Friday Sun

11.30pm Fridae 25th August 2006


I went to a job interview at suntec this morning, took the train to city hall from there i walk my way to suntec. Juz like any other male working subject walking beside me, i was wearing a dark blue tie coupled with neatly ironed shirt and pants, finally nicely decorated with a pair of brightly polished leather shoes..hai.. business pple calls it 'formal wear' and guess like some legitimated law, those candidates who failed to comply will be known to have a sloppy attitude and deem unsuitable for the job. Hmm since when our ability is first judged by the clothes we wear? Felt like i am prostituting myself in return for a job.

Okey maybe i am exaggarating, maybe its the tie.. cant breathe~ argh :P Oh, did i mention i hope i can get the job? YES pls give me the job!

Maybe i do need a breather, so i went straight to east coast meeting kenneth to kayak. And thank who ever u are up there for giving us such a great weather! Sunshine at its very best, at least i get to see a huge sandcastle and kenneth mutating to giant walkng lobster!

After kayak went Subway for dinner, and slept my way home on bus 851.

Forgetful Turtle

630pm 16th August 2006


Didnt realised its been 13 days since i last updated my blog until i saw the date on top. Pretty stoned now, cldn't recall the precise things i did or anything that has happened during this period of time really, feels like I've juz woke up from a coma. Wat the hell is happening...?

Juz reached home from my 3rd job interview of the week. The 1st interview on Mondae was for the position of Web Marketing Executive with Mediacorp, tho i wld prefer them to change it to Web Master instead coz guess all they really need is a dreamweaver savvy person to maintain the webpage for them, nuthin much really. The 2nd interview with SoundBuzz yesterdae as the name suggests was very interesting. I went there for the position of Content Coordinator, a job that really interests me alot and i do believe i have alot to offer as well. However this job requires relevant working experience they probably wld not consider me since i am fresh grad. Sigh. But i am gonna still prepare for the SQL test tho juz in case if they REALLY do call...juz maybe need to recall the SQL stuff i have learned during year one.

The 3rd interview todae was at Genesys Conferencing for the role of the Marketing Executive. The manager who interviewed me was a former SIM University of London graduate as well~ He mentioned that he was the one who started the SIM soccer competition, ha my very own senior. I remember Fairuz was asking me to form a team, guess i was too busy to join then. what am i busy wif exactly? Cant remember as well... Back to the interview. "Define Marketing" he asked. Cant believe i struggled wif a simple textbook question. Despite all the preparations, i still missed out the most simple and straightforward of them all. Argh! But somehow subconsciously, I managed to squeezed out some Marketing concepts i recall memorizing like hell during my exams 2 years ago T_T. Pray I didnt screw things up again.

At the end of the day i still do hope that i get either the Content Coordinator job wif SoundBuzz or the Marketing Executive job wif Genesys. Either both i will be really happy =) Give Turtle a chance to fly will ya?!

okey, I probably noe my chances la... T_T "

Juz to share two songs, One is my all time fav 你把我灌醉 by 黄大伟 (Thks Jan) and the other one is climbing up my all time favourites chart at a really alarming rate, Tears and Rain by James Blunt (Thks Keryn).

Songs that never fails to calm my restless mind...


你把我灌醉（黄大伟）

开　往城市边缘开
把车窗摇下来　用速度换一点痛快
孤单　被热闹的夜赶出来
却无从告白　是你留给我的悲哀
哦　爱　让我变得看不开
哦　爱　让我自找伤害

你把我灌醉　你让我流泪
扛下了所有罪　我拼命挽回
你把我灌醉　你让我心碎
爱得收不回

猜　最好最坏都猜
你为何离开　可惜没有答案
对我　你爱得太晚
又走得太快　我的心你不明白
哦　爱　让我变得看不开
哦　爱　让我自找伤害

我梦到那里你都在　
怎么能忘怀 你那神秘的笑脸　
是不是说 放不下你是我活该

Tears and Rain -- James Blunt

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

Singapore Pools

1025pm August 3rd 2006

Not sure why, time passes by pretty fast this week. Some weeks pass by so fast there isn't time for things to be done, while some weeks are so ridiculously slow that more than many occassions I felt aimless and lost, there were even times whr i question my very existance, which was pretty depressing. This week however, everything begins and happens on the right note, nice. =)

Spent the whole Sundae and Mondae sending resumes, taking v careful this time to avoid positions that says "Sales and Marketing Executive 5 Day week (Town Area)". Dunch wanna go thru another walk in the jungle of madness again. Expectedly, minus the all sales positions, I onli received one call this week for a possible job interview. Hmm but this one sounds pretty interesting tho, Content Management Executive with the Singapore Pools. Seriously i have no idea wat is it abt, but i do noe that it requires me to be competent in Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. Think i shld be able to cope ba~

I was told to give them 2 poster designs relevant to Singapore Pools. So i came out wif these. Hopefully these 2 posters are enough to land me the job~
