Activities

A number of activities associated with my company happened at past two weeks. First, I had engaged to a parent company program and asked to join the morning tea break with our parent company CEO and also the Vice President of Human Resource. This program was conducted on 3^rd of August at Menara TM. I was able to hear it myself the expectation of our parent CEO regarding our company. I think that it’s a big challenge ahead for our company. Then, I was also asked to join the program related to “Effective Personal Productivity”. Perhaps, I am not too productivity in the eyes of our management. I have just read the first lesson of the program and it keep emphasizing on attitude changing and proper time investment. I think that this course is particular good for those peoples who are not doing his/her post mortem every year. It just a program that systematically drawing up what actually you have done and whether you are doing your high payoff activities or not. The founder of this course is a Salesman called Paul J. Meyer.

I also resume my German class A2.2 at Goethe Institute starting end of July. I always believe that learning German is not only the language itself but also learning the culture and thinking of German peoples. But this time, my teacher is again from Austria, and not German. So it’s hard to say whether I really learn the German culture. Anyway, Austria is a German speaking country and if you look at the history, Austria is heavily linked with German. Let introduce myself in German….

“Hier stelle ich mich vor. Ich heiße Yeoh. Ich kommt aus Penang, aber ich wohne jetzt in PJ. Ich bin neunundzwanzig Jahre alt. Ich bin Ingenieur von Beruf. Ich arbeite bei die Firma für Forschung und Entwicklung. Ich freue mich, weil ich eine schön Freundin habe.”

By the way, I watched the movie "Adolf Hitler" with my gf last night. When Reichstag was on fire, Hitler used this excuse to suppress his major opponent, German Communist Party and claimed that it was “for the Protection of the people and the State”. He regained his supreme political power and managed to push his political agenda later on. It remembers me about the May 13 incident which shapes the political situation in our country. Who is actually responsible for this incident?
