birthday

yesterday was a birthday of one of important person in history. he started as a man with lesser characteristic. then he turned into a charismatic one. I still intrigued by the transformation.

and I share the same birth date with the person.

intellectual discussion

we had an intellectual discussion on construction contract today. it was a heated one but quite fruitful. it had been a long time since I involved in a discussion where no one will say "I had the experience in that matter before. you're wrong".

advising session

an interview session I attended yesterday turned into an advise session by the sole interviewer. strange. wait for the outcome.

interview

I'm going to be interviewed again tomorrow.

just wait.

wonderful world

my second child is very excited she will be taking part in a school activity tomorrow.

they have such wonderful world to explore. they will learn more than I will ever know. good luck for our children and their tomorrow. as a parent, we should nurture this. do not ever taint their dream and vision.

wanted II - a new beginning

I received a phone called from an organisation asking me to see them next week. this will be another junction of so many junctions in my life. when my younger kid born at the time I left my home to work far away from home few years ago. I gave her a name which means 'the light of a new beginning'.

this may be another beginning that may end in yet another new beginning. but I hope the end of this beginning will be in 'the light'. regardless whether the end is a new beginning to another road or I finally reach a final road. but, let it be in 'the light'.

to the journey

being a leader

yesterday I had a chance to join a quality meeting chaired by one Project Manager. don't get me wrong. this project manager is managing a USD billions worth of project. his style of conducting a meeting, commanding respect and solving problems reminded me to someone else. she's a president who headed a yet another multi billion investment & development company. I worked in the company previously.

their style are strikingly similar. their focus are cannot be shattered. their skill of solving a problem is above others. they think out of the box. they trust their people. they both have a very clear direction of the way a project to be drove. and so on...

now I started to understand why my first boss, who's believed his 'on an auto-pilot mode of motivation' is a flawed leader.
