reflection~

2008 is indeed an eventful year for everyone of us. With impacts from food contamination to global economic unstability. We had also seen the much sadder news of the ever attacked by the group of terrorist in Mumbai that kills my friend's colleague. Sad~

The oriental believes that the figure 8 is supposed to bring luck and prosperity to the society but it got worst. The situation is much uncontrollable in comparison to 1998 global economy crisis or the 1988 world political crisis. Do we ever think about what will happen in 2018, 2028 and beyond? How will the next generation to survive the next downturn?

It is a debate among the people around what will happen to Earth and the residence of Earth in times to come? Mars has always been known to the planet closest to Earth. Are we all had a plan to evacuate to Mars if Earth are no longer inhabitable? With the erratic behavior of Mother Nature towards the environment causing much alarming global warming on Earth. Do we all ever thought of that we human are the root to what we had now?

It was when early this year that I watched the documentary by Al Gore - The Inconvenient Truth. And at the later of the year, a report shown that Al Gore had places much effort in reducing global warming, but indeed the report says that his house consumes at least 20% more energy compare to other houses in similar composition.

But I have to say that, Al Gore and the environmentalist had made an effort to make people realize the importance of conserving the balance of the environment for the next generations to come. Personally, if I have the time and the social circle that involves in such activities, I would be pretty much interested to be involved in the conservation project driven on a global initiatives in promoting green environment.

2008 & career

Today is the last day of 2008 and this is the year in making a major decision to have a focus changed in career path. This is a year of achievement to me in enriching my knowledge in business practice and also realizing my potential career as a project manager.

This is also the year which I placed a great load of effort in my career in lecturing and my duty as a project manager. A group of students and I worked alongside to develop a design studio and within 6 months, we had completed at least 8 major design projects. This is trully a rewarding effort which I had placed in for the past few months and the fruit of labor for this year had revealed itself through future sponsorship by the instituition.

As a reward for me this year in my career was to see success after success by my group of students conducting internship as well as traineeship in the design studio. Pleasing to the heart at an achievement that was never thought to be brought alive. Students in and out the studio with a drawn intention had further develop the achievement of this design studio.

Next year will be a difficult year but I hope that nothing should be impossible to handle...

2008 & life

This year was more a career driven year. Friends come and go with the next moment you will get to know another person. Knowing great deal of people is one of the key to success factor in everyone's life. I had got to know a few people which had helped me to realize certain area and also to boost my confidence level.

CJ came back to Singapore this year after completing her studies in London. Lars visits to Asia for the second time again and now he is with Kyle in New Zealand hunting for sheepskins. My buddies are the one who keeps me going and looking forward for things ahead.
