My NACLI Course On Emotional Intelligence

-

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 use the word “TRY” during the duration of the course. Those who said this were fined $1 for each time the word is said. I was given the task to be the treasurer. I must say this gave me the group closer together as I initiated to exchange the contacts of our course mates and create a whatsapp group to keep in touch together or going to other NACLI courses together.

On the 2nd day, I learnt that the human body gets tired 12 hours after the midpoint of the sleep cycle. What does this mean?

Let’s say I sleep from 12am to 6pm, the midpoint of my sleep cycle will be at 3am. Therefore the zzzz monster will be setting in at 3pm. It is important to know this as you will then know how to schedule your tasks.

We also learnt to set goals & objectives and setting out to achieve it by being specific, measurable & making your goal stretchable. I am glad to say I have been practising it.

We ended off the course by all of us, singing this song, “The Power of The Dream” by Celine Dion, which I thought was an apt description for we have learnt in the two days.

It was very nice to have known this batch of course mates, especially the 8 of them from Radin Mas YEC, which meant that I was not the only the young grassroots leader in the course. =)

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
