Random people

Went to an open-interview at a local bank with MT. To be honest, we are not quite ready for this interview as it is not planned. However, we decided to give it a go. There is a lot of people going for the interview. I am the 189th candidate. I finish the interview approximately 6 o’clock in the evening. That is the longest interview I’ve attended. We are there since 11am,but, due to some problems(incomplete documents), we have to drove home to prepare the required documents. We went to a stationary shop to make copies. It’s so not fully prepared..We nearly give up and don’t want to go because of head-aches and uncertain feelings about the interview. Somehow, we manage to complete it. It’s quite challenging when you compete with 200th over candidates, standing among ten candidates, experienced and inexperienced, while waiting for your turn to say something about yourself (which I can feel my heart is no longer inside my body and have beat on its own). All I can say is, it is okay. I don't put so much hope. One thing that I really admire today is not really about the interview, it is the random people I interact with..It’s a little bit weird.But, I guess it’s a blessing.

Scene 1: At the stationary shop

As I was busy arranging my documents..A woman around my age came to the photocopy counter..while waiting for her copies to complete, she took a glance at what I was doing and said “Applying for work?” I was stunned for a moment. I was not expecting that will popped out of her mouth. I said, “Yes” smiling back at her and continue my business. Again she asked “What post?” An extended question, I thought. But I answer her anyway. “Sales, erm..bank” I said. “Oh, financial executive?” Actually I am not sure about what actually the posts offered. I just answer “Yeah..something like that”. Obviously, I am not prepared(not even the real interview yet). “Oh, it is just like what I do, I just applied XYZ bank last month, not long after that, I got the job, based on commission, the more harder you work, the more commission you get”. A statement. I responded as “oh.” I want to know more, so I asked “ Are you working on weekends like Saturdays and Sundays?” I just asked random question. “Flexible working hour, but must check in to the office everyday ( this type of job required you to go out to meet clients). It reminds me of an earlier job description in an earlier interview I went before. I realized that I have to make a move as I have completed my documents arrangement(I don’t know how to extend further question for a conversation for a person whom I just met about 10 minutes ago)..”Oh, I gotta go” I said. I don’t know why at that moment I gave her a thumb-up. “Oh ok, good luck” she said.”Ok, thanks” I replied. So, MT and I went off.

Scene 2: At the interview building

I met a young lady, 2 years my senior. It happened to be my senior in my uni. In less than an hour, I knew her story. I mean, her experience in finding jobs, why she continued her Masters and how she ended up going to the interview. I feel I havent make friends like that for years and I realised I havent met someone that I instantly can make friends with. Maybe it is just to steady the nerves. But, I enjoyed talking to her. Funny stories never fail. We exchange numbers(as a result she asked for an FB page which I have none, so rather than awkwardness takes place, she let me write my number). Maybe, just maybe, we may share some infos..in the future. After she completed hers, she shared what the question was like..which is really helpful. Thank you.

Other than that, there are few things which randomly occurred. Okay, my stomach ache so bad right after the writing test (moral of the story:DO NOT EAT TOO MUCH BEFORE AN INTERVIEW)..So..I don’t think it is appropriate to mention here..First at the bank! Oh my someone spill a blood on my resume. Damn stapler!

P/s: thanx Missy M for the info!

Job Hunting: False Alarm

About two weeks ago, I've been called by my work supervisor asking me if I am available for work. Of course I am available. I feel such joy in my heart. But the only thing that I don't know, she only asked me to find out if I am available or not which means only one, to FIND OUT. I thought I have been offered (for sure, confirm, ni kali la). So, this morning I received a message from a friend whom I known during my internship. She gave me a message saying that there will be a briefing tomorrow. But, I haven't receive any updates on this matter. A little heart attack (more like heart ache..I'm in vain..) So I asked MT to find out which means to call for assurance ( as i am afraid or shy as a result of the little heart attack)..Yep, that's it. This world is not as 'beautiful' as it may seems. It appears that they will choose candidate by batch..oh okay then. I thought I am included in the first batch(when reality hits..). I don't know.. something about 1st batch, 2nd batch..100th batch which I thought was more of a grading system. But, oh well, that's fine. Maybe it was not meant to be. Looking at the bright side of it, this actually give me some time to venture new opportunities. New challenges, new opportunities. It's not fair for me to give up or be disappointed on myself (it's not fair for everyone). So, I decided to move on, keep on searching for other jobs. This is just the beginning..

(*_*) Oh look!

MT and I went to Daiso yesterday, the RM5 store. I don't know, there is something about Daiso that I really like. Obviously the products and things are so cute!kawaeeee (the typical word for those who like..ehem2..cute things. I swear I don't use this word regularly). It reminds me of something so peaceful and beautiful Japanese home-style(especially the decoration and ornaments).

Anyways, I really like to do my window shopping at this Japanese store. I usually picked up things that I think are necessary(I convinced myself) as I was charmed by the cuteness it displayed but I ended up putting it back because I realized I can be simply over-budget when everything is RM5 ( the thickness of my purse gradually reduced and become more of a 'flat-looking' pouch). If compared to other shops I can get the same thing for RM 2.50. I think they should consider some of the things half priced! Like the Kedai Dua Ringgit. But it is an undeniable fact that the store has things that are rare and again..kawaeeeee( I swear this is only the 2nd time i use the word in the internet). So as we were observing things in the games/toy section, we came across a very weird toy ( or cards..I still think it is a toy)..


MT is prone to things that are absurd and weird. I told him it might probably just cards for kids (age range: 6 to 10).And then we saw this.


He thinks that when we rub our fingers like this..wala! there is a smoke coming out towards the air!


I have a higher expectation, it will poof a smoke and probably will have a smokey goblin apparition.

We purchased it.

We've tried it as soon as we got home. It has some kind of glue sticking at the back of the card. We applied it and like the label says, I will have a smoke at my fingertips. Yeah, more like 'debu-debu di udara'.




Actually..we did not go that far.. Just another stuff we get out of curiosity. No intention to be a magician either. Rm 5 for an unlikely trick. Kawae? I guessed not.

Kuku Time!

I did my nails the other night when I was so bored and don't know what to do. Instead of thinking what I cannot do, I started to do what I can do randomly. So I reached my nail colors and I started to paint my nails. At first I don't know what pattern I would apply. So I search some from youtube and came across julie713. I think her pattern are so cool and simple.So I give it a try but with my own personal touch.=)For this pattern I just use 2 colors, pink and black.




I get this mini nail art brush from Daiso for RM5. For 2 years I've been searching for affordable nail art brush! The cheaper the better. Hehe.It comes in a small packet like this. Each brush has different size..But for me it kind of look the same. I wonder when I will use the rest.


I wanted so bad to have Julie's nail pattern.But the problem is my nail is short and very small. And I am not pro when it comes to use my left hand. So, the next day, I hired my mom as a model.hehe. Nahh, just the hands.Just to see how it looks in full set of nails!





I really get inspired by the animal print especially zebra print. I'm not really into rhinestones because I think it may fall off when I am doing my laundry/housework. For fully painted nail, the worst it can get is just the color may washed off..but hey, you can still paint it anytime.

I wonder if it is appropriate for work? Just another random thing I do when I have no other better things to do. =D

Job Hunting: Dilema + Frustrated+ get over+hope=?

I have missed many interviews. So far I missed three.not too much? Well, actually I decided not to go. I decided not to take it. I don't know why, i always being offered for the position that I did not apply for. If it is not too much, i often being called for job that is lower than my qualification. I don't want to be picky about work. But, when i think about it,considering all the values and expenses..I think it's not worth it.. I am getting frustrated with all the "what ifs".

This is one reason but there are many reasons to consider when you opt for a job no matter how attractive the salary might be. I am considering my values and what I have to do to get the right opportunity. Maybe it is not for me.Maybe He has a plan for me. Let's hope for the best.

Afternoon ramblings

I just came back from church and meeting some friends. I just feel very tired today. I am the driver today. I wonder why, he keep on bugging me while I am driving. Hey I only in charge once in a while. If you are reading this, I'm only try to be nice. I give you freedom and be my guest. I am not trying to be the guy okay. Oh, thanks for accompanying me to church today. I hope someone will lit our candles for us. Thanks for accompanying me to the car wash centre. I know I am lazy. But I have the initiative to make my car clean. I don't know what happen if I'm at the driver's seat for a week and you are my passenger. Chaos and non-stop ramblings. Our personality and behavior will change. Maybe being a lady driver is always a challenge. Are you testing me? Despite all the havoc, I have a great time with you. I know we are tired. Tired of thinking and responding in a normal way,it's fun to act abnormal once in a while. It's a normal day, but I have fun in the midst of tiredness.Thanks for making my day. =)

Mary..did u know?

Advent will come soon. Another 1 month to Christmas Day. I've listened to many Christmas songs before but I can't get bored listening to this one. Mary Did You Know covered by Kutless. Enjoy.

Helo Again.

I haven't put something in this blog for quite awhile. Maybe because of many things going on or perhaps I'm just lazy to write something. What happened during the past few weeks:

~Convocation
I finally get my degree! I've been preparing my convo thingy for about a month before the date (10.10.10). Many things to get done such as finding out what to wear,where to take studio photo, what shoes, etc..I have fun.

~Attending family occasions:
-Weddings
This is the time for me to know who are my relatives (which I seldom meet). I take the opportunity to observe things so I can plan my own wedding program!

-Funeral
My grandaunt has come to the Lord on 7.10.2010. I am shocked by the news I received. We even went to hospital in the middle of the night. The doctor said everything will be ok. But after we got home, we found out from my aunty that grandaunt will not be able to make it. A few hours later, she passed away. All of a sudden she had gone just like that.

Looking at the bright side of it, this is the time where I realizes the place I grew up and to be a part of a family. I know who are my relatives, how are the family ties connected, meeting those who I have not seen for years.Most importantly, what we can do to support each other in time like this.

~Job Hunting
This is my biggest issue right now. Went to several interviews but I haven't succeed in getting even one single job in my hands. I guess it is not my opportunity. It is not planned for me.

~Miscellaneous
-Getting a new ID photo
At last. My plan to change my ID photo. I take this 'long holiday' to get a new one to replace the old childish looking ID which I regret taking it with barely ready look.For years my ID is my picture with a wet long hair which is nearly dry.It looked a little bit greasy in my ID.So, I guessed I bring the wet look to a new level. I blamed the photographer for his incredibility to take pictures. Hope to get the new one next week!

- Format my laptop
I am frustrated because I have lost all my album photos.My dinners' photos, my trip to island, my internship trips, etc... so so frustrated. I should make a backup data or get an external to keep my things in place.

-Attending church activities
A talk that I have attended organized by the youth (young adults) about Theology of the Body). I only went to it's last session after being pursued by my very close friend.Message from Pope John Paul II. It's about men and women on how to treat and understand ourselves and our body. Very good session. Other than that, I enjoyed prayer meetings too.

~Opted for new hobbies:
-Craft-making
Recently, I have drawn to craft-making. I discovered quilling. It's like a paper that you have to roll and make new shapes from it.

-Doodling
I am inspired by a youtuber named Haiying who makes doodling as a way to ease your mind and to produce arts with no boundaries, no perfection. I have started mine too.

That is what I basically do for these past few weeks. I try to do something worth living for. I realized there are many things that I haven't look into during my student years especially the things I have back home. There are some things I wish I did when I was still a student.Right now I just want to enjoy what I do, with what I have.
