My Swedish Homework
The above assignment is from page 12 of the book, Swedish Tutor. My goal is to attempt all the writing exercises and post them here. This is my första (first) homework from the första chapter of the book for niva (level) A1/A2. Until the next läxa (homework), hej då (bye)!
My 2009 Conference Presentation
This is a presentation I created in 2009 when I was invited as a guest speaker at an international conference in Singapore organized by the Asia Business Forum (ABF). It was an all-expense paid trip and I got to attend the whole conference too. My topic was CAREER PROGRESSION FOR PAs AND EXECUTIVE ASSISTANTS.
Åh nej, Bruno!
I bought ÅH NEJ, BRUNO! more than a year ago while I was in Stockholm. It was the first week of March and super cold. I was strolling around town in the near 0°C temperature and ended up in a small bookshop (surprise, surprise!) in the Stockholm Central Station. This lovely, orange-colored board book stays on my bookshelf until today and I finally felt that it is time. It is time I try to read it with my limited comprehension of Swedish.
Project Management Professional (PMP)®
25 July 2017: I passed my Project Management Professional (PMP)® exam today on my first try!
Combining my work experience with this certification, I can now be an even better project manager. It is my hope to continue to do my best and be a valued member at work. In this post, I'd like to chronicle my PMP journey.
Big Magic
BIG MAGIC by Elizabeth Gilbert is a joy to read. Mail on Sunday says the book is “brimming with positive ways to think about creative living.” Huffington Post says “I have profoundly changed my approach to creating since I read this book.” Harper's Bazaar says “Gilbert demystifies the creative process, [...]” and I, Alice Teh, agree wholeheartedly with everything that has been said.
I say please read this book. Gilbert encourages us to face and accept our fears of creativity. She encourages us to [...]
SwedishPod101
I took a two-week break from Swedish language and now I'm back! I joined SwedishPod101. The most recent module I completed is called Getting Started with SwedishPod101.com and it contains 10 lessons.
What I like most about SwedishPod101 are its audio lessons, notes and transcripts, which are all downloadable if one is a “Premium” subscriber.
My 31 Practices
I’m currently reading MY 31 PRACTICES by Alan Williams and Steve Payne (illustrated by John Montgomery), and have just finished the chapter Habit. At the start of the said chapter, the authors are talking about the Hook Model (Trigger/Action/Variable Reward/Investment) and the Habit Loop (Cue/Routine/Reward). Towards the end they provided an illustration of the approach.
I decided to “test drive” the concepts by adapting them in the context of my Swedish language learning with Duolingo.
Kedi
The day for me to watch KEDI at The Projector has finally arrived. Tucked away in the Golden Mile Tower, The Projector is a hidden gem. It's also one of my favorite spots in Singapore. "Kedi" means cat in Turkish.
At 4 PM-ish I bought a pint of draft beer at the Intermission Bar and promptly deposited myself into the Green Room.
