Fresh Journey…

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

First thing first, let me welcome myself back :P. It has been more than 6 mths since i last blog so why am i back today?? Ha cos of new ideas, new inspiration, new motives, new goals….New Beginning to a Fresh Journey. After much deliberation and physical actions, i have finally decided to start a new chapter in my life! Nope, i am not getting hitch! LOL..i am starting a new career..a Teacher..Yes yes, i will be Mr Lau or cher cher…:P To cut my long story short of how and why i reached my current decision..I tink i have made the right decision! Guess thats the most impt.

First 2 months of this yr, i was on courses and adapting to a new unit i was posted to. Was pretty fun as my new colleagues (but old faces as i already know them but first time working together) are also a fun bunch where work nvr seem like pure work. In Mar, i went to India with 2 colleagues who are as crazy as me haha! So needless to say, we also enjoyed our business trip there too. When we were there, we also had a lot of heart to heart talk, abt career switching plans and other interesting stuffs.

Once i am back to sg in Apr, i submitted my application to MOE instantly and this application affair kept me on my toes for the next 3 mths. Went for interview, tendered to my current employer in the face of uncertainty, went for exit interviews, assist to complete the final few projects and tasking i have and finally started clearing my leave on 6th Jun.

The most exciting portion of this whole rendevous boils down to me only knowing i am confirmed entering this July NIE intake last Wed and the registration for NIE is tml! Quite an exciting appendix to this chapter i guess.

During my journey of making this career switch and a lot of other small steps that i took to inch in closer to my final end point was never always a breeze or so define. Nevertheless, i guess it is always impt for a person to have a clear sight of the final goal and be focus. Then whatever crossroads or distractions or hurdles that happened along the way will not be disruptive. Certainly with the clear sight at the final goal, u should have craft out a plan for urself to achieve. Coming out with this plan is not easy but it is most impt to have it ready as it will be ur blueprint to guide u along this fresh path. Of cos it is also paramount to revisit and review ur plan intermittently to ensure the plan is still relevant due to the new injections every now and then.

That brings me to my next talking point, some person mentioned b4 tat sometimes i tink too much on certain matters and not tink enough for some other matters. Guess this is certainly a fair comment. i am only mortal and i can only cover angles that i classify as the most impt or are within my scope and capacity to monitor. Hence, to make a person more complete, a partner is essential to be there. To be there to cover the remaining angles. This theory means that a couple should complement each other. It is certainly not a gd move to tell ur partner wat u are concerned abt now is not impt and what i am concerned is more impt. it is essential for the couple to strike a balance somewhere and be able to achieve greater things as one!
