Just rebonded + cut my hair... the only thing i can comment is that it's a new look. so different from what you used to see me. OMG. How am i going to work on mon with this hairstyle. HAHA Although it's what I had told her to cut, but stillllllllll.
And it's not cheap.
Two weeks into my work and going into August month soon. Was then told that I won't be receiving my pay for this month yet. Was kinda surprised and disappointed. How am i going to survive Aug?
Somehow, I just couldn't click with my colleagues. The only one that I talk most is an intern who will be leaving next week. Can I survive then? Was it because they are older than me or there're just no common topics to talk. They are friendly but probably still needs some time before I warm up to them. Seems like a lot of them asked me how do I find this job, whether am I still sending resume, whether will I leave shortly, blah blah blah. Don't know why but it seems to them that I won't stay long in this job. IT'S TRUE. I won't stay long in this job or in fact it depends on my application.. but all that takes a year. If it fails, I'll see how long can I stay working in this company. Nine months are enough to determine my interest, they said... but nine months seems so far away.
Going home are work is a routine or an enjoyment for me. Seriously tired after a day of work with eyes staring at the PC whole day. Think my eyesight's getting worse. AND SHIT! I have GAINED freaking weight in just two weeks. What the hell man.
All and all is just to say that "Dammit, I have no life and I need to find one".
OH WELL. Started my first job for one week now. What can I say. Not exactly what I had expected. In short, put it bluntly, I won't stay long in this company. Whether I would continue in this industry is another thing. However, I must say that I did learnt a lot from this job that's why I'm staying on before leaving. HAHA... not that I found a new job too when I didn't even do any job hunting now.
Instead, my aim at the moment - JET Programme. Not easy I heard. I REALLY hope I can get into this programme, when right now I've gotten the supports from everyone.
Also, went for my photoshoot today! Hate wearing that bonnet. Cant never look good under a cap/hat/beanie. Somehow I looked older than my sis. =.= Hope the pictures will look good (two weeks later)!
Great, I have accepted the job. Let's strive for the better future now. LOL.
Programming - seems like a sticky pest to me. Can never run away from it. Don't know it's a bliss that I learnt it or a trouble that I'm attracting it. Although it's a marketing job that I'm doing now, but it's a digital marketing. Digital = Programming. Nah, just kidding. She says she don't expect me to do programming but she's glad that I know how to program and read them cause it's a bit of those when we do our job. How I wish I could tell her that I have already forget all these stuffs and don't wish to read them up again! My books are somewhere lying in the storeroom......
When do I start work? I don't know.
Tomorrow gonna head down again to sign the offer. Do all the people that going to start their first job have this feeling that I'm feeling now? Probably it might be different if it was the job + company that they hope to get.
What a day today. Firstly had two interviews scheduled on one in the morning and one in the afternoon. In between because I had to have my lunch outside, being it wasting of time to go back home and out again, called my friends who are working around the area. Finally found one friend to lunch with, although her team came along as well. I will agree with her that her colleagues are friendly and very sociable. Good. But I don't think I can get to work there, not in the same team afterall I have applied for marketing role in her company - Citibank. No idea why but it seems alot of my friends are working in Citibank. And then met up with my Uni friends for dinner and had fun times for the night.
So first interview was actually good. Hmm.. I think the HR manager is very friendly and I feel like I click with her better than my 'supposed' manager cause partly my manager looks fierce. Everything was okay except for the pay wise and the company. Company as in, I don't know it is a MNC or SME and the office is... not what I had expected. Alot of Caucasians as well, jeez I'm always stuck with working them. Their accents are really strong that I afraid I might not be able to catch it well/fast AND interacting with them is a headache, due to my experiencessss. But that's very minor as compared to pay wise. Ah! sidetrack, I saw one VERY CUTE Caucasian guy, don't know is British or Australian. And he was one of those that talked to me while I was waiting there. Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ Sorry Darling~ HEHE. Oh well.......... And I'm being offered for the position in the evening with a bit of rise..................... *sighs* Should I be happy? Perhaps I should work very hard since I can get a pay rise if my performance is good during pay reviews. HAHA... That will be my motivation. LOL.
Second interview. Don't even bother mentioning it. Although it says itself is the largest in Asia, but so many comments and reviews have actually tarnished its reputation saying that they didnt pay their employees for 2 months and some other stuff.. That was the first impression implanted into my mind. To think I was still very excited about this job initally. Even worse, when went to the interview, I was asked to go down to the cafe to wait for another 30mins and when I went up again, another 5 mins they said but in fact was 15mins! I waited a total of 45 mins for a 10 mins interview! Not that I want to complain but, it adds on to its bad image in my mind. Oh well.
I suddenly don't feel like working. Insecure. Should I start my career path soon or should I wait? Risk and gamble - two main factors now.
*Cheers* I have officially graduated today! But there are mixed feelings here. Happy cause those stressing over projects and exams are over; Sad cause I feel working life is even worse and that I'm leaving my close friends behind.
Anyway, got to school early in the morning to find that I have not much time to dress up! Haha. Well I did of course in the end, thanks to Hid. This close friend of mine has been walking with me since poly days.. Weet! Feels damn good. We finally graduated, Hid! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ
Ceremony was as usual, however there was this moment of nervousness when I was about to walk up the stage. Wearing the bonnet and the gown were like wearing beanie and coat in summer. Really hot. Was perspiring so much despite the air-conditioners. And so taking pictures became a dread. But glad that I took with all my friends who attended or were graduating too.
Two surprises came. One, thanks to Eunice and Kim for the card and the lovely pen. Was surprised when Anthony said he had something for me from Eunice. LOL. Two, thanks to Fafa who came over and gave me a bouquet of flower. My mum was still saying before that it will be nicer if I had flowers in my hands but I told them it's okay, too expensive. Then came Fafa later. HAHA.
Thanks for all the gifts and wishes! Sorry if I didn't have much time to accompany you guys! LOVE YOU GUYS! AND SEE YOU SOON I HOPE!
Haha. Had my Japanese placement test today! All was for continuing my language learning outside school. Was so worried about the test since it's been months since I last touched the books. Language, once you didnt practice constantly, you'll forget. How true it is. Luckily I didnt forget entirely since it was only couple of months ago. Chiong-ing the studies this one week.. felt like i'm preparing for an exam again.
Placement test was actually like a short conversation with one of the tutors. Felt relieved but at the same time, felt a bit 'cheated' - afterall I made myself studied the entire mod again. Oh well, anyway I'll be starting my class next week! That's fast! HEHE. On my way to attain my final goal~
Uhh... I need a job. Seriously.
