Day 27


Qualities of a leader


Project Manager's Salary

Today i was woken up by Cynthia & Ling Li who woke up at 7.30 to go get breakfast at Macdonald for Miss Neo as apology gift for their lateness. I woke up early to bathe and get myself refreshed for the day. Janice bought breakfast for me at Macdonald and i ordered a pork burger again. We went for lessons as usual at 9am and we went through our test paper. I am satisfied with my results and after that, we did a practical revision to prepare ourselves for the upcoming practical test on thursday. I had a hard time doing the revision paper and i made mistakes so i redo the whole practical when the others went out for lunch. I skipped lunch and was very hungry during the afternoon lessons. We continued our lessons at 2pm and we went through Chapter 7's lecture today. It is about Project Manager, Leadership and motivation. We have lessons till 4plus and were released for the day. We completed chapter 7. After lessons, it was raining so it is super cold outside. We decide to go to 建设二路 for our dinner. I bought a tee shirt which cost RMB$169 for my brother at jack & jones. After that we went to buy buns for supper. I bought a scallop burger while the others ate 炸酱面 for dinner. We walked back to our hostel and bought some daily necessities and snacks at 堕落街 on the way back.
Personal Reflection:

Today I learn about what kind of skills a project management should possess. We did a questionaire on ourselves to see whether we are fit to be a project manager. We also learn the problems a project manager face. Miss Neo also told us about how much a project manager can earn a month which is like $6500 a month. A project manager also requires good leadership and a the ability to lead is not inborn but can be trained and cultivated.

Today have no lessons as Miss Neo gave us a free day to rest after a long and tiring day yesterday at 武当山 so we had an off day today. We ordered Macdonald for breakfast and i ordered a pork burger set which consists of the burger, a hashbrown and a drink which is chose to change to 雪梨冰爽茶 which is a pear drink. It is only sold in china and i have not seen it in singapore. It tastes very refreshing and is not very sweet so most of us like it. The others went to meet Miss Neo at 10am for a meeting which i'm not suppose to attend to as it does not concern me. I woke up at 9.30am when Ling Li & Cynthia is too loud when they are preparing to go look for Miss Neo. I ate my breakfast and touch up on my blog entries while waiting for them alone in the room. They returned at around 11plus to 12 and i was informed that the meeting was regarding their lateness yesterday. Our plans to head out today is put on hold as they have a reflection to be done by 5pm today. I continued to surf while they did their reflections. After they finished, it was around 2 and we decide to head to 江汉路, 步行街 to shop. Sihao & Fad joined us and we took a bus 588 to our destination. We filled our stomach up before we shopped around. We had dinner at ajisen ramen restaurant at around 6plus and i brought the guys to shop the streets while the others went to walmart to get pocky & peejoy biscuits as it was on offer to bring back to singapore. We did not meet up as my group took a cab back to our dorms while the others took a public bus.

Personal Reflection:
Looking at the others who are late yesterday and has to submit a report on their reflections about the incident yesterday, I learnt about the importance of being punctual and not be late. I learnt the importance of time management and the consequences of being late such as giving people a bad impression and affecting the rest of the team. I have learnt to learn from the mistakes from the others and not follow their footsteps.
