from the (resting) manager's desk

in just a couple of days, a large group of us will be heading northwards to our very first overseas dragon boat race. i remember the day when the suggestion first came to me for 'approval'. although i was reluctant, i believed that it was going to be a good learning journey for everyone in the team.
hence in that vein, there are a few lessons that i hope we would all learn through this experience of the overseas trip, no matter what capacity we are going as.
1) team onestroke: the team comes before anything. this is going to sound imperialistic but many times, we have to make sacrifices in order to participate in a team sport or be a part of the leadership. we are not mere about getting the right one stroke that coach is drilling in us. 
for those who are heading to penang, know that regardless of performance and background, you are part of a greater family, a family  we refer to as the team. 
2) friendship: let's not take each other for granted. each one had to give up something in order to join yourself in penang, much as there is much to say, let's appreciate one another and offer a hand, a ear or a shoulder should the need arises.
3) thank you: most important, recognise help and say your thanks. as you represent the team and kaki bukit csc, let us be known for not just our paddling might, our discipline but our inter-personal skills.
it is going to be a new experience for us all.
live, laugh, love ~ boss ~
