This week's courses are all compulsory. There was course A on Monday and Course B on Monday and Tuesday. Course C is on Friday.

Can't elaborate on the content of A. It was really boring and I thought I was the only one from my workplace to attend the course on Monday. Turned out that I saw a familiar face during tea time. Some colleague from another dept who takes the same bus and mrt every now and then but whom I never spoke to. Decided to say hi and by the end of the day, I got to know two colleagues better. Yay.

As for B, I was really disappointed to miss it on Monday. Enjoyed it tremendously. First thing on Tuesday morning was to watch this really colourful video by Dewitt Jones. It was very inspirational and there was so much beauty in his pictures. He basically talked about unleashing one's creativity and its link to one's passion. That creativity wasn't a quality of a selected few but rather, it is something which can be unleashed in everyone if only the individual wants to. It was also a matter of honing one's technique, following one's intuition and placing oneself in places of potential. To not stop at the first right answer but to move on to find more right answers as there is not only one right answer.

Learned quite a lot of things from the course and hey, I got to play "Check In" too! SF/PL, I thought it was very useful in bonding a group. I believe our words came from the heart and we were no longer superiors vs subordinates, senior vs junior. We were peers.

The last activity we had was sharing our dreams. I really loved the way people talked about their dreams. There's this thing in their eyes, their body language. I felt really touched.

I'll share what I learned with you the next time we meet up.


Second good thing which happened this week was getting the ao dai for my DnD. I'm grateful to a few people for helping me; II for helping me spot the ao dai and actually collecting and passing it to me, Nut for initiating contact with the seller and making the transaction happen earlier than expected, MS for walking around with me to find something suitable when we went out for dinner the other day and even telling me where he saw something suitable.

Thanks. =)

Third good thing that happened. Before sunset is finally on screen!!! I'm going to watch it most probably next week. Yay.

Fourth good thing is that tomorrow, I'm closing a project which I've been doing for a few months! I'm so glad, so glad. Did the briefings today and it'll be up on the web tomorrow. Yay.

Crazy thing I did this week was to sign up for hip-hop classes which start in November. Not sure if I got a place but anyway, I think it's going to be fun. I asked the other colleagues but no one seems to be interested. Mr TMD says he's too old to breakdance (but hip hop isn't only about breakdancing?). He just wants to watch and (most probably laugh I know) when I do sign up. Rolls my eyes.

I'm so looking forward to Christmas. Even though I know this year's Christmas is not going to be any different from past years. Wonder if Corrinne May will hold a concert this year again? When is she releasing her 2nd album?
