the world around me

this is about my old friend whom i first met 22 years ago. We lost touch for almost 15 years after we finished our 1 year pre service training and we are now working under the same big boss but at two different centers. She is a very talkative in nature. Articulative and very much has her own way and style of seeing things. As a result, i know there are colleagues who couldn't take it when she expressed her thoughts or perspectives. I don't share this problem for being good friends ourselves.

I somehow like her style. We had a professional chat this morning and it cleared off some doubts that i had about the two schools of thought on strategic planning in our institution. I thank you, friend!

exam year

2011 is an exam year to our family. Knowing that i have to set a conducive home atmosphere for them to study, i am thinking of terminating our cable tv and internet access. Some may think that i am turning myself to a cruel irrational mother that kids nowadays just couldn't live without having internet access especially. But things has gone out of my control. Too much time spent on the internet, movies, korean series and so on.

strategic planning

there was a couple times i had unsuccessful attempts to teach strategic planning. a topic i think shouldnt have any problem delivering. My confident level is rather high having thought i have gained enough drilling by doing a few years of compliance audit on schools' strategic planning. Recently, i had a golden opportunity to deliver the topic all by myself. It was indeed a meaningful experience.
