Today, I took a leisurely walk along Regent Canal all the way from Caledonian Road (between King's cross and Islington) to Paddington! I'm so glad I took the walk, and am so proud of myself!
The walk took nearly 2.5hours, excluding the time I took to sit down at a pub for some food, drinks and toilet break. 
Check out the photos here.
I'm going to Russia! Flying to Moscow 1 Jun and out 7 Jun.
My longest ever solo trip. Had to book now since my SQ points going to expire this month. Decided to go to Russia since its the furthest and most ex that I can redeem within Europe with my points. So its more value for points haha..
Hope to cover St Petersburg as well.
Today I went to a Singapore Public Service career talk at Millenium Copthorne hotel in Kensington.
The speaker for the day was Ms Lim Soo Hoon, Perm sec for Public Service Division. She talked about how she has worked in the public sector for 30 years, and said you should not work in the public sector if you are:
1) looking for alot of money
2) likes to see results quickly
3) thin-skinned (since u often need to face public discrimination from unknown strangers)
Well, basically I went because I wanted to give myself the chance to see what are the opportunities out there. It does sound very interesting to hear about the big picture of the public sector. How you develop policies, and implement them, all for the good of the people of Singapore. How you plan way in excess of 5, 10, 15 and even 20 years.
But usually what I hear from people who work in the public sector, it seems that their work is boring and repetitive and filled with red tape. (not that I have alot of friends working in the public sector though)
Is this what I want? I dunno. But what I do know is that in the public sector, u can never compete on fair grounds. since there are always the prestigious scholars marked for fast track in their careers.
As I stepped out of the hotel by the road, I saw a group of (old) men whom I thought were security guards or bellboys with their caps on and quite ill-fitting suits with alot of luggages around them. As I walked nearer, to my horror, I realised they were SQ pilots!
Today, I sent an email to a Senior manager and partner to inform them of a status of a piece of work. And told the SM that I can help him to follow up further if he is happy for me to do it.
Guess what’s the reply from the SM?
“I’m really deep underwater and will come up for air only on Friday at 3pm (which is when we have our audit close meeting). Will be great if you can help please.”
Try using it the next time u are held up with work. hahahaha…..
Bought my first autobiography today. After reading it for a few minutes at a bookstore, I thought its quite an interesting read.
Hopefully it will give me some motivation and ideas about setting up my own business.
Ooh I just discovered this Windows Live Writer after I decided to log on to my msn after a long long long time. So here I’m testing this now. Hope it works well!
and here’s a photo of us having CNY reunion dinner steamboat at my place.
