The Phantom Strikes Back...

Dear family & friends,

Good news....

I've found a new job as a Sales Manager with a web-based applications solution company. A small company but then again, its a great challenge to grow with it. I see myself re-living those days in Henry Butcher where I brought its agency department to its peak under my leadership. I hope to do likewise here.

My boss has very high regards for me. He is confident that my past business experience, my sharp business acumens and my leadership qualities would be beneficial to his company. He is frank and honest to say that he can't promise me much now but he aspires to take the company to greater heights. He hoped that I could be his vehicle that will take him there. And when that happens, he promised that I would be rewarded accordingly.

Actually, after all that I've gone through, there's really nothing much that I can ask for. I mean, I am in no position to ask for anything now. Like a fallen angel, its hard for anyone to see my abilities. I should just deliver whatever I have and bring the results before asking for anything. For now, it will be solely hardwork with a small pay-package but I have faith that we will make it. Not that I am complacent, but rather, this company has a good foundation. Its got very skilled engineers and they have a sound business model. Just that as engineers, they lack the right marketing fire-power and ammunition to punch through.

My boss was an elite communications engineer in a high-profile company that had served some of the biggest organisations including NASA. Its other key engineer was formerly from another elite group - the F16 Sqn of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (now you see why I'm so at home here?).

Our company's forte is in VOIP (Voice Over IP) communications, E-Learning Solutions, Web-Based Business Management Solutions and Internet Video Conferencing. Our VOIP solutions give crystal clear voice and video that would help many companies save thousands of dollars in IDD bills. Our web-streaming solution is by far the fastest in the industry that makes our E-Learning Solutions a much sought after solution. Our web-based business solutions will bring geographically handicapped businesses to astonish heights.

Since I joined the company, I can feel the high morale in everyone there. They all have strong AQs and working attributes that had given me hope. Together, we've broken down doors that were shut to the company before. We can now re-group whatever resources that we have now and soon, we would be launching massive marketing campagins wave after wave...

I see a future here. I'm also in the process of recruiting my team of power sales people to drive this mission. And this is like deja-vu. When I first joined Henry Butcher, they only had 3 sales agents. It grew to over twenty and some of them became some of the best agents in the industry.

Well, its nice that my boss can see me beyond the current mess that I am in and gave me this opportunity to regain my lost ego, my badly bruised soul and most of all, my dignity. I know I am a strong man in every aspect (physical, emotional, phsychological, etc)... and though I know I'd get up no matter how hard I fall, that lift from my boss was all that I need to spring me back up immediately. Its like a wounded soldier in a defeated battle... worn and weary... lying down in pain but hanging on... biting the bullet and fighting on to stay alive for as long as he can... then suddenly, his brothers in arms arrived to his aid... NOW... this wounded soldier stands up once again... and with all that he is still left with, he charges forward together with his commardes despite his wounds still bleeding... he's a warrior once again... and together, he will over-run all odds... he is unstoppable now...

The Phantom won't be defeated... he is stronger than ever before because he knows that there would be no obstacles that could stop him now... no mountain too high for him... no river too wide... those hard knocks that he took made him stronger... those obstacles are now his pillar of strength... and not only will the Phantom survive... he will move on to re-claim the glory that he once lost...

Well, Christmas is only 10 days away... so let this Christmas bring hope to everyone around me... let this Christmas mark the re-birth of the Phantom.... As for my Christmas, I just hope that Iggi can be here to witness this fight to re-claim my lost crown... I wished he could see his father live up to all the things that his father believed in and had taught him when he was a kid... and most of all, I hope to be a father that he can be proud of... Merry Christmas...
