Scouty’s Weblog

Last week was quite an interesting week for me. Had finally settled down with my new project group, perhaps having been together for 3 years, it doesn;t take long before we break the ice and start cracking jokes. Well, as usual being the joker, I will always come up with something crappy to get the rest started. So lessons had been rather enjoyable thus far. Furthermore the lecturer has an unique way of teaching due to the PBL style of learning. So far we had been doing matching, fill in the blanks and cross-word puzzle for the past 3 topics. He will only explain certain concepts if he feels that we do not understand or when we asked. So it kind of feels weird for a rather theory subject to be presented in such a way. However looking at the topics, it does seems like most of them are kind of application based. Things like recruitment, selection process, training & development process etc.. Well, lucky I got my hands on the textbook from the library. So at least can do some self-reading to understand more.

Had went over to enquire for a degree programme last Friday. A distant learning programme with Murdoch University. With the programme conducted by SMA (School of Management, an affiliation of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation). So far so good, as due to our TP diploma, we can proceed to their year 2 and 3. Which will take us either 16 months or 20 months to complete the whole degree, depending on which duration we choose. The cost of the whole thing is also quite ok, everything in around 17K (round-up figure). However am still looking at a few others before deciding. As there are 1-2 more we might be looking at.

Had been home alone for the past few days. As my mum went to Hong Kong with my sis. So time for me to enjoy my days of being alone at home. Well, so far so good… coping well. Though have to admit it sure is tough when it comes to settling meals.. Had like instant noodles with chicken chop and those beancurd chicken, all frozen stuffs. Then spent like $10 just on dinner for Sunday, which comprises of 1 can of Clam Chowder soup, 1 loaf of bread (to go with the can of tuna at home), 1 pack of orange juice and 1 pack of potatoes chips. Hee.. guess its always a situation where, you win some and you lose some. So while I got my freedom and peacefulness for the few days, I have to source for my own food. Fun to a certain extent, but can get quite tiring, especially most of the outside food are pretty similar. Worse of all, the stupid market is under-going renovation.. If not could have bought some simple food and cook. Though there isn;t much stuffs I can cook for a start.. but at least there will be more choices.

Ok.. time to get some sleep. Since the weather has been nice and cooling due to the rain during the weekend. Chill now man!!!
