Things are on track!

Been awhile since the last posting..

Things has been getting on fine, really fine. After countless weeks of wait i finally got my interviews coming. Recently, i have accepted the job offer from the bank as a personal banker. It is like a dream come true! I must say that the interviews were tough and mind teasing. I went thourgh a drilling 400 question psycometric test which had to be done in 2 1/2hrs man. Can you believe it?! Got the confirmation call 2 days after the test. Felt so happy that i could fly to the moon!

Currently i am still waiting for my damn transcripts to be done and sent to be before i can sign on the doted line!!! The University is obviously taking its own sweet time to get the results done up!!! Although the verbal agreement between the employer and i is firmed, but the thought of not having my signature on the paper is killing me!!! Damn it!!! I hope the results will be out really soon. There has been countless calls made to the school to rush them on the release of the results. Everyone has been waiting for the full results to be out so they can get on with the progrssion of their lives.

Some thoughts on my own life.. Things are getting on track. Glad i landed a great job and i have a great family and a group of really close friends around to support me. The next goal is to paint the career path into a nice potrait. Whats next? Whats next? Man... I so excited for things to get moving. Now that i have been given the chance to do what i can, nothing is going to stop me from acheiving what i have always wanted to acheive in life! All i can do now is just wait for the first day of work to come.

A Peek Into Reality!

Geez, i guess the time has come for me to grow up and start doing the things a man's got to do in life... to look for a JOB. Over the recent months i have grown to realise that looking for a JOB is not difficult but finding one that you THINK best suits you is not easy. Know why? Cos there are hundreds or even thousands of people applying for the same job! I've learnt a big lesson 2 months ago when i had the oppurtunity to go for an interview with UOB but smartass me went to tell them that he has a JOB already! Even up till now, i still feel like killing myself for making that rash decision. All i do everyday now is wait wait and wait. Check my shares, Dad's investments, read the papers, abit of gaming, meet friends for coffee, eat or sleep!!! I am so SICK of having an aim but no platform to achieve my aim! Everything is Spend Spend Spend! Now i see the need to start somewhere and do something that will change my life..

When i start to think back a few years, i begin to recap voices of advice and problems of completing studies and looking for a JOB. I start to ponder on my existing state, everything i've heard seemed to have came true. Sadly, it has been 3 weeks since i sent my resumes out and no reply yet. I pray everyday that i get a call or an e-mail from any of the JOBs i have applied to. Things just got worst lately when i realise that my bank accounts were getting low!!! I NEED A JOB BADLY!!! I know i maybe getting a job for the wrong reasons at the moment. First things first, i know which industry i want to work in. i know that i am serious in whatever i do. I know i want to pamper myself. I know i want good working experience. I know i want to buy some stuffs i think i want. I know i want a CAR fully financed on my own! Guess it is normal to have this kind of thoughts for a fresh person into the working life right?

Now a peek into reality for me. Things has not really been harsh for me at the moment. I feel lucky to be blessed with a good family and good friends around me. I know i have been taking things abit too lightly. The need to bring in income is not pushing me. Things has to change. I do not want to get too used to NUA-ing then start having problems adjusting to work life. From this very moment, i take this entree as a confirmation to friends and myself that i will wake up from being too easy and light on life and be serious on doing everything in life. You guys be my witness (whoever reads this la!) that i will hold to what i say and achieve what i want to achieve in the coming 5-10 years. WISH ME LUCK!!!

Its over..

Its been such a long time since i last stayed home for the whole day. Although i felt really bored, i managed to squeeze as much time as i can to communicate with my dad. Im not saying that he is boring or what but ya know... young people like their own space and time. I woke up this afternoon at 4pm! Geez.. i thought to myself, i wasted more than half a day away.

Guess it was because of the lack of rest from friday and saturday due to the race of time to complete the final presentation and the final year project. I tell you... i only got to sleep at 8am Satuday morning. Woke up 3hrs later and then rushed to school for the presentation. I felt like SHIT man. Haven't felt like that in a long time. Something just popped to my head. Has anyone got the same kind of treatment as i got for projects? i am not asking this question regarding the lack of rest. I am asking on the basis of group member(s) doubting on your competance level, thinking you cannot do a good job thus they rather do the job themselves and threaten to not include you in the project at the most crucial time. This is what i got on early saturday (DOOMSDAY). I was fuming MAD. Did not know anything until another group member of mine told me that one person in the group actually threaten to exclude me for the project.

I realised that people who like to put unneccessary stress onto themself by thinking they are superior, better, more knowledgeable etc. are actually putting themselves at risk for OVERHEATING. When they cannot get things done, they start complaining and telling everyone that so and so did not do anything... sigh. What else can i say? No choice but to be the target for him to shoot at. At the least i told myself that this is the last time im going to see him anyway, get the project over and done with. Im not going to fight with a person who thinks he is perfect. Tried to keep my cool and forget anything before entering the lecture hall. Everything turned out well. All was good, only the undenying fact that i was just being Plastic on the outside and deep in my heart, i want to hammer that fella so badly.

Finally the crucial part is over. I can soundly say that i have reached the last station of studying. Waited for this day for a loooong time... wonder whether will there be a ceremony held in singapore. If i had a wish, i would want all my buddies around me when i collect the certificate during the ceremony.

Another work day tomorrow. 0930-1800H. Here i come!

Work Day Wednesday

Rained so much these few days. Sometimes i begin to wonder if it is a sign sent from above about some global catastrophy that is going to happen. Lets hope not..

Trying hard to get used to working life. After years of twanging, slacking and late night sleeping, i guess it is going to take me some time before i get used to waking up at 0700H to go to work. Cannot wait for the weekend to come already. Today marks the 2nd day of training for me. People are nice and have been helpful. These people around me have been in the related industries for years. Although we are all in the same training class, to a certain extend i must say, a fricking greenhorn!

Some thoughts on working life: I am glad that finally i have gotten myself onto the track of building up career. Competition will be tough since there is no free meals in this world. As a 24yr old male stepping into the working life, I feel that many of the males i am working with now are much older than me. The nearest age gap i have met so far is 1yr but the mean age around is about 35yrs old. It is sometimes intimidating talking to someone older whom you know is someone equipped with many years of experience. The experience of working life is good except for waking up early :P

I am going to miss being able to go out till wee hours and meeting up with friends often.. Time to grow up, you are a working adult now..

Back in Business

Haven't been blogging for the longest time.. here goes..

So much has changed over the period of the last entree i made till today. I guess its a harsh reality of life that the society we all live in now, gives no pity or patience to anybody who chooses to slow down or take their time to do something about their own lifes. I was once in a chase, like everybody, persuing something which in my own views, is something of a milestone to mark a goal to prove to people supporting all these years that i am not a let down and to challenge myself rather than of a chase to proceed on to the next phase in life. I am talking about the chase of a paper qualification.

Now that i have finally taken a step into the working life, i realised that finding a job is not all about paper paper paper. It actually takes more than a paper. The misconception i had when i was in my younger days is that anyone without a high qualification will end up being a nobody but the somebodys out there, with a decent qualification IS a somebody in the society today, as long as the person is willing to work hard. It all voices down to the hard work and perseverance rather of the struggle to persue a paper where you do not even show the slightest intrest in. Sometimes, its an envy to me when i see people around me going through "the proper path" enjoying the "proper way of teaching and company" during their studies.. I have only myself to blame for not studying hard enough. Hee

During this while, i have made many new friends from different circles. Many of which have become personal friends not aquiantances. I learnt many lessons about improving the way of interacting with people. I had the chance to meet so many people where the amount of people i know before, actually doubled in just slightly over 2 years. It is better to be a listener than to be a person who gives comments. Speak only when you really feel that you should, silence is always golden. Singapore is so small.. I got bitten quite badly before because of some careless remarks about somebody that triggered a big hoo haa among 2 groups of friends. Everything is back on the right track now. The importance of friendship has once again showed me that new faces are easy to come by but true friendship is rare. It is through the times of ups and downs that pulls friendship so tight that no matter what happens, it will never break loose.

So much for now.. can go on and on and on but i'll stop for now...

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, getting older by the year., Im finally 23 now. Its scarry at times to think of what will be coming or happening in the next few years ahead. That will be a challenge i will be looking towards to tackle. Anyway, these are the things i have been doing over the month im missing..

18June-20June : Early Bday celebration with Dee at Tioman. Had lotsa fun there. Rented our own speedboat. Went Snookling, beautiful corals, good getaway after all the shit i went through recently. Life is slow and relaxed there. Trip wouldnt have been so nice without all my buddies's company man (Will post some pics when i get them) Now i cannot wait to go back there again!

28June : Celebrated Dee's and My Bdays an Fish and CO'. Had a whole Seafood platter to myself

29June : Went clubbing with Shaun, Dee and friends.

30June: My actual Birthday. Had dinner with a close friend then caught a show after that.

Thats a sum up of some of the major things i have been doing lately. I feel like changed person after the getaway. I really needed that...Life aint that fucked up anymore now.There is always a way to tackle a problem and a getaway is always a good choice! :)

Lock outside your room before..?

Ever got locked out of your room for most then half a day? Sounds weird eh..
Recently, we got a new maid.She accidentally locked the door of my room. I was locked out of my room from like 9pm till 1230pm the next day.I was so damn fustrated i couldnt even do a shit but just wait till the locksmith come the next day.I felt so helpless cos the spare keys were in my room.The screw drivers didnt seem to work at all.I didnt even have access to my clothes, hp charger(everyone else in my family doesnt use a nokia except me)...I had to actually make my way upstairs to my bro's room and sleep on the carpet for the night.How unlucky can i get? :X

Moral of the story : LEAVE A SPARE KEY SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE YOUR ROOM BEFORE YOU WILL END UP LIKE ME!!!
