DuhEconomist's 2007
Some pple do their reviews for the old year before it actually leaves and make their plans for the new year before it actually arrives.. Some pple do it on the spot when someone frm the first grp asks them "So what are your resolutions for the new year?".. Some pple don't really care...
Some pple do their plans and reviews long long ago but dont get the chance to put anything online until way later and end up having to write a whole lot of nonesense to excuse their procrastination...
2007 according to the DuhEconomist
January: it's nice being on course, you get to celebrate every public holiday without fear of suddenly being made to work...
February: Still on course. Work piles up and pace intensifies. Project follows test follows project... Nevertheless it's a fulfilling feeling... Chinese New Year! First time i've celebrated this in SG after 3 years away... it's nice and refreshing, even though i had to spend 'Chu Er' working on navigation stuff...
March: i pass out! No, from the course... A very delightful 'A grade' and 6th place... Things are sailing smoothly and fantastically! Thank God!
April: Dark clouds over the horizon... My Dad falls and injures himself.. ok, more accurately -- some drunkard pushes my Dad and injures him... Despite much initial unwillingness, my company sends me on a month long overseas attachment...
May: i spend almost the entire month in a sailing ship in the Americas... i hav never missed home so much before, not even when i was in London... But it was a pleasant surprise to be able to travel so far away again so soon after returning to SG... i'm at least thankful for tt..
June: Adults Convention comes and goes and i get a new CG in church... Slightly puzzled over the new arrangement but i guess it's an opportunity to do new things... CPT emplacement means 1 more bar on my shoulders, a higher salary and the need to be even more professional in my work and training...
July: i fail my NavC assessment, the first thing i've failed since Japanese in Sec 1, which was half a lifetime ago... extremely disappointing... More nonesense falls on my lap becos of this failure... i've never had a worse birthday... PF and God comes to the rescue thru a really really long phonecall...
Aug-Sep: National Day comes and goes... Manex assessment comes but my boss doesn't recommend me for it... i fight my on-off struggle w disappointment and failure... Some friends finish their training and get their appointments... 'Am i really that sux?' =|
Oct: i make myself move on... i pass my pilotage assessment... i'm determined to be the best damned navigator in the organisation even if nobody knows or recognizes... but first, clear some leave and take a break..
Nov: IPPT looms around the corner and threatens to destroy everything i've worked so hard for... then suddenly, i clear my IPPT! suddenly, i also clear up some conflicts with ML! this is a nice feeling...
Dec: Manex assessment comes and i fail it! What the heck, why can't i pass any practical test? Thank God all these happen before the 25th... Christmas comes along and cheers me up... i do a review of 2007 and realise tt life is hard and i'm not as strong as i thought i was and i need to depend more on God...
