Which Executive Are You?

Quek, you're a Correspondence Technician!

Okay, we have to ask — what are you doing taking this test? Because from your answers, it doesn't look like you're gunning for the big corner office right now. Heck, you're not even interested. But since everyone deserves a title, here's yours: Correspondence Technician (or Mailroom Master, if you like that one better). Yep, that's right — you're meant for the mailroom. But, knowing you as we do, we don't think that's going to be a problem. You're a laid-back, cheerful person who's not into the whole ambition thing. Why should you put in 10- or 12-hour days busting your butt for someone else's bottom line? You just want to be able to pay the rent, with enough left over for a little fun, of course. Work isn't your main priority in life; life is. Which is fine with us. As long as you're happy, we're happy. Enjoy!

What's Your Flavour?

Hmm, you taste of Liquorice!

Mmm ... liquorice! Strong and edgy, you're the flavour of Allsorts and Blackjacks. Some people absolutely love you (in fact, they might even find you addictive), but you're definitely not for everyone. But that's fine with you -- you'd rather pick and choose your companions. When you have time for friends at all, that is. Powerful and very potent, you're goal oriented and ambitious -- you don't let much stand in your way. There's nothing sweet or sugary about you; you're a serious taste that's best suited for the truly focused. Lingering, enigmatic, and a little hard to pin down, you're a truly tantalizing treat.

hmm not entirely true :P i'm not tat ambitious hahaha

overwhelm by sadness

not sure y... but maybe cause i'm already mentally exhausted from a whole day of reading in the office... i suddenly felt a wave of sadness overcoming me... where is the frend when i need a listening ear to hear me out... all i could do is just voice out in here... but not all could be written in here u know...

really wanna be more optimistic... but it's just too tiring to hide all the sadness inside me... y cant my life be more simple? i just want a simple life... is tat too much to ask for? i already set my expectations to the minimum to spare myself from any disappointments... cant i be happy for just tis once?

so tired... feel like crying~

then stopped by at sembawang music store to check out on ken hirai's new released album... hehe instead i saw hiro's new ablum... n bought it without tinking too much... but the songs r from her previous single albums all compiled into tis one :P but it does haf a new song in it if not wrong... haha cus i haben finish listening to the cd lah :P

i am getting my 1st pay b4 my bday... but i gotta spend half of it on a washing machine... cus our old 1 spoil long time liaoz... can only spin dry... then ma gotta wash wif hands n put in the machine to dry only... i oso dont really know how to wash clothes properly... so best i could do is buy a new one... so pls understand k frendz :P me promise would TRY to open a chalet 4 my bday in 2007 or maybe x'mas or new yr oso can :P but provided u ppl wanna come lah... cus i dont tink my reputation beri gd hahaha... but tat's next yr tingy lah... i oso nv organised anytingy in my life b4 :P

cant wait for my 1st pay day n bday :P wonder will i be sad or happy on tat day... most probably sad hahaha :P

Deja Vu~

as per normal... 2day went to work in the morning... nowadays i've been taking bus to interchange cus i dont wanna perspire too much when i reach the mrt... but tat's 1 tingy i dont really like abt taking bus is tat the ppl infront of the bus would get off the bus at the middle exit when the bus reach the interchange... y cant they use the exit infront? dont they know there r ppl at the back trying to get off too? somemore it's in the morning n ppl r rushing to work n etc... so it's like ppl in the back gotta wait till all the ppl infront get off the bus b4 they could start alighting... hai~ but wat to do... tis is singapore...

then in mrt... dont know y lah but i tink it's just me or wat loh... i was standing against the screen beside the door when i enter... then there's tis gal standing opposite me... around my age or maybe younger... but wat makes me angry is the kinda look she giving me... it's like saying "wat the hell u looking at" and "eww look at wat tis guy is wearing, n his hair..." then again most probably it's just me tinking too much hahaha :P but i'm sensitive to tingys happening around me loh...

anyway, back to the topic :P i was as usual sitting in the office reading my training notes... n occasionally dozing off hahaha :P i trying hard not too loh somemore the office is like open-office concept... everyone can easily see wat u doing... so i was reading n reading till i stopped at a paragraph tat suddenly looked extremely familiar to me (but it's the 1st time i'm reading the notes)... it shocked me n i looked up n saw the lady sitting opposite who was facing me... n then there's tis similar picture in my mind... i had the exactly same dream of me reading sometingy n looking up at tis lady in an office... kinda hard for other ppl to understand me lah... but i really do get all these "deja vu" once in awhile... somemore is i dreamt abt it n it would appear like after some time...

the tingy is i cant recall wat tat dream was abt n it's ending... i just hope there's notingy bad in tat dream... hehehe

yeah~ friday loh... can rest n play liaoz :P

one tingy gd abt a human mind... we can always hypnotise ourselves, telling ourselves everytingy's gonna be ok... trying to cancel out all those pessimistic thoughts... sometimes it turns out well... but there r times when tingys just turn from bad to worst...

not trying to tink too much now... tat's wat i'm doing currently... just trying to live through everyday feeling happy... n not mentally tired... but sometimes just cant help it...

started work for 3days already... fuji xerox is a gd company, but due to i'm new there, finding it hard to adapt to the office atmosphere... somemore the age gap between me n the ppl there... WAO... no topic to link loh... maybe cus those young engineers r all out there doing their work n we r here in the office reading n training... yah lah got another new guy wif me... but non-chinese (i'm not racist ar!!) just tat i dont really like to communicate in english cus my vocab is limited... n somemore i oso can find a solid topic to tok wif him... tat's y i'm trying hard to adapt to tis kinda situation asap...

luckily bump into kenny in mrt ytd when going back... he too works at tanjong pagar but we in diff buildings n some distance away... now can find him for lunch n go back 2gether liaoz haha... if not free 4 lunch i could always find my sis :P cus she's working in the area too hahaha so nice :P but then better not lah if not i wont get to pay for my own lunch... confirm she wont let me pay hehehe

then 2day oso ran into jiacong when he was working at the showroom for fuji xerox... hehe so nice to meet up wif old frenz in the working life... hai~ from sch till now work... time really flies... everyone will sure to haf some regrets in the past... like y nv study hard in sec sch n get a gd diploma tat u wanted, y nv speak up to the person u love, y nv do tis, n even y did i do tat, etc etc... all tis r my regrets...

ppl say no matter wat u did, u should haf regrets... but how would one know if the tingy u did was rite or not, gd or bad... till the outcome occurs...

hai~ TINK POSITIVE!! TINK POSITIVE!!

hehe wrote a testimonial in friendster just now... not sure if the system processed it or not cus my browser didnt response when i submitted it... hope it went through... if not then i'll just haf to try recap n rewrite one more for her

happy birthday! once again... althgt i know u wont see tis greeting here :P

Fuji Xerox~

went to the 2nd interview tis afternoon... same as the 1st time i was there... i was made to wait n wait n wait n wait... the management seems to be always busy... but anyway hehe they offered me the job after the interview... so i had a quick thgt n accepted it... cus i'm currently jobless, n still need to go through their internal courses in order for me to be running around singapore to service the products...

would be going back to fuji xerox on wed for orientation n stuffs... they didnt give me an exact figure of the salary... but they did say the min. was $1.4k... cus they didnt want me to discuss the salary wif other applicants...

well... really looking forward to wat is gonna happen in my future starting from now hehehe :P althgt i know it wont be smooth sailing all the way... at least hope there would be more ups than downs from now on...

time flies so fast... already near middle of march... got so much on my mind now... mainly searching for a job n some other stuffs... hai~ maybe shouldnt tink so much since every yr it's the same...

got a call from fuji xerox again last friday... asking me go back for 2nd interview 2molo afternoon... not sure if they really want me for the job... cus will be interviewed by their GM n some other management level ppl... would be rather glad if i could start working n $ would start coming in... then wont haf to bother so much abt $ then...

recently just changed the layout in my room... tis is the 3rd time liaoz loh :P cus the previous one was rather gd... but the only bad tingy was i turned my bed into my computer chair haha :P cus i place my bed next to my PC table, n whenever i wanna use my PC i had to sit on the corner of the bed... n my weight kinda made the edge of the bed soften... tat's y i decided to change the layout again... now it's back to normal sitting on a chair while using PC :P n gonna hang up my hiro's posters soon... just gotta wrap them up wif transparent sheets 1st :P gotta protect my beloved hiro posters mah hahahaha :P i had these posters since poly time... but didnt hang them up cus scare would spoil them... n luckily i didnt, cus i moved house from tampines to bedok... if i were to hang them up in my tampines home... they wont be able to make it here in one piece :P

i can barely tink rite now... my head hurts like hell... it's either due to lack of blood flow to the head or too much blood... maybe high blood pressure bah... but all these is due to the fact tat i didnt eat much tis entire day... cus i thgt the interview at fuji xerox tower would be a fast one, a short test plus an interview... but i was wrong... i went there at 2pm n it last till 6pm...

but i had only had a light breakfast of some bread n went for the interview without lunch... i would start to feel headache if i haben eat for a long period of time... after the interview i took a straight bus home to bedok interchange... on the bus my head was spinning n feeling so painful... i could only close my eyes n try to relax till i reach the interchange... i started to feel abit better than b4... but it still hurts... even after i had my dinner n rest in my room...

tinking i still need to prepare for 2 more interviews 2molo makes my head hurt more... one in the morning at west side... the other in the east side in the afternoon... one after the other... wonder if i would be in time to get back for the other interview... but the agent told me if i cant make it in time then i could call n inform him n he would help settle it for me...

dont really feel like toking abt the interview just now... tinking of it kinda makes my head hurt more too... partly cus of the teset i took... long time nv read up or had my mind working on engineering stuffs... hai~

Interview~

yeah~ finally got a call asking me go interview 2molo... ytd went to the agency n 2day she called stating the company want me go down for the 1st interview... which is accompanied wif a test... supposed they wanna test our technical knowledge or sometingy... so i would be going down for an interview for the 1st time since i ORD... hope would be a gd 1...

hehe not only tat... another agency i went to earlier called oso... saying he has got 2 openings suitable for me... asking if i'm interested in them... n since the location for both openings r in the east so i asked him to help me send in my resume to these 2 companies... but he did say one of it, the main office is in pandan loop... which is near clementi... but if accepted would be working at tampines for a start...

well just gotta see how the interview 2molo goes... then i could further decide on my future... wish me all the best ppl... but dont wish me gd luck, cus it will turn to bad luck :P

Career Fair 2006

went down to the career fair eh... yesterday cus now already past midnite liaoz :P it was located at hall 601-603 so i started from 601... but every booth i saw was abt further studies, universities... so i continued down to 603... cus the halls r connected... then went to the engineering section... but all i did was just took some flyers n application form back... i did bring my resume n some documents there but nv really used them... cus too crowded n i cant confirm which job to take on the spot... so mind as well bring back the flyers n send in my resume from home...

i oso saw the police booth... n went there to take a closer look... cus i had been to their website to check on the career wif the police force... but didnt really apply for it cus i failed ippt n not sure if it would be a must to pass ippt... so i asked the officers there n they said must be fit n pes B... n ippt would only affect the promotion n wont get sacked from the force... so i probably would give it a try... but signing on would always be a last resort... but anyway even if i appplied for it, i wont be possible tat i would be accepted immediately... cus heard from some frenz who tried out there r lots of interviews in order to get into it... n not everyone would be suitable...

so after tat i went to meet up wif junchao n vincent to check out on mattress n bed frames... cus junchao's looking for one... hehe n wat a coincidence, i bump into ssg tan n his family when we were at millenium walk harvey norman... hehe sooo long nv saw him liaoz, since i ORD... kinda miss the life at rsaf... hehe if i could pass ippt i wont mind signing on as a senior tech :P hahaha

then we went on to "Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant" at UOB plaza Raffles Place for junchao's belated bday dinner... wah the restaurant is located on the 60th floor sia... so high hehe... tis is the 1st time i had my meal at such a height :P... the dishes quite nice... but some were too spicy... oh yah n they got the "tea pouring master" the guy who pour the tea using a long nose tea pot (hehe not sure if tis is the term they use, but u should know wat i toking abt lah hor?)... it's oso the 1st time i experience it... hehe wah really beri full sia after 2hrs of dinner :P

we wanted to watch underwould 2 after dinner... but the tickets were mostly sold out n left single seats... else the next timing was at midnite so we decided to to find a place to sit down n drink... but oso cant find a suitable place... so end up just got some drinks on the way n went back home...

hehe die man after tis would be my turn to treat in april liaoz... so must keep at least $400 for backup... so out of the $1100 i got from NTUC pay... minus tat would be $700... dont tink i could give ma n pa ang-bao liaoz... cus i still gotta pay my bills n i haf yet to get a job... just haf to tell them if they need cash then tell me liaoz... hai~ wat kind of son am i?... cant even be a gd one...

i'm so tired~ mentally :'(

i was woke up by my hp n alarm clock 2day... the alarm was set at 6.30am... but when it rang it was already 12noon... the battery was running low n it must haf stopped a few times b4 reaching 6.30... anyway, got a call from the guy, i'm getting my NTUC pay 2day... but in a cheque...

so as usual, i went online n searched for jobs at jobsdb.com n sent in my resume to an agency... who gave me a call immediately when they received it... asking me to go down 2day at abt 3pm... but i turned it down cause i gotta collect the cheque n i didnt know the timing to collect my cheque yet... n she said it's kinda urgent... but had arranged a time on mon for me to go down 2 see her... so i agreeded... hope tis would be worthwhile...

then i got a call at abt 4.30pm asking me to go down to collect my cheque at paya lebar mrt station at 6pm... but by tis time it has already past the time for the collection of cheques at posb bank... n even if i deposit it by 2day... it would only be banked into my account earliest on mon 2pm... tat's wat the customer service told me when i called the posb customer service...

hai~ tat's not the end of my headache... i remembered i got abt $40 in my account rite now... but when i was gonna withdraw it out for 2molo... i couldnt, the atm said i had insufficient amount in my account... so i checked it n $2 was deducted cause i only got $40 in there... so no choice... i could only get $30 out...

after tat i went for a swim at bedok swimming pool... cause i wanted to cool down... cause i really cant take all these stress already... finding a job is so hard... n always in financial problems... there were alot of kids in the pool... cause it was abt 6.30pm when i went there... anyway i still swam, but only few laps instead of the usual 20... partly because of all the "obstacles", and oso i didnt haf the mood to swim... kept on tinking abt the money problems n job... so i left without completing 20 laps... n went home at abt 7.30pm...

would be going to the career fair 2molo by myself... wanna see if there's any opportunities there... luckily i saw the commercial of tis career fair on tv... cause i had no idea abt it at all... wanted to ask some ppl to accompany me for tis fair... but almost all my frenz r already working... so it would bore them if they were to go...

then maybe after tat i could go meet weihe they all for junchao's bday dinner... hahaha i still gotta borrow $50 from ma for tis... cause the cheque could know be banked in on mon afternoon...

hai~ i hate all these tingys... feel like crying out... my head hurts so much...

i'm so sad... so angry... so frustrated... so helpless... so useless... so cold... so lonely... so... so..........
