Blogging via iPhone

I'm using the blog writer app to blog. But depends if I have anything to blog about ... After all there are many things better left unsaid on e 'Net.

Some questions which were posed to me in early 2009 (posted here for posterity)

Q: how did the jcrc experience help in ur skills?

A: JCRC taught me to manage expectations which is a very important
trait in future work.

Q: what do u hope to do as a career and how abt the other engineers?

A: One of my lecturers told us that about half of the engineering
cohort will practice engineering while the other half will end up in
other fields such as banking, finance, business and insurance. With
the global financial crisis, most of y engineering friends will be
staying in that line for the time being. This is because most places
like banks are not only freezing their headcount; they are also
retrenching.

I will be pursuing a career in the engineering line with an emphasis
on project management. After a few years, I plan to do an MBA and,
depending on things then, either remain in the engineering line or
move on to other aspects.

I have also not ruled out the possibility of doing an M.Eng. or M.Sc.
in engineering.

Some meaningful quotes

1) A man's friend asked him to lend him $500, which he could easily afford but had his reservations.

 

Man: "Lord, should I lend him the money or give him the money?"
God: "Son, shall I give you my blessing or lend you my blessing?"

 

2) Some years ago, a woman had a daughter who was a pre-schooler. She made a Mother's Day card for her mother, but contained a spelling mistake. Instinctively, Mom's eyes zoomed in on that error.  She also saw her daughter's face glowing with excitement and love. Mom felt the Lord telling her,"Love her, with all her imperfections." At that very moment, she also felt the Lord say to her,"And that is how I love you too - with all your imperfections."

The Other Organisation

attended their Annual Parade for the first time, since previously it all clashed with my exam preparation.

Left with this question in mind: I am operationally ready to serve The Other Organisation. But does The Other Organisation need me to begin with?

What is truth?

Deutschkurs

OK this semester I am learning German. And it's a wonderful experience, although I can't compose a coherent blog post in German (unlike Malay which I could compose one, albeit a mistake-ridden one)

Anyway, maybe a sentence will do.

Ich lerne Deutsch und finde das sehr gut. Ich habe einen Freunde wer komme aus Deutschland. Meine Cousine hat einen Ehemann wer komme aus Deutschland. Seine Mutter spricht Englisch nicht.

English Translation:

I learn German and find that very good. I have a friend who comes from Germany. My cousin has a husband from Germany. His mother does not speak English.

OK, i'm sure the above sentence was full of mistakes but anyway...
