Life is so complicated and stressful. Really have enough of all these. Why am I so useless and incapable. SMU disappoints and stresses me all the time. I am slowly losing faith in myself. What should I do?     Yup, after a long long period of time. I suddenly got an urge to start writing a blog again. Perhaps because my life is currently a bit boring. But i bet that i will regret saying this after school reopens! :o

This holiday is definitely a fruitful one:) I am having a lot of fun and brand new experience this holiday:) An d guess what, for the FIRST time, I DECIDED THAT I SHALL STOP BEING A LAZY BUM WHO LIVES LIKE A COUCH POTATO IN MY HOUSE AND GET A JOB. YAY! But perhaps my realization is too late and I had a terrible time finding job ;/ and for the first time, I understand the feeling of 工作难找啊. LOL. The first job that i tried for was a temporary promoter at some computer shop in Funan IT Mall. I was still intending to be a slacker and work only for the IT fair, which lasts for only a few days:P BUT THE INTERVIEW TURNS OUT TO BE AN EPIC FAIL :( The manager started testing me on the parts of the computers like RAM etc. which I completely have NO IDEA. It was so embarassing as I kept trying to figure out what the shit are the computer parts. Luckily, the manager is an extremely nice guy and he actually compliments me :O He said that he feels that I can be a good promoter but I simple lack knowledge of computers and he don't have enough time to train me because the IT fair was like in 3 days? Hiaz,so unfortunately, I was rejected for my first job interview but I do learn some stuffs from the manager. HAHA.

Then, I went for another job interview at Udders, the ice cream stall. I mean, just the thought of scooping ice cream to kids and making delicious waffers is just so fun and awesome! haha. AND I WAS ACCEPTED:) yay! I was so damn happy when she accepted me and I started imagining myself making delicious waffers at the shop. (ok, i am not normal at that time :P) but then, the working hours REALLY shocked me. The working hours are so late!! I need to work until 1am plus on some occasions and thats like REALLY LATE. Although udders is really near my house, I will need to walk through this ulu ulu place, which becomes damn dark at night. To speak the truth, my parents are really quite protective about me and will not sleeps until i reach home safely. So, for me to work till late hours, it means that they will have sleep late and my dad is going to work in the morning, Furthermore, the pay isnt very impressing too. 5.5 bucks per hour even though i work till midnight :( I mean, for the first job, I dont really want to earn great bucks but more of getting experiences of the working life and get some money to spend. :) However, to think deeper, this job is really not my cup of tea. Whats the point of making my whole family to stay late with me just to earn like around 40 bucks? so in the end, i made a tough but correct decision to reject the job.

After rejecting the job, I started to emo a bit, thinking that I have put in effort in trying to get a job and in the end, I was left with nothing. The only thought that came into my mind was JOB HUNTING SUCKS AND WHY THE FREAKING HELL AM I NOT GIVEN A JOB EVEN THOUGH I THINK I AM COMPETENT ENOUGH. (haha, i dont even know where have i got this much confidence about my ability;P) and I went to parkway, wanting to ask anderson ice cream and New Zealand ice cream for job vacancy. BUT THERE IS NO VACANCY LEFT FOR ME. I was so frustrated and turned grumpy:( haha. yeah, I admit that I was a bit crazy because I was the one who have rejected the job yet i was still grumbling about having no job. HAHA. OH WELLS, THAT WAS HOW I FELT AT THAT TIME. Then my awesome mom, seeing me being grumpy like an old woman experiencing menopause, deicded to help me by calling my cousin to ask for some jobs available for me and...... YAY! I WAS ASKED TO GO FOR AN INTERVIEW AT CRABTREE AND EVELYN! WHEEEE!~

I went for the interview at crabtree fully prepared! HAHA. Actually not really, but I went to look at their web page and try to know a bit about their products so that I wont be embarrassed like what had happened at the IT shop. But to speak the truth, I dont even remember what have I read. LOLOL. In the end, my supervisor didnt really interview me(probably because she is my cousin's friend) and just accept me:) YAY! So I was quite lucky and yay! I GOT MY FIRST JOB, LIKE FINALLY.

YUP. and after all these good and bad experiences, i realise that there are some important points to take note when you are going for a job interview, especially for your first job:

1. Dress Neatly
Everyone will judge you by your first impression so make a good impression:)

2. Don't be Late
Punctuality is valued by employers. Who will want an employee who is always late?

3. Try to look into your interviewer's eyes
Even if your interviewers look like a monster who is about to eat you up, you MUST not show any sign of fear! Look them in the eyes and that will show them your confidence and to speak the truth, the interviewers are also human. They may appear fierce but most of them are actually quite nice :)

4. Get some research done first.
Like what i have mentioned previously, if you show that you have some basic background knowledge about the company or products, that will definitely add some bonus points for you :)

haha! I think I sound like a guide.LOLOL. And that's all for my job hunting experience!i shall blog again if i am feeling boredd.. HEHE


Hey. Hahas! It's been REALLY long since I last blogged. While, I mean, blogging is no longer a trend now with facebook and twitter being so popular and accessible. I think the last time I blogged was during 2010, when I am still a sec 2 student. Looking back at those posts, I finally realize how much I have grown! LOL!

In a blink of eye, I am standing here as a sec 4 student. The life in sec 4 is really no joke. The stress is really killing me. It does not just come from the peers, but from the teachers as well. They just keep reminding me how long I have to my BIG O. Seriously, I am sick of teachers pushing us so hard everyday. Come on. We KNOW that the o level is going to determine our future. Siann.. I used to enjoy and anticipate school so much, especially when I am in sec 2. (seriously miss those days when I am still so carefree
) the lessons are Like OMG everyday. The homework are like in piles and can never be finished. Shit. I am
Moaning like moaning mytle now.. Hahas! Okay. Nvm.. Gonna stop moaning and go to sleep now. Hope
