Book Exchange Corners @ NLB
Every month or so, I donate a few books from my personal library here in Singapore to the National Library Board (NLB), specifically the Central Public Library located at Victoria Street. Over the last 2.5 years of staying in Singapore, I have managed to accumulate quite a collection in my condo. It's amazing how one book can so quickly multiply into hundreds.
Something New, Something Called Corrigo
Heraclitus is known for his doctrine of change being central to the universe, and that is certainly true in my universe. In my 40 years of life (41 soon), I have come to love change and embrace it—change is good. I am very happy in my work-life, so to stir things up a bit, I recently took on a new role within my company and with that role comes a very steep learning curve. I had to learn an entirely new tool called Corrigo to be deployed in a month’s time for the new client I'd be managing.
PMI Sweden Chapter
I joined the PMI Sweden Chapter today! I'm also currently a member of the Malaysia and Singapore Chapters. I think joining the Chapter is a great way to keep myself up-to-date with materials relevant to my work AND improve the mastery of my Swedish language.
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.
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.
A Visit to My Sponsored Child in Myanmar
Earlier this month—in the first week of November—I went to the rural Pyapon in Myanmar to visit my sponsored child. The trip, organized by World Vision Malaysia, was one of the most amazing and fulfilling experiences of my life.
Fujifilm X-T1
After eight years of being the proud owner of a Nikon DSLR, I finally decided to get a new camera. I switched camp to Fujifilm. To a mirrorless camera. That's right, no more Nikon for me. I had many fond memories with my good old Nikon D40 for it had accompanied me to many places and countries.
My Learning Journey
I recently completed a 1.5-year Postgraduate Diploma in Management program. It has been an intensive 12 months of studying and business reading. With six A's and two B's in my bag, I'm glad it's over. This is actually an MBA program and I was supposed to complete a dissertation to earn the MBA but I decided to drop. With my results and track record, my professor had advised against dropping, but I stuck to my decision. I can now get back to more interesting stuff such as foreign languages (again—yay!)
