D-Day

1st April is the D-day... and it's 2 hrs plus away. Been preparing for this all these while. So busy, and tired too. It's been taking up to 14 hrs of my daily time. Today will be a long night. I wish all will go well.

The Doctor found dead in Melbourne

We know his name is Alex. However, I just got an e-mail and it apparently is a suicide note that he send just before he was found dead at a bridge in Melbourne, Australia.

Here's an extract...

Well.... I will not put up the who e-mail. But it sure is sad to read about this young man who had such potential to seek death as a solution. I feel for him, perhaps cos I was in SAF before and I am around his age too....

Sad.

Interview

Quick Update. Most people who apply for managerial positions / leadership positions read the newspapers. They are aware and they at least read up The Straits Times (one of the world's worst newspapers). People applying for lower level jobs generally do not read the papers and are ignorant of what's happening out there.

The impression is form when the candidate walks to his seat. The rest of the interview is just to confirm that first impression.

Attitude not only determines altitude, it determines if you'll every get to be airborne or not. People with lousy attitude will definitely fail the interview. Pride comes before a fall.
