Work Work...
Hey!!! Remember my last entry on the 18th when I said the company in which my aunty is working in requires a temp staff ? Yeah, I managed to get the job the very next day on the 19th. Yesterday was supposed to be my last day at work. However, the company decided to extend my contract till next wednesday and hopefully they will extend it again till the last week of my school holidays.
The job is actually pretty cool. It's basically admin and accounting stuff in the finance department. At first, I thought I was going to have a really hard time because I have never done anything like that before. Fortunately, I managed to pick up everything quickly and I really learnt a whole load of new stuff there. Hopefully, the experience gained here will help me in the future as well as enable to get a job easier when I looked for one in the holidays again. I enjoy this job more than any other so far. I mean it is much more relaxing compared to the rest I have done before and the pay is $7/hr instead of like $5 or $6. I really hope that I get to help out again at this company whenever I have my holidays. =] Also, I'll be going to Hong Kong on the 5th of October to the 8th of October for a short holiday. Yup, I'm excited about it and I can't wait till next Thursday. The bad thing is that I need to get my passport extended today as I won't be able to anytime next week. The immigration centre opens at 8am till 1pm on Saturdays. This means I have no other choice but to wake up early... I hate waking early on Saturdays and Sundays. L0L! Oh well, I don't have much of a choice really. I asked Pan Ge if he could give me a ride there, but his dad's using the car so he won't be able to. I'll have to take the MRT there then as there isn't any bus from my place to Lavender if I'm not wrong. I have searched the area around the hotel that I'll be staying in which is known as Royal Garden. It seems like a pretty good location as the shopping areas are pretty nearby. I heard from Qing Xiang that I should go to Temple Street, Ladies Street and Men Street. I need to do a whole lot of shopping there too and I have started coming up with a list of things to buy already. L0L! By the way, I'm going with my relatives and cousins. I didn't go to JB last Friday either as my friends cancelled it the day before. They postponed it to the upcoming Monday, but I don't think we will be going as nobody said anything about it. Anyway, I can't go already since I have to go to work and nobody said anything in advance. Oh well, hopefully I can really go to JB before school reopens to do some shopping there as well. Speaking of shopping, Marina Square is a cool place to get Quiksilver and Ripcurl stuff as they have outlets there. I saw it today as I was there for lunch. My IS Enrolment was on Wednesday and I chose French and Flash Application. I wasn't happy with the choices given as there wasn't any Spanish or Photography, the two that I really wanted to learn. So it's like E.V.S (E.V.S is an Aussie term for whatever) man. Hopefully I can do well in these 2 modules as there are grades and it isn't just a pass or a fail. I realised I already know 7 people in my French class so it is pretty cool. I know the lecturer teaching me Flash Application as he taught my class in Year 1 and everyone likes him. Speaking of class, my new class is 2B3 and I can't wait to get to know more people ! Jeremiah and I are still in the same class, however the rest aren't. 1 of my IS friend is also in my class. There's also another person I know, but I forgot his name. Oh well, we'll see when school reopens. Oh I really like this song that Supernova wrote and performed on the show. It's called "Be Yourself" and Lukas Rossi performed it when he was announced as the winner of Rockstar: Supernova. It has a really catchy chorus and the song goes something like this... Supernova - Be Yourself ================= Be Yourself And Not Somebody Else It May Take A Little Effort It May Take A Little Help But You can Figure It Out If Not, Just Do What Everybody Else Does Keep It On The Level Thats Where I'm Told To Keep It On That Level Thats Where I Was Told To Keep On Get In Trouble Keep On Get In Trouble Every Time On The Side Of The Road Heres Your HEY HEY HEY Heres Your HO HO HO I Dont Know Were Else To Go Theres A Really Fine Line Between Whats Yours And Whats Mine A Line That I Dont Want To Know You Know Im Sick Of Being Hauted By Every Cliche That I Know Whatever That Means Even If Your So Young You Havent Seen A Limosine Your Gonna One Day Just Rember Never Get In And Dont Give Up Cause People Are Gonna Care If You Just Stop Trying Accept Every Dare If You Can’t Seem To Make It Well Maybe Just Try Failure Keep It On The Level Thats Where I'm Told To Keep It On That Level Thats Where I Was Told To Keep On Get In Trouble Keep On Get In Trouble Every Time On The Side Of The Road Heres Your HEY HEY HEY Heres Your HO HO HO I Dont Know Were Else To Go Theres A Really Fine Line Between Whats Yours And Whats Mine A Line That I Dont Want To Know You Know Im Sick Of Being Hauted By Every Cliche That I Know Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Heres Your HEY HEY HEY Heres Your HO HO HO I Dont Know Were Else To Go Theres A Really Fine Line Between Whats Yours And Whats Mine A Line That I Dont Want To Know You Know Heres Your HEY HEY HEY Heres Your HO HO HO I Dont Know Were Else To Go Theres A Really Fine Line Between Whats Yours And Whats Mine A Line That I Dont Want To Know You Know Im Sick Of Being Hauted By Every Cliche That I Know ================= Yeah, go check that song out on youtube.com if you have the chance too. I'm going to sleep now as I have to wake up early again. So take care guys and I'll be seeing all of you really soon yea ? =] "It is best to do things systematically, since we are only human, and disorder is our worst enemy." - Hesiod

Karma Police.
Hey, check this song out by Radiohead. It's called "Karma Police" and it is a pretty old song, but I have been listening to it this few days and I really like it a lot. Anyway, time for me to update again...
I have yet to find a job and I have given up finding one actually. L0L! However, my aunty company needs a temp staff currently to do data entry and write cheques. So she is going to help me check if I can work there for awhile. L0L! If I'm unable to, then I won't continue to search for jobs already. I finally hooked up my Samsung home entertainment system in my room. (Not I actually, but my dad. L0L! =X) Anyway, the sound is real good and it felt like I was in the cinema when I watched Spiderman 2 yesterday. Yeah, it's really cool especially since I got it for free and it is a 5.1 set. The subwoofer is sleek and really looks like a CPU. L0L! Oh, I'll be going to JB on Friday just for a day. L0L! Hopefully I can get to do some shopping there. If all goes well, I'll be going with Farhanah, Gavin and Jeremiah. We have yet to ask Andrea and Dennis. L0L! Hopefully, they can come as well. I need to extend my passport as well as it expires on Feb 2007 and that is less than the 6 months required. Fei ge did ask me to go with him and his friend tomorrow, but I didn't know his friend. L0L! I shy la... it will feel very weird la... L0L! Sorry fei ge! =X Secondly, I have yet to extend my passport. L0L! Sorry~ My exam results came out not too long ago as well. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the sms early in the morning while I was still sleeping. L0L! I got 1 A+, 3 As and 1 B. I woke up and went online to check my GPA as the sms didn't write it. I managed to get a 3.78 ! =] Hopefully I can keep it up at that standard, so I'll be able to get into a Singapore University. I can't afford to go overseas or private because it is way too expensive. I have 3 more semesters to go. It seems so fast that I'm halfway through poly life already. A year and a half ago I was still getting to know my classmates and next semester we'll all be split up and I'll get to know new people. It's cool in a way to know that you're advancing, but at the same time it sucks to know your going to part ways from the people you spent with for 1.5 years. Hmmm... I haven't touched my Xbox in ages and I'm looking out for more games. There are some really nice titles out already, but I'm still waiting for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon to be out next month. I heard that it is the final installment of the Mortal Kombat series. I'm a hardcore Mortal Kombat fan since it was launched on the old school Nintendo. I even have the Laser Disc for Mortal Kombat 1 and 2. L0L! Yeah, I can't wait for it to be out! The bad news is that there are lesser games being produced for the Xbox since Xbox 360 came out. I just realised that there are people that do modification for the Xbox 360 and sell non-original games as well. I was quite surprised because I thought it couldn't be modded, but obviously these people have the skills to do what Bill Gates didn't want them to do. L0L! Anyway, I'm going to stop here for today. I'm going to check out the trailer for Spiderman 3 and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. So cya all some other time k ?

Interview ? Job ?
I didn't realise that I have not update my blog since the start of September. Anyway, here goes...
I have been looking for jobs since the start of this week. I went to apply online and through different agencies. The thing is that most of the jobs require me to commit for at least 2 months and I can't afford to because school reopens on the 16th of next month. Therefore, it has really been hard getting a job. However, on Friday I went for this telemarketing interview at Odean Towers. The interview went really cool and hopefully I'll get the job. The person said she'll call by early next week if I'm selected. I really hope I get selected for that job because the pay rocks! They are actually paying $9 per hour and I think I have a slight advantage because I've done telemarketing before. Furthermore, their telemarketing requires the telemarketers to update the company's database and I did all that before. Hopefully all goes well and I manage to get the job... else if (find another job < school reopens) { I will just have to continue searching for a job before school reopens on the 16th of next month. I'm currently looking at admin, telemarketing and packing jobs, so if any of you guys have any contact for me, do share it with me yea ? If I'm still unable to get a job by the end of next week... } else { I might just go on a holiday with fei ge. L0L! Destination is not confirmed yet. Most slightly it will be in Asia. Perhaps Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong or Bangkok. We'll see how it goes, but if I get the telemarketing job or managed to find another by the end of next week. Then, I might not have time to go overseas unless it is on the last week of the holidays. Oh well... I really want to have a long break, but at the same time I need to work for money. Life... Just gotta live it the way it is eh ? Ah Well... } I've been thinking of my future recently. I'm not sure what my future career would be like. I'm currently studying Electronic and Computer Engineering and I got into the Computer option. However, I'm thinking if that is really what I'll be doing in 5 years time ? After Poly, I'll have to go NS for about 2 years... and after that I have to see if I'm able to get into Singapore's University based on my poly results. If I'm able to should I go ? Or should I start to work first ? I'm pretty confused as to what I'm going to do. Pan ge asked me to set up a business with him, but I've got no business background. If I get into Uni, should I take a Business course ? Or continue on with Engineering ? My dad's an engineer too, so should I follow in his footsteps ? Well... I guess only time will tell right ? For now, I should enjoy my holidays while it last and make sure I put in more effort in my studies once school starts ! Anyway, I'm going to end my entry here today. Take care everyone! Cya soon and ermm... remind me to update if I'm not doing it often. L0L! Ciao! =] "The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone." - Henrik Ibsen |
