............

Okie.. its been a few days since i write my blog.. obviously, i have been slacking around.. hehe

No lah.. just dont really know what to write these days.. seems there are nothing much interesting to write about.. other than feedbacking on what happen in the office.. kinda boring to state it down here....

A drafting colleague of mine is sick for 2 days.. so today and tomorrow i will be so alone in the container. And its like inside a jail like that... other than drafting.. nothing else.. and dont bother to surf net lah.. that computer is at another table ...

Just take a look at how cramp and loads of stuff this container is...

This is my computer table.....

So cramp and small right??? Just imagine our drawings is A1 or A0 size one leh... where got place to put.. and so many things stacking one another.. so hard to do work...

But this office although small... we've got everything we need..

Maybe you cannot see properly what are there... let me introduce.. there is instant coffee, a tin of assorted biscuits, a tin of butter cookies, mcvites digestive cookies with chocolate coating on top one (very nice), ginseng for heaty days, sweets, packet drinks and water flask for plain water.... used to have cup noodles.. but finish already lah..

Will start to post with pics if available.. hope you have enjoyed this post so far...

I just anyhow hum tum a title lah... dont really think of a good title to put.

With regards to the interview that i have mentioned in earlier post... my buddy actually want me to find out more.. dont want me to get cheated. Find out more on what need to do, what dont need.

As my classmate is the previous one there. I managed to get hold of his phone number thru our class list lol. So with that, i got his handphone number. Basically, i have asked him regarding the job scope. That ADRC ( architectural department resource centre ) will be your baby. you will be fully incharge of maintaining that whole area. You may call yourself a facility or service personel.. your job is to facilitate that place. Especially that resource library. Once a while you have to input with the latest catalogue.. as students needs to find out some construction detailing that they may need for their drawings. This is fine with me. I've been in this industry....

Most important thing i want to say now is that just now... i gave a call to my lecturer who interviewed me... allow me to address him Mr Goh. I expressed my deepest concerns with regards to that TSO position. I am indeed very keen to know about the career prospect.. long term and short term. Will there be things to learn and know and what plans has the school got for the TSO.

Short term wise, there will be lots for that person to do for sure (which is good). And long term, he has plans for sending the TSO for safety officer course (hey.. related to my current industry huh) and is something which i once wanted to take. And of course some other course which he didn't mention.. (can't promise for time being mah).. but he say definitely he can work things out with the TSO.. if he has got things he wants.

Will be working directly under him.. so i guess its ok.. since know him so many years already during studies.

Maybe you can look forward to the mid and year end bonus too... and if you perform well.. there is performance bonus too..

Mr Goh also mentioned that there are a few that went for the interview ( of course lah.. i know can't be only me right? ) hehehe... and the one after me is a 40 plus years old lady (?).. and they are actually looking for someone who is young who tends to work hard and strive for a better future... Mr Goh actually mentioned that they maybe want me.. think maybe like that i have a vouch from them... so now depends on the second formal interview already lo

Prolly next week will receive a call from the HR informing on the second interview already... and the second interview will mostly held this month. Before i go reservist next month.

Mr Goh says just nice lah.. after i reservist come back is nov already.. then can start work there.
Gosh... what does this means.

Actually hor... i dont know how leh.. If really kena the post, quit must one month in advance notice. And if i before october tender my resignation letter.. that makes it just nice. And i still got excess 10, 11 days leaves haven't clear yet leh. So you see huh.. if i come back from reservist.. basically i dont have to go back to work already...

Office tend to like to play cheat something is that they purposely say they didn't receive your resignation letter and i dont know they have to sign before you can be 'approved' resign.

So if in that case, i will make more copies of my resignation letters and i make sure to inform they do.. cos i will emphasis my appointment letter only says i need to give one month's notice.. never say about approve or not approve and i am sure you wont see me again in Nov.

AI YO!

Second interview haven't come yet keep thinking of all these already.... lol. See how things goes first lah.

I am quite looking forward to it actually after the clarification talk with Mr Goh. At least now i make sure i am not sitting there doing nothing... such kind of job is not for me.

Wish me good luck.

Ring ring ring, goes the telephone...

After yesterday's incident... i can say that today really no mood to work... keep thinking about yesterday's interview.. how things will go and will i be called up for the second interview... etc.. i did sleep... cos the blast of the aircon makes me so sleepy... and after the phone chat with another him.

Ya loh.. today huh really in the mixed of feelings.... i have been working so hard for this project already and now its almost towards the construction stage.... I have been thinking of wanting to either quit to change job or switch career path... been last year... last year already went for 3 interviews to see market value.. hehe who knows architect vista still called up to ask if i want to go for an interview at the archi department... but then i pushed away.

I think i am going abit off track now already... you know i am now very nervous....

Just now in the evening, Mr Ng called me.. i am a bit pai sey cos my project manager and another drafting colleague around.. so i didn't really sound very big motions... i didnt even greet Mr Ng.... i didn't call his name lah.. but i say good afternoon... you know later they ask who that person is how? People like to suspect this suspect that one...

Mr Ng called to tell me about the salary that the finance department has proposed.. and see if its acceptable for me. Oh sure of course.. although it didn't fall within my range of expected salary.. but its still.. still slightly slightly a little bit more than my current salary... i think ok lah.

So Mr Ng put up my name to the HoD already and i will await their call to meet up for the second interview with the Principle, Head of departments and Directors etc etc. Scary right!!!! Oh dear... my heart is thumping up and down now... i haven't even rest from yesterday and now come already...... *deep breath*

Depends on how i perform in the interview already. Wish me good luck yea.... ok.. i will just be natural and thats it.. and answer every question steadily.... that should be ok. Right???

I will update here again... I AM SO NERVOUS!

GRIBBIT!!!!!

Gosh..... *gasp*

Today taken leave.. whole day... Morning went for a job interview.. at Singapore Poly.. my old school... and you know what, the place that holds the interview is at workshop 5... just one building away from workshop 5a.. workshop 5a is where we always goes for our lessons one loh.. we also go workshop 5 sometimes lah...

It feels so good to steop into school again.. but then too bad.. school is having holiday at the moment.. thats why its so quiet and seems like on one is around.. maybe its better.. so we dont feel so pressure.. :P

Very surprise when i first enter workshop 5-13.. newly renovated... and i see my lecturer.. Mr Goh S K. Shock to even hear him calling my name... lol.. he still remembers me after all these years... count count count... whow, i have been graduated for 7 years already.. He still remains the same but i can see he has put on a bit of weight already... He's been one of the better lecturers we have had that time.... Sad to hear that most of the lecturers have left already.. Mdm Ling, Low Ee Ser..

Who's still left, Mr Goh, one female teacher (never teach me before but i know her), Idris.. and the famous Zainon...

Interview goes on rather ok and smooth.. anyway its my teacher interviewing me hahaha. Don't feel pressure lah.. very relax.. anyway i've been a good student all those years what.. no black records, and i am among the good students.. hahaha (so thick skin)....

Oh, actually there are 2 interviewers that interviewed me.. Mr Goh and Mr Ng. Both have already been a lecturer since my time there. After a detailed brief thru from them, I get to know what the job scope is about.. Hey its gonna change my life man if i really kenna. As i have ben doing drafting for all these 4 years... this new job is not going to be like that. Apart from daily mandatory job. You get the chance to learn extra new things. Like knowing abit of electrical things.. a little bit of structure things.. a bit of this and that.. and they will put you to course to learn these things as you may need to take over some people's job if they are not around. School may even send you for some other courses to upgrad yourself. If they have some renovation works.. then i will then have the chance to touch on autocad bah. Sometimes school will have booth or exhibitions, or career talks and etc.. and i will have to help design and set up things.. and how one will make it interesting and full of surprises... rather interesting huh.

Not forgetting to mention about the benefits and incentives that they have got to offer for successful candidates... yummy.

I dont know how i will fair. I have been thinking of changing lines.. but been trying hard to see what is the better road i can lead on for the rest of the years. Or maybe animation isn't the better choice for me eventually... as it really need alot of 'money' and experiences.

So what should i do if i am really so heng.... you know quitting from your current job takes alot of courage also leh... some says.. simply just open computer and type a resignation letter and hand in just like that. but say is easy.. so many 'why' why why?? why?? popping out here and there.

There will be a second round of formal interview with the head of department and directors etc etc... scary huh. Do you think i will be enlisted to the list of qualified personnel? Do i have what it takes to become the next TCO? :P Will i fumble upon the formal interview? What can the school give me in return for my giving in of heart and soul to my work and my committment and etc and everything??

See how fate goes lah... its a shaman's thing.... Wish me good luck can already.

I'll just leave it untitled.

Feeling rather lazy these 2 days... yesterday and today. Next week wednesday morning going for a job interview in the morning! So excited yet very nervous.... don't know how things will go... I am not very worried about the interview part.. i dont know how is my mind's direction towards this things... I do have quite a few considerations though.....

Firstly, i do really hope the interview can be a success and i do hope the school wants me.... the problem now is that I have reservist on October.. and for 3 weeks... so if i am really so lucky that the school recruited me, the gonna wait for me till november.. if i quit in time. Do you think the school will wait for me? Some friends told me that they will, as they have to understand that guys do have army committment like ict etc.

Secondly, if i really have so much faith and put in so much good hope for myself, so worried that if things turns out opposite, i will be so disappointed. Buddy ask me if i am keen for this job.. Well yes i do, it is so much different from plain drafting.. i have been doing drafting for 4 years already.. and this is going to be a big change and challenge.. its the post of a technical support officer.. and you got the chance to help out the students.. isn't it good? Sometimes you met problem in drafting and you find various ways to solve it... even if you dont know or not sure.. you explore until you find the answers! I'll like to be a big brother for the students though.. if i am able to impose my drafting skills and knowledge to them... it will be so much benefits. Well.. i am not experts.. and i would not say that 4 years in drafting is very good... but hey.. dont let my 4 years go down to the drains mah.

I am so damn worried.... I hope things can go my way.. Didn't the chinese horoscope during chinese new year mentioned that people who are borned in the year of the goat is doing great this year??? Hey 2006 is coming to an end soon leh.... It did also mention that if goat peeps want to look for a new job they will be able to get it and they can also even get the price they want.... Oh dear oh dear... if its that so true! I will be so damn lucky then!

I am really very worried now... Is it lack of confident?

I will have more things to worry about later on.... I will write again!

Fridae night, is the night, feel alright!

Well.... today suppose to meet up with him one. Last week he mentioned that why not we meet up the following week, which is this week and he mentioned friday or saturday... and i suggested friday cos after work mah can meet and saturday i got work also and i dont think he wanted to meet at afternoon right?

Yesterday night he never came online in msn.. ok nevermind, i messaged to him asking whats our plan for today. He said sorry and he can only meet me next time (never say when) and he is not in a good mood. I find that these tops really got a way to deal with things huh. Not in a good mood means to tell you not to disturb them anymore, dont bother to expect me to answer you anymore other questions. Cos i am not in a good mood! /claps.. ok. I am guessing he must have been either rejected by other guys or he has an appointment with some other guys.

Well, i think i have come up with this conclusion that next time i see him, i will find a way to express my feeling. I'll just tell him that i dont want to waste his time or my time. Since so far by now.... i can't sense he has got any feelings for me... or even a slight interest, other than sex. Someone who can't even bother to tell you why he is not in a good mood. Which clearly means that you are not someone who can share his problems.. even slight small minor ones. So do you think there are anymore other things to talk about? other than sex.

I am really not the one for you. I find that i am really not suitable for you. I don't think i am good enough so far. I've tried giving ourselves a chance to explore. But it seems that nothing could work. There are leak holes somewhere. We really lack communication (apart from the sex talks on the phone).. I've already expressed my view for my ideal partner. Communication is a very important factor in a relationship. And so far, i dont think that we have communicated enough though. I've tried. Even sms-ing doesn't work. Or maybe there is really nothing much we can talk about. I am not handsome, i am not cute, i dont have a nice well shaped up body. If you are really looking for someone that i have mentioned above, then sorry.

I'll rather we speak it out and lay down things clearly, than wasting our time, right? Don't you agree?

I am not brining myself low. Just that if we are serious, we wouldn't have ended up like that now.

God bless you and yours.

P.S. We can still remains as friends though, if you wish too. If not, i am, by all means, alright and i'll go with your decisions.
