MBTI Course
Yesterday went for MBTI course.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
It's a full day course.
It's a course to understand own profiling, able to recognise self, and to appreciate others using the MBTI approach.
It's quite interesting.
So the trainner was explaining the basic concept of it.
We were then doing a self-evaluation based on how we understand ourselves.
I was ISTJ (Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging).
The other 4 type are Extrovert, iNtuition, Feeling, Perceiving.
Each person will be profiled into 4 letters.
I or E, S or N, T or F, J or P.
Then we were given a set of questionaires to answer to do a second profiling.
For mine, result was the same. In fact, it is skewed even higher in each of the profile.
Only 'J is moderate for me. The rest were Clear and Very Clear. LOL
Confirm and double confirm! :D
Thus, if you see me quiet quiet sit at one corner, please understand.
I am an "I". ;)

Zyan's Maiden Walk
This morning, went for the "Walk For Rice" event.
Reached Kampong Ubi CC around 8.15am. Brought 2 tickets. Zyan and myself.
My NC chairman already there, helping out with some of the logistics.
Helped to bring some of the drinking water for the participants up to the coach.
Not so bad. Bottle of water + banana for breakfast.
Coach left the CC, then headed towards Marina Bay Sands.
Took a group photo, and then the walk began.
It's a simple route, along the river bay, and go all the way to Marina Barrage.
it is quite a pleasant walk, except that the sun was a little strong.
Forgot to bring a cap for Zyan, kept nagging to me he was very hot. :P
Luckily, had a pack of gummy bear to distract him. :P
Not too bad, he managed to walk without getting me to carry him along the way.
*phew*
Took some pictures at the Marina Barrage area. Nice scenary.
Also, there are many activities happening.
There's a 24 hours non-stop run, seeing some youngsters kept running up and down the path.
There were people playing the giant air ball at Marina Barrage area.
Quite a cool scene for a hot Saturday morning. :)
Selfie taken with Zyan, and scenary shot:
After resting a while, the group proceeded to walk back to Marina Bay Sands.
Along the way, one of the NC member walked past us, carrying bottles of water for the participants.
I made Zyan helped to carry 1 packet.
He's very helpful, and showed me his muscle-man post to say he is very strong.
Ok. So let him carry 1 pack. Hehehe
He has to start his grassroots work also. Hahaha!
Of course, he didn't carry all the way, but already quite a good distance for his age/size and the pack of water weight.
Finally, reached back the starting point area. Took some pictures as well.
Looks nice with the pond of flowers and buildings in the background.
At the end point, Zyan being the active boy, still kept running around the place. Walk here walk there, just cannot sit very still.
Left him to do what he wanted to do, and I just sat there wan watch him roaming around the place, while waiting for everyone to gather back at the end point.
Lunch is provided. Each gets a pack of rice with vegetables, hard-boiled egg with chilli, fish fillet, and fish cake. Very good for a $2 ticket!
I think it is a good thing to do, walking for charity, and having a bonding time with my son.
Shall see what is the next event to attend to. :)

Another MPS
This morning, had a MPS session. Different MPS this time.
It's Meet Parent Session. :P
Every year, there are 2 Meet-Parents-Session from Zyan's school. One at mid-year, another at end of year.
We booked our slot at about 1040hrs.
First, it was with the English teacher. Generally, Zyan is coping well academically. He's also willing to help his other classmates with things he already know, which is good.
He's also able to do some mathematics without using tools. Wow! So pleased to hear right? Can save the money for sending him to abacus classes. :P
Only one thing that bothers the teacher a lot. It's his temper. He has a fixed idea of things to do. If something is not done to what he knew, he will make a big fuss out of it.
Example, if you put things at a particular location most of the time, and it happens that at times you put at convenient place, this Zyan will keep harping at you to put at the 'correct' place. And sometimes he can get very angry over such little things. Can be a cry baby at times over these too.
Alamak!
When he is angry, he tends to clench both his fists hard, and his whole body will become very stiff. Plus his face will look like having fumes coming out of his head.
Sometimes it can be quite scary.
It has become a little bit better, but I think more can be done.
Hmmmm
Then, we talked to the Chinese language teacher.
Again, he is able to read and converse well, so the teacher is not having problem to getting him understanding the lessons. Very good.
Again, comment from teacher is the same. His temperament at times can be, hmmm, hmmm ....
Sigh.

Now, what should we do?
Same comment. :P
Any class to address anger management for little kids? :P
Must show him more TLC liow.
Tender Loving Care.
Show him my *koochi koochi 手* :)

There's an event coming up next Saturday, 15 Nov 2014.
It's called Walk For Rice.
It's a fund raising event, organised by Kembangan-CC AAC with Eunosvill and Telok Kurau North Neighbourhood Committee. For every 200 metres distance walked, 1 bowl of white and brown rice will be donated to the needy residents.
You walk. The needy residents benefit. Good deal or great deal?

The date has been fixed on 15 November 2014 (Saturday), from 0830hrs to 1200hrs. It's about 3km of walk from Marina Bay Sands to Gardens By The Bay, and back.
There will be pick-up point at either Kampong Ubi or Kembangan CC to bring participants to the starting point.
It costs only $2 to join this event, and you will get light breakfast & lunch, plus the 2-way transport from the pick-up point.
Hehehe. This picture is taken off the notice board at Kampong Ubi CC, may not be the most clear of all. :P
Anyway, details are listeed above anyway.
If you have problem registering, can always let me know. :)

Volunteer You Volunteer Me
This morning, had to attend the Annual Work Plan Meeting with Kembangan CC.
I'm involved in some volunteer work with the Grassroots. Still figuring out the way things work within there.
It's held at National Library. Level 16 is a restricted area, just a place to conduct seminars or reception kind of things.
Quite a nice view up there, just that the weather wasn't great at the time.
Here are some pictures taken from there. C@@L.
This is the panaromic view where the slides projection is. The lightings made it hard to see the screen actually.
Some hazy views of the surroundings.
We were given a tour of the library. They brought us to level 7, where they house mainly the business, science and technoogy publications. Lots of students were studying there, as A-Level examinations are around the corner.
So long never come library, a bit sua-gu.
They also brought us to level 10, where they keep some of the special items from donors. Most of the items are kept in glass cabinet, where you can see, but can't touch. They also have this ma of the Silk Route, as shown below.
Quite interesting level, I must say.
Level 11, can't remember what they said. Oooops. I think it houses any publications that are available in Singapore, even magazines. Newspapers archive can be found here in microfilms too.
You can see Levels 12 and 13 from here, but you cannot go there. If browsing through the catalog, and if the items are found in Level 12 or 13, the library staff will help to get it, somehow.
Then went back to Level 16, to have the buffet lunch before the actual meeting begins.
I'm not particular with food, so doesn't matter if it is nice or not.
Basically, it goes through some of the activities that each Committee planned for the coming year 2015. Some major ones, some minor ones.
One of the activities, One Community Day, has been fixed as 01 Feb 2015. It is meant to coincide near CNY period.
It is already in preparation now, and this will need many volunteers to help do some work.
If I remember well, it is broken down into 3 different areas.
Rice distribution for the needies; Accommodation Cleanup for the needies/elderlies; and Appreciation Dinner for the Pioneer Generations (think not just restrictive to PG, but Senior Citizens).
There are many low income families in Chai Chee area. That's where our area of focus is.
I went to Eileen, who is overall in charge, to tell her slot me in any one of it. Will try to help out.
Anyone want to join me? :P
As part of this involvement in Grassroots work recently, I also participate to help in the Meet-the-People-Session.
Every Monday (except 5th Monday and Holiday), from 7.30pm onwards.
Now still observer stage, see how other volunteers help residents in their problems. Record down, and then send to various agencies to help them.
Quite an eye opener session to be involved in. This is where the real issues are reflected. Some are real, but still, some are fakes apparently.
Whatever it is, the volunteers will try to help as much as possible for these people.
I've done 2 rounds of observation, still 4-6 rounds to go before I can help more actively.
Meanwhile, watch and learn.
Come come, let's get involve, and make the little contribution that we can do.

Test Water
I finally got my water testing kit! Yesterday evening.
I brought it out with me today to work. Wanted to try it out, as well as show my colleagues the water that we drink.
The place is somewhere at Somerset, our client's office. :P
After our lunch, went back to the desk, and tried it out.
I should have brought along pure distilled water, but forgot.
Anyway, my main aim was to test it myself and see.
I tested 2 glasses of water.
One from tap water from the toilet.
The other from the water dispenser, and I chose the hot water.
First, I did a TSD meter test on the water.
The tap water reading was 9, and the dispenser water was .... 20!
Wah! POWER!!! NOT!
Then I tried doing the electrolysis test.
Put it on top of the 2 glasses, and waited and waited..... waited and waited.
Then concluded it as faulty, since the rod doesn't even feel warm.
D'uh!
Checked and checked and checked.
ALAMAK!
There's a power on/off switch hidden in a top compartment.
So switched it on, and waited.
Very fast, the water turns colour already.
The glass on the left is tap water, while the one on the right is the hot water from the water dispenser.
My colleagues Lai and Boby were a little amazed by the changing colours. :P
Somehow, I remembered it actually looked darker than the picture shown here. Not sure why. LOL!
That's why I try to drink more 'clean water' these days.
Still need to figure out how to put the water filter system when I buy it the next time.
Don't know where to put. Sigh.
Who want to test your home water?
Let me know. I very kpoh 1. :P
Hahaha
