What a popular interview question that must be! I don’t know why I was surprised by that question some months ago though! (At an interview with the JobsFactory on behalf of SGX- I emphasize factory) How does the JobsFactory know what an employer seeks in a propective employee? That puzzles me man!

What kind of answers do they expect? ‘Deadlines, challenges, excellence, rewards, personal growth’?? I reckon! 

How about ‘To learn.. Making a difference… being able to make some kind of impact on those around me, wherever I go’ for an answer? I guess that’s not what they wanted. Haha! But come to think of it, I think I was being kinda ‘emo’ and overly-idealistic. Hey, then again, what’s wrong! Must I conform.. tweak my answers to become like everyone else that they think would make an ideal scholar candidate?

‘This world is no factory… and God isn’t the horrible factory supervisor….’ Hah! Read this somewhere!

Primary Motivations include ideals, achievements, and self-expression.… Those motivated by ideals are guided by knowledge and principles…

Tempered Radical… If you want to push important cultural changes without damaging (your career), step softly.

Tempered radicals bear no banners; they sound no trumpets. Their ends are sweeping, but their means are mundane. They are firm in their commitments, yet flexible in the ways they fulfill them. Their actions may be small but can spread like a virus. They yearn for rapid change but trust in patience. They often work individually yet pull people together. Instead of stridently pressing their agendas, they start conversations. Rather than battling powerful foes, they seek powerful friends. And in the face of setbacks, they keep going. To do all this, tempered radicals understand revolutionary change for what it is - a phenomenon that can occur suddenly but more often than not requires time, commitment, and the patience to endure.

Taken from one of my readings in my ‘Management and Organisation’ class… I thought: This sounds like someone! Doesn’t it? (: (One of the rare interesting things of Biz school, much of which I often can’t make sense of.) Just a thought: How can we be radical in our faith…. in the world? In school? The workplace?

A SINGLE Perfectly Round Micro-Poached Egg

Check out that sweat man! Tt’s my sea salt sweatin it out for me! Haha! ",  Look at the SMOOTH edges! This is revolutionary discovery…. You can’t not try it! haha!

1. Crack ONE egg into chinese rice bowl (absolutely nothing else will go). Gives egg the perfect depth for even-cooking and roundness for great… pictures! hah!
2. Cover fully with a plate
3. Microwave on med-high for 40 seconds exactly. Ten seconds more and it’ll give a different story altogether. Depends on your machine; you’ll have to experiment a few times to make it perfect!
3. Spoon egg onto the plate, sprinkle some cracked pepper and sea salt
4. serve/eat IMMEDIATELY… Trust me, the residual heat will cook the egg further!
5. You have enjoyed a semi-cooked delicate whites, runny-yolked, healthy, poached and half-boiled-like egg. Perfection in one minute. How cool is that? Feel pro for that 40 seconds of cooking, and 3 seconds of slurping eggyness.

NB: Cooking two or more eggs at a go has a different formula. Then again, I don’t mind repeating this process to cook a second or third egg!

Mm…

Blessed day y’all! ",

I don’t feel like i’m in biz school… spent hours (& hours) on artwork… so far in all the projects… i’m not sure if this ’stupid’ perfectionist attitude i have towards all the visual/media work that i do, be it school, leisure work, or church…  i have:

1) edited an MNO video, much to my pleasant surprise (: switching between iMovie, iDVD & iMovie HD
2) burnt 150 bucks on Keynote for mac (the more power version of powerpoint), spent hours on designing slides, whose presentation was all for…. 3%… very clever mag…
3) now, i’m at it again… i have stats poster due soon! whoot.. i’m playing around with ‘Pages’ and photoshop now… hahah MAG, i’m gonna get so tired of this soon, this is fun, but it’s nothing to do with BUSINESS!
