This is superly scary. I woke up at 8.30am this morning but all I did was to cover the culture chapter of biz strat. And it’s going to be 1 now. Why is time passing so quickly. GG to me. /:
Discovered how my strength actually attracted my weakness. It’s rather intriguing. Not strength being my weakness but rather how it attracts situations that show my weakness. Good thing that I’m learning to deal with it (: and it’s a new thing to share about in interviews! haha
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen for the longest of time. I laughed til my stomach and mouth cramped LOL This is shit shit funny. Please watch Jingle Bells in a different flavour :D
Seems like i’m getting less open-minded. or was it really fine to feel uneasy. why why why. it’s never easy. this life is never easy. never ever. when will i get that big big heart of magnanimity?
Silvia was sharing with me how she enjoyed classes in CBS cos it’s so different from learning in Italy. It’s more interactive and fun over here. Well, I can’t deny that students here talk more than those at home. But for me, it isn’t that much of a wow-er as compared to for Silvia.
Struck me like how people can be drawn to better opportunities out there, when they realise where they are now cannot give them what they want. It is most obvious in jobs, in migration, and here in education. Same applies for family and life I guess. If we don’t build a proper home, nice comfortable, healthy, happy shelter for our family, they will yearn be in others, they want to leave and they will, at the end of the day.
Finally learned out to tackle this super hard to read textbook – Strategic Human Resource Management, by Mike Millmore et. al. It’s a damn gg book. The sentence structures feels like double negative and they keep repeating conclusions from previous sections… Half the time, it is not constructing knowledge and understanding in me, just keep beating around the bush. I mean it is a good academic book. But man, it is totally not an easy textbook to read. Usually I spend like one entire day reading a chapter of about 30-40 pages.
Convinced myself to try reading from the summary to have a gist of what is important and what is not. Wala! I sped up so quickly! In half a day, I finished a chapter of about 25 pages and found a related article and read it all (: So happy with that. Thanks to the tips from Edward and the lecturer.
Really glad I picked up a skill to tackle a different kind of literature. Searching for articles have been interesting too. We are required to get an article a week related to the chapter of the week. Of course I don’t do it diligently but I do it like half the time. It has been an experience searching for scholastic journal articles on the Emerald Management Xtra. I won’t have done it if I were in NBS. Haha, we are fed with most of the resources.. Don’t have to spend personal effort to look for more. Guess it would help with my future projects and FYP (:
Have you heard of it?! This Danish girl told me at HR lesson today about “winter depression”. In Denmark, it is common that there are more people suffering from depression in winter because they don’t get to see the sun. Which is quite true. I mean I do feel a little sad that the daylight is so short these days. In Finland, it’s worse cos it is dark now -.- for half a year. And the suicide rates according to her is really high. Haha it’s a damn interesting find man. Now you know how blessed you are to be living in Sunny Singapore, so stop complaining about the hot weather. (: People here are so happy in spring, they literally run out into the open to enjoy the sun (:
Guess how the Danes move cabinets out from the 5th storey of a building? Through the windows! Haha, not sure if that is really the common way to do it but I saw this crane machines shifting a wardrobe out of the house through its window. It was damn hilarious. Stairs in Denmark aren’t as steep as those in Holland. Wonder if they really do it in Holland. Haha
This is shit ridiculous. I swear I just took this pictures minutes ago. It’s only 6pm here and it’s freaking shit dark, like 8pm in Singapore. ZZZ I was still complaining that the night falls after 9pm when I just arrived at Denmark. Now even after switching the clock one hour back, the sky still turns shit black damn early. I believe it’s gonna be damn crappy in Dec when nightfalls at 4pm or 3pm -.-
