training, plans, trips, & my car to be! (+ pics!)

As much as I have my insecurities with my new job, like, I feel I'm not contributing enough etc. I do however enjoying the type of work I get to do. Understanding all 5 businesses within the Home Comfort Group. Learning practical supply chain concepts & process... Business operations... Feasibility analysis to come... I am invited to management dinners and meetings to learn! A flood of knowledge! I'm starting to dig up and apply uni work and notes to apply to my current work... I was lucky enough to go on a 4 days Proj Mgmt Cert IV training too!(2 days this week n 2 days next) Of coz, I will need to get assess before I get the Cert. Like, show prove of project work involvement throughout the project life cycle... I'm also finally getting AS400 queries training! Had Cognos (Cubes) Powerplay basic training... will be getting Ooptimiza basic training in sept... wow... I feel really good not stopping the information tsunami coming my way! Next step is to divert all these knowledge into practical use at work... I hope I live up to the standards!

In the mist of all these training and learning, I'm doing a low budget day trip to the snow this year this weekend! No fancy ski equipment or snow boards... just a fun day in the snow... Haven't been since 2000... time to see the snow again! Plus, it was a good season this year. Cold and lotsa snow.

This is just a planning stage and I really dont want to jinx it... coz i would really want the trip to succeed... but of coz i will need to walk in n out of a few agencies, do my homework before I just do it! Just go ahead and purchase a ticket to london! hopefully a cheap ticket to transit singapore for 2 weeks. In between london, do a trip to france, viist the louve and do the da vinci tour... and then in between singapore, head up to KL for 3 days. That is the plan... and will head to Hk for another trip in 2009...

Last update for the night! OVer the weekend, I paid a deposit for another CAR! Although not in my fav colour, but I reckon it looks pretty good in black, pretty stylish, pretty cool, and pretty funky... nice rims, nice recaro seats!!, nice GTi!!! and yes, I managed to get a VW Golf GTi within my budget with really impressive customer service from AUDI Centre brighton! After 2 weeks of horrible dealer service, this is like tip top! Agreed to all my terms, even the finance guy hired by the place was willing to match the interest rate I had in mind! Unfortunately, they wont get getting their commission from me taking up the finance as Dad will be earning the interest and the good AUD to SGD exchange rates! hehehe... wanna see my car-to-be?
