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 I called again and withdrawn my application.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.

My Donkey

Remember the annoying, big mouthed yet good in nature Donkey in Shrek and Shrek 2? Can you remember any friends that resembles the Donkey? And seriously, I DO NOT MEAN PHYSICALLY!!! Recently, I've come to realized that there are lots of " Donkeys " in my life. Don't feel offended if I'm referring anyone as a donkey, coz do put in mind that at the same time, I'm an Ogre too. Yep, it's funny how some friends tend to annoyed us so much that we would like to tell them to shut their mouth sometimes! They will keep on going just to keep us annoyed even you've give out all the possible signals and hints that you're really not in the mood to join in their play. But their patience is somewhat last for eternity. They'll follow you around just to keep you in their watching distance. Although some may not resembled the loud Donkey in Shrek, but they do have other ways to annoy you. I have this particular friend who were so choosy and annoying, and somet...

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 ...

Random...

Just went up to Doulos wiv Mum, Paul and Kenny. The last time I went was around 15 year ago. But there weren't Mum, Paul or even Kenny. I was there with Leonard and Dad. Suddenly i missed the old times so much where Dad and Leonard is still around at home. Things have changed alot. Same ship, different companions, different feelings. Life has come a long way for me, and perhaps for everyone that i know. If only I can turned back time, I'll appreciate more all the times that we had, late night's chat, joking around and poking fun at each other . But again, that's human being's weakness--always take things for granted. You wouldn't realized how important a person in your life, or how fortunate to have experienced some things, until you lose it all. I've decided to go abroad. All the tests, the procedures, everything... sigh... it's a long way to go. I'm currently waiting excitingly for the coming school holidays, because that's the only time that I...
