Collection of BEC certificate

Finally, after a surprising 3 months, the Singapore Sports Council announced that all candidates who have passed the Basic Exercise Course (BEC) can collect their certificate from today onwards. So I made my way to Changi Business Park near Singapore Expo to collect my certificate.

It was a very hot & sunny afternoon & by the time I reached home, I was shocked to realize that my underwear was entirely drenched with sweat! This sight really stunned me coz I don’t even soak through my underwear, even after a 6 km run at East Coast beach. It sure was a hot weather!

Although the certificate looked rather plain, I’m both happy & thankful to have successfully passed this course at the first try. Seriously, it does benefit us to take up occasional short courses based on our interests. It does enrich your life, be it a sport, dance, hobby, etc.

In fact, I was surprised that some interviewers do seem impressed that I took up a course of my interest, while I was in the midst of finding a job. I think it speaks of a person’s keenness to improve himself in other aspects, besides just about things related to work. It tells of the person’s personality too, which should not be overlooked when they consider hiring someone into their company.
