I was made when another piece of metal melted. You can say that I got to live because someone else died. Made in around 1998, I was placed in a nice box and was shipped to a shopping centre in sunny Singapore and it marked the beginning of an exciting journey.
I was placed in a departmental store like many of my friends but I was lucky anough to come out of the storeroom and be placed in a glass display. Everyday, I would see many of my friends getting bought by new owners and getting to leave the departmental store and most importantly, getting to come out of the box that we were all placed in from day 1. I too wished that my owner would come and pcik me up real soon.
One afternoon when I was fast asleep, I suddenly felt some movement as the sales girl picked me up. I thought I was dreaming but then I saw that it was real. Someone was considering buying me. I opened my eyes and I saw, to my surprise, not a businessman, but a young gentleman. He looked like a teenager and I thought he must be buying this for his father as a present. After much, deliberation, he finally paid $60 for me and brought me home.
After some days, my owner took me out from the box and marked the beginning of a very exciting journey for me. To my surprise, he didn't give me to his dad but rather, used me as his own. He was a teenager in a shirt and tie and needed me to pin the tie down. I felt a little strange but didn't bother too much. It was a sunday and he was rushing to church.
As I followed him, he made his way to Paya Lebar MRT station and soon, I find myself going to a church. I realised that the place was called City Harvest Church and the building was what people called Hollywood. I was so excited as I wondered how would it look like to be in Hollywood. The gitz and glamour... ah... It's good to be like a celebrity.
Then after the corner round KFC, I was shocked to see the building a run-down, almost collapsing building... There were so many people, easily a few hundred and they too were all clad in shirt and tie. It was like the norm there. I had always expected myself to appear in formal dinners, or boardrooms, fancy D&Ds, but not a church!
Well, I do not have a choice but I thought I'll just make the best of the situation and notice the people there. One thing I must say, they were all rushing. Even when my owner was walking from the MRT, he was walking real fast. Even as he was walking, his pager was beeping. the people around him were all walking very quickly as if they were late. I now it was only 8am and I cannot understand why. Soon, I realised that people were there in church 45 mins before service starts to pray. It was called the pre-service prayer meeting. I mean almost everyone was there. It was like the service before the service. The pre-service meeting was like the seperation between the new friends and the members. After the prayer meeting, or even during the prayer meeting, there were some people who left and they rushed to the MRT station again to pick up new friends that they have invited for the weekend's service. I felt that it was really funny why one can be so serious about religion. However, one thing I noticed, each and everyone of them were very happy. They wore this bright smile on their faces and they were so genuine and warm. They were so passionate and were all so willing. Young they may be, they certainly do not look young, especially with fellow tie-pins like myself to help bring out the mature looking side of them. Were they trying to act old or act rich? I don't know for now, but one thing I know, they were all very passionate.
There are the leaders who wore suit and they looked even more formal and much older. There were also people who carried big bags with lots of files in those bags. I soon realised they are the 2nd in charge in the cell group. They are like the up and coming leaders. Those files contained the admin for the cell group. The larger the cell group, the more papers there are in a file and there are many names inside, probably an attendace sheet or something. However, almost in every church goers; bag, there is a letter or a card of somesort. Yes, everyone has one. Either you are giving one this week or you are receiving one this week. Everyone was hot and sweaty but no one complained and just waited patiently for the service to start.
Ok, service started. Man, the place was jammed packed and the chior started singing. There were so many flags on the stage. I wonder why... Then the band started playing, oh man, it was so so so lound, however, as I looked at the faces of the people around me, I can see real joy during the faster songs and tears were flowing when they were singing the slower songs. People were so genuine.
People here are definately excited as they jumped and jumped during the songs and dance time and I nearly fell off my owner's shirt a few times if not for the chain that chained me to his button.
So that marked the end of the day when he said good bye after lunch with his cell group mates at the coffeeshop nearby. I noticed, having lunch together was only done by the committed members, the not committed members usually leave straight after service. The real committed members will also wait for the cell group leader to come out after a meeting. I mean these people really follow closely to their cell group leaders. I wonder where on earth would the cell group leader have so much time to entertain all of them? It's like every cell group had at least 5 to 8 people wanted to hang around the leader. and the leader only chooses about 3 to be his super close. In some cells, only 1 is selected to be in the innermost circle.
So I was placed back into the "Sunday bag", which was the church service bag and I stayed in the bag for a week. Meanwhile just thinking what the pastor has preached about on stage. He is quite an interesting speaker and the things he spoke about surely made me look forward to the next meeting.
Then the next sunday. Same thing, running from Paya Lebar MRT to the church and this time round, we had breakfast. A drop of chilli nearly landed on my owner's shirt of not for me. I saved it but got myself dirty in the end. My owner wiped it off and then very quickly, we went in for the prayer meeting.
Service was fun today as there was a pastor from Africa and he thought us some dance moves. We were moving to our left and then to our right. Haha, everyone ended up laughing and laughing.
And so this continued for weeks and months and years. Over time, I noticed the church had changed. Slowly, they shifted to Jurong West. The people changed too, slowly, more and more people were coming in T-shirt and jeans, nomore the formal wear. It is out of fashion? As for my owner, he changed too. He has already completed his A levels and will be going to the Army soon.
For a period of time I didn't go to church as my owner was in Pulau Tekong and boy, I do miss going to church. I missed seeing the happy faces of the people there. I also noticed that my owner uses less and less of me as he changed his dressing. I was spending more time in the bag.
Months became years and soon, I was under a stack of bags. Perhaps I've been forgotten.
It was on 24th of November 2010 that I got to see my owner again. As he took me out of the bag, I knew it was him, he has aged. I was greeted by his unshaven face. I noticed he wore a ring on this left hand now. He is married. He has completed his studies and his graduation gown was just beside me. I'm glad that my owner has matured and has started working. I looked at myself under the light and I noticed that I have rusted on my sides. I do not look as nice as before. Seems like everythign has changed. even the room colour. They have painted it. The furniture all changed. I know my time has come. I must die and be melted, so that someone else will be formed. I am glad that I was able to attend City Harvest Church for that period of time. The time where everyone wore a shirt and tie.

2nd best
In life, we will all encounter failure(s) at a certain point in time. An individual who has always been winning or has been successfully may not know how to accept defeat or how to handle it.
I recently read on the papers 2 differect individuals who faced defeat in that sense. How did they react to it and can we draw some logical conclusion / lessons from their reaction?
I shall not name names here but one wept bitterly after losing. There was nothing much the person can do but cry... It's a release of emotions, not necessarily a bad thing. However, after that, what should the person do? Keep on fighting? Or retreat and re-evaluate?
There is a school of though that promotes the "never-say-die" attitude. Keep fighting and keep pressing on until you see the results. Well, I personally think that this type of mentality depends on situation. Fight on if you know that it is your strength or rather, you are battling in your field of expertise. If it is a foreign ground, then move on. It may not be your playground afterall.
Then I noticed another individual. He was not promoted to be the big boss of a huge company and he chose to leave the company altogether. Was he foolish? Is he a person who possess no tenacity? Gives up easily? I do not think so. I think it is wise to know which are the battles that are for you and which are the ones that you must engage in and fight to the end.
There are certain things that one do not have a choice. Must fight on. Basically, there are no other options. However, there are also back-up plans that one can fall on. In such situations, think, plan, seek counsel and see if the battle is worth the effort. Else, move on and go conqueur land that is more suited for you. Do not fight a losing battle. You may succeed in the end, but at what cost? Why operate the concord when it is not cost-effective. There are certain things, we just need to achieve it once and that's it. Move on.
As I begin to reflect on this, I am reminded of my IPPT silver that I got when I was serving my NS. I'm not a physical hunk and will not consider physical fitness to be my strength. While all things are possible to those who believe, it will be an uphill task for me to achieve something in that area as conpared to other individuals who have a natural flare for it. I'm glad I didn't sign-on or else I will be struggling. That is not my strength.
So in everything we do, focus on what we are good at. However, we need to know what we are bad at too so that we can avoid the situation that we need to utilise that skill set. Move in the direction of your strength and you will be much appreciated. Moving upwards will also be easier....

Let the weak say I am strong
There is a verse in the Bible that says "Let the weak say I am Strong" It is actually found in Joel 3.
Well, the weekend's service by PK was great and it set me thinking. There are 4 season of our faith. Therefore, our faith actually moves in a cycle. There will be different seasons for us. While we all love the fun times, we must know that the tough times are for us to grow. Pst said that he is glad the winter is cold and tough as if it is not cold enough, the bud will grow out prematurely. How true...
I begin to wonder and started looking around at the Christians near me. Are they weak or strong? Regardless of the seasons they are in, what is the attitude and outlook? Sad to say, there are certain individuals that give me an impression that they are pretty much weaker than they are stronger.
Let me give you a scenerio. There was once, I was reaching out to this girl and she came to church for a while and after a few weeks, she stopped attending as her boyfriend didn't allow her to. I asked her to invite her boyfriend as well so that he too, can enjoy the love and blessings of God. Well, she said that according the her boyfriend, Christianity is for those who are weak. People who are too weak to do anything in life and thus, need to rely on God's power and strength. It may sound like a sure issue about pride at first but if you think closer, it may not be too hard to understand why he has that perspective.
When I meet up with new friends who join us for service or cell group meetings, I would like to hear from them what do they have to say about the people in church. The recent comment I got was "Wow, the people here are all so young". It can mean two things: 1) high energy, enthusiastic, youthful kind of young or 2)immature, childish, naive kind of young....
I got a nasty feeling it's the 2nd one...
In church, we believe in love, in care and concern for others and it seems like it's always spring time. The time for new born. New Christians who have joined us can have this new life of love, joy, peace and hope. Yup, don't get me wrong, it is true. However, there will come a time whereby some pruning will have to take place. That is in preparation for the next level. It is necessary. I do not want to sound like a hard man or some militant general who wants to "tekan" the people for growth, but it is needed. Else, how would you grow? I have seen Christians who are forever in their spring time. It's been 3-5 years in chruch and to date, they still cannot take hard knocks. Totally dependant on aid. External aid. Cannot stand on his/her own. So WEAK. At the slightest defeat, they need all the attention from the CG and the rest of the world. At the slightest sneeze, they reported sick. At the slightest persecution, they give up and say that they cannot take it anymore.
Probably the most frustrating thing is that the people around them actually condole such behaviour and thus, they will never grow out of it. Instead of saying "Come on, you can walk out of it! you can do it!" they agree and together, they take pity with each other. It becomes a circle of boo-hoo. Job's friends? Haiz. Instead of helping them grow stronger, they are promoting weakness unconsiously.
When people try to intercept and push them a little, they are blamed for being to harsh and unloving.... ok, in love I'll leave you to die. Come on! the Bible says be strong.! pick youself up!!!! keep running, keep going!. It's like trying to train a BMT recruit and when he feels tired, let him rest. Come on! His 2.4km run will never be less than 12mins. His pull ups will forever be zero if he doesn't push himself more....

In companies, there are certain positions that state only Degreee holders need apply. The average salary for a fresh grad is about 2.5k to 3k a month. That of a Diploma holder is around 1.8k maybe? Both of them are clueless as they are both fresh. WHy is it that organizations are willing to pay that few hundreds more to hire a degree holder? well, I believe it is because of what a degree holder had gone through vis-a-vis a dip holder. Traditionally, it is more stressful in the uni than say, a local poly. This was told to me by poly graduates who took on undergrad programmes in NUS. People pay more to hire people who are able to take more pressure. Who are willing to inconvenient themselves more. Are they necessarily smarter or can perform the job better? Not necessarily. But, they are suppose to have better attitude. Those are the kind of people who can stand strong. They make things happen, they find various solution to solve a problem. Not the weak ones who just wait for people to take pity on them.
I want my CG to full of people who are strong, not weak. I pray they can see this and the benefits of being strong. What a blessing they will be to society. What great value they will be. Leaders are to be strong. They make things happen. They provide solution. They are problem solvers. They influence the situation. They take ownership. These are stuff which we have learnt in church. How many actually put it in action?
When we face tough situations, we be an overcomer. Yes, it is hard at times but our attitude stands firm. Our values are put to a test. PK's under fire at this point but look at his attitude! Trusting in God! Knowing what Jesus can do and will do. Awaiting deliverance but at the same time, there is so much to learn from this experience. I know that after this episode, Pst's sermons will be better as he has been through stuff. There will be more examples he can share.
I know of individuals who want to be CGLs. Great vision and goal but with the current lifestyle, what kind of examples can you put in the message of your sermon? Can you pack the punch? "Oh, I was unable to attend church for 3 weeks as I had a mosquito bite. Praise God I recovered." or "I learned that MRT will not arrive on time as I have been late 8 out of 10 services" or "I'm sorry guys, I do not know how to start a prayer meeting as I am always late for prayer meetings"... How on earth are you ever going to lead a crowd?
OK, enough said. Let's get stronger.. Together Stronger!

Races
Someone once said that there are no different races. There is only 1 race that is the human race...
well, I think that is Brother John Avazini if I'm not wrong.
After leaving the previous company, I start thinking it through and wonder what actually went wrong. Perhaps I am a thinker. I believe it is good to think it thru so as to prevent such incidences from happening again.
So after much reflection, I think one reason that I decided to leave the company was that it is a pretty racist company. Yup, one of the reason why I'm leaving is that it is too racist for me. Well, it may sound shocking but it speaks volumes of their moral character and it is something I do not feel comfortable with. Well, let me be more specific.
According to anthropology, there is a difference between prejudice and discrimination.
Basically, prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. That is from dictionary.com. whereas, discrimination is an act or instance of discriminating. OK, that may not be too helpful but the main difference is that one is a thought while one is an action. It is one thing to joke about stuff and one thing to actually commit it or simply put it, making it into an action. It is like mother-in-law jokes... well, we love our MILs of course but we do share MIL jokes, same for dumb blonde jokes. However, for a company to have a policy that recruits based on race preference, that is really racism to the max. There is not a single Malay or Indian in my previous company. and they are open about it... Well, it's time to move on.
So I'll start work in Dec. Shall not reveal the company's name here but it's aviation related alright. I'm excited to go back to the airport and Huiqin's god a great word from the Lord about this. hope all will turn out fine and will end the year well...
It's Christmas very very soon. My first Christmas in the new house. Should I decorate it? That means spending $$$...

Posts
Just realised I've been blogging on this blog for a couple of years now. Eversince I started work I guess. The first few posts were about the proposal and then the marriage and the honeymoon and there was the house and then there was me quiting my previous company to join my current company.
Well, as of Monday, I fired my boss. Well, I tendered basically. It's no secret now. I tendered without having another job. It is simply too boring and I think I should never fake my way in. Basically, be truthful during the interview and that will ensure that you get the job that best fits you. Well, I must say that we all behave not quite ourselves during interviews. Maybe I was just better at acting. But I cannot simply put on the mask everyday from 8.30 to 6.30 right? So I've called it quits. I have something in the pipeline, something exciting....
Shall not reveal it for now, well, it's aviation related I must say. and that is why it made it to "Aviation Passion" blog... haha
OK, 2010 is a year that I've been very busy, and hence blogged very little. It's a year of switches, career switches in fact. Ok, I'm going down to help carry the groceries now. Qin bought them from Carrefour and is back in a cab...

Attitude
I spoke with a gentleman some time back. Basically called him to ask if he wants to leave for another company. Asked him to share with me more about what he is doing and man, what attitude.
"I tell you technical things you also don't know" "I can understand cos you are not technically sound, so it is normal for you not to understand what I am doing"
Nevermind, I see you can zuai for how long. Finally asked about the pay. He is earning SGD2,600 on contract. Ok, forget it. Earn so low and still so zuai.
Guess what, today he called and asked if the offer still available. Well, according to him, the contract has become very unstable. He needs to look for another job.
My reply...... "Sorry, the position is closed"
Lesson: always have a good attitude. You'll never know when the tide will change.
