30th SPDP Programme - Social Etiquette
Today' session was even more fun than yesterday. The instructor is from The Leading Image Pte Ltd, who is Ms Marion Teo. The class size is 30 students. Guess what ? I met farhan, the photography guy that i met during basic photography class as well as Amanda, my SP CFP 2006 friend. From this programme, i get to meet new friends.
I learn useful skills that is essential for working life from asking questions politely to listening to people & to understand non verbal cues. I learn that when we meet new people, we must gave formal greeting by saying gd morning, do a hanshake & maintain eye-contact.
At the end of the lecture in between, there are some activities like grp discussion, where we need to rephrase negative sentences to positive ones. Another activity that we do is standing on 2 rows & practise communcation with one another. I enjoy doing it & I feel fresh about it & confident. Thank You very much, Ms Teo. I feel an ease, communicating around with people well now. Let me share with you a quote:
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression" - Will Rogers
Yeah,that's about it. I had fun for the 1st week of my holidays. The weekends are here !!! there will be a family outing tmr afternoon & sun, we are going to the zoo with my relatives. Enjoy your weekends. Btw, my last SPDP programme is on 5th sept, which is Public Speaking.

30th SPDP Programme - Exam Smart
Today, I had a wonderful interaction with Mr Dennis, the lecturer. He shares with us his tips on how to study smart & pass your exams. I need to have the skills that's why I signed up for this programme...
The lesson was conducted in a big grp of 70 students at LT7. His sense of humour & presentation makes me awake as well as enjoy the programme. Mr Dennis is a section head for Educational & Staff Development (ESD), one of the departments in SP. He also did his O & A-levels way back 2 decades ago. He told us that when we follow his strategies, he guarantee that we can pass our exams, provided that we work hard. At the end of the day, he gave us study timetable & ppt slides notes, which is useful...
Yeah, that's about it. Tmr, I'll be going for Social Etiquette programme... =D Let me quote some of the phrases from the notes:
"Questions are the primary way we learn virtually everything"
"Thinking itself is nothing but the process of asking & answering questions"
Both quotes are by Anthony Robbins.

It's actually very interesting. I learn something new today... My final piece is a double-sided scrapbook with my 3 photos in it.

Today, to distress myself from devastating CPPB exams, I went to East Coast Park myself for a swim.. I arrived around 9 plus & without hesistation, I stripped off to my swim trunks !!! Yes, my swim trunks, the one that i always wear at the pool. haha =D
I dip in for quite some time coz it has been a long time i swim at the beach. Well, didn't managed to get tan coz the weather is cloudy & dark... Actually it drizzles but i kept swimming... I enjoy swimming very much & i managed to tread for 1 min only !!! I usually love to go in deep water & float myself at the back. I also try to swim using breaststroke but it's too difficult as the waves are strong for me. How I wished i can do the frontcrawl... anyway, I went off from there around 10.30am
Went home by 196... so long wait for that bus... 3o mins later, the bus came but it's 196A !!! (ends at Shenton Way) wth... so, i waited for add 8 mins b4 i board the B9TL... Then transfer to 198, B9TL too =D home. Reached home at 12.30pm...

Examination Week - Part 1
Here I am blogging again... Anyway, this week is my exam week. I have 2 papers.
Yesterday, I had engineering math... It was damn difficult. The last section i cant do it coz it's tough. I think i'm going to score between 50-55 %... haiz. Even my classmates told me that they are having difficulty in doing the paper too...
Last tues, I had Inorganic & Organic Chemistry (IOC)... It was ok. I managed to answer most of the questions coz I study really hard for it after the major blow when i receive my quiz 3 results... I would say the paper is set to a standard. After that,went to meet Mr Lam to say thank you for teaching me in this module... He offered me to look at the exam answers... Guess what ? I have careless mistakes... After browsing it, I think I'm going to score between 60-65 %
Yeah,that's about it... Next Tues & Fri, I'll be having Chemical Process & Principles B (CPPB) & Introduction to Microbiology (ITM) respectively... Hope I can score these 2 papers better than the other 2... =D

National Day Celebration @ Padang
Just came back... Today is Singapore's 42nd birthday !!! me & my family went to Padang to be part of 10,000 people, forming the largest human national flag !!! so happy... =D Reached there about 2.30 but get to sit down at ard 3 plus coz there's only one entrance (I know why) & the queue is SOOO long... There's people cut queueing too... haiz. As we reached at the entrance, we were given the goodie bag but the contents is not the same as the one at Marina Bay... but, nvr mind !! just appreciate what u get...
We were allocated a squared box, which has a red or white umbrella... i'm sitting at a square with the red umbrella ( to be exact, it's column number 15, row number 6 !!! Just near the goodie bag collection & near to the upper arc of the crescent)... that's where I sit down... According to the hosts, we have broken the singapore record !!! Wow, I'm so happy to be part of this history !!!
At the Padang,we were given to rehearse 2 times... we need to do the opening of umbrella by 3 different ways; open & close,line by line & the wave !!! I enjoyed myself even though is just an easy task... i get to see the chinook helicopter, carrying the national flag & the air display... after that, we went home the night b4 the fireworks as we know that by then, many ppl will be heading home & the public places will be crowded... we get to bring back the umbrella !!! =D
As we went home, I felt a bit dizzy coz there were too many people !!! from padang to esplanade park to spore river to boat quay... Woah, TOO MANY PPL !!! We went to find a place to eat b4 heading home by MRT. Yeah, thats about it... Tmr, IOC lesson at 10... I NEED to go even though is optional... =D

Yesterday, I had ITM quiz... it was ok & as usual, i forgot some parts. I think i'm going to score a B grade for it.
Last Wednesday, went for SCIC Talk on working in a chemical industry... The talk was interesting to me as they share with us the avg salary, the future of jrg island & so many more.
Last Tuesday, I had Spreadsheet quiz. I find this quiz easier than the 1st one... Hoping to score at least 70% for it. Btw, I got back my math test results !!! I was disappointed because i got 63% due to my carelessness in the last qns. If not, I should have scored 83... =( Today also got back CPPB results. i got 35/50, which is also disappointing but ok la, at least a B grade... My math i should get an A grade coz it's my fav subject !!! =D
Last monday, lessons start at 1pm... During RWP lesson, we got back our report... I scored B- for it, which I feel is satisfied !!! I just need to have final touch-ups before hand in the hard & soft copy by next mon.
Yeah, that's about it... exams is 2 weeks away & i still havent start anything yet due to my hw 7 projects... haiz. Hoping to start ASAP...
