Been a long while since i last posted something.. My last attempt is still saved as a draft among the many posts which i have manage to churn out in the past months. Due to this reason i have yet to thank all my dearest frenz who took their time out and graced my birthday party... so here goes... Thank you guys! I had great fun and hope you guys enjoyed urself too!
My life has been great, i sort of got head-hunted into my current company, "sort of" is used because despite the similarities like the other hunted one is also human and has been invited to join a certain company, i get a meagre pay in comparison to that other being who gets hunted.
About the job, thankfully i'm adapting well and to some extend, enjoying my work too! This company is very different from most companies i know and i must admit there was some form of culture shock when i first started work.
Culture shock 1 - starting work at 10 - 11 am and having lunch at 12.30pm.. The working hours is soooo FLEXIBLE and its especially suitable for people like me with great time management skills. *kekez*
Culture shock 2 - tea break at 4 pm.. or any other when you feel lethargic and need some caffeine to boost your mental strength...
Interesting..

Interview...
In life its always weird how sometimes when you want something really badly you end up not doing very well for it and trash all chances of getting it. And then again sometimes if you went ahead with something only because you have already committed to it, the result could turn out to have a good outcome.
Recently i went for an interview with SIA. With not much enthusiam but with God's blessings i made it pass the first two rounds, one mass interview with 9 other girls and another personal interview with an uncle who asked me to tell him more about myself.
I got selected, I felt real lucky that i was one of the two people selected for round two, out of the nine others who was being interviewed together. In the first round, we all had to talk on a topic given to us which is "Where is the one place you would very much like to visit", the girls were all very eloquent and well-read naming all the different places they wanna go in the country which they have chosen and i am so totally impressed. For me, i was stumped and instead of choosing a place, i said everywhere would be fine as long as its out of Singapore shoreline and that it seemed, worked well with the interviewers (it can only be luck!).
The style of interview was a new experience for me. I feel i did better than what i expected of myself, talking about myself to 11 others whom i just met, thankfully i didnt blank out but yet still manage to make sense of the words that was running inside my head at that point of time. Now that the whole interview is over and i made it... i'm wondering, what is it they look for in the applicants...
That was briefly how my interview went and now for the best bit of the interview.....
I mis-read the arranged date for third interview and the various test and so you should be able to guess what happens after... (",)
Oh well... :)

Time flies...
Its scary how the time moves at the most amazing speed. It feels as if i've just posted my latest blog yesterday but in fact my last update was made a week ago.
This week seemed to have zoomed past, without me noticing.
Met up with my poly mates Alex, Benjamin, Junhong, Lily, Zane and Zizi.
It was really nice, i think its my second time meeting them since we graduated in June 2004. I thoroughly enjoyed myself with them, it feels great crapping around and laughing at each others' silly jokes. After so long...
Alex was unusally quiet that night, he seemed like a changed man - even his favourite topic "SEX" didn't seem to make perk up..
Benjamin is our very own Singapore Poly Slyvester - Haha.
Junhong as usual, seemed very far away and always having views very different from us. Entertaining us quite abit with his abstract ideas and highly complicated ideas.
Lily as usual was the groups chatterbox, no gathering would be lively without her loud jokes.
Zizi changed alot. She looks chio'er now. Aussie water must be better.
Zane joined us later after work. I think she slimmed down a little bit.
Will post up the pics as soon as i get it. It has been really fun. I love those guys and those great years in poly. It really hard to get everyone out these days, but i'm glad the few of us made the effort to meet up.
Really looking forward to next meeting, which i hope is soon!

Another week gone by...
Week two of my non studying days.
Getting really bored of stoning myself at home. Thank god the weekend was pretty fruitful.
My friday was spent with Irene, Jin Ping and Szehan. It was fun with Renes singing her renditions of yanzi songs. Jin Ping doing renditions of JiJi, Jacky and Andy songs and Hanz doing renditions of everybody songs.
After the session we went shopping for Goose (korean star lookalike) bird-day present. A crumpler bag costing $149 - i never knew crumplers were so expensive but luckily its shared among 8 of us =D.
Seems like I'm gonna be very broke in the first quarter of year with everyone's bird-day round the corner.. but since its for friends - its worth it! *sheehz*
Saturday was spent at Prisca's 21st birthday celebration - the fourth person for month of january with 2 more still on the way. Anyway the party was nice, with good food and free flow of alcohol. The highlight for the night, other than Prisca's cut cake session - would be the chit chat Jo and Mich.
Jo came up with a really ideal suggestion of chilling out at each other's house every friday when we own a place of our own in the coming future. Well babes, lets do make that happen for real!
Sunday was the best! I went to the first ever soccer match of my life. Singapore vs Indonesia - Singapore won!
The match was simply amazing, action packed full of adrenaline rush. Singapore made several impressive attacks that literally had me sitting on the edge of the wooden planks. Though they didn't manage to score, it was still a great display of skills and teamwork, all that for a mere seven bucks was so totally worth it!
The stadium - full capacity with sea of red supporters; rounds after rounds of Kallang waves
The Singapore Fans (including me) - exhilarated, euphoric and energetic!
The Indonesian Fans - only one-eighth of the entire stadium
The referees - KAYU and BUTOH (not sure what it means but everyone was shouting that when he gave Singaporean players yellow/red card)
The Singpore players - skilful, dedicated and POWERFUL! Lionel Lewis rocks!
The Indonesian players - skilful and rough play *frown*
Good game... good game... good game

Growing up..
The pain that growing up brings.
Is something sometimes i wished i never had to experience.
How i wish, the tears i now shed is because my mum does not allow me to have the candy on the table. The tears will dry and my in less than an hour my kiddy brain will forget that the incident ever happen.
But alas, growing up means shedding tears which never stops flowing for all the stupid reasons which i too am trying to make sense of.
