My friend commented the other day that I dont seem to be in good mood for the past week. I think it was attributed by the fact that I am not working and had nothing to do at home except interviews. I think jobless can make one feels restless too coz I realised that besides looking for job, watching tv, doing assignments, there is nothing else I can do but to sleep. I can sleep like a log these days and I can stay up till 7am in the morning. Maybe my biology clock is having a fun time now to be disoriented once awhile. Lol.
I think I did something wrong, I sent out too many resumes to the extent that I forgot which job is which! Omg lar! When people call, I will just "yah.. yah.. thats right.. may i know where you are calling from?" etc. This is so -.-".
Anw, I saw an interesting job advert on some forums and it says part time facilitator with schools. I saw it several times but it did not cross my mind that I can give it a shot during this period of time while landing myself into a full time job. So I went down today before class.. the interviewer was quite nice, he told me to try it out first to see if I am really suitable for this kind of job and then if everything is fine, we will move on from there. But of course, if a full time job comes along after that, I will go for the full time job. Guess this is the best that I can do as of now, rather that staying home everyday doing nothing except sleep. =)
Seems to me that many people are on a job hunt these days and getting a job interview itself is already very tough, lest landing into a permanent job. Well, wish all those who are in the same plight as me (on a jobhunt) good luck and may we all get a job soon. Very soon!

Disappointment yet again
I was looking forward to hearing the good news from CDL hr personnel today but to my anticipation, what I got was disappointment instead. Sighs. Things just dont always turn out the way we want it to be. I rejected the offer. From the way the hr said, there seemed to be no temp to perm and I decided not to take up the risk of a temp job which offers a.... hourly pay? Oh wells.. I must admit I was indeed disappointed. It's been so long since I last had a job which pays hourly and the rate is.... -.- Anyway.. will still need to press on. press on. press on. press on. press on. press on. press on. press on. press on. press on. press on.
Sunshine after the rain
No doubt I feel happy that I finally "see the light" after the bad experience previously, I feel rather confused.
It's a good thing that I got a job offer, something which I always wanted to try out on - Advertising and Promotions, Marketing Communications, the location is quite ideal too - Raffles and a big firm which I would like to pursue a career in. But it's a bad thing when the position was offered on a contractual basis for 2 months and then with the potential of conversion to a permanent position.
Maybe like what PM said - "There's always a tradeoff.".
Many things went through my mind when the manager offers me a position. I hope this time round, everything will be good. Shall see what the HR says tomorrow. If nothing goes wrong, I will start work on Monday. Very express right? Haha. I hope that the sun will still shine bright after this and good news will await for me tomorrow. =)

Communication
Communication plays a very big role in all kinds of relationships, be it friendship, kinship or love relationship.
Sometimes I wonder why they just cannot sit down and talk in a nice way. One tries to explain, the other tries to defend his own words. End up both cannot see eye to eye and no one is willing to compromise. At times, I also wonder if my brother knows what is compromising and accomodating. I know Dad has his difficulties and I am well aware of all these since I have been helping him in the preparation of those documents and stuff. But my brother doesn't see it that way. I know they have differences in thinking and each of them have certain issue which they are concerned with but all in all, it boils down to the same thing, if they look at the bigger picture.
Sighs, I can try to 安抚 one side but I am unable to 安抚 the other. Its like the meat in that sandwich. I know how both of them think and I can communicate with them both but I dunno how to let them both see things eye to eye. Hopefully my brother's friend can do a better job in getting both of them to see the light and resolve the issue asap.
And at such times, I have this bad thought. Do things always go the wrong way one after another when one is going through a rough patch? From the way things are, I really feel so. Sighs.
