Its more than a year since my last post.  My excuse?  None.  I had been plain lazy.  Age must be catching up too as I seemed to be losing focus.  I have completed my diploma course last June 12 and then took on a survey (WISE under IMH) job from Oct 12 to Jan 13.  It was an interesting job having to meet and learn from so many of the interviewees all of which were above 60 years of age,  The oldest interviewee was a Malay man in his 90s who could still ride a bicycle.  Its amazing, and mental-wise he was still very alert.  He has very filial children and was a pious man - which I believed gave him much spiritual strength and calmness.  I started another job at a VWO in Feb 13, as a centre manager.  It was a new responsibility in a new work environment and with not much guidance from the manager who was leaving. It was quite a struggle having to figure out how everything functioned with the said manager repeatedly reminding me to "see and wait (at least 6 months)" before starting any of my own initiative.  Many things seemed so complicated and convoluted.  Now after 5 months on the job, I find that all such 'complications' had been self-created, either out of ignorance or made to scare others. Whatever, the job of planning and coordinating programs for the seniors with the sole purpose of 'drawing' them out from their small 1-room dwelling to prevent depression and minimise isolation has been very interesting.  As of now, the job seemed ok EXCEPT for the fact that the organisation I am in lacks systems - no proper rules and guidance,  Not even an overall organisation chart when I asked for it. I just cross my fingers that things (in the organisation) will change, for the better.
