Week 9 Confidence Check

When I was a student, I didn't bother about building my confidence. To me, being smart and intelligent was more important than being confident (no IS and I&E back then).

But when I started working, I found out that only the intellectuals and geeks (like me) didn't care about confidence. Everyone else was affected by confidence, even if they didn't realise it.

Like, let's say you have some superb idea to share with your colleagues. If you don't have confidence, your other colleague who has a lot of confidence but only a so-so idea may have the upper hand. (Why do you think ang mohs tend to rise faster than their singaporean colleagues, even though the ang moh isn't smarter? No it's not racism - it's because they have confidence and most singaporeans don't.)

Like it or not, confidence matters.

Actually, I typed down those thoughts above after I came across this Confidence Check - a simple quiz to see how confident you are. (Don't forget to check out their tips to boost your confidence and courage as well.)

I'm now a lot more confident than when I was in school, and I hope to see you guys become more confident after going thru I&E! :)

Week 8 A-maze-ing Mazes

I happened to stumble upon this site (http://www.powellgardens.org/mazes/about/) and found the concept quite interesting - they have interesting mazes where people can walk around and explore in.

I wonder if we could do something like that here.

Week 8 The one about the Status update

Hi guys (and gals),
For my kindness in not bugging you during your CTs, I am now claiming my "payments". Please update me on your progress of your I&E activity.

I know some of you have not got it sorted out altogether, but at least let me know how you're progressing can ? (you can of course update me through this blog)

... and in case you're not aware, there's supposed to be a Progress Update 1 in IELS, please get that completed by this week.

Thanks (still loving you),
Max

Week 8 The one about the hardcore football fan ...


Though sometimes he does look abit blur (in a cute way, of course) ... he is highly capable of providing a well analysed viewpoint of things ...

"... in some parts of the process in mounting the event, i gave some of my ideas which can help them to think further. I learn that communication and coordination is an important factor in getting things done. Synergy is gathered through the team's effort, a team can achieve better than a collection of the individuals. My group is perfect, we had joys together, most of the work is evenly distributed and we did what was required of us with the least effort."

Week 8 The one about the mysterious race/ethnic group ...



 
My group, Elpam, have come to a decision of having an event called NP Rush Hour to promote Health and Lifestyle.
Nowadays, people are caught in a web of work and studies such that they cannot do sports such as badminton, tennis or football. These sports are fun except that they are time consuming.

By participating in this event organized by us, they will learn how to keep healthy without wasting precious time.

Week 7 Pressing on !!!

Press on guys !!! *kiss*
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUCCESSFUL PERSON AND OTHERS IS NOT A LACK OF STRENGTH. NOT A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BUT RATHER IN A LACK OF WILL.

Week 6 The one about the birthday gal ...

... my teammates are very kind, they always take initiatives to help me when they see that I can't cope. I have learnt that communication and understandings between team members are very important, and TEAMWORK - everyone trust each other and work together towards the same goals!
... I feared alot of things actually. For instance, Can I work with these people? ... Thank God they are the nicest bunch of project mates I had ever met.
... thanks to my groupmates and mentor, they kept training me and equipped me with the skills to go 'fight the battle'. Of cos, all these will not help if I don't help myself. so yeah.. train train train! What did you like about your group ? I don't like them at all. I LOVE them.

My group has got crappers who doesn't slack (it's hard to find people like this). hahas. And that we are all very humorous. But that's not the main point, I love them the most when everyone takes the initiatives to allocate task for themselves without being asked to. And also, they are very understandings and helpful and kind (all all the good words you can find) to do things even beyond that.

This is so funny. Make sure you read it out loud so you'll get the full understanding. Have a good day. Chinglish ... not English You might like this. This is hilarious... even an Englishman could not construct sentences using numbers.

Wong Chan was asked to make a sentence using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. Not only did he do it from 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1. This is what he came up with...

1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple sawme, so I panic and 4 down. The man rush out and wanted to 5 with me. I run until I fall 6 and throw up. So I go into 7 eleven and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab him. 10 God he run away. So, I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7 eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I am 6. He said 5, tomorrow also no need to comeback 4 work. He also asks me to climb a 3 and jump down. I don't understand, I so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1.
