Taking a break
Okay i know i shouldnt be blogging at this time.. but was just taking a break and settling some online stuffs for my europe trip and saw some of my friends' blogs..
Everyone was blogging about their last lesson, last presentation, etc etc about NBS, haha so think i should talk a bit about it as well? Seriously the thought of blogging about it didnt even cross my mind, maybe cause i feel i'm quite detached from NBS even after spending 3 years here and doing countless of presentations...
I think i can blog about CAC better... Think i will feel more when its the last day of CAC... NBS is just part of my Uni life i guess... i think i spend more time doing CAC stuffs this whole 3 years den i did for NBS... So not as much feeling for it i guess... and i think i know more people from CAC den in NBS as well...
Anyway i failed it for friends who still didnt know.. STB rejected me... Damn... the e mail aptly went into the junk mail. seemingly knowing that i wouldnt want to view it... i was really anyhow clicking before i come across it. previous emails from the same STB HR person didnt end up in the junk mail, so donnoe why this time round it did. but still... i think god wants me to know of it soon instead of waiting pointlessly and trying to comfort myself that there should still be a chance... otherwise i wouldnt go visit the junk mail, something that i would probably just do once in 2 months???
Maybe the closing of one door is to force me to look at another that is already opened? Or maybe its to ask me to try go open another that could possibly lead me to where i should be in life???
Anyway these few days no time to think about it.. So much to study and having not enough time doesnt help... still need to prepare for my grad trip!!! Haa.. luckily f helps me to settle some things that i would otherwise drag haa... thanks!!
well guess i got just some things more here and dere to pack, otherwise i'm ready to fly!!! Actually i think it would really be good if i can have a bit more time after exams before i fly so that can do somethings that i would like to do which i cant do now... i want to play MJ... i want to exercise also.. want to do some cleaning up at home... want to go out with Gary and Co from NBS.. haa even though i dont feel very attached to NBS, but i still gotta thanks gary and co for being my group mates for so many presenting grps haa.
guess we already got good synergy... Not all people can accomodate to our style of slacking and heck care attitude but yet still buck up at the last minute and clinching "A"s for our presentations.. haha... Seriously i think we always manage to carry it off even with poor preparation!!
yea alot of things about life in NTU suddenly flood back.. but now no time to blog about it.. i guess i will have alot of time during my 8hrs transit at DOHA and when i'm in europe... stay tune to this blog cos its gonna be exciting soon!!!

Another 30 days...
Well... went for the interview today...
Nothing very dramatic happened... very normal.. Is it because i went for many many interviews before already that this one seems like just another one?
But i must say, in the "normalness" that i feel... there is something not as normal... Questions asked were similar in general except for a few.. and i answer them the way i would answer any other interviewers from Big 4 or MOE. But some how i can sense that they were just not satisfied enough. Perhaps, this group of interviewers want more than that. More than the ability to give politically correct and nice answers (that i can do it with relative ease).
One question that i think i didnt fare v well and yet they are very particular about. They ask "You mentioned that you are passionate about tourism, where and when did that passion comes from?" I mentioned about me working at Cellini as a sales executive and having constant contact with expatriates and bla bla bla and would like to see myself bringing in more tourists into SG. Somehow i think they could feel like its quite far fetched. Why working as a sales personnel can get you interested in tourism.
Well.. Frankly I must say, if i'm sitting on the opposite side of the table, i would frown too... and give a wicked chuck deep in my heart and say.. come'on dont bullshit me... Well i guess i'm really a bullshitter at times... hmm....
From the questions they ask, i can tell they are worried about recruiting staff that will turnover very fast. Maybe there has been people whom they have trained and left STB as what i heard from outside as well. Thats why they are so particular about this point. However, i didnt feel that i did very well in assuring them that i'm a stayer and not a leaver.. Some how i just feel this way.
Anyway on the whole, i think i handled the interview quite professionally, just that i think perhaps they cant feel the "aggressive passion" in me. They want someone who would suddenly stand up, beat his chest and shout to them.. I LOVE STB. but i didnt do it...
For the essay, i think i did better than i thought i could. Within 30 minutes i typed like 1.5 pages of text in the microsoft word. Maybe the font is big la... but the gal behind me came out saying she only manage a page within that short time span. maybe she bull shit me haha, but never mind la i think everyone should be about the same.
At the end of the day, i asked how long would i need to wait before i can know the results. and the answer was about 1 month. thats really really very long. they sure are taking their time.... I think they have another batch/ round of interviews to go... maybe they will decide together.
this is bad... sounds like there are tonnes of competitors... Anyway still relieved that its finally over... dont want to think about it anymore. just hope i can get the good news in Europe!
20 more days to Greece.... i will be spending the first night in Greece alone.. Well i think its a bit scary, to fly alone there from SG to DOHA and to Athens. i will reach there at 1830.. which i suppose will be dark already... den i got to try to navigate my own way to the hostel which is some where in town.. i dont think i will ever understand their greek language... hope i dont get lost!
Will be spendign first night alone cos Jase they all are going to watch Liverpool Vs Arsenal on 21 April and will only fly over on 22 APril.. Stupid delay!

Countdown...
Okay finally the call came... 1st April 2009 could be the day of my life determining my path and career for the next few years to come...
STB called and asked me to choose between 31 March and 1 April, but i got 2 quizes on 30 March, hence i think 1 April will be a better day. hope i wouldnt be made a fool out of the day.
its not just a panel interview, there is also gonna be an essay writing section. Damn, if only i'm Jun An... Well i guess this could just be the determining factor. After the essay writing will be an interview conducted by the HR Director, a Divisional Director and another deputy director. Oh man sounds scary... But what to do, can only give my all...
Frankly there is nothing much i can prepare for except reading up and reading up for related news... The rest really depends on my on-the-spot performance and whether the interviewers like my face ba....
Any tips any one?

i'm a ten hour daily sleeping monster
Everytime i read some health reports or recommendation, it says that a normal adult should sleep 8 to 10 hours daily... But i keep thinking why must i be on the extreme end... why cant i be the one who just needs 8 hours of slp or even lesser like some of my friends. ha
Seriously, tried and tested, without using alarm clock i will always wake up 10 hours later from the time i knockout. Even if i use alarm clock, i will still keep snoozing until 10 hours is up. haha, so frankly there is no point in me using an alarm clock, but i will always still set my alarm for an 8 hour slp conscientiously everynight. and always the next morning will be a struggle... a 2 hour struggle...
I guess its all in the mind, haa, i think i'm mentally not disciplined enough to make myself wake up earlier. not sure if its a blessing this sem cause my earliest lesson is always at 1030, even though i got lecture occassionally at 830, that is really very occassionally. i'm begining to wonder how i am going to survive work... next time i would really have to sleep at 1030 pm after channel 8 news le... maybe its a healthy lifestyle for me to sleep early and wake up early also ha...
anyway, work has been delayed for KPMG till 1 Sept. And there is going to be revision of work benefits as well.. No news from Singapore Tourism Board yet, but even though recently hear some not so good stuffs about working in STB, but i still feel no matter how bad it is, it wouldnt be as bad as the infamous BIG 4... haha lets call it BIG 4 Monster....
ya i need to go guan yin temple to huan shen and also pray for my hopefully upc0ming STB interview...
