Job hunting

Jenga-ing one day before Wong-san の flight~

Had a really fun time Jenga-ing, was a brain teasing game and setting traps for your opponent. It proves that Sagis are really adventurous haha, we started off by leaving one tile left at the bottom most layer in our first 2 moves haha! It was a tie =). Lets Jenga again 20 days later ! :D




















After enjoying 6 stress free days, its time to settle down seriously to start looking for jobs. Met up with sw today to job hunt by starting off with a set of straits time. Was quite enthusiatic about the job advertistments at first but as we started calling, we realised that many companies aren't wiling to disclose basic informations like working hours, job scope and pay range.

They will need us to go for the interview before feeding us with these general information. And i'm not dilligent enough to travel all the way down to different areas just to gather such details, waste my time and $$, bus fare isn't cheap o.O. Its like doing investment without knowing the risk.

Headed down to town wanted to see if there's any job vacancies for some departmental stores, only to realised most are aunties or a non-chinese environment. We're like 2 lost ppl not knowing where to go, until tada, Andrew appeared, we met him after his interview also at Taka. Cannot deny that he's a really efficient person, at this stage when we're looking for jobs he's already having quite a jobs for him to choose from. Smart guy indeed.

He suggested that we go Recruit E to try our luck, due to my past bad experience with them, i went there reluctantly, but the agent that interviewed us was kinda friendly and was like some chatting session.

It was thru tt interview that i think i found my clone whaha. Andrew~ we had similar working experience, academic results and the job scope we're looking for is the same too (anti-admin). Haha, due to my greediness in terms of pay, he's at a much upper hand. And there might be a chance for us in getting an interesting job. Hope we'll be offered with it!

Only thing to do now is to wait and send a few more resumes and of course, enjoy my precious holidays ^^v.

*Counting down =)*

Labour day

2 singing sessions in 3 days, haha, went to orchard's party world to celebrate qw's belated birthday. Ages since i stepped into partyworld, i'm sure next time i will patronise them instead of kbox. It's great to meet up with poly friends, its like around 4 months since i last seen them i think. Looks like everyone is doing great, most are doing what they like =)

To cut cost, i didn't join the group for dinner, went to stroll alone, some quiet time alone, but i don't quite like the feeling, so zi bi. Haha~ Went to check out Art Friend, a nice DIY shop with lots of raw material to start with for creative gifts, a really nice place to shop, the items there are quite reasonable too.

On my way home, when taking train at JE int. everyone where rushing to grab those seats, including me, haha =x, i saw one family, they got a few seats and were smiling so happily, it just made me realise that sometimes we're too busy with our stuffs and failed to really appreciate whats happening around us, life can just be so simple and happy. Life is too short to frown all the time.

Good game now, Wong-san is flying off soon to his favourite Taiwan for 3 weeks, wad a good timing lol. Take great care dear :) *sings Sammi's song* Hehe.

One semester down ^^

*Jumps* Exams are over, at last! Like last semester, we went k-boxing again, with the same old faces, kind of unfair for those living far, they weren't able to join. Lets try to make it a point to go somewhere else for celebrations the next time round =).

Its the first day of the long 3 months break. Urge of going for a getaway is so strong now, was chatting with Victoria earlier on, talked about travelling and the highlight was on Australia, looks like i really need to get a job soon, in case, there's plan for a tour, i don't mind going on a cruise too, to beautiful beaches like Phuket. But most of the times these are just empty talks like the Genting and Taiwan trip whaha, interesting topic :). Well, its going to be a few busy days ahead, busy rotting =).


JURONG EAST ENTERTAINTMENT CENTRE'S K BOX
We went to JEC for k box yesterday night.The services was just terribly lousy, the staffs there have got attitude too, yucks! The most annoying part to it was that we had to make complains about the air condition several times with no actions taken, most of us were practically singing in sauna till Ms Mook Qian Wen went to complain infront of the manager, then we got to have a change of room. With the price paid and service i get, i've arrived to one conclusion, no more k box. Alright enough of the grumbling.

Of course, there were enjoyable moments too, thats when we filled the room with noise, opps i mean singings haha. On our way to the room, we spotted a couple, the gal just look so familiar, taking 2 steps back again, ah ha! Ms Tan Emi was caught in the act~ Lol. She's singing with her "Cao ge", really peifu him, an indo-chi that learns chinese on his own and noes how to sing cantonese, with gd voice. Haha, of course have to disturb her abit, cos they went to sing secretly without joining us. Next time got chance, must drag them to join us!


Sang lotsa songs, as usual the old classics~ Paid $28, and we left at 2 plus a.m. It was a miracle, i'm still feeling energetic when Qw and Qx were knocking off. Guess its because i din really study for my last paper. Hehe..

Lets all enjoy our super long holiday and grow richer (inside and our bank account). Return back to school as year 2 students!

2 more days =)

Here i am counting down again, 2 more days! Will be taking my last paper for a module that i've attended for less than 6 hours the whole semester. Goodness.. I dunno how i'm gg to vomit my mechanisms out that day. Maybe shall bring some crystals to set up a fengshui formation. Haha. Just hope that Prof will be kind enough like the first test. Anyway slaughtering us will not do him any good :s, i hope.

*Bless me*

How i wish ~

This is a random post, i've gt a sudden urge to go backpacking, travel to scenic places, checking out those ancient architectures, snapping all the beautiful stuffs. Always so fascinated by how ppl did buildings centuries ago with very little technology but with precise and accurate measurement. One of the most astonishing example is Pyramids. How did those eygptians climbed so high, creating a perfect pyramid..



This is so cool, but Eygpt gives me a creepy feeling, seems too mysterious. There are also other architectures thats worth looking into, shall read up on them after my exams =), but better not be another mathematical book. *Anti-Math*

How i wish i have the $ and time, to go touring. Guess this can only be a dream, cause, i'm too timid to backpack, ahaha, and i guess the bag itself is about the same size as me. Eww, i'm having a sudden urge to get a driving licensce, but again its $.

Lady luck, where are you??

2 down and 3 more to go! Freedom in another 9 days. I've spent days practising maths hoping that i could smile out of the exam hall. But it was a disappointment, the question that i prayed so hard that wouldn't come out came out, *faints*, was actually a risky gamble. And i've made so many careless mistakes. Oh well, this always happens in exams, my eyes will selectively ignore the power, and yeah, true enough, i've got a lazy eye :s.
Anyway, its over, couldn't say that hardwork won't get paid off, but its not a smart way of working hard for sure. More killer papers ahead of me, gotta be blessed with best of luck so that wadever i study comes out.

If only calculus is like this :x

Its Benkyo-time~

Had my Jap oral yest, it was a guilty and messed-up test. Guilty because, when i got there, checked the name list, found out that i'm the only one who haven't took it, guess i've wasted sensei's time :x.

Messed up cos i'm nt well prepared, he asked me my country and i wasn't familiar with that phrase, it took me sometime to give an answer. Ended up saying that I am Singapore. Eww... And this Q sort of made me nervous, and my subsequent answers aren't really good.

Well, though the oral test i din do well, but it was an enjoyable test session, first time not feeling nervous when gg for oral, haha. Japanese have gt something special, dunno y i feel calm and peaceful when speaking to them. Like one of a Jap lady office i peeped into, its a perfect environment for meditation. But i think its only for Japs of this generation, *eyes roll*


Sensei, sha shin o torimasenka.
Teacher : i i desu ne (dun sound really i i desu though, haha), torimashou.


Me, Sensei, Ben and Shirley
Missing ppl : Andrew, Qianwen, Qiong Xia and doraemons


Exams period now.. when time is the limiting factor and not fuel :s, peeps, lets all jiayou, Good Luck to all and even more Good Luck to me =x.. Haha.
