Moblisation Exercise

30 Nov 10 @ 3pm ++, hp started beeping...Incoming message read
" [OpsRED2] BPLRT system wide power failure [Update]: RIMP activated. "

But no one in the office moves. I felt weird that I didnt receive the sms for this.
I sms my team leader on the activiation message and his reply message came
" Please report to Choa Chu Kang Mrt stn (CCK) now. RIMP activitated. Thanks"

I jumped into action, shut off my PC and off to take the transport out of office.
By the time I reach CCK at 5:45pm, the service has long been resumed. But we cant go off yet because CCK is our zone area, so we are still on stand-BY.

My zone area: Woodlands to Choa Chua Kang Mrt Stn.
And a moblisation exercise like yesteday ended at 7.10pm when we received sms to STEP-DOWN.

Yes, I am part of the Customer Service Team (CST) and this is one of the many CCAs that I'm doing. My other CCAs include being:
*green office of my dept
*IT coorindator of my dept
*1st aider of my dept
*Internal auditor of ISO 18001 & 14001

The CCAs are all interesting and it opens me to different areas which I would have never explore on my own. However... if they were to eat into my after-office hours, this is something which I am not too willing to compromise.

I am a strong adovcate of work-life balance.

My dream. My Degree Cert.

Date: 23 Nov 10.
It was a tuesday late morning and I was sitting in front of my PC (as usual).
An email came it. It was from Ms Sharon of HR Dept and her mail read
"Congratulations, you have passed through the first level of shortlisting for the LEAP. We will like to invite you for the panel interview that is taking place this Friday (26 Nov), 3.15pm at SMRT HQ, meeting room A2-2."

This is my dream. My Degree cert. (to-be)



My application for my degree course sponsorship successful cleared stage 1. Next is stage 2 and also the final stage - PANEL Interview which comprises of 3 interviewers from Vice President level. VP level is 1 level abv HOD.

(Wide smile) I can't hide my excitement and started sharing this piece of good news with my dear family and a few closer colleagues.
Lots of congratulation & encouragement words from them but deep inside I started to feel nervous about the interview because I know if I'm not well-prepared this time round, I would face the same results 5 years ago.

Seems like back to poly days when I would try to spot exam questions.
I did a few and is pretty satisfed with the answers after edition (with the help of my supporting spouse).

Example? Ok, here's one of them.
Why do you choose the course? How does it relate to your work?
I always have an interest in Business Management and this course will provide me with the appropriate knowledge in this aspect. At the same time, it also provides me a chance in attaining my dream in getting a degree.

Isnt it beautifully answered? (Wide-silly smiley face)
(raise arm) For tomorrow's panel INTERVIEW. Gambete~O !!!

ExtraOrdinary Job

LOOK at this SHIP!

Does this ship look like Pirates of the Carribean ship?
A pirate ship ?!? hee hee. Jokes aside, this is one of the DREAM ship of my supporting spouse =p

Our luck to chance upon this ship when it stopped over @ S'pore for some repair works before heading back to SPAIN after it's exhibit in China.

Imagine that the job of these people on board this ship is to sail round the world to exhibit and promo abt this ship. WOW!

Being the typical Capricorn, always needing a sense of security, I can't help but wonder...do these crew even afraid of running into REAL Pirates when they out there sailing?

I voiced my question aloud and to this, my supporting spouse replied me with a laugh... CAN'T YOU SEE THEY HAVE CANONS ONBOARD???

My SMRT Run 2010 - 29 Oct

Oh Yess. the run is over and it had my body aching for a week !
And the results? the overall champion goes... to RED Team ! (music) We are the champion ~
Before the run we were only confident of getting the team honors for Ladies Open and Ladies Veteran Category.

The timing guideline that Stephen gave me was 30-35min for average runner. below 25min is good. And how do I fare individually on the actual day? Much faster than I expected !

I was in the 7th position in Ladies Open Category but it's the timing that got me real excited ! the timing was... 28 min 20 sec !

WohOOoo.... this was a whole 7 min faster than my normal training!
and the 4th position's timing was just 20 sec earlier than me !

Take a look @ my 2 medal: individual and Ladies Open Team. Im not the only one who was thrilled. The boys were too. YuXiang: MaMA, thank YOu (for the medal).
