Basically the three characters made up of Robert Downey, Jr Ben Stiller and Jack Black created a comedy version of 'The Pips' performance in year 1973. This video is so clever and hilarious..
The original version of 'The Pips'. Watch those smooth moves.
Yup, first day being instructor at nypgc. I swear its very much more comfortable than teaching secondary school students. At the same it really feels good being back to where I started off 5 years ago and contribute, afterall without this organisation I wouldn't be teaching now.
One of the very good takeaways from national service would be the skills to conduct lessons in a systematically and efficient way. It gives people the feeling of you really know your stuff, and that really gains confidence from your 'customer'. At the same time, being in the same position as them in the past enables me to know their needs and pinpoint the critical stuff which makes the lesson a smooth and fun one.
All in all, good organising skills, know your stuff well, know your 'customer's needs are some key factors in everything you want to achieve. I guess this is very much alike in sales line too..
It feels really good when people are coming back after lessons wanting to learn more, the smile on their faces tells me it has been a fruitful 1.5 hrs for them. What a wonderful thing being able to place your passion and work together. I wished~
I love teaching !

Nice comedy / romance movie. I'll say it scores 3.5 /5.
Has been going to EXPO everyday these few days, thanks to kianpeng for the free tickets which cost $230. National Achievers Congress, a seminar which gathers various world-renowned speakers to share their strategies and skill that will make money, at the same time promote their enrichment courses which cost thousands of dollars. Thou I'm not in sales line yet, I thought it would be good to just be there and pick up some useful skills.
Overall the seminar was pretty good, these gurus are really good at it, the way they try to convince you by thinking their way. The only thing I dislike is they will all end their session by promoting their stuff like enrichment courses and books etc. But well, I guess nobody would like to spend hours speaking to people and end up selling nothing too.
One of the more motivating speaker would be Joe Girard. He presented in a very humourous way and at the same time doing stunts like climbing ladders etc. He's also attested by World Guinness Book of World Records as the 'World Greatest Salesperson'. One of his book 'How to Sell anything to Anyone', recommend it to anyone whom you know to be in sales line too.
Labour Day
So how did you guys spent your Labour Day.. Haven't been meeting gf this week due to the seminar, so I better meet her today before she grumbles. =x Went to ikea tampanies and saw this thingy..
Its a shoe horn, I once saw Xavier using it (my platoon sergeant), its a tool to 'push' ur heals smoothly into ur shoe when you're wearing it instead of you squatting down and use ur fingers. Xavier claims that it protects your shoe, and its more hygiene. At that point of time, back in my mind I was just thinking ' yea right.. its just another tool for lazy bums~'
Yet I bought it today cause firstly I thought its nice but mainly because its cheap which cost only $1.80. When I was experimenting at home... lol~ this thingy is good man, I got the wow effect feeling how smooth my heals got into my shoe instantly without much effort. Okie, you guys must be thinking how 'sua ku' am I... FIRST TIME USING IT LUH.. CAN OR NOT.
Next we went Pasir ris park for some old school partoring, to fly kite. Too bad there isn't any wind, I guess the weather is just to hot this month, so our frisbee came into action. The fun part here is to see somebody tried so hard yet fail to catch it. Pretty amusing.. =x
Extra Income
yay~ Recieved a call from Michael today, and was asked to be one of the instructor for this coming NYP Guitar Enrichment Course. That means extra income coming in ! To think I was once a noobie learning guitar in this very same course, and today I'm teaching there.. Time flies man~ so, I'll be teaching every monday and thursday night, if you're interested as well, let me know.. teach you at a cheaper rate k..
American Idol Season 7
Finally some justice here in the Top 5 Elimination. Brooke White is out, I guess she could be a good entertainer in pubs, sadly to say, not in this competition. Search youtube for the various performances.
Thats all Folks.
