Busy day today but one that I am looking forward to - there is a meeting with the new IB planning manager on site, and also a chance for Lai (facing camera) to meet Peng Hui. Good to be able to meet people face to face and have lunch to talk about common friends and shared experiences. Jimmy went to the University of Tasmania, as did PH and Leong, which gave them something to talk about; favourite lecturers, friends who are doing well in Singapore and others who are winning awards in Malaysia.
Earlier that morning, I taught Sean how to delegate work to the juniors so that he has time to develop his own design ideas and execute them. The delegated work will in turn teach the young assistants how to work in a team, and to share their work for critique. One problem we face with them is their idea that they have to finish their assigned work before showing to us - we wanted them to learn that they were not meant to know everything, or solve evry design or construction issue.
Sean was briefing them when I left for site, at the doorway I asked Huiphing whether she was stressed out by the deadlines. She replied - 'a little' to which Sean quickly replied - ' a little stress is good'. He has not fully grasped the the pace of which I wish to delegate and reuire a response from staff.
But he is learning, later in the evening - after I had returned home eating cashews with mom at the dining table Sean sent some updated renderings of the Sibu condominiums.
