Am i lucky?

Yesterday i went to DTE to meet a erm.. head of a unit. He is also my relative, though i don't know in what way we are related.
He was the one who submitted my name for the training at seameo. He actually wanted to see my report on the training and then found out that no one had actually told me about the sort of report i was supposed to write. Some said that type of report is no longer required because no one would be reading. But according to him, using himself as example, his report was read by SUT.

Hmm... no matter it would be read or not, i think that is a good idea. It's like a record of what a person has gained from any conference or training he or she has attended. I plan to start doing that in the future.


If you're often sent for training or industrial attachment or attending conference or seminar, would you consider that as a good thing or bad thing?
I realised that some colleagues of mine don't like that. They consider that as a boring or tiring task. There is also another group who loves it because they see that as a chance to escape from school.
For me, i love it too because this kind of things doesn't happen every day. There are so many people working under the same ministry and yet you're the one who get the opportunity. You get to meet people, get to expose yourself to new perspective, get to know the latest technology or progress in that field and it's all for free. You don't even have to spend a single cent. How nice it is, right?

Unfortunately, many people don't see this point.

I realised i am a lucky one. There are always experienced or senior people come and go beside me, giving me advices and tips to succeed. It's like, people offer to help me, before i open my mouth to ask for help. And i really enjoy talking with people with lots of experienced or life exposure. They always give me new ideas or inspirations.

There's a chinese saying: 家有一老如有一宝 (roughly means an elder is like a treasure).
I totally agree with that saying. But i think i need more patience to talk with certain elders because not all of them are wise and friendly. Haha bad me. Just wait and see what kind of elder i'll turn out to be when i grow old.

I really wish our people can be more grateful and don't always take things for granted. Most of our young people are takers, they are not used to giving or working hard to get what they want. They expect things they want will come to them just by asking for it.
So sometimes i have the impulsion to teach in kindergarden. Because if i want to change the mindset of the people, it's more effective to influence them when they're young. When they come to teenage, nothing will get into their head, except for the things they like.

Looking at the young people or kids nowadays, i don't want to have kids because i'm not confident to teach them the true value of life. But it's still early to say anything now, anyway.

Tomorrow is a public holiday. Enjoy ladies, and rest well. Tata~
