*I found a job, alas!*

Thanks Eha, for the encouragement! Wana share a piece of good news; I got 2 job offers!

Actually I have already accepted one this morning.. as a Promo Exec for Yonex and Mikasa, at Sunrise & Co.. Then when I was checking my mail just now, I realised that another company had also forwarded me the appointment letter but the dateline was 27th August, and I din't check my mail for the past few days so i kinda missed the dateline already. Anyways, it is a sales position and the commission package was far better than the promo exec post, but thats not what i reli wana do, so i guess its all fated.

I'm starting work this wednesday, and the office is within walking distance from my house.. Good one right? Keke.. I guess perserverance really does pay off :)
Aza aza fighting!

I found an ulcer close to where my wisdom tooth is currently growing, so i guess that was what that is causing the pain these few days.. its so painful i can't chew anything properly.. but its not stopping me from going to have fun later!

Take care guys!

Job-hunt continues~

Its so terrible to WAIT!! Was at my final interview at Sunrise & Co. yesterday.. and after waiting for like 10 minutes (I was supposed to be there at 11.30am but i was early actually), 2 other girls came into the room.. yeah! Same Room! Btw, I was applying for their Promotions Executive position and I think there were more than 1 vacancy.

Alright.. then we talked to each other and realised that we are supposed to meet the MD for the final interview but none of us can understand why they make us wait in the same room.. After waiting for another 20 minutes or so.. the MD finally came into the room and ask us to intro ourselves, casually. Then he said something like, he will be rushing to Japan tonight and he have no time for us, so have to reschedule the interview to Friday when he's back.. something to add on, he said "If you are here to have fun, then pls leave.. if u reli want a career then I welcome u".. I was like... *WTF

So right now, the only thing is to wait... ... tick tock.. tick tock... tick tock...

oh Eha, u found a job already??? Congrats!!! Hope you start working soon!
Staying at home praying is BORED!

Hope I can get the job at Sunrise too.. Im too mentally tired to continue my job search.. u know.. anticipation can kill!

Looking at myself.. I really dun look like the "unemployed" but why am I one?? I really duno wats gone wrong with my job search.. everything seems unsmooth for me nowadays.. and I start questioning myself.. "WHY?". I have been positive all along but how long more is heaven going to put this test on me? and again.. WHY?.

I'm not the superstitious sort.. but im starting to think whether all these setbacks have been due to my luck.. was it something that i have done? Just really wana take a break to think.. but i just cant.. everybody is concerned about me finding a job.. i think all of them have expectations of me.. and its more dutiful for me to fulfil those expectations.. I mean, I know they are not so worried my financial problem.. its more like, they are worried i might be upset and depressed in the long run. And indeed, it is biting me now.. mom and bro has been saying things like.. "I don't see why u can't get a job!" Well, beats me too.. Im so lost.

Yesterday afternoon was helping WJ at P&G cuz she needs some urgent doc for friday so i went down to help her with it.. she is paying me $8.50 an hour.. not too bad.. i earned $34 yesterday.. The jobs she gave me, actually is for one whole day to complete, but i finished in 4 hours. She said, might need me again on wed or thurs. Been handling too much paper yesterday, i think i have at least 2 cuts on my hands.. yeah.. papercuts.

J & B are going for the SQ walk-in this weekend.. wish them all the best.

One nostril blocked ;(

Wonder why the medicine didn't work and my phlegm seems more after I took the cough syrup.
Now i'm one nostril blocked.. have to breathe thru my left nostril... ><

Eha > You are looking for job too? Sighz... heard ppl said the market is good for employment now, but to me it doesn't seem to be the case thou. I think it really depends on our own luck! For some, finding job is a Breeze.. For some, it could take months.. and I think i fall into the later category. Nowadays I dread meeting relatives and friends.. hate the feeling of replying them "I'm STILL looking for a job" upon being asked. Sigh.... Lets work hard together! I'm sure somewhere there're good jobs waiting for us!

Oh yah.. btw, my bf & I dun mind others joining us.. cuz we spend enough time together and "foreign inputs" are welcome.. haha..

Tomoro's our 41st National Day! Happy Birthday Singapore!

Not to forget, today's YW's birthday, and 2 days later is Ru's Bday!! Happy Birthday Everyone!

Im sick SiCk SICK!

Ever since I returned from Genting, have been feeling a little wierd in my throat..
Last friday, the virus finally erupted! Along with the sore throat virus, comes with the good friend virus - FLU. So now im hugging to my tissue pack again, preparing for any mucus leaking! Haven been breathing in good air for long.. my nostrils are STUCK!

Had a funny dream last night! Ah bi went "gai gai" with a few fellow dogs, and when she came home, she only had one eye! Oh my god! I remembered i was so stunned i faster run to my mum and told her about it.. then the next moment.. I'm awaken by the morning sun already.

Yesterday went to JAL for my 2nd interview.. STRESS this time.. cuz there were 7 people in the room, 5 main interviewers and 2 observers! We went in as group of 4.. and me.. again.. is the first to intro! Dammit. When i smiled, i can feel my cheeks twitching.. just like those obasans who went for botox injections on their face. As stiff as rock. Tried to concentrate while the rest of the group is speaking.. but my throat keeps getting itchy so i had no choice but to cough like a mosquito in the room. they might have seen what i was doing cuz i saw a few of them looking at me.. BOO. After the interview, we went into another room to do the scar check one by one. When they were checking on my wrist, i was like "oh shit!" cuz i had a few mosquitobite scars and a mini scar near my wrist (not suicidal!!) caused by Cocoa! I think they must have mistaken the scar for a suicidal one.. lol.

YB is jio-ing for a swimming session tomoro.. later asked GR see if he is interested.. YB says after that can go billard too! but i duno how to play.... .... :(

And know what? That day saw M on line then she told me that Poh is back to Scotland.. and I was like.. "Oh yah huh!! We are already in August now!" Soooooo Sorry Poh.. forgotten all about the meeting up cuz have been busy last few weeks and moreover i went to Genting late July so forgotten all about U, when i came back u were gone! Guess I would have to save up and see u in Glasgow someday.

*sneeze sneeze sneeze
(is poh scolding me? lol)

triple attack again.. better go get some rest. U ppl ought to drink more water, else end up like me... take care~

Back from Genting & JAL interview!


















Hey hey people~

I'm back last saturday, but forgot to update my blog until today then i remembered, OH YAH I STILL HAVE A BLOG! keke.. ..


Genting was ok, with 2 days rainy out of 3. We went down to Genting on the 2nd day, and the cab fare costs RM65 for going down and RM75 for going up! DUH.. I felt like we are 4 carrot heads that are there to be chopped. Just my 2cents worth, next time u guys better take the shuttle bus from the first world bus terminal.. the down trip oni costs RM7+, duno about the up trip thou.. but i guess should be ard the same price. Taking Cab means transforming urselves into carrot heads!

KL things are the same as what we have here, so din't buy anything at all.. I almost won RM50 at the jackpot.. but lost it all again. Anyways its just for the kick of it, so doesn't matter.. I dun believe in Gambling anyways.

As for the JAL interview, I managed turn up for the sunday interview at JAL and they let me in too.. And!! I am so lucky, i managed to get thru the 1st interview and the next one is this coming sunday.. Heehee... Yeah.. competition was very strong in my group of 5, with me, there were a current Tiger Airway crew, an ex-emirates crew, a japanese-speaking Japanese Company Personal Assistant and a potential SQ crew who made it thru all the rounds in SQ but was rejected in the end because of qualifications.

Well, I did not pin high hopes on this, so its actually very surprising too. But however, might not make it thru the 2nd thou.. since the competition will be stronger with screening done. And moreover, there is still the 3rd and last interview... SO TOUGH!!


Monday was my bro's 28th birthday so mum actually bought a cheesecake for him, and we celebrated at midnight.. turned up that the silly candle (which u can see from the pic), is a trick candle.. so it just re-lit itself everytime we blew it off.. so funny!

As i have no business attire (it is stated in the letter that we must be in our business attire), yesterday went shopping and bought a black skirt at Seiyu.. I din't realise that business attire reli costs big bucks man! If normal circumstances, i wun even pay more than $35 for a skirt.. and that skirt costs $43.90! I haven got a blouse yet, intending to borrow from A.. actually saw one yesterday but also costs $40++ and I thought that was so EX!! cuz its just a normal short sleeve blouse and not from any brand which i know of, but it goes well with the skirt i bought lah!

Yipee... It's Friday~ TGIF! I alwaz loved weekends.. thou everyday seems like a weekend to me.. but it simply means I will have people accompanying me during weekends!
