The past one week or so

Hey guys,

I remembered writing that I will share with you some cool jobs that I will be
doing (or rather, have already done) for my holidays.

Here's one!

Casterone,
The name of the ship I worked in from 8th-9th September.
Well, we basically worked as catering service staff (a better name for waiters)
on board for VIPs during the vessel's naming ceremony.
It is really a once.in.a.lifetime experience. I always complained that I have never
been onto a cruise and have been eagerly wanting a cruise trip... haha,
now I can openly brag to people that I have been on a $1 Billion worth vessel.
But honestly speaking,
The job is really tiring. We had to 'transform' the vessel's staff canteen into a
VIP dining area.
 And guess what, we were almost left with half a day for the task
after settling into the vessel. (We travelled 45 mins on a small ferry from West Coast
Pier prior reaching the vessel, somewhere out in international waters).
The most laborious part is the clearing up I guess.
After the event which lasted for only a short 2 hours, we had to return the canteen into
it's original state. Carrying all the equipments back into the container is really... phew.
I can still feel my back aching a little.

But I think such work really helps me to build my perseverance.
Like what Asri, our manager, said
" Endurance is Perseverance",
it is so true.

We barely had sleep. Three hours of eye-shutter and the rest were tons of mind boggling
set up work and unloading of ridiculously heavy equipments. (For e.g all the Chinaware
the VIPs used to dine on).

Despite the tiredness, this trip is really worth it's while. An eye opener and a whole
new experience. Adding on, I got a chance to get together with my HTM mates who were
on board.

Besides work,
I have also been working on my arrangement project, Augustine's song 'The Living God'.
It is in it's making and I hope to finish the project by the end of September.
By then, I will hopefully be able to share it with all of you.

So far, Holidays have been packed but really fulfilling.
At first I wanted this holiday to be really laid back.. haha but doesn't seems to be that way.
(I just received another outdoor catering job this Friday :/)

Maybe I'm destined to be busy. All the time ;)
