March 29 Passion: A lifetimefriendSo actually, Passion does exist in this cold world afterall
The 'devil' in me chose not to believe in Passion since Aug 2006. But a recent incident at work re-instilled my belief in Passion once more (though I must admit I am still keeping a distance from it at times).
Someone told me that the greek word for Passion is Sacrifice. Indeed. To fulfill one's Passion, some form of Sacrifice is needed.
Working at 3dsense Media School is perhaps one of the most blessed happenings to me in 2006. It all started on 26th Oct 06 when I found 3dsense's website through the Jobstreet.com.sg recruit ad (for Administrator). All along I was interested in Animation (as an audience, and I love Arts and Theatre), and was thinking of working in a private school....(but my impression of Private Schools in Singapore was not that positive).
Stumbling upon 3dsense's website, I saw the opening of Marketing Manager. The job scope sounds good, something I am able to cope, and hence took on the attitude of 'just send in loh' (with not much interest-and did a simple 'Cut & Paste template' of resume).
As usual, I would always look at an organisation's website before sending in my resume (to make my template more sincere...). And this extract on 3dsense's website struck me:
A company by the passionates, for the passionates
This is the guiding tenet, the engine that drives the 3dsense family, and is the indisputable element that shapes her recruitment philosophy. Since inception, 3dsense has been led by individuals who possess pure passion, amazing level of focus and above all, deep aggressive and drive. Candidates who aspire to join this family of fun and passion must possess these qualities on top of meeting specific job requirements. We must however admit that the 3dsense environment can be a highly stressful one.Candidates must therefore be able to perform well under stress. Above and beyond, 3dsense is a place where friendships are built, relationships forged and talents are nurtured. In all positions, 3dsense will provide an immense opportunity to learn and grow. I thought: "This must be some template kind of writeup by the Communications guy". Where in this world can we still find people who work for passion (and not to mention in the For-profit sector).
4 months later (I joined 3dsense on 13 Nov, along with Windsor), I must say I need to retract my doubts, because every word above (in blue) is true. I have personally gone through the same kind of emotions that the writer above seeks to convey.
Indeed, 3dsense is a school/organisation where Passion reigns (well at least this is what I see from the founders' working attitudes).
Though I am still not a passionate person as I was 2 years ago, I am blessed to be brought to this place by my Creator.
Did I share with you that I almost did not want to pick up the director's phonecall for me to go down for interview on the 27th Oct? (I remembered I was in the MRT, and it was noisy and I couldn't even make out his name....and vividly recalled him saying going for interview on friday...and I casually said, 'ok', but at heart I was planning not to go....because I wanted so much to succeed in the NUH job interviw on the same friday, which was what I thought is the right job for me....
Again, it shows how Creative and Amazing my Creator is. He always has his plans for me, and never once collide with mine...
But, I have no regrets being brought to this lively and animated place, where Passion drives workers, and friendships sparkle amidst the ocean of 'work politics or-so those HR people termed...'
Not sure of how I will move on here but God will make all things work out. Well at least He made me a tool to encourage discouraged and struggling hearts like Diana's (who is another passionate Artist, who love Leo Ku too!!!).
somehow, is always a joy, a pleasure to make people smile:)
March 10 我要爱every1What would u say to a man who spits right in front of you?
I wanted so much to go up to scold that man (who smokes) who spit on the ground at Sengkang bus stop this afternoon, after attending Trevor's boy's 1st birthday party.....
It's just me, so impulsive, ever-so-'righteous' (but not) kind of attitude wherever I go. It's no wonder why noone has explicitly told me he/she likes me so far...
Reading Pei's blog made me realise how much we all yearn for people's love. But again, it made me think if I had really loved her enough? If I had, then why is she still feeling so lonely?
I hope to give her the best birthday gift this coming wed....
This week has been the worst since I started at 3dsense Media School. Why? I took my 1st MC in these 3 months, and I felt discouraged/disappointed about some stuff at work. It happens to everyone I believe, but I cannot figure out how to resolve it for the time being.
So I decided to remain unfazed and continue to work for the sake of working. From the day I decided to leave SAC, I knew it would take me a long long time to recover and regain my passion in life.
I still cannot fathom what is the purpose in my life, though I kept telling people I want to work in some international charities like Oxfam.
At trevor's house earlier, I had one of the least dose of patience. I kept feeling restless and couldn't sit still and did not have the heart to stay. And to make things worse, his dad was 'over friendly' and began to teach me and Joanne 'Qi-gong', then preached about 'do good lah, bible and buddhism etc'....it all sounded like XYZVYWS....nags to me....and I found myself having no heart and sincerity to listen to him.
Why have I become so cold? It irks me as well.....
Oh God, I need to really sit down and pray and fast to regain my faith and love.
Looking at Sun Ho's new MTV and song 'Embrace' at MTV channel inspired me. Though she has her side of controversies, I applaud her for doing a good job in shining for God's glory in using her talents to impact people.
Finding it not as easy as before to love others....'Phil 2:4- Each of you should not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others'. How easy it is for me NOT to memorise scriptures nowadays and simply replied on my own strength.
Diana was commenting on how people feel empty mostly....yet it is unknown to her that having you GOD in life will make a big difference in how we lead our lives.
I may whine a lot more nowadays, may feel more inferior when I compare myself to friends, may feel useless in terms of career achievement, may feel sad about my family situation, may feel oppressed about certain issues in life (such as Health, Dating? not priority anyway....), BUT, I know my heart can be at peace when I focus on God, his almighty Lord who will guide me to eternal life one day.
And the most headache thing now is to HOW to help my parents know God before it's too late.
I reckon I should stop living for myself, in my own dreamy world, and come out of it and do something for my family before it is too late...
God, for you do I truly wanna live...I may not be able to say I am loving you the most now, but I would wanna grow, and reach a stage one day when nothing else matters and only You means everything....
My renewed goals are to help my friends know you, and to live my life that is truly shining for God....in every little thing I do.
