When people praise me for something I knew I had never did well in my life, I feel kind of weird. Like when there was this someone who praised me (sincerely) to have great drawing skill, it felt totally like bullshit. Thank you for your compliment but I know where I stand. But you might want to look at this before praising me again.
This was drawn for today's presentation. By yours truly. My facilitator calls it a kindergarten work - the kindergarten bird, the kindergarten 4-looped cloud and the rest needs further elaboration before it was understood for what it is. Anyway, I used Windows7 Paint to get this work of art. I was amazed with all the different pen I can use! Siolz cool.

Strategic thinking; doesn't seems much. Kind of stupid to even have a module to teach us how to think. People laugh at us for taking this module. I think you have to go through it to truly appreciate it. This is probably my top favourite module in my whole 3 years in RP. The module, or maybe the facilitator, triggers me to think. To think about the things I had done, the things I want to do and what I want to achieve. Suddenly I just want to be clearer with all the things I do and plan it out. I gain something new every lessons yay I just hope UT would not be hard. I don't even know how they are going to grade our UTs.
For today, we were given examples about thinking of alternatives. Like the story about The billion-dollar pen that can be used in space without having the ink flow interrupted. It was a million-dollar product.
At the same time, the Russians were facing the same problem. They Just Use A Pencil Instead. Imagine the number of of pencils that can bought using the same million dollar? hehehehe
However, I just did some search online and found that the news may not be true after all. wtf? Nevertheless, it was fun.
We also learnt a interesting history about The Operation Chastise. Go read on it because it is really interesting. In summary, UK wants to bomb Germany dam but failed with the use of normal bomb or torpedo. So they came up with this 'bouncing bomb' concept where the bomb would skip on the water to cross the net and hit the damn with a impact huge enough to bring it down. Very cool.
Then we were shown the usual IQ questions and for the first time after seeing it for so many times, I managed to realise what was wrong with the shown paragraph woohoo I do have some general knowledge after all.
I finally believe I do use my brain. Maybe that is why I don't feel entirely well these days. Over exerting on my brain.
