last fri i was damn god happy!!!

I received a call from Merrill Lynch asking me to go interview on 18th sept tue for the position as a futures Operation!! I was then stressfully preparing for my interview starting sat, sun n mon!! it was the first time i did such detailed preparation n i practised n practised!!!

Read a lot on Futures stuffs n on the company n i was like missing out on my sleep just to prepare for it. i remembered myself jumping out from my bed in the middle of my sleep on mon morning at 9am n i get up to prepare again leh... woah!!! stress stress time for me...

I was super determined to get into ML!!!

Finally came tue n i went to harbourfront for the interview. reached there at 1045am n i was too early n got to wait there near the receptionist. the receptionist was quite pretty as jaron has told me... heehee!! but i was not really taking much notice of her as i was still super stress over this interview... but i was like quite "disturbed" by her 'dia' voice as i sat there waiting for my interview. Woah!! cannot take it... mayb tt y she is the receptionist. oh her name was merlinda as i overheard it... hahah!! wat was i doing n thinking then man... hahah!!

so my interview started with the hr from ML... but i dun like the lady cos she was very sarcastic with her words saying something like "this is just a contract job n if u had any offer then u no need to wait for our reply. u could just take up the job n get on with ur life" something like tt...

wow cow! makes me feel like leaving the interview lor!!

then i had my 2nd interview with my direct boss-to-be after which. he is an indian n i felt he is really a nice guy!! but u cannot be sure when u start working together... this interview was much better n i felt welcomed!! n b4 we ended the interview... my boss also asked me, "so when r u able to start work?" woah!!!!!!!!!!! i was thinking to myself like, "does it means i got a chance to work here already???" i replied tt i could start anytime n he only asked me to wait for the reply from the hr

On the whole its a very gd interview with my BOSS! lets pray tt i get in to ML!!!! its a great company to start with!!

hahah!! u all know something?? i quit my job in 3 days time!!! fast n clean cut hor?? dun say tt u all r shock, i'm shock as well... but its my decision to quit.

i start my work on wed 22/8 morning at 10am. i was asked to read up company profile n watch some of their events video which they had done n at 7pm, i followed a colleague to a presentation to client at marriot hotel. tt day itself, i was already feeling odd n weird in the company already cos all my colleagues r females who r married n getting ready to give birth!! i only have a male boss n tts all.... somemore, its a very 'Ang mo' environment which they all really speak very gd english n i dun feel comfortable. i'm a chinese speaker leh... i felt out of place...

the 2nd day morning, i was already like dragging my body to work... its a free day for me cos boss not free n i was only watching videos the whole day till 6pm... as i watched the videos, i recalled doing all the small irritating minor thingy which had to b done for events such as calling ppl up for the events asking whether they r coming, printing all the tickets posters plus the design which needs to b done n etc... back then in hall, i hate to do all these!! i like the planning n providing unique ideas part only!! but in this small company which consists of only abt 7 perm staffs, i had to do everything from A to Z... i start to regret joining the company... tt day, i really started to think of whether i should take up the job already... at night, i called up my boss telling him tt i wish to quit already cos i find tt the environment was not for me. he tried to persuade me to try out at least 3 weeks first but i was not really willing to even try cos I, having been through many events which i had planned in hall, I know my passion is actually dying off liao. nothing was concluded tt nite n we leave it to fri to discuss

in the fri morning, i went with my colleague to meet up a client in kallang b4 gg back office. I met Mark, Flying Dutchman, with my colleagues for lunch b4 gg out to another meeting with my boss at hougang mall. I slowly began to understand the kind of work which they r doing n its really quite similar to hall events n then, i was quite sure tt i would not wan to handle all those irritating stuffs... after which i followed my boss to tao payoh CC to meet a vendor. after which, me n my boss sat down to discuss. he was trying to convince me to try out but some how, i gave some excuses n confirm my stand tt i would not wan this job.

i am really quite sorry tt i suddenly wan to quit when i just started like only 3 days... but since i know i will not like the job n environment which i will b in, y should i stay any longer? mayb some frens tell me to try out at least 1 week on the job since my job scope had not started at all... but i'm really sure tt i really would not like it liao n therefore, i felt tt there is no need to try out at all. doing events outside is also different from hall, its the money value tt counts n u will b kanna squeeze badly even b4 the events start during ur presentation to client. In hall, i still have a group of close frens working on an event n we had alot of fun as well... although some work r quite shitty, but we got through it together!!! its very enjoyable!! n i miss all my hall frens n buddies n sisters as we enjoy our life in hall!!

the final thing which i was really turn off was the pay... i was paid 800 per month for first 3 months probation only... tt time when i agree to work, its cos i still held on some passion abt event management, but now tt the passion is gone, the pay is really something which is not acceptable for me liao. i rather go n find engineer jobs to do then... bored, yes i mayb. but at least i will have money to spend...

after having quit the job on fri... i felt tt i did the right thing. i hate the kind of feeling to b doing something which i feel reluntant to do or to go to. N i finally understood something, passion for something need not turn it into something which u will try to achieve or obtain. one has to get realistic with life...

i like it slack at the moment... N i hate social perspective... so wat if i'm the only person left without a job...

woah!!

i watched a very fantastic movie woah!! "不能说的秘密" its a great movie with fantastic storyline n its directed by Jay!! but i can tell u his directing is not very gd from wat i feel... seemed to lack something which i would say its a well directed movie... but i really love the movie!! great piano pieces as well!!

i found job liao... got into an event management company, "The Flying Dutchman". Yup!! it belong to the 95FM DJ... he founded the company. i gg to start work on the 22 Aug next week n i'm taking this week to slack as much as possible... heehee... but i can tell u the pay is really low n i really got to work hard to earn the commission. i really took quite some time to measure the worth to get into this job n the pay...

at the start, pay is really low n cannot b compared to wat the engineers r getting around $2.8k... but i'm looking at the things which i will learn, ppl i will meet, management skills i will pick up in time to come... i'm gg to give myself 1-2 yrs to try out this job n gained the exp. If i'm not able to advance further then wat i'm getting now, then i will probably moved on to another job with the wide-spread of exp n contacts I will have. its really very great exposure!! really hope i can make it big from here n get to meet really fantastic ppl to work with!!!

thus for this week, whoever is free, lets go out for movie!! cinema is my fav place to b in!!

the FOC itself is quite alright... i guess the freshies had fun. but i felt its a bit relaxed... lots of fun games we used to have were gone n i feel probably next time those games would have been forgotten...

overall for me, its an ok experience lah... cos i din join in the OG as much as last time. Like xiao meimei, we felt tt its gd enough to just look at the seniors n freshies having fun... makes me recall all the fun time i had with all my kakis who were gone n graduated... Miss u guys n gals!! N i miss hall XI too!! a place where my life started off with...

after which, we went all the way to esplanade!! there were 5 cars driving all the way there leh... then on the way, dennis lost track of us... then we the other 4 cars ( me, william prez, shilun, longteng driving weihong rented car) had a race on the expressways all the way there!! we were driving at a speed of 110km/hr although some of them say its actually 130km/hr... n the conclusion is, we r really driving very fast!! haha!!

woah!! ppl around me r all getting ready for marriages woah... there goes the first one in my group and some r planning already.. Oh, my sister is getting marry next yr end too!!

does it not disturb u at all with all these?? last time we were all discussing abt relationships n now we had moved into another stage of talking abt wifes n husbands. my frens were all planning to find 'THE ONE' n settle down... then there were some who had thought of by wat age they would wan to get marry even when they r still single now...

well, frankly speaking, it does disturb me sometimes cos i'm single n not planning on marriage as yet... but the truth is, i do still hold hope of a romance... YUP!!! i still do!!! i hate the pressure to get marry cos everyone around me is getting married... I still would like to meet tt "ONE"!! the "ONE" who will create a romance together with me... we would not work in the direction towards marriage but towards understanding each other better

its not tt i do not want to develop a romance towards marriage... but i hope that the romance which we had would move towards a marriage n not work towards a marriage...

幸福是不可以勉强的，勉强是没有幸福的!!

dun i just seem so educated?? hahha!!! idealistic, yes i am.... dreaming, no i am not...

at the moment, i'm not in a hurry to get a gf lah... finding a job n working on my career is more impt!! no money how to go out with gf, no income how to support wife, no stable life how to support a family??

but if there r anyone who wanna sponsor for my life, i dun mind lah!! heehee!!!

Later on, i felt the craved to get tipsy and with the rest of my frens, we went to the nearby Brewerkz!!! Guess wat!! we met LT, des, tingyan and even my fav xiao meimei Hanna was there too!!!

This is my fav xiaomeimei woah!! look at her... she is red!! must have really drink some exotic stuffs b4 meeting me!! hahha.... N this is the best pic we took so far woah!! i like it!!

tts really 1 nite of fun with frens around but coming back to reality, i need a job!! yesterday 28/6 thurs, i got an interview with National Oilwell Varco which is a company which design n manufacture the parts for drilling in oil n gas industry as a management trainee. Unfortunately i din get in.... if not i would have flown to US Houston next sat liao... i was really upset abt it cos its really the kind of job which i look forward to, more on the management stuffs n less of the technical stuffs.
