So far so good
My first week involved mainly trainings. And the systems are really quite confusing to use but i think with more practice wld b much better. To be honest, duno how will i do with this coz there are many things that need to look out for and i really dun think it is easy (not even moderately tough, hahah). People there are nice and they do help answer any questions i have and try their best to pass any (what they think)useful experience to me. So really appreciate their help. And i wld say so far so gd. But i also understand in a work environment, there are bound to be competitiveness, so i will try my best and hopefully my best is gd enough (if not better...hahaha) =)
I did it
Well, my dad said "为什么不来就不来，一来就一起来." I agree with him totally man. As mentioned previously, Im about to start a new journey really soon. And i just received another offer yesterday, something that i really want, really like and i will think something i will enjoy more coz of the job scope (not considering the pay/future prospect etc). But unfortunately im unable to accept it for ive already sign another offer made earlier. So ive replied and rejected the new offer.
I really hope i won't regret it down the road. For now, i have to yet again prep myself to face the new challenge ahead. Its really a mystery where every time ive made my mind and convince/prep myself to look ahead in 1 area, another wld pop up to try n change my mind..haha.. "Life is a mystery", how fitting this quote is for me.
Made a decision
Will be starting another new experience on 18th May. Learnt alot from the previous one, now, moving onto a new one, will definitely learn even more, that i'm 100% sure. Its a first step to learn more as well as the first step to figure out if it is really what i want from now on. But it'll definitely be a challenge for me, given those targets to meet and a brand new environment. Hopefully I'll be up for it and able to do well at it. So, have roughly 1 week to relax n slack (though got a number of things need to get done before the beginning of this new journey), better enjoy myself man. Haha.
Anyway, met up with lyd, came up with another plan together (or rather she suggested while i agree and support, haha) hopefully this will work out (like the previous plan) coz it sounds really fun. haha. And gdluck lyd, i'm sure u'll get the job u want and enjoy your trip. =P Hmm....I also promise shu something ( but i dun think she remembers, seriously), so will get it done soon lar,mayb next week? heh...
No time No life No rest......
If u ask how am I, I would say I'm not that fine
Working non-stop from 8am-12am(or later), I don't have any free time
Feeling drain mentally and physically thru out the whole time
I really need a job that I can call mine
I don't know when I can say goodbye
But if things are kept up, life is no more divine
Im just trying my best to survive

But i really really want a LIFE!!!
PS:Eunice if u read this blog(which i dun update that often), i have ur msn, its just that i dun have much time to go online. And really very long haven't see u, hope all are well for u. Take care! :)
Finally
I know it has been months since i last blog. Initially was because i got nothing to blog, now its because i got no TIME to blog. I don't even have proper time to reset and sleep lor. Ive started working as a temp helpdesk staff, has been working LONG LONG hours for the past 2 weeks, 9am-12am...(LONG right?) =P
Today finally got an off day, finally able to check mail, surf net, read books n newspaper, watch tv and juz plain SLEEP and REST! I really hope the shift work will be finalised asap and confirm the schedule quickly. Coz i really need my own personal time n not like stay glued in front of the computer. Im still not sure of how to solve quite a few problems but monday i may have to do helpdesk with 2-3 men down, so abit worry over it. Fingers cross that everthing wld turn out fine on mon.
Anyway, my convocation is coming. Its a 'once in a lifetime' moment (at least dats what some friends n some cousins say) so wld go n soak up the "moment"..hehe...k lar, shall stop here n go catch up on other things..Ive got too many things to do but dun have the time to do..So must go chiong my way thru. :X
Figuring out the next step
I've not make any post for some time, even though quite a few events had happened. Primarily I don't know what to 'say' and also I dont't think i have anything to say. Anyway, just a short congrats to chix on her wedding, I'm so happy for her and I'm sure her husband will definitely treat her well n make her happy. It's the first wedding (of closer friends) that I've attended so far and I think it will likely be quite some time b4 there's another (since most of my closer friends are not attached.) =P
Well, most(if not all) of my friends who graduated with me had found a job. And I've not. People have been telling me that its 'ok' since the economy is bad now and take your time etc. I understand all these and I agree with them. But there are times where I feel this 'pang' in my mind that "I need to find a job and I need to have something to work/look forward to every morning when I wake up." Although I guess there are ppl who rather not look forward to work and instead prefer to have more off time. But anyway, this sudden 'pang' is happening more often nowadays, maybe bcoz its really been some time that i've been without a job. I kept on telling myself and giving myself deadline that something positive will come by then, it was Xmas, then new yr and now CNY. And Ive juz recently told myself that I will definitely make a concrete n definite decision on what to do nxt after CNY. Hmm..It makes me wonder, am I too 'naive' or too optimistic or just plain too lazy. *shrugs*
My mum and relatives had been telling me on what to do next. And ive given some thots to that and some more.
1) Go into the accounting line --- I actually dun mind this coz its not smthg that i dont like and i think dealing with figures are fine with me but i duno if this industry is still hiring and i think i prob wld have to take up ACCA if I step into this industry.
2) Take up a language/translation/translator course --- my mum suggested it but i dun think so lar.haha
3) Be a teacher --- I dun mind being just a PE teacher but i doubt that i can be one w/o having to teach another subject. And to be honest I really dont think i can teach, duno if im patient enough and if i can explain and make the students understand(not talking about PE though). And being a teacher is hard, I dont wanna do it unless i know i can, coz education is juz too important in a kid's life for me to dilly and dally my way through.
4) Take up physiotherapy --- This was what i wanted after As and i dun mind trying again since now is a good time to study. But whether I can get into the course (be it locally or overseas) is another question altogether. Considering locally I've been rejected twice already. =x
5) Take up a short term course in tourism --- This is something that I thot of recently coz I had a great time working in the tourism industry (albeit for only 3 mths) and maybe I could explore this option further.
6) Find a sports related job --- I will love for this to happen. Enough said. =D
7) Find a part time job (in retail coz they ARE hiring) and continue to send resumes and wait --- Well the above sentence says it all dosen't it? =P
So many 'choices', it all depends on what i plan to choose/do. This time i promise, i will decide and make the move after CNY. No more procrastinating. (Do i dare to ask...anyone got any opinions?)
PS: Maybe i should print this post out so i can read it again and give it my deep thoughts. Coz i think i basically had everything nailed down here. =p
A 'ridiculous' post-it
Went out early in the morning with my parents and just got home. Found a post-it note on my house front door. It says: "请不要把鞋放在地板上！每人只限放两双鞋！违者将被没收！"
My 1st reaction was WTH?!? (And when we went out there was only 1 pair of slippers outside our unit.And when we were at home only,1 pair of slippers and 1 pair of shoes r outside our unit.) I doubt its from the RC/HDB/Town council coz if we had 'broken' such a rule we will likely be sent a formal letter with a proper letterhead instead of a post-it note which was stick onto our door with scotch tape. Anyway, this is the first time ive encountered such an event and im wondering is there such a rule sumwhere out there.(I really doubt there is but anyone noes anything abt it?please do let me noe man.)
My dad wanted to reply (on the same post-it) : "关你屁事！... 拿我的鞋被我看到，将当贼抓。"
I told my dad if he reply like that is quite rude why not 'play' with the words they used. So i suggested replying "你写说每人只限放两双鞋。我家有三个人，那么能放六双才对阿！" hahaha.But my mum say it may be the cleaners of the estate that wrote it, so mayb can ask them to clarify if we happen to see them, which my dad n i agreed also. But still, i find the post-it quite ridiculous. :p
