Negative Morning
Someone made me wanna add arguments in my cover letter to show that CCA/Social Activities are also a form of experience and definitely hardwork! Someone from job agency tried to bullshit to me!
It all started with a resume i sent... i saw this executive assistant job with good pay, so i just sent my resume to try luck... the same day in the afternoon when i was going out to Jacky's place, someone called, i immediately thought it was Jacky and was trying to ask him whether his place was raining in my opening sentence.... then an unfamiliar voice replied me... then i realised its not Jacky.. He was the guy i emailed regarding the job... the unusual opening to our conversation led to a good ending, when he asked me if i want to join his company instead, then he will refer me to his colleagues. I was quite happy becos its the first reply after sending out some resumes.
2 days later, which is today [just now] someone called... and i woke up immediately from dreamland to answer his call... he was telling me that he was reading thru my resume and would like to know what kind of jobs i'm looking... then i said maybe HR [becos i assumed this is a follow up call, recruitment = HR right?] anyway he told me off by saying i have no experience, difficult even though some companies don't mind fresh graduates...then suddenly say got 1 accounts assistant position, don't need ACCA qualifications one, and don't mind fresh graduate one...and keep nagging at me that i don't have experience don't have experience blah blah blah... then why not consider the job....and after all the negative comments, he say he is not trying to push the job to me ask me consider... which sounds bullshiting to me... you were obviously derailing me and trying to push sales... and he asked me what other jobs i like to look for... i said events... then he say same thing no experiences... then i said i wanna use some experience i've gained from my social activities to the job i gonna do, events is one of the things i always do...then he said its just CCA... wah this is really too much... the fact that i'm fresh, my resumes really got nothing much to write... i include my social activities and my achievement with the groups.... and above all those are hard work! what do you mean by its just CCA.... so its just for kids level..not good enough to be considered.... at least i have something to write about... lastly he asked me to get back to him if i'm interested in the accounts assistant job... anyway, i don't even remember that fellow's name..... he didn't even made it clear at the start...mumbled his name to me...
i feel so so so wanna write in the cover letter to respect work, especially voluntary work! anyway in case i was too naggy and you didn't know why i nagging now... its simply becos of the 'its just CCA' comment... others contents of conversation, i'm still ok... cos i know its part of his job to push sales... lol.... he stepped on my tail when he don't recognise my efforts in volunteering....
whatever lah, i will still continue my quest of the JOB~

Job Hunting
Job Hunting!
I've been looking over and over again thru' jobcentral, jobstreet, monster, etc.... nothing seems interesting and suitable... maybe not all but most... hmm... i'm looking for a career, not play play one... not studying so soon until i save enough... so i hope to concentrate on career first... in the reality experiences and qualification counts... i have neither...
Things i consider:
Job scope - i'm more of interested in education, events, marketing, tourism, and some customer service related jobs... but i'm really open for opportunities...
Company - the size of company equivalent to my future career advancement... i don't mind working for small firms but they must have the qualities to be big...
Salary - this determines how much i can save for my studies and how much i'm left with to spend... important~!
Location - after 'working' 1 yr 10 months in the extreme east... i truely know how travelling time matters and how killing it can be to travel long hours... so location must be accessible... bukit panjang's buses can go central, north, south and marine parade the furthest... kekez...
sent resume for national education executive, a job which is based in schools to do coordination and planning of events and NE in school, which is something i have been doing... but my qualification is lower than expected, and till now no reply... so... kekez... should be gone case...
sent resume to STB, which was recommended by a volunteer friend..but i think also gone case liao...
other 'on hold' jobs are, events coordinator at rasa sentosa, customer service officer at singtel, marketing executive for various firms...
at the rate of development, i think i will end up working part time job first... cos i'm gonna be super broke very soon~
i'm super duper 'fan2' ah~!
if got any jobs you think suitable for me...please let me know... i assume most of you know my pattern and know whats suitable... kekez *cross fingers*

CPL no more~ ORD Loh!
CPL no more~ ORD loh~!
finally out of military life... I am a Mister once again~! No more Rank + Name! At least not in the near future, since my next In Camp Training won't come so soon... 1 year 10 months of drama comes to the end.... it was really dramatic lah... full of episodes...
Episode 1: The Enlistment
like everyone, day 1 is always full of uncertainty and anticipation... the new friends, the new rules, the new place and the damn new head...!
Episode 2: The First Bookout
its like some kind of BIG day... everyone was so happy and excited.... its is even so because we got to bookout 3 days after enlistment...all thanks to the malay community! Selamat Hari Raya~! But the military rules always dampen our moods.... must sign this and that, got a good 'lecturing' before we could book out for less than 20 hours....
Episode 3: Worse Birthday
my worse birthday.... no songs no presents, no loved one... because i'm still a bloody recruit! and my luck was damn down that day... my platoon kena punished for stupid things...
Episode 4: My Riffle and my Buddy!
I am a peace lover, but hahaha firing the 1st shot was damn exciting... bang bang~! the buddy system sometimes really cocked up... especially when you and your buddy can't get a long... but luckily mine was fine...and i also found myself another buddy, Mr See!
Episode 5: First Outfield
It was raining day and night.... walking uphill down hill....
Episode 6: Muzzle Affairs
Damn bad luck... I kept reminding myself and others to keep their muzzle properly... but i ened up losing mine secretly... i really did kept it properly... somehow it disappeared...
Episode 7: Sucky Doctor
10 hours of waiting.... 30mins in the consultation room... only 5 mins of attention... and 1 stupid comment... i tasted the lousiness of military's medical services....
Episode 8: POP
Things weren't what i saw all the while... some people were obviously acting... and i was graded one of the lowest in one of the peer appraisals... many people doubted my abilities... and i was nearly disqualified to continue my route... just because some people graded my low in 1 peer appraisal.... the contradicting thing is that my platoon peer appraisal was okay and considered good... its all because they want to achieve their best interest.... anyway i still passed out and could continue after much trouble...
Episode 9: Sniper Attack
weapons and weapons....all day long.... cleaning and greasing, cleaning and greasing.... thats a routine of a weaponman... but it was an eye opener to be able to see and fire so many weapons... even those that we see only in games came real... the best was still during the sniper course... it was such a privilege to use it... and the experience of making and wearing of the geeli suit was memorable...
Episode 10: Airborne!
right left, right left, jump! it was more thrilling than any thrill rides and it doesn't make me motion sick.... i've got a silver wing upon my chest~ yeah~
Episode 11: Pain and Suffering
Injured myself during a live descent... but had to carry on with training... didn't realise it so serious until the pain wins my mind...
Episode 12: Ugly people
People around me turned ugly.... they think i faked my injury, they think i chao keng... they think i've got a lousy attitude... no one was there for me.... Only i can save myself....
Episode 13: New Work
3 months after injury, i was posted out.... and my new job is still within the camp...which i was really reluctant to join... partly because of injury secondly because of the ugly people... being inthe same camp, means i still have to face them... sad~ but things were slightly better at the new place, even though there were still ugly people making life difficult...
Episode 14: Surgery
Finally after 10 months... i got to treat my ligament injury.... it was another level of suffering.... i've got only my loved ones.... frankly there wasn't many who cared.... and the pain was more than i expected...
Episode 15: Final Stage
Life was more peaceful, and was like after storm... after resting at home for 4 months odd, i returned to work... and things were smoother than i thought.... very soon the ORD came~
