Things to do...

Figured that now i got lots of free time to do, i should kindna list them out.

Catch up on dramas/ episodes
Read up to improve on my fiction books quota
Play cello
Scan some of my old photos and embarrass myself and some old classmates
Redo this webpage~
Spend quality time with loved ones
Go church
Get fit for my IPPT

Seems like a lot to do, but that should keep me busy and away from getting depressed from this low-tide of job hunt.

turns out...

To be another Insurance company listed under Prudential.

Sigh~

Am safe at home liao.

Left the office once i saw the signboard.

Going for job interview

Will be heading to this company, which i will not say online, for an interview.

To prepare myself for this interview, i went online to search about the company. I cannot find any information about this company online except for bad comments.

And the phone interview that i had with them was very generic.

So... i told my girlfriend to call me during the interview, and bring in the special forces if i don't return call after the interview.

I might not make it back.

Take care cruel world. How hard is it for a man to get a job.




Duckzilla!

Back from Holiday... for like a week

Am back from holidays...

For like a week.

Hur. Went for a friend's wedding, and found out that she will be leaving for Malaysia, period.


I doubt i will be able to leave this country for a long time.

Now that it seems like a long holiday for me, its job hunting time for me.

Hope all goes well.

Exams are over!

Hi all,

My exams are finally over. There was no marching band or wild people running amok. But i wish there was.

When the paper was submitted, it was just a simple lunch with course mates and a walk to the bus stop.

And that was to be the last exam paper of my academic (university) life. What a bang. Huh...

Its time to prepare and ready for my 'after-exams' and 'one-year anniversary' holiday with Jo.

And it is also time to jump start my job hunt with a tinge of hardcore action!

Real working life, here i come~

My life as of now...

Is kindna in a transition from my student life to a realist working life.

(though i have yet to find a job yet and my papers officially end on June 9)

One of my NS comrades told me, the first job is always crucial as it will dictate how the rest of your working life will be like.

This statement rings truth till a certain extent, since the first job would teach the individual plenty of stuff that a temporary job would not offer.

But in this crisis where jobs are limited, can one be picky? And especially now that i realized that my degree might not offer ALL the opportunities that i was hoping for, what choices do i have remaining when i can't get a suitable job?

What is the suitable job? I could describe myself as part of the Gen-Y workforce that would really prefer jobs that are challenging rather than being highly paid. I don't see myself being in a position where i am paid highly but have no ability to make my stand and exert my full potential. This sounds like an idealistic position, so it would be much better for me to translate this into something more realistic.

Having studied through my poly and uni years as someone in the IT sector, it makes perfect sense to be in this current field. But in what field?

I had done before, data analyst during my University Internship, and got a terrible review. The supervisor had such a bad impression on my competency that she forgo the evaluation letter at the end of my internship.

The other position, was as an IT trainer, which was really fruitful in the intrinsic satisfaction, but I felt badly betrayed by the company that milked the life out of me. It made me felt that there is no prospect in this career and that the future is bleak.

I had made up my mind to forgo these two positions and seek a totally different field that would make much sense.

In the midst of job hunting (after my exams), i plan to spend more time building up my physical strength for my upcoming IPPT, spend times with my loved one(s) (like my GF who has been supportive by not complaining much about our less dating times), meet up with my friends , catch up with my reading of fiction books and of course, playing my cello.

Its an exciting new frontier.

i also want to have my convocation....

Convocation 060409 139
Jo's convocation came and go so fast, that the boring portions of talks and degree-giving (to every graduates) seems like a thing of the past.

Makes me want to have my convocation where i get to be in a graduate gown, and i can do silly poses.

Everything seems so slow when i study my books, but when i placed them down, time seems to rujavascript:void(0)n off in a flash.

Sigh~

Gambatte. One more month to exams.
