GKA AT SIA CARGO

Life at Global Key Accounts (GKA) was not easy but it was fun... I learnt a lot from all my peers but especially from my boss..... Hoi Peng


My colleagues were great... thanks to all of them I manage to survive at the beginning and after a few months helped me to achieve the sales targets...


Vanessa-Me-Katherine-Guan Kai and Kevin

My mentor Mr Woon, played also a big role during my days at SIA Cargo

I had the chance to do some training during my stay there... we studied some general topics on cargo handling... here is the photo of the group... Cheryl the trainer was great.




I looked after the aerospace industry and animal movements... I enjoyed lots... we moved the GE90 the largest aircraft engine at this point in time


Some of the accounts I took care were:






I also worked in the CCP (you can see it in another entry in the blog)

DAY OF THE DEAD... TRULY MEXICAN CULTURE

On November 2, The Catholic Church celebrates the day of all souls departed..... and we try to visit our relatives wo had passed away...

Since my family is Opus Dei... so I went to visit the members of the Work who had passed away and used to live in the house I am staying.

Our first stop was the tumb of Fr Pedro Caciaro... the one who brought Opus Dei to Mexico




In the same place, don Jose Luis Masot is also buried









From there we went to visit Don Manue Garcia Galindo, a numerary who was sick and stayed in bed for almost twenty years...












After that we went to visit the one of don Guillermo Porras.. the first Mexican numerary and priest... we pray a part of the Rosary in each tumb....





On our way we found the tumb of a girl I guess.... there were lots of toys and dolls...
I took some photos of the cementery....

At the end we met a family who was going to visit their relatives... I love the little girld dressed like that... In Mexico it seems we make fun of our sister dead....




The best ones are the candies and the altars



The inscription in the altar says...
"Stop wayfarer because you are entering eternity"
We offer:
Flor de Cempasuchil... it means the life of the dead besides God.
Candles ...to light up the way for the souls to reach their homes.
Water...fountain of life, it symbolizes the purity of the soul and it quench the thirst of the diseased.
Incense... keeps away bad spirits and unites heaven and earth.
Bread... it represent the body of the dead, some with the shape of a body, skull....
Food and Drinks.... to feed the diseased.... normally are the meals the person used to like.
Skulls... made of sugar and represent Death

SIA Cargo's CCP (June 2006- July 2007)

The team we had was great...many thanks to Jacqueline, PeiJie, Shirleen, Tracy and all other volunteers who helped in the activities (Katherine..haha always there telling me what I did wrong).
