I guess this is the first time I've ever blog about my hockey games. The reason for this first posting is perhaps due to the fact that my team didn't learn from our mistakes and not willing to take 'Learning' seriously. In other words, my team didn't 'sharpen the saw' (Covey, 2008). Maybe this would be my next agenda. Or this maybe a good reason for me to stop managing the team.

I'm not Terry Walsh, Volker Knapp or Paul Lissek. They are gurus, master coaches while I'm just nobody compared to them. But we have something in common, perhaps. All of us faced with the challenge of getting the players to learn and make good use of their learning in any hockey match.

I remember when I proposed to that my team commit to attend training once a week, however many protested. Saying that they can't get approval from their bosses to leave the office early. As a result we were not prepared, n lacking in many areas when the league started.

Seems like Deja Vu to me now, just different time n character. I don't know what would it takes for them to realise it. If one refuse to sharpen the saw, then it will take longer to finish sawing the tree down.

Oh ya, my ride now is a 2nd hand 2003 Honda CRV which I bought from my sister early this year. She got herself a BMW 325i sports ;) the CRV has been with the family since 2003, a hard working machine, with a mileage of about 240,000km already! Last year the aircond system had a huge problem, the compressor busted due to a mistake by my sister's aircond servicemen.

the problem was the resistor but they didn't depressurize and reset the whole system back, the pressure build up in the whole system jammed the compressor and it just blew up.

after the replacement job, the cooling wasn't really there and my back passenger especially my son has been complaining ever since. After talking to some of y ex-sdarians, one of them proposed me to go to Ampang's Wah Tak Aircond service.

the place in ampang is a sold out. Cars queued to take turn and i had to go to another branch at taman putra ampang.

I'm now at the back seat watching them doing the job. I can tell u this, if u've own ur car for more than 2 years and never had the aircond system cleaned up n serviced, u may get sinus and other allergies due to the dust build up in the hoses n the pipes or u'll get a big hole in the pocket what the whole systems fails all together.
oh ya, it took me half a day just to get it done... :(

Whoa, after a long hiatus, I finally got the urge towrite some of my thought again. Using my Nokia E61 and via the maxis mms to email, this post should be going straight on to the blog :)

many stories I'll be sharing of which will cover my career post Melbourne, new leadership in my dept, my current work on LEARNING SYSTEMS, e-learning, KM & KM systems, my mom's business and my family.

the bit on KM n Learning should go to my KM blog...hmmm can't recall the url. Will put it in here.

the family business blog is www.zinnikl.blogspot.com

hope I can keep the flame burning.
