HI GUYS!
the following is an example of the darn Service Quality Management assignment!

in case you all don't know how to do, it's here!

2010-11-11T20:52:00.003+08:00

HI GUYS!

the following is the answers for questions 4, 6 and 7 for BCM tut 2!

i know most of you all got answers liao ah, but johnny never come today, and they are different from the books slightly, so i'll just post it.

Fitnes Star Program

2010-10-31T04:08:00.001+08:00

Gary says the lucky draw now includes an i-Pad

ok Boys. Hope you took my advice and started training early. and when i say train, i mean your legs as well.

Being fit isn't just about doing many pull-ups and have a strong upper body. You got to work on strengthening your legs and back too, otherwise you would damage your knees badly like what happened to me. Back then, I only concentrated on training my arms and upper body, and that led me to think that I was physically strong. Hoever, my legs were not able to support the load that i thought i could carry, and over time my knees got worn out till the point when i couldnt even bend my knees without feeling an acute pain, literally.

If you need help training, i can spend time with you guys after class, etc. Being physically fit is not engh in the army, u need to be COMBAT FIT.

Also, if you do not have at least a Bronze swimming cert (SSC), i encourage you to spend a couple of bucks to go take one at the public swimming pool. Reason being, there are swimming lessons in BMT. For those with at least a Bronze Swim Cert, you only need to attend the first few sessions and there after, you may skip the subsequent lessons. ie.at least 4 hrs free time every week.

Also, if you excel in sports, you should highlight it. Every year, there are combined arms sports events. one of the more prominent one would be the annual Swim Meet. I took part twice during my NSF period and i assure you, it was worth IT! You get to attach out to an external unit to train for swimming, and when i say train, i mean do absolutely nothing but just swim and tan from about 9 or 10am till 1 plus and you can go home. Thats the routine i had for about 2 months every year. and on top of that, you could ask for Off days as a reward after the event.

Those who excel in sports get to join SAFSA as well, SAF Sporting Association. Not sure how you can get in ,but i have seen my platoon mates book out twice a week for training in command school.

So, thats about it. and don't push yourself to barely pass the NAPFA and stop training thereafter. You are expected to keep fit because if you pass your NAPFA and enter the Enhanced Phase, ie excluding the early BTP training phase, the training starts immediately with little conditioning period, eg your 1st route march starts in the 1st week of your Enhanced BMT. So if you slacked off after taking your NAPFA, your body is not going to be able to take the training once Enhanced BMT starts

General Housekeeping Rules

1. Inform me/Cheryl know if you are leaving the country and period of absence
(In future when you are working, you are also expected to publish an Out-Of-Office-Notice)

2. In future, when responses, pertaining to anything, are asked for. Reply even if it is a 'No'. So
that the oraganiser/coordinator will not be left wondering if the recipient got the message and
can plan accordingly. Sometimes, there may also be follow-up instructions which you may
miss out on.

Nothing too serious here, but it will help facilitate things.

Work smart, Work-Ready

~Straits Times Classifieds 19/12/09

This is a very good article that i recommend everyone to read. Many of the tips in this article are what i have been practising myself for sometime to come. Although this article is addressed to Undergrads, it is completely relevant to Poly students.

Also, even though the article targets graduating students, I feel that it is always never to early to plan for your future. Moreover, many of the tips brought up require time for ground work to be lay down. Having said that, 1+ years is not a luxury, especially when it involves changing one's character and attitude.

All of us here are automatically awarded with a high grade plasticine upon entering AMS. How your plasticine will look like eventually will depend solely on your effort to mould it

Storytime
and if the above article doesn't interest you, perhaps I can bore you readers further with yet another story about a true incident which happened to my friend.

My friend, A is a poly grad and currently working full-time. He often complains about life and work. Recently, he told a common friend B, who is a Regular Naval Officer, that he wishes to sign-on in the Navy. B, being a pal, called up a contact in the Recruitment Center to help A pull some strings.

The contact pulled A's NSF records from the database to find out more about him. A few days later, the contact called up B and asked, "Sir, why did you recommend this type of person to me???"

Lesson learned today, is that your rep, good or bad, stays with you. Especially, in the connected world of today, you never know if the skeletons in your closet will stay there forever. The morale of this story is not restricted to employment in the SAF. Also, a reminder to future conscripts who think that they can get away with ill-conduct, inaction and insubordination during service...Don't.

as far as i can tell, most of you guys are still clueless about ace-ing a job interview.

PS: i also noticed that some of you guys give me the impression of half-heartedness. If that's the case, don't waste the your time or the interviewer's.

In any case, internships are just a semester away. It is not too early to prepare a 'mental blueprint' for your future job interviews.

Things to bring:
1. Resume (do include school testimonials and/or commendation letters from ex-employers)
2. Cover Letter
(Both neatly presented in a folder)

In the past, you guys may not have the habit of writing cover letters when applying for partime positions. I am not sure if you are required to write one for internship application.

However, i'm sure that a well-written cover letter will set you apart from the other applicants. I feel that a good cover letter may ever give you an edge over another applicant who has a slightly more impressive resume than u.

I see a cover letter as a personal executive summary of yourself, which tells the interview how you are suited for the job and why you deserve it. Your cover letter and you performance at the interview itself, will then be substantiated by your adequately prepared resume. I feel that a resume alone, is irrelevant to the job because it is just your personal spec-sheet of your past achievements(if any) and the interviewer has to take the trouble to attempt linking your traits and capabilities to the JD.

The cover letter is that link between your resume and the job you seek.

You can easily search for tips on writing a cover letter by searching online in Yahoo or Google. just type "how to write a good cover letter". Same goes for preparing a resume.

Here are some other tips,

The tips may be from a man's website, but the girls can just read and apply what's relevant.

Airline Pilot Speaks Out On Flight Delays

Pilot Patrick Smith explains why the airline industry is on overload.

By Patrick Smith

Welcome aboard. Our flying time this afternoon, not counting ground delays and holding patterns, will be two hours and thirty minutes.

Before we take off, I would like to apologize on behalf of this and every airline for the hassle you just endured at the security checkpoint. As is patently obvious to any reasonable person, the humiliating shoe removals, liquids ban, and pointy-object confiscations do little to make us safer.

Unfortunately, the government insists that security theater, and not actual security, is in the nation's best interest. If it makes you feel any better, our crew had to endure the same screening as the passengers. Never mind that the baggage loaders, cleaners, caterers, and refuelers receive only occasional random screening. You can rest easy knowing that I do not have a pair of scissors or an oversize shampoo bottle anywhere in my carry-on luggage.

Just a moment.

Okay, well, as expected, we've received word of a ground stop. Our new estimated departure time is 90 minutes from now, subject to change arbitrarily, without warning.

And while we're waiting, let me explain that these sorts of delays (and it's not your imagination -- late arrivals and departures have doubled since 1995) result not only from our antiquated air traffic control system but also from too many planes flying into and out of overcrowded airports. Passengers demand frequency-you want lots of flights flying to lots of cities. But this can be self-defeating, because many of these flights will be late -- in some cases, very late. At airports near major cities like New York and Washington, D.C., the proliferation of small jets has added to the congestion. They make up nearly 50 percent of planes at some of our busiest airports yet carry only a fraction of overall passengers. This inefficient use of air and ground space is one reason we will be sitting here for the next hour and a half.

Once we're airborne, flight attendants will be coming around with food and beverages for sale. I know many of you are irritated that an in-flight meal now costs $7 -- on top of the $25 you just paid for an extra checked bag. Unfortunately, with oil prices skyrocketing and jets requiring as much fuel as ever (a coast-to-coast flight takes 8,000 gallons), it's impossible for us to provide luxurious service and rock-bottom fares at the same time. We know that most of you are miserable and that you long ago learned to despise every aspect of air travel. But try, if you can, not to take your frustrations out on other passengers or the crew. The overall surly vibe is unpleasant for us too. And ridiculous as this might sound, look on the bright side.

Yes, there is a bright side: more choices and surprisingly reasonable fares. Domestically, you can now fly between almost any two airports in the country with, at worst, a single stopover. Internationally, transoceanic routes have fragmented, allowing people to fly direct from smaller hubs in the United States to points in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere. Nobody enjoys holding patterns or sitting on a tarmac, but in earlier days, the overall journey would have taken longer-and cost more.

It's true that fares have risen sharply of late, but if they seem especially pricey, that's partly because they remained so cheap for so long, with many carriers selling tickets below cost. Fares in 2006 were averaging 12 percent lower than in 2000, despite a 150 percent rise in jet-fuel costs.

Current fares cost about what they did in the 1980s. And let's not forget that flying is much safer than it was in the past. Globally, there are twice as many planes carrying twice as many people as there were a quarter century ago. Although the raw total of crashes has risen, accidents are way down as a percentage of total flights.

I am well aware that airlines have become pariahs of the postindustrial economy. But it's rarely acknowledged that despite recurrent fiscal crises, major staffing and technology problems, and constant criticism from the public, our carriers have managed to maintain a mostly reliable, affordable, and safe transportation system.

Hang in there, and our crew will let you know if and when our plane might actually take off. In the meantime, those $7 sandwiches are actually pretty good.

Attitude

By: Rev. Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, then circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes
--------------------

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

The last paragraph is especially befitting of me. Often, I hear people tell me to accept things the way they are, to let things be because people's character are hard to change. More often than not, I turn a deaf ear to these people because most of the time, these are the same people who do nothing about the things in their own lives nor about the things happening in other people's lives around them. I always say this , even to my parents, sometimes we may not hold the key to our own problems, but unknowingly, we may have the solution to other people's problems. In the events that follow, the old saying goes, 'what goes around, comes around.' Sadly, people these days are too shackled up in their own lives to even spare a thought for others, let alone lend a helping hand.

It doesn't matter what others do, even if the rest of the world couldn't care less, surely You, as an individual, have at least some decent form of maturity and sense not to follow suit. Even if you have been unfeeling for as long as you have lived, I believe that it is in your best interest not to continue being unfeeling for the rest of the years that your are going to live.

I don't believe in the bullshit that people's characters are hard to change. I often preach, "You are your own man". You are in full control of yourself. And it's all in your mind. If i can rid myself of clinical depression without the aid of professional help, i don't see any reason why anything, with a strong willed heart, can be impossible. One may argue that everyone is different and that we may not be capable of other's achievements. While that may be true to an extent, at the very least, i have proven that I have done it.

Attitude... As i always say, "Take a positive attitude."

if you can understand what i am trying to impress upon you, read on and take time to reflect upon these stories and share them with others......

The Carpenter's House

unknown Author

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.

He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house, " he said, "my gift to you."

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

Stone Soup

Author Unknown

A story about Sharing

Many years ago three soldiers, hungry and weary of battle, came upon a small village. The villagers, suffering a meager harvest and the many years of war, quickly hid what little they had to eat and met the three at the village square, wringing their hands and bemoaning the lack of anything to eat.

The soldiers spoke quietly among themselves and the first soldier then turned to the village elders. "Your tired fields have left you nothing to share, so we will share what little we have: the secret of how to make soup from stones."

Naturally the villagers were intrigued and soon a fire was put to the town's greatest kettle as the soldiers dropped in three smooth stones. "Now this will be a fine soup", said the second soldier; "but a pinch of salt and some parsley would make it wonderful!" Up jumped a villager, crying "What luck! I've just remembered where some's been left!" And off she ran, returning with an apronful of parsley and a turnip. As the kettle boiled on, the memory of the village improved: soon barley, carrots, beef and cream had found their way into the great pot.

They ate and danced and sang well into the night, refreshed by the feast and their new-found friends. In the morning the three soldiers awoke to find the entire village standing before them. At their feet lay a satchel of the village's best breads and cheese. "You have given us the greatest of gifts: the secret of how to make soup from stones", said an elder, "and we shall never forget." The third soldier turned to the crowd, and said: "There is no secret, but this is certain: it is only by sharing that we may make a feast". And off the soldiers wandered, down the road.

The Big Rocks

unknown Author

One day, an expert was speaking to a group of business students. To drive home a point, he used an illustration those students will never forget. As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered over-achievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz." Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed mason jar and set it on a table in front of him. Next he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top, and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone in the class said, "Yes."

He replied, "Really?" and reached under the table to pull out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. Then he asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good," he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in, and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" "No," the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim.

He looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it."

"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is, if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."

What are the "big rocks" in your life? A project that YOU want to accomplish? Time with your loved ones? Your faith, your education, your finances? A cause? Teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all. Tonight or in the morning when you are reflecting on this story, ask yourself this question: what are the "big rocks" in my life or business? Then put those in your jar first.

RADAR Report

2009-06-16T19:46:00.000+08:00

i think alot of you guys are writing up on ADS/CPDLC.

somehow i don't feel that those 2 systems are technically a RADAR.

look at TOmmy's notes Pg 5

'.... radar range ...up to 200nm.... radar range limited by earth curvature.... no system for oceanic control.... using procedural control........ satellite-based technology like ADS/CPDLC.....'

i sent Ralph a string of text that further emphasizes this, check with him, i lost the msg convo.

to give a better idea, i saw the below somewhere:

The following Air Traffic Control (ATC) surveillance, approach and landing radars are commonly used in Air Traffic Management (ATM):

en-route RADAR systems,
Air Surveillance (ASR) systems,
Precision App RADAR (PAR) systems,
Surface Movement RADARs
special weather RADARs

I may not be entirely correct.

Do your own research and verify my info for yourself

well guys(boys),
There will come a time in your lives when you will be called to serve.
There will come a time in your lives when you transform from boys into Men.
That time will come in about 2 years.
2 years isn't really a long time and before you know it, you are donning the greens.

The Army isn't what it used to be in the good old days. Unfortunately, it is slacker in a lot ways. However, while it remains just as physically demanding, the younger generation of males are actually getting softer and more sheltered, aka undergoing pussification.

What I'm trying to do here, is to help you guys prepare your bodies for the most dynamic, most demanding 2 years of your lives. A healthy body equates to a healthy mind, take my word for it.
I wanna help you guys develop muscular strength. I know some of you guys are training on your own, but if you can't do at least 10 pull-ups and 10 Dips unassisted and in Proper Form, then you are not doing it correctly. If you can't even lift your own weight, you will not be able to carry yourself and your equipment.

Let's go gym together, Jono is proposing every Tues morning before classes. He and Wang comes my house's gym a few times a week too. We normally hit the steambath after the gym. We could start a pull-up daily regime too. My JC friends had a religious pull-up regime and they could pull an average of 15 just after 6 months, and they are about your built. Ah Wang has already began this regime.

You would also notice a Fitness Ranking on the right hand side of blog. That is your target and motivation to spur you on! Feel free to earn a place for your name above mine.

Also, I strongly encourage you guys to participate in the 'AMS weekly runs' if and when they do begin.

Just for your info,

NAPFA Gold or Silver award at least 2 weeks prior to enlistment date
- 9week Basic Military Training (BMT)
- 2 month reduction in your full-time National Service

Fail to attain the required fitness level
- Additional 4-week Physical Training Phase (PTP) before attending the 9-week BMT

AIRPORT UTILIZES INTERNET SOCIAL NETWORKING TOOL TO BROADCAST FLIGHT INFO

The once-obscure micro-blogging, social networking, me-centric
service known as Twitter is really catching on in the mainstream. While many modern airports are working to bring cellphone-based electronic boarding passes into mainstream use, the next big thing in air travel might just be getting airports on Twitter. Case in point, Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport is using Twitter to keep rushed travelers up to date with any potential travel-delays or parking nightmares.

In a world where just about everyone is connected to the mobile web through their cellphones, it makes sense for a busy international airport to leverage Twitter’s efficient alert-style service to send out updates in almost real-time. With 5 million users, and growing, Twitter’s user-base is nothing to scoff at - and definitely a force worth embracing. Twitter users need only “Follow” @BWI to get updates on airport and flight status.

“Modern travelers are sophisticated and tech savvy,” said Timothy L. Campbell, Maryland Aviation Administration Executive Director. “Twitter is another tool that will allow BWI Marshall Airport to provide timely information to travelers.”

It seems that the perfect modern airport these days will host international flights, allow mobile phones-as-boarding-passes, have ample power outlets and will post travel information updates via Twitter. What else would your perfect airport have?

Ben:
Personally, I think this is a very good opportunity for our class to do something crazy, stupid and exciting together again. After conquering the treacherous mud-logged terrain of Ubin, urbanized warfare in TP shouldn't be an issue. Besides, L4D and CS skills are applicable in this context to some extent. I could give a crash course on FIBUA (Fighting In Built-Up Areas) and CQB.

It would be great if we could win this and secure some bragging rights, but victory alone is not the most important thing. More importantly, this is a good opportunity for class bonding. Let's do this, and hopefully Supreme Commander Ho can participate in this operation.

PS: are Home-made pepper bombs allowed on CPs?

To give you some idea what's it like to play Laser-based CS in real life, here's a video of a game I played with my friends and some exchange students in NTU hall 3. Hopefully, this time, it's not the same Company employed, because they have the most F*up CS I have ever encountered.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.

It's barely 2 weeks since Uncle Yap mentioned that it means we are in deep shit when SIA starts cutting flights, and now it is a reality.

SINGAPORE - Singapore Airlines Ltd. said it plans to reduce flights and ground more than a dozen planes as people travel less amid the global economic slowdown.

The carrier said it will reduce capacity by 11 percent between April and March 2010 from the previous twelve months and decommission 17 aircraft after air cargo shipments fell 20 percent recently.

"The drop in air transportation has been sharp and swift," the company said in a statement Monday. "We have to face the reality that 2009 is going to be a very difficult year."

Singapore Airlines said last month that it planned to cut flights to the U.S., Europe and Asia as demand dried up. The airline said last week its October-December profit fell 43 percent as it flew 4.2 percent fewer passengers.

The airline said it met with worker unions Monday to discuss voluntary leave without pay, voluntary early retirement and shorter work months. Managers will cut their salaries first if necessary, the carrier said.

"We will contemplate retrenchment only as a last resort, but we do not have the luxury of time," the company said. "We need to agree and act on some measures quickly so that we can push back the point of retrenchment as far as possible."

Singapore is facing its worst recession since splitting from Malaysia in 1965 as exports plummet. Gross domestic product shrank a seasonally adjusted, annualized 16.9 percent in the fourth quarter, and the government expects GDP in 2009 to contract as much as 5 percent.

SIA stops Vancouver route
~the Straitstimes Feb 14, 2009

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) said on Saturday it will indefinitely suspend its thrice weekly service to Vancouver which has been 'badly affected' by the global economic crisis.

The last flight will be on April 25, the airline said in a statement. The Singapore-Vancouver service passes through Seoul.

SIA said it would continue to serve Canada through its existing schedule of 42 weekly flights between Singapore and its gateways in the United States.

The airline also offers codeshare services on Air Canada to Toronto and Montreal from its European gateways.

'The decision to suspend service is most regrettable, as Singapore Airlines has served Canada for over 20 years,' the carrier said. 'However, the economic conditions and performance on the route has been badly affected by the global economic downturn.' -- AFP
