Heal the World

Heal The World - Michael Jackson


One of the favourites by him. A personal loss.


Work is improving. My department manager spoke to me again. I think he is inputting a vision in me and wanting me to rise up fast. I think partially the whole department are all so old! All of them are minimum in their fifties, only me and another guy are less than half their age. Slowly starting to know the people, contractor, owners.

Spoke to a fellow mate today, we were talking about ou career and i agreed with what he said about marine line.

"In the world, what is bigger than the sky? The sea! Unless one day you tell me airplane can carry as many containers and are cheaper than sea travel, then i will quit the marine line."

I guess personally i quite like what i do now(other than the zero contribution feeling and long learning period),it is really God's grace. Think about it, the 20k, a job while others are still hunting for an interview and something i wanna do at a place so near to my house! A few months ago, everything was still so unsure but now it turn out so well!

Anyway I haven't watch transformer...should be tml if not next week ba..watching with darling!!

Shopping

This week i burnt a hole in my pocket. Bought 3 top and 2 pants from G2000. Should have gone to the sales counter to buy. Initially wanted to tailor pants but somehow the shops are always closed when i go. Went to domanchi..Realised that tapered design are not suitable for me. I don like the "squeeze" in between my leg. So Far G2000 cut is just right for me...not too tight and not overly loose. I think this shall put a stop my shopping spree. I think it is a good investment as i need to wear them everyday, at least on weekday wherelse weekend is optional(but they still wear).


Saving plan to kick in during my first pay check. Will have a standard system to ensure I save every month.

Oh how I Love you Lord....Deeper in love with You..

M.J.

In my life, there is 2 M.J. that influence me when i was young. One of them is Michael Jordan and the other is Michael Jackson. Sadly, Michael Jackson passed away this morning.

According to Wikipedia,

" On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by his personal physician were unsuccessful. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics received a 911 call at 12:21 pm (PDT),and arrived nine minutes later at Jackson's location. He was reportedly not breathing and CPR was performed.Resuscitation efforts continued both en route to the UCLA Medical Center, and for an hour further after arriving at approximately 1:14 pm (20:14 UTC).He was noted to have already been in cardiac arrest by the paramedics who attended his house. Jackson was pronounced dead at about 2:26 pm local time (21:26 UTC). The cause of death has not been determined.

In the hours following Jackson's death, his record sales increased dramatically. His seminal album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, while another eight have made it into the top 40. In the UK, where Jackson would have performed less than three weeks after his death, his albums occupied 14 of the top 20 places on the Amazon.co.uk sales chart with Off The Wall topping the chart. In the UK iTunes store on June 26th, 25 of Jackson's songs were in the Top 100 best selling songs list.

There have been reports of foul play by Michael's doctor who reportedly gave a overdose of Demerol. LA police want to speak to the doctor who is missing. Rumors are appearing that his car was towed away. "


I was stunned this morning when I heard the news. He played an important role in molding many people's concept of POP and dance. Ways you might not have even imagined.

Simply the best POP Star.

" One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era and the sale of 750 million records worldwide.Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades."

Work

A quick note before i head to bed.

Work is really sian. I need roughly 5 years to be good at my job. Maybe 1 to 2 years to work some little assistance. My office ppl are always OTing...seems like they have something to fight for. I guess i shall take one step at a time.

Anyway, I began to treasure more time with darling. Don want to be too pre-occupied with work.

Time to head to bed. TGIF.

Evolution...right..

ARGHHH

I WANT TO SCREAM AND PUNCH SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Job scope required so much knowledge and experience that I feel so useless at work!

Right now I am a executive Paperboy. Been doing admin stuff! Other than the hours of reading and looking at figures,I am basically helping them with the Adminstrative stuff. They all will be flying of one by one to survey ship and meet the ships engineers. Some going china, some Angola.

Uncle Wong and Raymong(yes that is the correct spelling, He always joke that my name more stylo than his) keep saying take my time, but I just don feel fulfilled!!! Hiaz, I must work harder than before! I really pray that I learn everything fast!! I hope to be able to grasp everything fast!!


Hiaz..Jus can't stand the know-nothing-contribute-zero feeling!

Deeper in love

Today bible was simply the best of the series so far. It just gets better and better. It is one of those service/bible study where the presence of God is soooo strong. Towards the end of the bible study, you can literally feel the love of God saturating the whole hall. As the meeting was ending, I turn around and realised that many people were weeping and with tears in my eyes, I can't help but feel that God is sooo real in my life. I want to work towards what pastor preach about being a mature christian.

I can't really describe my current feelings in words. Perhaps like what Pst Tan said, it is the experience that you went through. The feeling of love of God that really impacted my heart. Like the shulamite woman, after experiencing God, you can't help but want to have more and more of Him.

The church is where God is. Seek him there when you are in the wilderness.

Day1

Tml will be my first official day starting work. Real work.

My department consisted mainly of very experienced colleagues. Those who have work at least 7 years on ground and 3 years in the office. It feels abit threatening when I first stepped into the office, like you are the young chap waiting to be slaughtered. HAHA. Glad to find a guy there who is of the same age as me. I think the next one nearest in age to us is about at least 10 to 15 years older than us.

Spoke to my department boss about my job scope. Basically i have darn lots of the things to learn. I am given a few manuals to read for this few days. My job basically involved calculating the cost for the projects. Sometimes we work in team, sometimes alone, depending on the size on the projects. Eventually when i get better, the ultimate aim is for me to get business for the yard. I think this is going to be abit challenging. It may takes me years to reach that stage and also, drinking and having dinner with the clients is not really my cup of tea.

Anyway tml will be my first hands on day. Hope to get my name card fast. And should be topping my table with some food and drinks. Time to bribe the seniors! haha

Orientation

Just came back from day 1 of the 4 days of orientation.Had a pretty tight schedule today. Visted and spoke to managers from 8 different departments. It was a great way to know about the whole company. Tml will be meeting the production departments. It is also a great meet up with the diff scholars. The company has freeze head count and I think most of those coming in will be on bond.

Saw my old shop ARV1 still around! ARV2 is there already. Too bad I am not in production. I will be starting off as an commercial executive doing estimating. The good thing is it is safe and it pays well( OT for both weekday and weekends) but not as dynamic as production.Production on it's own has pro and con. They all complained they need a understanding family cos they work on sat(for sure) and sometimes sun.


Suddenly everything seems better than when i intern. Perhaps because i am going to be permament staff but I hope things will be every better.

Hull, Piping, SPC, Electrical, Mechanical tml!
