Finally i've started work ysterday. It's been two days since i started work as a bank assistant in UOB Pte Ltd. wow..some may think that bank assistant is a position whereby one work in a bank, behind the counter, doing some admin stuff. Er, instead of working in the bank, i'm working at UOB bank office - credit/debit card department. The position 'bank assistant' - some may think that it's tough whereas some may think that's it a slack job. Well, to me, it's a mixture of both i would say. I won't say it's tough, cos it's not tough at all. Doing paperwork, photocopying documents, sorting them out and etc..how tough can that be. The only tough part is sitting on the chair for hours, that make my back and neck ache. Other than that, it's not even tough at all. Just boring i would say. Everyday doing the same thing. Well, still, i'm fine with it. It's not really a slacking job as i'm basically working all along and resting only during lunch time. What makes my working mood better is the collegues that i just knew. They were friendly and very easy-going. I've yet to know alot of people and hope i'll have the chance - cos there are alot of females around and nice to make friends right? (got motive one!! Wahaha). In case you haven't know, in my department, there's only two guys. One is my supervisor, another one is me..The rest are all girls. Cool! Wahaha..

Well,, can expect that as bank is usually/ most of the time a female working environment. Nevertheless, i really enjoyed working there day by day. I'm being put under two female. Both are older than me i think. One mature and pretty looking, whereas the other cute and innocent looking. It's funny being able to work with them. Although they didn't give me any stress, i do pressurize myself. As i'm new to suck job, i tried to do things right, sometimes, i still do make mistakes. But they do not mind at all, that make me feel more bad.

In weeks to come, i think i'll get the hang of it. It's the 1st time i work in an office and have my own working desk. I'm going to decorate my working desk, make it feel more like my own. Like that, i'll have a better mood when working. This office that i'm working in isn't that strict. Employees are allowed to wear casual smart attire. Food can be consumed in the office but of cos u can't be eating all the time. I get unlimited flow of drinks too but i don't drink much cos consuming sweet drinks too much isn't good to your body too.

I'm afraid when the contract is up, i might not be ablt to continue. By then, i think i'll develop some kind of relationship with my collegues. They are really great people, even some i haven't know them yet, i can tell from the way they work and talk. Hm..i just can't wait to know more of them..

Later there's going to be champion league match. Hope i have enough of sleep later and wake up. Hmm..hopefully i won't be yawning my way through tml's work.

Wednesday

Hasn't been updating my blog regularly despite me still being so free. If u did read my previous post, u would have known that i went for the interview. I received a call from the agent informing me that i got shortlisted. I was over the clouds when i heard that. Can't wait to tell the news to my mum, and poor Don who was waiting for me at Funan IT Mall because i was following someone whom i know to a place where she say there's job opportunities. Well, stupid stuff aren't really worth mentioning but i still wanna say. I realised how stupid i am upon entering the company. The so called 1.5 million makeover company seems no different from any others. As the person brought me through the place, i realised it to be some sort of marketing company. Haiz..they even drag me to listen to a talk, but luckily, i managed to break free of that dumb place.

Rushed to Don and told him the news..as time pass, the fear in me grew. I'm afraid i couldn't meet the company expectations. The company is called United Overseas Bank (UOB). A big company needless to say. Just by the interview, i could see it's a totally new kind of job for me. One that i've never been to work before. Everyone was wearing so formal, it makes it stressful for me as i scared if i didn't do the job well, i'll be like so 'extra', they'll be hiring a useless bum. That apart, i'll try do my job well.

Went to watch 'Dorm' with Don. It was a Thailand horror show. Watching the show certainly bring some comfort to my mixed feelings at that point of time. The show brought out feelings. It makes me feel for the boy. I won't classified this movie under horror as
it's all about a boy leaving his home to stay in a dorm. There he found a friend after which he realised is a ghost. He went miles to help his friend reborn as he could see his suffering for re-enacting the whole scene of how his friend died. He helped to the extent of even daring to sacrifricing his life. A rather touching movie i would say. How many of us could actually do that..it's difficult a choice. I give this movie a perfect 5.

After movie, it's down to MOS - Candy Floss Retro. I and Don went in near 10pm. Inside, there's nothing much. Everything has not started yet. So, we walked around and enjoy the music while waiting for more people to come in. There's this friendly female waiter who attended to us. Chatted with her and has a good impression of her. Her smile and charm just simply lives in my mind. Wahaha..maybe someday i go back there, i'll go look for her again. Candy floss retro was simply shiok. I and Don simply enjoyed ourselves. After that day, we realised the best time to go MOS on wednesday is at 12am. That's when people starts to fill the dance floor and simply dance! The best part of that night was around 1:30am. Rocky music started flooding the main arena and i and Don out of the suddenly, got high and dance. It's as if we were under drugs. The music change near 3am and aww, we was kinda disappointed. Not long after, the music starts to get more and more sucky.

Thursday

Went with Don to the job agency to sign the contract. I'm told to start work only on monday. What a relief. Phew..haa..and so, i went with Don to GuanYin Temple and i prayed there. To repay the god for getting me a job. Actually we planned to do lotsa things on that day, but we headed home instead and mapled!

Friday

I went to meet Don early to collect his new passport. Then we proceed to buy the ingredients as both of us will be cooking later in the evening. After buying all the ingredients, we headed to his house put the stuff and went to another shopping centre to get summore ingredient and food for our supper. Wahaha..what big eaters we are. After which we head back to his house again and relax and chill. Finally, it's time to cook

We started off by mixing ingredient for the chicken. We cooked two dishes that evening - Penang Char Kway Tiao and Shrimp Paste Chicken. We made lotsa blunders that evening. But it's only blunders that we learned and become better..isn't it? And so, we started mixing the ingredients then Don went to marinate the chicken with it. So while waiting, we intend to cook the Penang Char Kway Tiao 1st. I have to pound the chilli which i hate it..haa! Then we started to cook. When we need the Kway Tiao, we realised that we forgot to bring it out the fridge. Wahaha...the kway tiao was so hard that i have to soak it a while in the water before putting it all onto the wok. And finally, it's done. We did a little tasting and declare that dish a SUCCESS! Next up, the chickens. We wondered how come there's so much water on the pot that we marinate the chickens only to realised that i forgot to drain away the water i used to watch the chickens. OHOHOH! Big Big BLUNDER. Wahaha..still, we went ahead with it and fried the chicken. Oil was splattering all around..making the whole floor oily. One by one, the chickens was dished onto the plates and we had the 1st bite. This time round, we declared it a SUCCESS too. Hooray, we are potential Chef. Cooking is really lotsa fun and how i wished those times don't end.

After eating, we played some games and it's supper time. We ate, chilli Tuna with Bread, Duck porridge, curry puff and leftover chicken from dinnertime. Full til we can't moved, not long after we finish our supper, we felt sleepy..zzzz

Saturday

Nothing much on this day. Attended my friend's performance at Phunk Bar. Lotsa noisy bands around, why noisy because the vocalist were mostly screaming out rubbish as i couldn't hear a word they 'sang'. My friend's band wasn't too bad.

As there's nothing much, we left and headed home. Swat 4 and maple abit then sleep...

Today

Went to meet up Jon and Don for lunch. Then headed to Bukit Batok to buy Jon's contact lens. Head back home and maple. Yay..i finally levelled up. Hmm..can't wait for 3rd job. I think once i start working, it'll be more difficult for me to level up as the time spend to play will be much lesser.

Tml i'll be starting work already. Feeling very mixed and messy now. Hopefully, tml will turn out to be fine. I have to re-adjust my sleeping hours. Usually, i'll be sleeping like around 4am, now, i'll have to sleep at around 12am to get ample sleep. Waking up at 7am is never easy for me. I'm so afraid i wouldn't be able to wake up because it's been so long since i wake up so early. Hopefully, i'll be able to wake up.

Wednesday, March 22, 2006

Today kick off with me waking up especially early. At least it's considered early to me. 9 plus am and i'm already awake..rare to find me awake at this hour as i would and should be sleeping like a pig. Today woke up especially early, just to wake from a call from my agent. I'm supposed to go for an interview today and so i purposely woke up early to wait for her to gimme the details. And yea, she finally called after much wait.

Gave me the details and i met Don up. He's accompanying me to the interview and we were planning to play pool too. Had lunch before setting off to Toa Payah HDB hub. I was wondering, if i really worked there, will it be a long trip from home to work and work to home. Check the information chart and it says that from Choa Chu Kang to Toa Payoh will take u ard 38mins excluding waiting time. Which turns out to be quite accurate. Well, if i really get shortlisted and work that, it isn't that bad anyway ( i was thinkin to myself then ).

And so, i reached there early than expected. The interview is suppose to be 2:30pm but i intend to go there earlier as it's always better to be early, especially interview! The HDB hub has lots of lift lobbies. Making me blur. Took two lift wrongly, went to wrong floor. Ask around before finally found the place. That agenet gave me the details, it says 25th storey. When i reach 25th storey, the whole place is like so sercured. It has a tainted glass panel and a telephone by the side with the glass panals door locked! One female suddenly opened the door from inside and told me the interview who's suppose to interview me is on the 18th storey and not 25th storey. ARGH!! Make a wasted trip to 25th storey. And so, i took back the lift and make my way to the 18th storey.

Reached 18th storey. Went in and ask for the interviewer. He came out, dressed formally with tie and look totally a office guy. Luckily, i dressed myself in formal too, well, not as formal as him. He shook my hand and so, we proceed to a room and start the interview. This is the 1st time i attend such a formal interview. He started off by asking me to introduce myself. And so, i introduce myself. Saying out my education, current status, strength and weaknessess. Right after i finishing talking, he starting asking questions. Without any preparation, i just spit out whatever i could think of. Somehow, the usual crappy me, seems to have a fliter in my brain at the point of time. I could think before i say. I realised that i really have to think before i talked. Any mistakes will caused a bad impression. Then he went out to ask me about my experiences. He then tell my about the job scope and expectations. It seems a different kind of job to me and not really what i expected. But i would really love to have it. Somehow, from the way he interview me, i realised that he needs someone who is experience is such field as in those who has experience in admin work. Although he mentioned that he admired my attitude towards work which i crapped abit about, but the impression he gave me is that he would rather choose those that has more experience.

He also asked questions like, " what makes u stand out from other candidates for this job." Totally unexpected, i mentioned about my strength and again crapped abit. I realised that in interviews, if u are just talking about yourself, u might drag yourself into a dangerous sea. Crapping abit will do you good as it somehow creates that kinda of impression that might makes u stand out.

After done with the interview, again, they say they will contact me if i'm shortlisted. So, i'll considered that as a disappointment 1st. Went with Don to town to play pool. again, he's the ultimate winner but luckily this tiem round, there's no punishment. Wahaha..i brought him to a desert shop to have desert. He ordered mango sago whereas i ordered seasame paste with Ah Boling. In case u are wondering what Ah Boling is, it's called Tang(1) Yuan(2) in chinese. And shit. I regretted ordering it. Seeing Don eating the mango sago which is COLD, i regretted ordering something hot. And in no time, he finished up his bowl of desert and while i'm still slowly eating my sesame paste, i starts to feel abit sian. The sesame paste smells so nice when it was 1st served onto the table right in front of me and as i eat, it gets more and more yucky. But the Ah Boling saves me. It's always so damn nice for me to eat that. Yummy, after finish all the Ah Boling on that bowl, it's left with the sesame paste. It taste so weird to me now so much so that it look as if i can never finish it up. Every mouth i take, i feel something terrible down my throat and at last, i couldn't take it. I feel like vomiting. So, we left the place and i bought an ice cold winder melon drink and it manages to prevent me from puking.

By the time i reached home, i started to have a slight headache and by 10pm, it was so pain that i could feel something vibrating in my head. It's as if my whole head wanted to burst. I really feel like banging my head on the wall at that point of time. I actually wanted to continue staying online as i wanted to play maple with Don. But it was so pain that i decided to have a short 'nap' 1st. So i slept for around 2 hours plus and woke up. By then, my head wasn't even pain. Sleeping cures my headache. Wahaha..who says i need Panadol! Saw Don online and he complained that he died two times in maple.

Well, starting off at level 51 isn't easy. Cos by level 51, the degree of the game would by far be more difficult as the monster u handle is different from when u are level 20,30 etc..So it's natural that Don's not used to it yet. But i think that he's starting to get the hang of it. But just now as we played, there this idiot then ks us. Level 74 and so he went around ks-ing us. She even go to the extent to calling his friend and gave Don a mass defame. Afterwhich, they proceed with childish acts like scolding our parents, saying us dogs. And of cos, NOT being childish, we ignored them. How can one be so childish and i mean, it's just a game. Do one have to go to the extent of being so lame. Haiz, but who cares, they can scold all they want, I and Don just wanna enjoy the game. Finally, after much playing, Don's starting to get the hang of it and hopefully, he'll levelled up soon.

Recently, i hasn't been contacting in touch with sis. I know she has common test this week. Jia you and don't give yourself too much stress. Stay positive and good luck for all your tests.

Well, this is by far one of the longest post i've ever posted, if not the longest post. Haha..i'll change my blogskin soon..Tired of it already..stay tuned!

I have to say something. It isn't lazy of me to blog..it's just that i'm simply moodless and don't have the mood to blog..I'm feeling troubled enough as to not being able to find a job. I've tried for weeks, coming to a month. Haiz..it's the disappointment that gets me feeling so troubled. And from time to time, i get disappointment because i pin too much hope each time i receive calls from my friends and from employers, asking me to go interview. But after each and every interview, i would end up feeling more disappointed. Those employers will always say, "i will give you a call if u are being shortlisted."

After that sentence, i'll never hear from them again. Dumb system CMPB has. Why can't they allocated everyone according to their PES status and give each and every enlistees their enlistment dates. At least it would be fairer. Argh, now i'm still in a 'unknown' state whereby i don't even know when i get enlosted. Damn frustrating. Difference from June and October is full 4 months. That's like SOOOO many months! I can earn lotsa money. Argh..now i'm stuck with completetely no jobs.

Today i was brought to the same job agency that i visited weeks ago by Yang Bing. Had i known he would bring me to this job agency, i would have rejected him. From actually having an interview to having none of the job opportunities at all bring my morale down. Argh...sux man.

Just now i received a call some a female who was speaking so fast then i forgot to ask her where's she from. Now i can only be left dangling down there, waiting for her call. Hopefully i can get her call tml, as she said she will. I WANNA WORK!!

Yay..Aqua road in maple is open. Finally i'm in! I manage to hunt my set of tubes and i got 3/4 tubes for my sister already. Hehe..But Aqua Road is kinda boring. The style of fighting in the map is difficult because it's in the water, i have to constantly float in the water while fighting, which makes it difficult for me to kill those monsters. Nevertheless, i've mastered the art of fighting in Aqua Road. So if u are having difficulties, let me know..hehe..

Finally, Don's playing Maple. Wahaha..actually wanted to sell my level 50 suit to earn some mesos but since he's playing, i shall give him those stuff and earn mesos myself. Meanwhile, i shall pray that that girl who called me earlier on would call me back soon..

*PRAY*

Tuesday, March 14, 2006

ARGH! Today was different from all other normal holidays. Well, my so called 'holidays'. Today actually intended to go for severals interviews and job application. But in the end, we went for only one. We went to a Job Agency called KELLY SERVICES. It seems a place which is very professional. That highly boost my thinking that i'll get a job here. Introduction by a friend also mentioned that this job agency is good. But it don't turned out to be so. It's so sucky man. They only have A JOB available and it's a contract job. OMg, how am i ever able to go into a CONTRACT job. I called the MINDEF and they can't even give me an answer on when can i get enlisted. My friends mentioned to me before how slow people in CMPB and MINDEF are..today, i hear it for myself..the guy talking to me on the phone is just repreating what the operator is talking. What's the difference of telling me when that dumb operator has already told me, obviously one would have called this line and heard the operator before calling the guy. Oh..how dumb can one be..

Haiz..disappointed and frustrating. Went to this foodcourt to eat..had to walk quite a distance just to find something cheap to fill our stomachs (it's not easy to survive when u don't have an income). After that, we went to Jurong West Library. Eh guys, it's a new library.u guys should check it out..well, it's not the nicest library as compared to the one in Jurong East and the new National Library, but it's certainly a good place for studying. Borrowed a book on Photoshop. Sudden;y, i have a craving for design. I personally feel that designing and ooze out all your creative juices, making u a better thinking person. Flow with what ur mind thinks and i suppose it's an achievement to design something and get comments that are positive and negative.

I was shocked to hear Matt called just before we wanted to left home. He's at Jurong West Library too..i was shocked only to find out it was Muz who asked him to come. Good timing and lucky Matt, later by a few mintues and we are going to HOME SWEET HOME. Matt suggested jamming. WOOT! It's something i haven't done for months, almost coming to a year (in this case, what i mean by jamming is 'rocking' in a proper jamming room, with everyone fully in the band). Shiok, this time round, it was special. It's the 1st time we jammed like this. One started off any thune/chords and other instruments will play accordingly. In the end, we created quite a few song by ourselves and it did actually sounds quite nice too. As always, one hour will be up so soon before we know it. Jamming is never enough but as far as money is concerned, we can only limit ourselves to an hour of fun.

Went home with a heavy heart. Finally, got a precious call from Jon, saying that there's a job for me. Hm..i'm going to try my luck tml..hopefully i'll get it. Yang Bing also says he has got a job for me..ARGH! I simply just can't wait to work.

Don said something to me. Treat this period of time like a holiday. Enjoy it. Having a job will be a bonus. But how can i enjoy without income. I won't have anything to eat. I'll just die at home, munching on bread and buscuits. How sucky man! So no matter what, i'm going to try til i get a job.

Saturday, March 11, 2006

Woot..almost one week since i last blogged. Hmm...let's recap an overview of what i've done since Sunday til now..Yawn..

Went for Chan Min's 21st Birthday Party. It was very nicely done. Held at Aloha Loyang, the place is spacious. Alot of people were present at her party. Quite alot are her female classmates..pretty and cute..wahaha..but as always, we guys only have the share of admiring from far..So far this year, i've been to quite a few 21st birthday parties. Hmm..ever since i knew The Billiard House has closed down, i have been troubling as to where should i hold my 21st birthday party. It's going to be the 1st time i hold a party and maybe the last, so i was intending to make it a unique one. But unique means difficult as in Singapore, it's hard to hold a party at a 'Unique' place. Nevertheless, i will still try finding. Hm..i've still got a few more months to think about that..slowly..

This week has been boring. Looking for jobs, blah blah blah...Now i fully understand how difficult it is to find a job. There are so many factors to consider. Location, pay, interest, job scope etc etc..All this makes looking a job far more difficult. U can buy weeks of Straits Times and look under JobsAds and not getting a single Job interview and i mean INTERVIEW only.! Kaoz..Doesn't it sux..I'll still continue finding..i really wished a job would come my way soon..

As usual, i'm still indulging myself in 'korean love'. I;ve been renting and downloading Korean Movie like never before. I guess i can watch tons of such movie and go crazy about it. Hmm...someday, i would really wished to know a korean girl, learn their culture, their tone of language, cook korean dish..Argh...might as well be a korean right..wahaha..

I just come back from this chinese god thingy. Have to look after the place as i promised my relative..it's super bored just now but i still have to do it. Now i'm feeling super tired. Today i finally levelled up (i mean maple). I just can't wait for get to 3rd job..Yawn, i better get going..my bed's calling me

Saturday, March 04, 2006

Woot! My last day of school has ended. How time flies..it's 3 years in a blink..although poly school life ain't really that fantastic, but i've really made some really good friends and had quite a few good moments in sch..Luckily, this time round, i don't have to get interviewed by lecturers. Getting interviewed by lecturers is not something good. The day we had to take back our portfolios and stuff, we will at the same time, show fear on our faces, fearing that our name will be shown on the list where it shows who are the people needed to be interviewed. It simply just means u might not be able to pass this year, that's why the lecturers has this interview thing going on.

I'm simply glad not to see my name appear there..phew..i heard from my own class tutor that if one is not able to pass this year, he/she won't even get the chance to repeat the year. He/She will be out of course right away. How cruel can that be?!?! U go through 3 full years, only to end up with nothing, not even a chance..i'm really thanking god for this chance..wahaha..

Yesterday went looking for job through job agency. Haiz, hard to find a job now..harder to find one that suits u. Really don't know where to start looking for job. Anyone know of any job agency? Can intro me?

Wednesday, March 01, 2006

Alright man!! Yesterday was officially the last day of school. My final assignment was handed in. All i have to do now is pray and wait for my results to be out. This week seems rather empty, i'm totally slacking at home. Now, i shall watch all the vcds i rented and played all the games i bought. It's time, of cos meanwhile, i'll still be looking for job. Hopefully, i can manage to get one.

I want to watch Final Destination 3!!!!!!!!! Wahaha..have been looking for pple to watch with me, but either some are working, in camp, not free or no money..I don't want to miss movie just like that..like how i miss I Not Stupid Too..That's it..i will call upon whoever is reading this, ask me out for movie..FAST!! I'll be waiting..
