Thanks mate. I stand myself corrected. I study from 5-6 am on the examination week. Even on the very crucial week itself, I cannot bring myself to get up at 5am everyday. I actually snooze the alarm clock up to 6 am than scramble at 6 - 7 am to study before preparing to go off to work. But I did give my heart and soul effort on the last two days before the exam's start. keke.
So, I read in another thread that you are studying too. So...care to share? -
[quote]Govt really sets aside much fund to give us for upgrading. Last time only up to diploma level and now can take it up to first degree and master's. If have time, all should go look see look see what course can take to benefit self (provide can afford the time).
I almost forever combing for courses for my staff. Those Office Skills, PR workshops, Diploma in Business (actually good for centre supervisors to have this or else most of them only know about kids and not much of business and ultimately some of these supervisors will be an owner one day). I am all to train staff to be the best that they can be but just too bad that most of them are not interested. Everyone in my centre can attend Office Skills course (cost to me about $70 and govt subsidise about $150, around there) for a 3-day course but many just not interested and it's kind of made me sad (or disappointed). Personally, I took full advantage of the fund to attend all the Word / Excel / Access Expert level coz why not?? (I took part time 8 lessons x 3 hours per week). Skills and knowledge that are added on to self are just additional assets that are good to have...[/quote]I am one of those not interested, very reluctant individual to take up courses and studies. Of course, personally, I do have plans to take up leisure/hobby courses that I found interesting like piano and professional baking.
But my boss set 1 course per quarter and even dictate which course we are supposed to attend. Now sure why of all the colleague I am chosen for \"7 habits of effective leader\" course and the next will be advance excel because she thinks that the old and the new software version is completely different. Wonder how she comes into that conclusion when I am the only one in the office with the lastest software version and the rest still use the old one. Haiz. -
Hi Schellen & Sashimi aka the lovely couple
Nice to know that both of you are taking up the same course. Is this course needed for your daily work or is it for pleasure?
So, do you converse with each other in Japanese when you are talking about dd in front of her and not wanting her to know?

I've \"graduated\" from taking normal Japanese courses for now but sashimi is still learning. Yes, it's needed for my daily work but I acquired the skill before I got the job. I just decided to continue several years after I first picked up the skill, to refresh and have fun, since like sashimi said, the pace is slow so it's suitable for busy working people.Hi Schellen & Sashimi aka the lovely couple

We do use Jap sometimes but sashimi's Jap still has a long way to go so sometimes, he doesn't understand me too. DD may sometimes ask us what we said so we may use a mixture of \"cheem\" Mandarin, simple Jap and basic Hokkien to converse if we are talking about her. If she asks, we may not give her the whole truth. However, it does make her want to learn more about the languages...for a while. :roll:

For me, pretty much for pleasure - I love the Japanese people and their culture, not to mention their big robots. And beautiful women.

Yes - actually in the beginning schellen threatened to teach DD to speak Japanese so that they could talk \"behind my back\" in front of me. But now, we have in fact on occasion spoken in Japanese so that DD doesn't understand what we're saying. It's very useful. Hee hee. -

Don't be surprised when your DD starts understanding a little Japanese. Kids can really pick up languages very well.

DW and I used to talk behind DD using Cantonese. Now DD pretty much can converse a little in Cantonese!
But I guess that's one good way to get them interested and pick up another language. -

Be very very careful. I agree with BigDevil. Your dd might one day just pick up the language naturally.

Don't worry, I look for the \"ikemen\". :drool:
7.7. What is an ikemen?
Ikemen comes from Japanese ikeru \"cool\", \"good\", \"exciting\" and men (é¢) \"face\". It is used for a good-looking man, for example Kimutaku (Kimura Takuya). The men in ikemen has nothing to do with the English word \"men\".
