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.
Haha! Finally collected my graduation gown today! Although it was meant to be yesterday, but oh well, I don't see it makes any much differences since the collection is fast. Although I said the collection is fast, THE PAYMENT is DAMN SLOW! I think I've queued up for about an hour plus just to make my payment! Seriously I think they can open up more counters for it since the queue was VERY LONG.
Saying that, I realized how "sweet" I am for that many "bees" A.K.A. sales people to come up and tried to sell stuffs pertaining to my graduation. There were these alumni thing, flowers, donations, photo shoots and certificate medal stuffs. One after another.. *suffocating* Of all these, only photo shoots matter attracted me and my mum of course. Juggling for like one to two hours between two competing studios, finally settled for one of them!
While queueing up for the payment earlier, saw my friends and they asked whether am I buying the bear. "Huh?" was the first reaction I gave. Didn't know they are selling graduation bears/lions. Told them that I'll see first since my mum might complain that I have too many bears at home. So before exiting the hall after settling my photo shoots was the bears/lions section. Before I mentioned anything, what came after that surprised me. My mum asked me whether I prefer a graduation bear or a lion. Saying that it was for my graduation, also hoping that it can replace Wawa. Shocked was my first reaction. Happiness came next. After looking that bear and lion, decided to buy the lion since it's CUTE! and it is a representation of NUS and also I have a bear beside me on my bed. What's cute about the lion/bear is that they are wearing graduation gown with your faculty sashs! Tottemo kawaii deshou?! Uhhh cute stuffs just melt me right away~
Woot~ It's been a while since I last blogged!
Hmm.. What to update when I'm slacking right now.. Have been applying for all I can but still, no calls yet.
Now, I DON'T UNDERSTAND AT ALL. I didn't received ANY calls at all! WHY? I've been wondering. Is it my cover letter or my resume went wrong? Or is it just because I don't have experience? Hey come on, I'm a FRESH GRADUATE! For God's sake, where do I get all these needed experiences when I'm not given a single chance in the first place?!
Just hope I can get one soon, it's going to be July. Having spent one month holiday-ing and one month slacking while hunting job, it's enough for me. Will other people feel so tired of slacking like I do? Probably it's just me?
Enough of that... well I have decided to add a new section to my blog - wishes. It's just to remind me of what I need to do and achieve.
Recently, have been thinking...
Reconsidering.....
Had a girls talk session with Kim, makes me reconsider further......
What if.......
Could it be......
Will it be......
Told me that he was a bit lonely there. So I thought of calling him to accompany him.
Afternoon call is fine, he said.
And the next day, I even messaged him to tell him I'm calling in about 10 mins later.
And when I called, the FIRST QNS he asked was 'What's up?'!!
Like WTH!! It's okay he said that he haven't read my message because there was a friend with him now. Friend visiting him is beyond our control, so it's also okay that we didn't talk because of that. But what pissed me off right out is that first question to me! The way he said was like he DIDN'T know that I was going to call him at all and I need to have something ON in order for me to call him!!!
*Steaming* - *Sucking in air* - *Cooling down*
Hello, I'm scared that you are bored and lonely staying over at that place, so wanted to kill your boredom. But it seems like you are not that lonely or bored after all~
I know I should be kind and understanding since you're a patient at the moment, but what pissed me off has nothing to do with you being a patient.
