singapore hit awards 2009



Singapore hit awards 2009 is an event in the Chinese music industry, jointly organised by Mediacorp 93.3FM and Channel U. It will be stage on Friday, 6th Nov at 730pm at S'pore Indoor Stadium. with artistes from China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore vying for top honours in this awards ceremony. I think should be exciting and can learn how this event is run.

Abigial helped to get the ticket for next Friday event. Quite a number of polydins peeps going to observe how the event is run and also to enjoy the annual Mandarin pop song award event. Initially, I can't make it next Friday but seems that one of the appointment is cancelled so I can GOOOOOO!

I'm a student again!

I started with my personal development plan. My 1st upgrading training is to improve my English language. Thanks to Fenny, our HR manager who source out possible English tutor for me.

Well I started my 1st tution with this American-German english tutor last night. I felt soo good to be a student again. I asked, questioned, went through few tests on gramma and we have a full 2 hours on that.

Before meeting her, I was a little nervous yet excited. I really hope I can improve my English gramma and vocabulary with leaps and bounds after 4-5 one-one sessions.

Every leader is a learner. Every leader identify areas of upgrading so that we can be a more competent leader - skills, knowledge or attitudes.

Well, here are my English workbook that I need to complete 1-2 chapters before I meet Kathleen again.

So wish me "blessed" and I will work hard to move my English level to another whole new level!

Voiceless days













Well, I lost my voice 2 weeks ago and it lasted for 4 days. I wannted to post this blog but had procrastinated for some time and here it goes...

Those who knows me will know that it was a struggle for me if I can't talk. So it was a interesting experience for me. I lost my voice immediately after NG8 sub D meeting. hohoho!

When some polydins peeps suppose to meet me for dinner on 2 Sundays ago, they all made the same comment abt me - Jasmine, you are so demure and gentle!!!! my goodness, because I speak really softly!

And because of that, Leanne stand in and preach on that weekend. Thanks sis! Appreciate you as you could see and hear how I sould on Tuesday during the members meeting!

Then on Wed, during the management meeting, everyone kept very quiet and they leaned forward to listen to me. Wow, many of them commented that I was so gentle that day.

Well, initially I struggled with my inability to speak. Then on 2nd and 3rd day, I started to get use to it. And many close friends commented that probably I can learn so much more on listening than speaking.

So what's my reflections during those days....


1. The only way for me to be demure is when I lose my voice? maybe?
2. To get people to listen, speak softly so they will try to listen.
3. A leader lead by listening - A quiet leader!
4. I'm grateful to God that I can speak again.
5. To skip preaching, one effective way is to lose your voice?!?!?!?! (not a bad idea for all the pastors!)
