Evaluation Workshop 8/11/08

This is my 2nd time organising evaluation workshop.

When I needed assistance, all of them were girls.

But I managed to get them to help me. However, I faced many challenges before making it a succesful one.

I went to the hall at 11am. The workshop commences at 2pm only but the participnats will be there at 1pm for lunch. It means, I have to get everything done by 1pm.

The first hurdle was the table & chair arrangement in the room. I told the HR personnel to arrange it on Friday, but she dithched me. It was not arranged. So I have to arrange it on my own. The tables were really heavy (my mgt is so smart, they bought that heavy table so that thief cant steal the tables).

Once I finished arrangn the tables and chairs, I had to go and buy water at minimart (500M away from my office). 1 box contains 2dozen of bottles. I need 2 box but I cant carry 2 box at 1 time. So I had to go to the minimart twice. When I delivered the 2nd box, my shirt already wet.

Then goes the food side, the caterer was there with the food. I had to arrange the food and supporting materials i.e fork, spoon, tissue, sauce n plates.

Once that was done, next goes to the printing side. I had to finalise the agenda and print it. Then the evaluation manual for 2 of the role players and the registration list. Finnally the test speaker forgot to bring her manual, so i needed to copy her speech section.

Once i finished printing, I had to go the reception counter, which is also the registration counter to arrange the materials ang the list so that it wont be a havock during registration time. When I finished everything, thats where i had a little peace of mind. When I finished all my preparation, it was 1.15pm. Luckyly everyone came after 1.30pm.

Thank god, we started smoothly and ended smoothly although there were only 8 participants.

This shows that, if u want thnigs to change, frst u must change.

Marathon Dream

I have been going for road races since January 2001. Started with 10km and gradually increased to 15km, then to 21km ( Half Marathon ). Now my aim is to go for Marathon (42km). Iknow it's challenging, but there's no shortcut to success and Success Comes with Can's not Cant's.

My maximum distance was 27.6km which i did during KLIM circuit run (February 2007). My initial step will be joing the other runner for Long Run during weekends and then take part in Great Eastern Run under 30km category.

If i can overcome all this, then maraathon is no more problem. Lets see how it goes.

Finnaly I made it.

I came up with my own website (which was my dream to have 1)
