Past - Present - Passion

It's been a while since I last updated my blog. Well, I don't think this has much to do with procrastination, since the literal meaning of the word simply means to not do this thing(blog) to do other things of lesser priority. Quite contrary to this, it has been quite an eventful past few weeks.

ICT (reservist) has been great. It was so good to catch up with my NS mates. And what wonderful stories to hear about each time I am back at camp. I did not need to 'chiong' this time round, though my sergeant thought I should just 'join in the fun'. But seriously, after what happened last year, I just should not do things that I am not required to, considering I have already downgraded before ORD.

Oh well, ICT this time round has also opened my eyes to a lot of things. Within a short span of 10 days, I have witnessed ugly things. Can't help it but feel disappointed why such things would occur. I guess our whole company felt betrayed in a sense. You just cannot trust anybody so easily anymore, not even the one you used to call "brother".

On another note, I have quit my previous job in the internet marketing company due to the inefficiency and incomprehensibly lack of understanding and sensitivity of the boss. Seriously, heck it. Didn't even want to think about it anymore. Am so glad that quit soon enough. At least I can go on to greener pastures.

Having said that, I stumbled upon this magazine publishing company. Went for their interview and am so happy and blessed to know that they are willing to hire me as an intern. My monthly pay would be provided by the MDA! And the company is topping up on that.

Initially, spoke to Aaron about my concerns. I mentioned that I think that I have a wide range of interests and that I can probably do a lot of things - music, teach, write, draw, etc... He told me to think about what is the one thing I can do in the wee hours out of self-motivation and interest. To think of it, it is definitely WRITING. In fact, it dawned upon me that I really like to write alot. My many entries on my triond portfolio http://www.triond.com/users/nightcharmer are testimonies to my passion. :)

Back to the interview, it went really well. The managers said they were impressed by my writings, to which I felt really flattered. Then again, I know that if I were to go into this field, I gotta put in my best effort to go far. It is not going to be easy - with all the deadlines to meet and so on. But I am going all the way for this passion. :)
