7.2km. I found that hanging a lanyard to display my pass helps, as the bus captain is able to see my pass clearly & also some people will automatically give up their seats to me. However, it has to b...
