i'm sure you muz be wondering how my interview went... well let's juz say that it was quite a torture.... i went for 2 interviews today.... the first one went surprisingly well.... i was with 2 other guys in the room and the lady juz interviewed us one by one..... one of the guys is a degree holder by the way..... at the end of the interview which took bout 30 mins, she asked me to stay back as the rest went off.. she then told me that i've been shortlisted for the 2nd round of interviews and wanted me to come back at 3 for it.... so i dutifully came back at 3 not knowing the torture that i was about to go through..... i did say that the first interview was quite ok... well i guess that was juz the calm before the storm.... haha....
there were 6 of us.... 3 guys and 3 girls.... the first thing that we did was to watch a video of the company.... it was pretty much a bore.... and it didn't help that i juz had a heavy lunch (stupid rizal!)... i was fighting to keep my eyes open throughout the video.... after the video ended, the guys and girls were separated into different rooms (damn!) for the interview.... my group was interviewed by the big boss, the managing director..... nice.... i think i was the guy with the least experience and lowest qualification.... one was a degree holder and the other had a few years of working experience..... cool.... the first thing that he made us do was to do a presentation on different types of commercial products and plans.... i was given some charity organisation that needed funds...... he made us present to him as to how we would present the product to the customer.... to be honest, that was not a problem as i had done this many times..... it was the things that we did after that.... he asked us so many questions and made us do so many mini "projects" that i thought i was gonna die....
after the interview ended, i looked at my watch and realised that it was already 5.45.... woah... i juz had an interview that lasted bout 2 and a half hours..... 2 and a half hours in a room with the MD.... i still cannot believe that i manage to go through that.... damn, poly never prepared me for anything like that..... haha... anyways, they said they will call me if i'm selected over the next few days..... but somehow i'm not really hopeful.... don feel that confident..... oh wells, it was a learning experience.... that's something i have never learnt from poly... heh....
oh yea, akil did a performance at the esplanade by the waterfront last fri.... it was way cool.... haha... i finally got to see him perform.... eh man, i'm still waiting for the day you get your grammys... hah... cheers peeps!
the cool dude

the travel plans are off..... feeling damn disappointed..... waited for so long and this is the result.... thanks alot guys.....
anyways, i finally got called up for an interview tmr.... its for an advertising and marketing company.... yea, i know you guys muz probably be asking why i applied for this job since its not related to my diploma.... true, its TOTALLY not related to my dip.... haha.... i guess i juz want to try other things.... ok ok.... the honest truth is that i'm not exactly interested in engineering anymore.... cannot imagine myself working like that..... so why did i study the course in the first place? well, let me think for a moment so i can come up with a reasonable excuse.... hmmm.... i admit, i might have made a mistake in choosing my course.... i remember i had juz quit jc, and that day was the last day of the appeals for poly.... my mind was in a total disarray.... there were so many choices, i didn't know what to choose.... and so i did what anybody else would do.... i called up my uncle who had studied in nyp before (shouldn't have done that)..... he had studied my course before and so he recommended it to me.... and i applied for it... the rest is history.... i'm not blaming him, its not his fault, i'm juz blaming myself for not doing any research on the courses in the polys before i went down to apply considering that i had so much time playing (yes, you heard me right) in jc during the time i was there..... oh wells, what's done is done.... its time to look forward now.... and the next important thing is the interview tmr.... damn.... feeling quite nervous actually..... i guess i'll get in when i'll get in.... haha.... cheers peeps!

was cooped up at home for the past week.... all because i was down with high fever... it juz wouldn't go down.... initially, i didn't want to see the doctor but was forced to in the end by my parents... juz like a kid.... haha... they were worried that i was infected with the dengue virus considering the dengue situation is on the rise.... well, i'm fine now =)
i think most of you must be wondering, why am i still not looking for a permanent job yet. well, simply because i'm juz plain lazy. haha... juz kidding.... actually the reason that i've not taken up any perm jobs yet is simply because i'm still waiting for my other 4 buddies to finish their ns "careers" so that we can finally go on a post ns overseas trip that we've all talked about ever since we started serving our great nation.... and no, i'm not talking bout tekong here.... where exactly are we going? well, we've discussed that millions of times and the names of the places have been varied.... from the oil rich nation of the Emirates, not the arsenal stadium or the airline but the UAE, to the great continent of Australia..... hundreds of places have cropped up at some point in our discussion.... but in the end, we manage to come to the agreement that we were to visit the wonderful city of taipei.... but now, even that agreement seems to be in jeopardy.... there are some problems with the arrangements and it seems it may not be taipei at all.... hmmm.... heck, i don even know if we are still going for a trip damn it..... so guys, i seriously hope you guys can finally give me a confirmation soon.... i think i'm going crazy not doing anything at all.... not to mention that i'm going broke soon too... oh wells...
then again, all that i've blabbered on top may juz be fictional makings of my brilliant mind trying to come up with excuses of my worthless existence.... or maybe, juz maybe.... i'm juz plain lazy =) cheers peeps, whoever you may be....
