To start off, I'm quite excited to work this coming sat! First time working as a beauty advisor and its been such a long time since i work in the sales line and somemore it is a job that I'm interested in. I mentioned in my previous post that I wanted to gain experience and more exposure in office job but since its already end of april,and I've went through 5 interviews to be exact, i've seen the whole picture and i've decided to work part-time and see how thing goes(:

Heres a brief summary of the interviews i went:
1st interview-it went smoothly and i got accepted by the pay is kinda low& location is inaccessible therefore i rejected it.
2nd interview: this job requires me to work in a condo as an Admin Assistant dealing with customers complain, billing and booking of facilities, it didnt quite like the job scope, well its over and i'm not accepted.
3rd interview: it was a position as an admin officer, the demand from this job is really really challenging and taxing. I dont think i've the cut for this job and i was pretty nervous for this interview. Furthermore, the location is kinda far and i dont think the company will accept me.
4rd interview: The job that i was selected!
5th interview: this job was sort of trying my luck to get a office job but the position was customer service officer. Alot of calls to be pick up and it requires you to be extremely patient to deal with customer complain, definitely not an easy job. I kind of performed really well during e 1st round but for e 2nd round i screwed up everything cause they're testing my phone communicating. My mandrain was really bad cause i dont speak very frequently though i understand all the single words when i watch the chi news. Quite disappointed at first but well its over. Benefits and pay for this company is really good ((:

So for now, i should be contented that i got a part-time job and the pay is kinda good! But the bad thing is I got to work during wkends! Perhaps i wasnt the type who can work in the office and there are many potential candidates during interview, so things might be blessing in disguise that i wasnt selected.

Who says finding a job is easy?? I had a hard time looking for one with a reasonable pay. Right now, i got to memorise every single products!

BB!

I'm in a real dilemma. I applied for a few admin jobs for the last few months but out of 3, I only got accepted by 1 company. I'm confused whether to accept the beauty advisor job(apparently they've accepted me but work havent got started). Right now, I want to gain as much experience as I can for if I got accepted by SIM for the full-time course, its not quite possible for me to work full-time. ARGHHH. WHY CANT I SEEM TO MAKE UP MY MIND?KILL ME!

I dont want to be broke for the next 5-10 years repaying debts for my school fees:((
SHOULD I REJECT THE SALES LINE JOB?
Since working for a make-up line has always been my dream but I couldnt care less now cause I really need finance/banking/accounting job experience in order to secure a job after taking my degree. I dont want to face the same problem after graduating from poly, not getting any jobs because I am a fresh graduate. It sucks feeling this way now..

CONCLUSION: I'll see how is my uni application, hopefully end of this mth(which i dont think so cos i have not submitted my full diploma and last semester's transcript). *crossed my fingers*

SERIOUSLY ALL THESE THOUGHTS ITS MAKING ME FEELING NEGATIVE NOW!

I hate knowing the direction of life I'm heading to is like walking aimlessly everyday. Apart of me scared that I would not be able to cope with the heavy workload in uni that I opted for a full-time course and at the same time is the money issue. I feel embarrassed to take pocket money from my parents and since I've graduated with a diploma, its logical for me to get a full-time job. But the BIG question will be: will i able to cope with full-time job and part-time studies?
Is degree really everything about education?
Does degree guarantees a good paying job?
I dont want to graduate with a degree and find myself struggling to secure a job because 5-10 years time, everyone is a local graduate be it from a local or private uni.

SHOULD I CONTINUE LOOKING FOR A PART-TIME ADMIN JOB?

Results are out(: I can happily say im OUT of RP. I did pretty fine for my last semester test which i've gotten 1 B+, 1 B, 2C+ and 1C. Though it is not a very awesome results and I must really say my efforts are paid off :) I was expecting my retail module to get a B grade but sadly i got a C+. Sigh. I really regretted not studying hard during year 2 which cause a drop in my gpa from 2.9 till even lower and i manage to pull up my gpa during year 3 and I was pretty amazed that I can actually do well provided if I study:) I'll be really grateful if the competition at SIM wouldnt be that competitive so that I can get a place for full-time course. *cross my fingers*

Back to drama :))

Well, im bored! Life after graduating is all about slacking. But im glad that i worked 2 weeks as a part-time recep @ woodlands to kill time! Though it is really boring but i self-entertained myself by reading storybooks, newspaper and all the magazines at the book shelves. Meanwhile, I tried to catch up with all the dramas and movies at home! Isnt that better than going out?Since it had been raining every single day and spore is so boring till the extent i dont know what to do at times and universal studio is opened! Cant wait to go there and for the first time in my life, I wanna break the norm and try all the exciting and thrilling rides! Totally regretted not trying it out during my trip in korea. The rides are so thrilling and heart-popping that I refused to take the ride because of my phobia of fast rides and the height!

The space mountain rides at HK disneyland really left a deep impression on me because my legs are shaking and I couldnt walk properly after the ride! What a lousy me :( Honestly speaking, I'm quite a timid person and for now i wanna get out of my comfort zone and do a different thing :) Life is all about trying and experiencing new stuff. Who knows i might love it after sitting?! Even my ex-company director who is 40 plus sat on the thrilling rides at universal studio, so tell me why should I not try it since im young & fit??!


Praying hard that my application to SIM will be good (: RP can only released my academic transcript & diploma cert around mid-may, I dont know what took them so long but I really wants to get into a full-time course in banking & finance.

Meanwhile, I should just bury myself into dramas and movies(:

"Caring too much for a person might become your burden"
I thought this statement is damn true cause the more you care about e person, e more you find that you're into this person's situation be it a small part of him/her or regardless of his/her life as a whole.
I learn that you can never care so much for a person or rather you can care to a certain extent but not overly concerned cause it will turn into a habit that you cant seems to get rid of. Sometimes it might turn out to be bad.

"You can try your hardest - you can do everything within your means but sometimes people just aren't worth it anymore. They aren't worth all the tears and worrying, and it's important to know when to let go of someone who only brings you down."

I used to wonder why everyone was so crazily in love with "sorry sorry" by super junior, its no doubt my fav playlist and it had been repeating non-stop that I'm not getting sick of it. Hehe (:

I'm so gonna search for all the thai pop songs to listen cause I find myself seriously hooked up and its really nice.

For once, I wants to stop looking at jobstreet, jobsdb and jobscentral for a moment. Got 'forced' to take a indefinite break because I could not get a job after sending so many resumes and attending like 4 interviews. Still remaining positive and waiting for results for the last 2 interviews. (: If not im so going to slack till school commence in august if I got accepted by SIM.

Work part-time or wait to get a full-time job?Really in dilemma. Apart from me wanting to gain as much experience as possible, I dont want to sit and wait for the job cause cash is running real low and I'm really sick of slacking. More of wanting to keep myself occupied.

Life's a bitch. When school is OUT, all of us were like looking forward for the big holiday to rest. But when we had slacked enough, we just want to do something productive other than slacking and wasting our time away. Contradicting ya? Other than that, got really sick of my dad's nagging and I just wants to shut my doors at home and do my own stuff.

Staying at home and shut my doors will be good for now. No disturbance.

"People come, people go-they'll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favourite book. When you finally close the cover,the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book,complete with new character and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past."
