It was 1.30am in the morning yesterday when I got started with the business proposal for an education project. By the time I am satiesfied with the entire content and deliverable, it is nearly 7am in the morning! The sound of birds chirping on a Sunday morning... very soothing indeed. I decided to take a nap as I'm attending a seminar for all YECs Chairmen at 8.30am at The Grassroots Club.


Start of Day

Went to bed at 6.40am and got up at 7.45am and as usual, I felt recharged and fresh again. That's the power of deep sleeping. I was at The Grassroots Club at about 8.20am and was the only other Chairmen whom is first to arrive. I met a gentleman in the lift whom I said "Hello" to and introduced myself. Found out that he's a YEC Chairman from Toa Payoh South CC.

Both of us clicked well as we build rapport, exchange views and ideas. Hai Tat is a smart man. I enjoyed his company throughout the day later.


The Arrival of the Other Chairmen

Then the other Chairmen starts arriving... familiar faces like Alvin (Woodlands CC YEC), Shaikh (Nee Soon Central YEC), Ismawati (Canberra YEC) and Kok Leong (Bukit Panjang YEC) arrived. As usual, I wear my networker hat and network with the new faces. Met up with Faiz, a 21-year old student whom enjoys studying and wished that he could study for the rest of his live. Interesting view indeed.

I decided to form our party alliance. Hahahha... apparently they all liked my "manifesto" and I managed to quickly convinced them to join "my party". For the next half of the day, we had a lot of fun exchanging views while the presenter shares his information.


Information Exposed!

All the Chairmen were exposed to very interesting information. One of them was the Community Emergency Response Team or CERT for short (definitely not the Computer Emergency Response Team). CERT is initiated by the Singapore Civil Defense Force.

The objective of CERT is develop their own localized self-help response unit at the residential level to provide faster emergency response service to the community. In times of an emergency, the CERT members will be activated by the Civil Defence Executive Committees and they will be the first to respond to the incident site prior to the arrival of the professional emergency responders. At the site, the CERT will assist to evacuate the residents to places of safety, help to put out incipient fires and render basic first aid and CPR to those in need. The formation of CERT has received widespread support from the community and the grassroots.


Next NW-YEC Project?

Shaikh then highlighted to me that we should do a North-West YECs project together and get CERT to run a joint program with the YECs which I thought was a brilliant idea to prepare our youths and empower them with knowledge.

After the tea-break at 10.30am, we came back and sat through the next speaker, one Mr. Vas whom is an ex-army personnel and has now left the army to practise Neural Linguistics Programming as a coach through his company Leading Performance Pte Ltd.

It was a reminder for me as I learnt the basics of NLP at XL Results Foundation through Chief Coach, Dave Rogers during our Life Coaching and Wealth Coaching sessions.

Overall, the event was awesome! Thanks to the team from PAYM for organizing this event.

In early April 2006, I sign-up for the Excellerated Business School for Entrepreneurs (BSE) after a preview session held in Singapore by Executive-Directions. The seminar was held from 15 April to 23 April 2006 in Subang Jaya Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The BSE in KL was organized by GlobeSL Sdn Bhd. I left Singapore on 14 April via Transtar , the only 1st class coach service which has 16 seats to create a lot of room for your leg. They also provide hot meal during the journey with hot drinks on demand. The seats are equipped with a massage chair, a personal in-flight entertainment system on LCD screen, PC Games and the F&B Attendant will provide anything that you ask for. From newspaper, magazines, blanket, hot/cold drinks, a new set of earphones for the entertainment system... they have it all. They are most courteous and polite at all times. I truly enjoy the Transtar service. For SG$50 from Singapore to KL, it's worth it. I arrived in Subang Jaya Hotel at about 10p

Competition: How Eliminating This Word From Your Vocabulary Will Skyrocket Your Success

Competition: How Eliminating This Word From Your Vocabulary Will Skyrocket Your Success this essay is extracted from Rok SIVANTE's Facebook Notes . Click here for Rok SIVANTE Facebook Profile page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Competition. How much of business & economic theory has been based around the concept? What’s happened to this economy of ours, based on the scarcity model of which competition is a core principle? (For anyone who hasn’t picked up a newspaper in the last year - it hasn’t exactly been doing as hot as most would like) What are the consequences of continuing to operate in the world from a belief system dictating there must be a winner and a loser in all outcomes? Are your results really dependent on how others around you conduct their lives? Your success in business has NOTHING to do with the “competition.” What any other company or person is doing has NOTHING to
