thou shalt not conform when thou could blaze thy own path..
Back from holiday..
*yawn..
Finally back from holiday and holiday mode from the land of the hornbills..
Been tanning a while, now back with my new tan and newer outlook and new job..hmm..ya must be wondering where I'll b working eh..same here.
Anyway, been to a few interview sessions, been down the land of the sea lion to try out a bit of a luck there. Nice traffic. >:)
Had a very nice time with my uncle down at JB talking, chatting and listening to his stories.
Lotsa lotsa stories, so here goes :
I went back swk for two months helping out ; third sis goin thru form six, for some ppl it is easy, but her syllables tis year converted all the maths frm malay to english, so basically she cant understand the whole book and so plan to skip it all. Happening. Youngest sis can still handles her self pretty well..but she's got some problem with socialising and too impertinent for her own good. And she's never failed before, thus marking her a very vulnerable position for life lessons. The third sis at least is happy go lucky and positive minded shuld life start throwing stuff at her, her only weakness is idealism and laziness. Well, each of us gotta learn stuff our own way. Dad's been having a tough time handling those two imps from hell, he kept losing his top whenever they start disobeying him, since mum's at Kuching working n all, thus nobody's around to kick those two imps butts.
So I went back to kick their butts, so call..but most of the time to cook. I'm proud to announce to the world that I can now cook edible stuff which will keep me survive long enough till I find a permanent cook or earn lotsa bucks to keep my tummy full.
Cooked lotsa tong shui dessert as well, and made jellies and enjoy my slothful period a while, while at the same time thinking of my next plans. Hmm..wat is my next plan?
These 2 years had been very testing, both physically and mentally. I dragged myself too much to the brink. This year on ward, I'll take it slow and steady. Just as long as I get to my destination, I'll be satisfied.
So these 2 months went back, sleep like a pig, see lotsa Oprah stuff and enjoying my leisurely time and quality time with my sis..and explaining my plans to my parents and planning ahead again. End of the year is just around the block.
Then came back last week to attend interviews. At first I wanted to take up language lessons, but my mum said "Over my dead body." or smtg similar to that. So, tat's it. Back to iT line..*sigh.
Went down Singapore for an interview session, went thru 3 phases..*phew. Thought they'd give me a test or smtg, I'd rather take the test somehow. The first phase is with the hr team, after that followed by the team ppl then lastly by the team leader. The team ppl consisting of two gals asked me lotsa senario wise questions, lotsa loaded questions and lotsa sarcastic face expressions too. I too had a few of my own thrown back..it got to a point where I had to take deep breath, and answered very slowly as if explaining to a three year old. I know la I'm not as world-smart as they do, but everybody's entitled to their own way of thinking and idealism, to each his n her own la. Then came the chat with the team leader; he came in, introduced himself, sat and looked at my resume then just nodded, nodding and talking to himself, asking questions to nobody in particular which I answered and there got one part he said "I'd still consider you as a beginner." $%^*()*%#$%^&*( I answered I am an intermediate beginner, my logic perhaps is still beginner level..he replied.."It's good to have self confidence." Seething, I replied, "Well, then please take a look at my projects and judge me from there." He looked and said, "Well, I used to be a programmer 2 yrs ago, I'm still better a better programmer than you." Walaoyeh! Ok la..if u r not better than me, then they would'nt let you sit the team leader seat you are sitting now, would they..so wisely, I close my mouth and listen again. He merely nodded till he got to my uni projects and saw the SSADM concept which was implemented in my final year assignment. He said it was a UK standard concept, but his year is different from mine. I explained the whole thing to him and when he finished flipping, he gave a heap sigh and said "Ok, overall I'm satisfied with you. But I'm not the decision maker." So back I go JB to wait for the hr to call me. I dun intend to work at tat com, too many office politics goin on, usual case la, manufacturing com, let's just see when the hr calls, shall we..so the overall interview took up 2 hours.
So back to JB. On the trip from the singapore custom to jb custom, me n my uncle walked instead of waiting for the bus, and in my pretty heels I walked and walked and listened to my uncle's story.
Well, gotta go now, moving house again. Move to a better place, can cook, and got washing machine soon.
Stay tune for my uncle's story..it's gonna worth your time. ;)
As usual, stay cool and be happy and dun compromise your level of efficiency and work attitude for others. Rock on..
