Last Quarter of 2011

8 weeks since my last post.. and these 8 weeks had been very time-fulfilling (although it is stressful)..

Firstly, my 5th ICT that was held on the 5th Sept to 10th Sept had concluded and the department that I was in-charge of was accessed with B+, the second best band after A. In that ICT, my deputy was not around and I have to settle everything with my stand-in deputy. On top of that, I've make it sure that I would like to start from scratch again to guide everyone in my department to know what is going on during work proper. It's not easy. But I had already tried my best. Although we are accessed with the B+ banding, I always feel that we are still not up to the standard. There is still more room for improvement.

Secondly, I had been assigned the overall project lead for a portion of the SGP F1 Assignment. That was challenging. It was because it was a straight plunge into the assignment after my ICT. No time to catch a breather, no time to take a break. Luckily, I have the assistance from my colleagues that supported me throughout the 3 days of F1. And because of this opportunity that was given to me by my boss, my hardwork was appreciated by my Group General Manager and Managing Director. Nevertheless, I felt happy despite the late hours I spent as I got to know many new friends and faces who are working in the Singapore Tourism Board, Land Transport Authority as well as the Singapore Grand Prix Committee. The 3 days spent in Pan Pacific were awesome with these group of people. Never to mention that we popped champagne in the ballroom at the very last day of work!!!

Thirdly, soon after my assignment with F1, I was called upon my HR to announce that my probation period with the company is over and I will be getting my $$$ soon. Alright.. at least some monetary reward I can look into. =)

Lastly, I bought a new motorcycle. A motorcycle I have been looking for these few weeks after getting my Class 2A license. It is a 10 years old Honda Steed with original spray and design. The body is nicely chrome up and I have decided to ride this motorcycle without the box. Thus I trade aesthetic with convenience but I am looking for a suitable leather side bag to attach to my motorcycle such that it can put at least a helmet on 1 side and accessories on the other side.. Vroom Vroom..

So much for this post, not forgetting that the economy is quite bleak as the big brother in the west and Europe are all facing job issues and debt crisis. I do hope that our red dot has some preventive measure that can block out most of the crisis wave.

So much for the updates.. Stay Tune...
