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..........

went down to recruit express tis morning at 10.30am... it's at tampines cpf building... did notingy much there just filled up a form n left... talked to the guy lah, abt wat type of jobs i'm interested in n my availability... hmm thgt he was gonna tell me abt the job i applied for online but not... tis is kinda like putting me into their recruitment agency... well, it's notingy tat bad... at least he would keep a lookout for jobs suitable for me too...

after tat i went to TM n CS for a walk... long time nv went there so early in the morning for window shopping already... since i moved back to bedok i nv really had the chance to go back tampines unless i need to buy sometingys or meet frenz... actually wanted to watch Final Destination 3 at CS... bu the timing just wasnt rite... the show started at 10.30am too, maybe tat's a sign for me to keep my $... n buy the DVD instead... hahaha :P already had Final Destination 1 & 2 DVDs... now just haf to wait for FD3's DVD to release...

then went to popular bkstore to look for the 'cookie' bk i was toking abt few days back... but i just cant find it... maybe tis popular is just too small... but just then i was completely attracted to tis song tat was being played in the store... i just cant help but fell in love wif the music n lyrics of the song... but i just cant figure out the name of the song... but i knew it's a duet song...

next i went to times bkstore... n again i just couldnt find it... maybe i just gotta go down to Borders to search for it then... but it wont be so soon, cus i dont like going down to orchard :P

then i thgt of going to music junction to see if i could find any albums on duet songs... n i found just one... n i scan the names of the songs n their singers... only found one tat i wasnt familiar wif... cus the rest all i heard b4 already... only tat one... so i remembered the song name "Jin(1) Sheng(1) Zhu(4) Ding(4)" n hope to find it online when i got home... cus i just haf tt feeling tis might be the song...

i took bus no.18 home... bought a new paper to read along the way... then i saw tis joke section kinda funny... here's one of the jokes:

>Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.<

haha i find tis quite funny loh... :P

when i reached home i went online to search for the song to see if it was the rite song tat i heard in popular bkstore... hehe wat do u know... it's the rite one... sooo lucky :P the song is really beri nice... beri sentimental... how i wish i could sing it to the one i loved... hai~

Will i ever get a job?

was awaken by the ringtone of my handphone tis morning at abt 11am... got a call from an agent regarding a job, saying tat he would be sending in my resume to tis company... so i would be waiting 4 a reply to whether i would go 4 an interview... but it's uncertain...

then just now... when i just got home, my handphone rang again... tis time another agent, asking me if i'm still searching for a job... n told me to go down to tampines 2molo morning to get more details from me... so i agreed, cus I AM kinda desperate for a job already... DESPERATELY IN NEED OF CASH$$...

well to make tings clear... i didnt asked any agencies to help me search for jobs... all i did was search for openings online at www.jobsdb.com every single day... n send in my resume to those i'm interested in... n most of them r posted by agencies, so i wondered... if when i get a job tis way... would the agency like get a small portion of my pay?... if tat's the case then it's so not worth it :P

but all i could do now is pray tat i would get a job soon... i'm trying not to be too stressed over all these job huntings... cus it's such a headache looking for a job... n maybe the additional stress is coming from the shortage of cash tat i would be encountering these next few days n weeks to come...

WHERE'S MY NTUC PAY???

Double Dealer

Double Dealer is a character in Transformers: MasterForce Series... but actually it's original name was double clouder when i searched the websites for it... well anyway tat's not the point... tis character can be both autobots n decepticons, it has got 2 identity but must choose which side he wants to be wif... so it kinda acts as a spy n haf 2 ways of tinking...

wat i'm trying to say is... ppl tend to say sometings n do otherwise, which is kinda like the character Double Dealer... my case for instance, i just went down to open my letterbox n go buy TOTO... on the way back i stepped into 7-11 to get a slurpee... it's apple flavour if u wanna know :P haha... so notingy wrong wif all these... but on the way back i started to tink...

i thgt abt how long i'm gonna keep waiting, for my NTUC pay to arrive, tat's y i kept going down to open my letterbox... sooo all these time i kept telling myself over n over again not to over spend n not to spend on unnecessary tings... n here i am going down to buy TOTO, but hey how knows one might get lucky just tis once... :P but then the slurpee, $1.60, i thgt to myslef y would i spend $1.60 on a cold ice blended drink, when i could haf saved up tat $... or i could haf just went to the market to get a cold soya bean drink which would just cost me abt $0.50... n i could buy 3 packets wif the money i spent on that slurpee...

so i kinda hate myself for tat... wat i've been telling myself over n over again is not even effective... i would still go abt doing the wrong tings... y am i keep conflicting myself... it's like i'm behaving like double dealer... tinking one way n doing the other... kinda making my own matters worst every minute, everyday...

saw tis cookie recipe from a magazine... gonna try make the cookie myself as soon as i get a job n a stable income... cus now cant waste $ on unnecessary tingys... or maybe i could go buy the book where the magazine got tis recipe from :P the name of the bk is "Biscuits, Cookies & Brownies", it said the book is available in major bkstores... maybe can go times or popular check it out 2molo :P

kinda reminded me the time when i made the chocolates wif my sister's help :P hehe but the chocolates didnt turn out tat gd... would turn soft in room temperatures...

hai~ dont tink it was appreciated anyway... it's a memory tat should be erased... one tat was sweet n yet wif bitter outcome... but can one really erase it's own memory?
