New Beginning

4th day and I think I am feeling good! =)

I quite like the new workplace, new colleagues and new job scope but I am still adjusting myself to it. The feeling is so much better than the previous one. My mum said all I did was complain and complain everyday after work from the previous job. Hahaha. After the bad experience, I finally realised that it is important to do something which you are interested in and not just any other jobs as things may get worst instead.

I managed to take a photo of half of my desk. Shall take more next Monday and show you guys the very high tech phone that they are using. The phone with super good connection that you can even answer it when you are in the other building. Hahaha.

Juliana, my boss, is a pretty nice lady. She really taught me things from scratch as she knew that I had no marketing background and told me that she will let me learn from the basics so that I know what are the ground works in this job before proceeding on.

Tasked with planning itinerary for a group of customers, designing a brochure for the company, sourcing for new ideas of gifts and meeting up with the respective vendors is definitely something new to me and very challenging. This 6 mths will probably be a good chance for me to pick up new skills and be a platform to entering the marketing line and industries other than an association. ^ ^

Was on the transport to Jurong East today and I dont quite feel like heading home.. Messaged friends to ask them out.. Muahahah.. In the end, I headed to AMK to meet Gene and Bang joined subsequently. It was a nice meet up. Catching up and all the lame mind games kept us laughing nonstop. ^ ^ It's been quite awhile since the real 38 club meet up, wonder if that day will ever come again. Haa.

Something which I did from the new Mcdonalds monopoly game. Hahaha. Check it out.
"NEW" Mr Mcdonalds saying Hi~~

School has been demoralising every now and then and at times, so so feel like giving up. Sighs. The communication modules are tough la! I hope I can make it through this semester. Shall head to the library tomorrow.

Good News? Maybe.

I so so feel like whining so if you are not interested, you can press atl + F4. =) I think the problem that lies with me is that I hope to get a permanent full time job instead of being offered a temporary or contract job. That probably is the concern of many people?

I have been thinking it through today after the interview, they told me that its gonna be a 6-7mths contract position with possibility of converting to a permanent job (again). This time round the offer seems much much better than the CDL one. It is position dealing with marketing communications and assisting in the various aspect of marketing and abit of communications in the sense that they do require the candidate to do writing for newsletter and brochure. Definitely something related to what I am studying.. The timing and all is good but its location is farrrrr. It is at Tuas. -.-" The coy is a german mnc dealing with automotive spare parts and this is something new to me. Alot to learn.

I always believe that in life, when good things happen, bad things will happen too. In chinese, people always say "有得必有失" and i seriously find it very true. Because in this case, the job scope is what I feel like trying out and the working hours are good too (they actually have a choice of 9-6 or 8.15 to 5.15) BUT... this is a contract job and its located at Tuas. Damn. Why do one always need to make sacrifices for good things(I consider it a good thing since I have been offered a job for something which I always wanted to try out)? How irony but true. It makes me feel as though I am caught in a dilemma, yet once again. Irritating. I wonder why such process always have to repeat. In any case, the details of the contract has not been finalised yet so, lets see how it goes on Monday. I shall in the meantime, continue going for other interviews. =x

Had a hectic day today, from Science Park to Tuas to home to Holland V to home. Went for interviews and headed home. Met up with Jo and Zann for Jo's bday surprise. Hope you like it Jo! Haha.. =DD It's nothing very fanciful but I think it's nice to be able to spend the special day with someone close to us, so I told Zann that the best surprise would probably be Ryan turning up as our special guest. Hehehe and she agreed! Great minds think alike! Muahahaha. So girl, once again, now that the clock had striked 12 long ago, I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday! Enjoy yourself on this day. =)

*Joke of the day*
The Breko waiter was funny. The 3 of us stood there like fools when we asked the waiter to help us take a picture. We told him how to function the camera and he said ok.. so all 3 of us were smiling to be ready for the picture. Ended up, the guy press and stop, press and stop, and finally said that he cannot take the picture as nothing was captured. Guess what.. the guy took a video of the 3 of us, smiling there like 3 statues for a good 30sec - 1min. Faint. A replay of the video would definitely make us laugh out loud. =P
