Today (February 03), I gave two talks to Fourth Formers of SMK Convent Klang – this being my first time at this school. Although the girls love to encircle me with murmuring choruses of conversational noise – I enjoyed myself because they are generally pretty responsive, and hehe…, they laughed at my jokes also wad.
Dr. Paul Chan has mentioned that he has been trying hard to find cheerful news to share with us, but alas, today’s news is all “gloom and doom”. I know it too. Everywhere, it’s just depressing news, but today, that is the reality.
Just to illustrate: I stumbled upon Yahoo! Tech News innocently enough, and came across today’s posting bearing this awful headline: “Motorola loses $3.6b, suspends dividend, CFO exits”. Reading further, CFO Paul Liska, was appointed only last February – which means that he lasted just under one year. Motorola gave no reason for his departure but I find this alarming still.
Vicky sent me the ADP projected numbers for this year that I must deliver, and told me to “read and weep”! Yes, they are extremely challenging! I am supposed to bring in 250 new students this year. With 20 in the bag for January, I need to have about 115 students for each of the remaining 2 intakes, to meet my targets! What can I say? I just love challenges, especially demanding ones. If I can pull this off, I will fly to the moon! I guess, this aptly describes the challenge the targets represent!
