Today's title seems to be abit off. Its not the usual lovelorn moan of mine. but more to the general version of it.
WHERE IS THE LOVE..?
Just finished my MRO 2nd interview on Saturday. I met Merry Riana! In case anyone doesn't know, she's one of Singapore's self-made millionaires at the age of 25. But also, its nothing to hype about someone's else personal success.
I believe that instead of thinking that she can do it and so can I, I prefer to think that I would rather delve in on my own and create my own goal for myself. Millionaire or not, I would be happy.
So what happened in the interview? Cannot disclose. But one thing to say is, I really enjoyed myself with the new company they I've not had since so long. But one stupid rule in the interview was the idea of no private exchanging of contact details, in case of attempted conflict of interests. But what could be said for this poor soul here who wished to befriend some new friends. Damn.
So what interviews do I have this week?
CSIT - Wednesday
MRO - Friday
Wish me best.

Welcome to the SVF Movement!
I really wanna say this out loud to whoever in my family is causing me this unhappy night.
STOP VIRUS FARMING!!!
You can farm creeps/grubs for all I care in online gaming, but please, don't farm viruses in the shared computer!!!
You know how freaking retard is it to sit up at this time of the night solving shit caused by people who don't give a shit? and expect others to clean up the shit for ya. Argh. Wait till I find out who is the joker...!
Just because of you, I'm having pop-ups all over my screen and the computer illiterates asking me what is going on, why does so many things happen when I come back..?
I just did a complete scan 2 weeks ago and zero hits, now i get >40 hits!!!

Rise and Shine.
Another month is going to be over soon.
But I'm not depressed or discouraged as still being unemployed. But in the meantime, according to friends alike who have given me precious advice on the perils of working life, I thank you.
1. Enjoy whatever time you have right now, cuz when u start working, you gonna slog like fuck.
- Well, if I'm going to embark on a career, it has to be satisfying to me, else I would just call it a job, not a career. To me, if it is something interesting to do and something that can further allow me to enrich my life further, why not? Even if I have to journey to some freaking far industrial area, work 2 shifts, I will do it, but only it the job has any benefit to building up my career.
2. What do you want to do? IT or Business?
- Seriously, I haven't got a detailed clue, just a vague idea. Why I wanna do IT? Because i still have some interest in it especially in the sales, security and networking areas. Though my programming skills still suck like hell, I'm not afraid to try building it up. I guess thats my main weakness in IT, but to put it in my own words, no weakness, no further gains. As for why I think about pursuing a career in business, well, its a more or less proven fact in Singapore that only through business, money comes rolling in. And management skills can be picked up from business much more readily than other fields where you traditionally work up the chain of seniority. So I guess its still a two way answer. But well, thats why there's such a thing called a double-edged sword right?
3. Aiyah, any job that comes, just take. Do it for the experience.
- True. I agree to this point. But wait a minute. I still have to look at the pay regardless. I don't want to get a damn low pay < 2 K. I might as well just live with a diploma right?

Social woes: Spiralling downwards...
After coming back to Singapore for so long, I still feel so lost.
My social life is gone. Everyday, I'm either reading the news on the wiki, else I'm busy chopping monster mincemeat in CABAL. Besides that, I'm job hunting in jobstreet or jobscentral. I pretty much gave up looking in the Strait Times for work, since their executive position wants experience. How in the world is anyone going to get the experience when :
1. Anything you have slogged during the holidays doesn't really seem to count as experience.
2. The company states fresh grads are welcomed to apply, and follows by knowledge of this and that will be an added advantage.
HOW? HOW? HOW?
One sentence. MY LIFE IS SOMEWHERE NEAR THE DUMPS AS WE SPEAK.
I may sound moody with all these negative posts here, but rest assure, this is the same old guy at work here. Got hit by a small bout of food poisoning yesterday. Maybe I should start sleeping earlier....:)

Woes of a Job Hunter.
Been job hunting for a week and not a positive catch yet.
I sorta think fishing sounds easier. I'm just an average grad. No top grades to count as a achievement. Would I still be wanted in the Singapore society? How would I be able to find my mark?
All these questions lie unanswered as I seek my first job, or my first kill. So what do I do nowadays. In short, I'm tired from all the free time that I have. How should I go about making good use of it when I'm so sian from all this?
What could I do?
1. Get a licence.
2. Join a new art, probably capoeira?
3. Meet up with new people?
