LETTERS FROM THE LIVING

Thursday, October 30, 2008

I think I'm extremely blessed to be able to look forward to work each day, as not a lot of folks out there can do the same. Ok, I'm only 1.5 months into my training (at least 6-8 more months to go) but everyday is very fruitful as I'm learning new stuff and looking at things in new or different perspectives. Mind you, looking at the current economic outlook, it's a miracle I'm employed!!!

What I'm doing is completely different from whatever I've been studying (materials engr) or doing (journalism). The airline industry is somewhat glamourised but it still entails the very pressures and workload that plague many other professionals today. I'm required to attend a plethora courses each week, having to take assessment tests and qualify for certification for various licenses. To think that current managers and superiors are saying that the 9-month training is just the tip of the iceberg is both exciting yet scary. Ok, the perks are attractive and worth all the hard work I have to go thru. The opportunity to work somewhere else and meet people of diverse cultures and nationalities is really interesting.

As this is an overseas posting job (yes, I won't be calling Singapore my home after CNY 2009), there's endless speculation on where we might end up and also possible hassles we have to go thru. I just commit my overseas posting to God and continue to believe in faith that everything happens for a purpose. My heart's prayer now is to be able to comprehend everything and acquire as much knowledge as I can. Also, I wanna get my Class 3 driving license this Nov.

Rayzor's ROCK-amendation:
A great single armed with chugging riffs, melodic chords and a fist pumping rhythm from Sonic Syndicate, a death metalcore band that emerged winners from a band contest in Europe. The vid has little link to the song but proves not only hip hop vids can be sexy. It's either an aural or visual pleasure. Or both!

Just completed a 5-day training programme at Outward Bound Singapore at Pulau Ubin! It was a great time of bonding with fellow colleagues and a great personal retreat for myself. I learnt more about myself as I did about others. This course was really fruitful and fun-filled despite the physical nature and the simplicity of the amenities on the island. I did rock wall climbing, rafting, camping, kayaking, jetty jumping and even rope confidence! All these just reminded myself of how active I was during my JC days! Still recovering from sand fly bites tho'...

Rayzor's Rock-amendation:
Another stellar offering from American young metallers Trivium. Their new album is a great alchemy both their melodic and aggressive efforts, which transformed into yet another epic piece of work. Raise your fists to this!
