It's being one more week of work and it's already the third week. It's fast. How much have I learnt? Well, I would say the progress has been slowed down considerably and that's inevitable. Just like a reaction curve, the initial progress is always fast as there are a lot of substrates and high frequency collision will occur. As the reaction proceeds, lesser collision and slower reaction. I'm reaching that stage, and what's left is for me to go for the SIEMENS hearing consultation course to know more, before I can be certified.

Hanging ard in the office for the time being, going out to help out in certain events at time has given me some valuable experiences. However, I don't really like the feeling of acting as a receptionist. When I do shift to the branch at East point, I will be responsible for the recep counter as well, since it's a 2-man team. We'll each have to handle most of the stuffs ourselves. I don't think I'll have any problem with that.. honestly, I don't think you need a Uni grad to do that job, and if you think it's that tough with so many things to learn, you are underestimating me. I don't like the nature of being a recep, and I hope I won't have to deal with too much of it. If not that may be the last straw for me.

Being green at a location, you have to be humble and attentive to the details, as you are supposed to be learning. What if you have opinions and you notice something wrong/ can be improved? Do you go ahead and inform them, or just leave it as it is, since they are "seniors", Some respects need to be given? I believe in a level platform, where anybody has a voice to speak as long as it's valid. But workplace is workplace, not my home and I will have to be more careful and be politically sensitive with regards to such situations. I won't stay at this office for long, just have to keep going, until I head out to my perm location in east point.

Using the spare time I have to do admin stuff, like finding out on CPF loans, housing, Triathlon, Australia, and of cos not forgetting reading up on hearing related materials. It is pretty good in that aspect that I have time to do those things, but I want something to keep me on my feet more often. I need something challenging and analytical..

No time for Training recently and I had to force myself to go running at 10pm yesterday after one full day of work and tuition at night. I was tired, but just have to do it... and many a times, it's just a matter of whether you want to.. I'm left with 2 months to train for SCSM, mileage has to increase exponentially if not I'm so screwed. How am I going to squeeze in time to swim/cycle? I guess I'll find a way to. Still aiming for a full Ironman next yr, although I think it may be better for a half first and save some money to upgrade to a tri-bike before I do so.

If there's a will there's a way.

Will is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.

I totally agree and feel for this phrase, and I will live to internalise within me.
