Twist and Turn

Phew!

It was an exciting day to be say in comparison to the previous Fridays I have.

A call from a private university which I've sent my resume weeks earlier has finally replied, and offered me an interview. The first reaction was "WHAT?!! Are you sure?". It was hysterical as I dreamed bout a job like this for ages. I told the caller to give me 30 minutes to reply. Somehow, I managed to call Sandz, Mum and Sylvia for consultation. I agree to go for the interview.

Then, suddenly it hit me, hey, I will still be new on the job. Can I actually ask for a leave on the 3rd day of my new job? That would be ugly on me. Sigh.. frustration and indecisiveness was all over mind. What the hell was I thinking? What if I didn't get the job?

I chatted with a few friends more to ask for their opinion. JP replied me truthfully, does the "U" have good reputation for the faculty? Or better still, does the "U" actually have good reputation? Hmm... yeah. I didn't think bout that.

So I Googled up the Uni and shockingly, the reputation was terrible. Even the staffs (lecturers and tutors) voiced their frustration bout the Uni. Out of hundreds of comments and feedback to a blog bout that particular uni, only a tiny fractions that actually have positive comments bout it. It just doesn't feel good after all that.. Tell me if I'm being skeptical.

So, at approximately 3:50 pm. I called again and withdrawn my application. I will never know how it will be for that job. But at least I felt good that I keep my current new job.

Well, so near, yet so far. Maybe I will just try again with a better uni in the future.

don't worry Shar... I've been in headhunting long enough to know that there are plenty of opportunities out there.

I trust your decision was the best you could make yesterday.

It's a test to see if we're decisive enough and actually take the effort in weighing the pros and cons.

Take care!

I guess so Sandz. But can't help to feel a little bit of loss bout it. As I said, so near, yet so far.

Perhaps I should just love my new job and progress well with it.

Thanks for all the support all this while.

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

Crossroads

Life is about choices.. Choices about how you want to run your life, what principles that you hold, what career you are heading in the future. Perhaps, now is a time where tough choices are ahead for me. Both family and friends have their own saying about what is the best. So, what's the best for me? I'm easily influenced by persuasion, and i usually give in easily. Sometimes ever so reluctantly, i followed what people asked or wanted me to do. I do not have much consideration of what I want in the first place. For this, I've been wasting more than a year now, which could easily turned out to be an interesting year for me to proceed to my dreams. A year of frustration, a year of uncertainty, and a year of lost chances. The 6 months in Melaka wasn't the best in my life. Some might say it's just a short period in your life. But in reality, I've lost alot of chances in this 6 months time. Work, study, career, even my relationship. Every person in my life has their

Liars in Training

I was really surprised how young kids at the age of 7 & 8 lied and giving excuses for not handing in their homework. 3 kids today gave me unreasonable and of course unbelievable excuses. Case 1: "I have the book. But when i went to buy drinks in the canteen, someone took my book from my bag. After I go back home to finished the exercise, I couldn't find it.... even my Mum couldn't find it. Really!" "emm hm....?" "But just now, when i reached the class, I found the book in my bag. I dunno how it get there, but i'm really sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Really.." "so...?" "Erm... that's why i didn't finish the exercise, cause it's just not enough time for me to finished it." she said with the sweetest smile u can ever imagine. " Can I call your mum now?" In the shortest moment, the cute little girl burst into tears. There goes the far from perfect lie.. Case 2: " My mum brought me to
