After 2 weeks at work...

Haiz... much to my most unwilling to post something depressing here..
but I think I am quite not up to the work at Citigroup... haiz..
I think perhaps I need more time to get use to the work and long hours..
I got sick yester.. after a day of OT till 10+pm on Wed..
~It's simply lei~ :_(
Do you think I need more time to get use?? Do u think it's the ppl there that's affecting me??

Well, I know I would give myself more time to get use... to certain extent...
I feel it's still manageable just tat there is no motivation...
perhaps I still quite abit of guiding tats why.. I keep asking qns..
but I will try my best to get things learnt fast... :)

Everything seems fine after 2 days... On friday, I had an MC... coz I was feeling cold and throat inflammed.. After 2 days of med, everything seems much better le!

If I am not able to adapt and learn my current new job, I would most likely change to another industry... Probably 1) marketing 2) secretary 3) hr 4) finance... Hmm.. currently I won't give myself a conclusion.. bt it's a plan if current job didn't work out as expected...

Another good news is I have just checked my education loans..

It's much lesser than I expected... thou' can't clear in a year or two.. haha..
Nvm, slow and steady!!!!! :)

Another good news is I got Bio call... they were checking if I have gotten my job le.. coz they wanted to select me for the position.. told them I am on the job le.. but I would very much interested to work in Bio if given a chance.. I checked with them if the position is urgent and Sally mentioned that it's nt urgent.. Checked their website yesterday.. they really repost the position again~ means they are again actively seeking for interviewees.. I didnt receive any calls from Sally up till now.. but I hope she will call me within a month ba... :)

Do you think it's normal to feel this way?

P/S: Somehow in me.. there's a little voice telling me.. you are not suitable for the job...
main reason is I tink I get a lot more to hot-tempered with so many OTs everyday..
Very very sad.. haiz.. actually I really have the xin to build my career here de! perhaps is the long hours which I think as a fresh graduate it's a very steep learning curve for me!

My First Week @ Work!

Woo... a week has passed in just like a wink! :)
First week at work was kinda ok.. as I have nothing much to work on since there's no desk for me yet..
However, I know coming week... I would need to end work late...
Need some adjustments to get use to the work and the working hours there...
Hmm... It's rather mixed feeling.. getting work and the satisfaction from the work..

I think I really need to find the inner balance in me...
I am currently at the getting to use stage... maybe gotta see 3 months later see if I can really adapt well in my work..

Secondly, I think I have to set my to-do list fast! I must lose about 2-3kg!! :(
Gaining weight is never fun... I wan to feel light!! No worries! I will try my best to work out wat's the best for me! :)

Hmm.. yester went to Guan Yin Temple to return my thanks for all the blessings.. was really crowded coz yester was 15th day of lunar calendar month.. then spend some time searching for mei's bdae party paper plates and also balloons... When I came home, spend some time to get ready to sent all the envelopes and cards out..

Time really flies... before I post my next post... wait for me ya... :)

Updates on my job search!! ;)

Firstly... good news!! :)

Actually it's not really that I found a job or something..

Biopolis havent got back to me.. However, I was really happy that they have yet selected anybody... The HR personnel told me that the person in charge had gone on leave the whole week, that's why no news from them..


Hopefully they will get back to me asap.. if can get to me on monday, it's the best le!!!

Secondly, I have actually gone for 2nd interview to Citigroup!! :D Pretty excited and happy... and I would say I have done my best in my 2nd interview so the rest is up to them if they want to select me!

I think career wise.. I am starting to get a clearer idea le.. thou' in the long term wise there are many factors that I must consider... It's my first step into the working society and I believe that it is important to be careful in selecting my first position...

P/s: When I heard of the position at Bio wasn't filled up.. I am really happy... I guess that would show that I am really interested in the position ba..

Morning ...

This morning woke up early... couldn't get back to slp...
wanted to call back the company I have interview at 11am with.. However, I was not able to contact them... nobody pick my call since yester evening... so at the end... I so called 'irresponsible' person... I just merely absent from an interview that I was supposedly to attend without any reason..

Later going to meet dear in school... going to get from him the burned cd for py...
This morning... I had a very strong gut feel that wat I need nw the most is ironically something that I have recently broke... I am upset that it broke and no amendments/sticking it back wld repair the damage that I had done! Well... slowly time will show... :)

Interview @ Citigroup! =)

Dear diary,

Today I had an interview at Citigroup! It was quite an interesting and challenging position. Though the position is only Bank Processing Officer, this position requires timeliness, accuracy and commitment! However, I think it is a really good platform for me to kickstart my career... Afterall, on this job, I strongly believe that there is a real potential to let me better train my soft-skills. It reminds me of the Standard Chartered Bank attachment! :)

Biopolis has not called me yet. I hope to be able to clinch that job, however, as days pass, my hopes & heart shrivelled... It is a once in lifetime opportunity and I thought that I would be able to develop my potential to fullest! :( But, nah... perhaps it's not meant for me... perhaps it is fated that I don't get the job.. Perhaps my next job would be better... Perhaps perhaps perhaps...

People say to me... perhaps it's really a blessing in disguise ah.. perhaps really this job isn't suitable for you so it's fate that make you fail to clinch the job... how would you know?! Perhaps you should just look forward for your next interview to be able to clinch your ideal dream job!

♂ÇhëRïšH & TrËäŠürê ♀ <-- this is my blog name.. and my own motivation phrase since a long time ago... I must follow this phrase... I must learn to cherish & treasure what is given to me...

Actually, I am afraid too.. to be in a job where I get so busy that I do not have time for many other things in life. I hope to be in a job that make me have motivation to go work everyday and also to be able to have time for my own life... I don't think it's too much to ask for ba..
It's just probably I haven't met with the right position & offer.

I am at the cross-roads. However, I do believe that things get clearer as I move on...
You too.. as you read my post, please believe in yourself... If you don't, how can you make others believe you!?

Here's me wishing you guys...
"good day at whatever you are doing..."

♥♥ Ţǻđąħ ♥♥

Dear diary ♥♥

It's been about 2 mths or so, I've been searching for jobs. Hopefully I could get a call from any of the companies that I have gone for the interview, to be selected for interview/position! I am really hoping that I could get one real soon!

Hmm♥♥ today is a very cool day♥♥ have been having a cold feet since morning till now as I am writing my blog! The Leap Years I have watched♥♥ If you ask me if I would recommend? Personally, if you are into local films and also an romantic dreamer and perhaps with a tinge of poetic personality♥♥ chances are you will love the movie..

One of the phrase I remember vividly after the movie... spend some time to reflect the truth of this line.. You will understand soon..

"Coincidence is god's way of remaining anonymous" -- A. Einstein

I think the movie has been film in an unique way. Coz it is presenting the story in the 'past' state and in 'first person'. It's a great challenge to the director relating the past and present of the story. I was not lost and I think the director have done a great job! I also liked the phrases and the poetic feel being presented by Li - Lin.. She's one natural and good actress... U can almost feel that she's relating her own story and forget that she's Li-Lin, a mother of two!
On the downside, this movie does not have the usual climatic curve like wat is usually seen in movies. It's a mild and close to heart movie.. Nothing too heart wrenching..
I teared just a little so I think it's fine to most ppl since I tear quite easily♥♥

I have also started using my new hp since repair I haven't used. Today took it out and used it. Think have to get use to it again. I think I have not really listen to my inner feelings or have I not listened carefully enough?! Still bit unsure if phrenite is the stone I need. I don't want to lose another crystal stone of mine.
