It has been said, 'time heals all wonds.' I do not agree.
The wounds reamin. In time, the mind,protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.

LTT Day 2

Day 2
Much more motivated to do filing today
(Guess is the effect of a good swim last night)
Learn a lot today
Learn how file evenly today, how to use a hack saw
How to do centre punches. etc.

I would say I am about 70% done on my work piece
Tomorrow will be the last day to work on my U-block
Sort of afraid I can’t finish it on time
Guess tomorrow we will know

Countdown: 123 days left

Self Reflective Entry

Ever since holidays start, things have been going upside down and haywire. I was busy with Work, NCC, Driving Lesson, etc. Don’t really even have time for myself.

Now on leave so not working till school starts, not really busy with NCC, not busy with studies yet, it certainly gives me time to ponder, reflect and plan, before school starts and the hectic schedule begins.

Was thinking lately why I have been working so hard over my holidays. It is all because of money, it is essential for anyone survival. Money, I guess everyone get troubled over it from time to time.

Then I thought about NCC. I no longer felt the satisfaction after conducting a unit training even when I know I have taught them well. Next lesson when they come back they will forget most of the things. My officers commented that the cadet’s information retention level is low hence they forgot what is taught. However on the other hand, I felt perhaps the teaching methods are wrong. Or maybe they are simply not interested and were force to attend training.

With Lufthansa Technical Training (LTT) commencing on Monday, I would say I will be missing in action (MIA) for a long period of time in NCC. Perhaps when I am back, more things would have change and I have no choice but to accept the things that have transform.

Next week, i will start my 3rd and last year at TP. Last semester GPA was 3.94, a drop of 0.01. The goal now is to maintain the 3.94 GPA till I graduate. It is going to be hard work no one ever told me it was easy.

3 days of holidays left
