Adv Pioneering Test

To: All Advanced pioneering participants,

I have sacrificed 3 days leave just to conduct the Adv-Pioneering course and the result are very disappointing. None of you make it through! 3 DAYS!! You know how difficult to apply leave!

Is not that I want to make it sounds like I am very noble. Is that you guy don’t know how to appreciate it. There are guys out there craving for test but no one to approach. You are given a chance and yet………. Seriously you can do it. Either you are not well-organise or just simply CMI (can’t make it)… Come on guys, this is the final test and you can’t even be serious with it.. Especially with these jokers ( Woodpecker, Frog and Lizard) around, you know who I am referring to… Please get it straight to the objective and do it once and do it well!!
By the standard, you should have failed and now I am prepare to give you another chance for a re-test. Tentatively it will be on 27 Nov, 1pm to 6pm. This time round I going to change the system, you will be divided into 2 groups and to complete the project within the stipulated time. NO MORE CHANCE! Be focus! If you passed, you will get the certificate and badge on that day! The badge comes with 50 points. And In the event if you failed again(Touch Wood), you will have to recourse. Simple!

The grouping:


Group A
1. Daryl Lim
2. Sacchi (Lion)
3. Ng Jia Hao (Elephant)
4. Adeline Teo (Tiger)
5. Nur Hanis (Elephant)
6. Tan Mei Ting (Jackal)
7. Gabriel Quek (Jackal)


Group B
1. Cheong Yu Ting (Jackal)
2. Jazreel (Lion)
3. Felicia Tan (Elephant)
4. Iftikhaar (Panther)
5. How Quan Yi (Tiger)
6. Peh Tik Lam (Tiger)
