hm, i am pleasantly surprised that they called me for a sec interview. i totally gave up any expectations cause they told me if i were to be shortlisted, i would receive a call on sat itself. i didnt & i thought it would be the end of story.
oh well. sometimes when one truly habour no expectations, things will turn out to be better. thing will work itself out.
ya. i am feeling this way. things will work itself out. things will right itself. i shouldnt fret. just go with the flow & be happy go lucky.
:)
i suddenly feel very patriotic. cause i am so proud of spore. maybe cause it nearing national day again. i am amazed and proud that construction projects i.e. shopping malls, spring up so often & frequent. they get constructed without anyone caring much so it feels like, all it takes is a weekend and TA DAH we get a new shopping mall to explore all over agin.
this is the way i feel towards ION. i've yet to finish exploring but i already think it definitely lift Orchard Road up a few notches in terms of the (shopping) places to visit in the world!

yet another 'no''
well, i have been to about 4 interviews with prospective employers now & i made the mark for none.
but its ok cause all involve hideous amt of traveling courtesy of my ulu home address. UGHHHHH. why am i disadvantaged BECAUSE of where i live?? why do i FEEL disadvantaged because of where i live???? prospective employers think that i live TOO FAR from the office. omg. i hate it. i wanna live in places like TPY, AMK, TBR... sux sux sux.
anyway. went to interview for product exec. i guess deep down my sixth sense know i cant make it. i was intimidated slightly by the interviewer who was pretty tough talking.
but still was pleasantly surprised when they DID call me. though its because they wanna offer me a position as account exec. jeex.
jeez. i didnt impress as a product/mktg exec but i left behind a impression that made them think i will be a good account person? Is it my amazing rapport building skills??? my pleasant disposition?
whatever. diasappointing. then i just stay in my current co, they wanna train me as account exec anyway & i am learning from the sales manager himself.
have decided to take a break from looking out for jobs. i think i am having crisis at work. sourcing premiums is a headache. so is making something that people will buy.

progress
i've already spend 1.5 years in this lovely company of mine. i think i no longer am a job hopper coz i am happy where i am.
i thought i grew a lot a lot too. time seem to past by very fast week after week and i feel tired regardless of how taxing (or not taxing) work is. i wonder why. maybe i am just getting old. i feel llike i experience too much compared to peers who are still schooling.
i had gone though my first appraisal here & given proper decent increment! its encouraging to see my boss n colleagues getting promotion coz this company believes in retaining talents and also taking action to show its appreciation.
this week seems extra short coz we did a fair amt of trade visiting... but still, i feel tired.
this month is the first time that i spend SOOooOOOO much just on stuff for myself! holiday, handphone, skincare, clothes, shoes, bags... everything add up to my MONTHLY salary!!!!!
& i am still shopping around for a pair of sneakers & cap.

concrete plans
here are some concrete plans worth sharing
1- my soft ins event is tomorrow, 4pm. less than 24 hours away but i am still here. if i need to rehearsal at least 3 times- i need about 2 hours. sigh...
2-D&D is early-aug. erm. not as exciting.i am not saying i cant wait. need i say more?
3- 5 day trip to taipei is in mid- aug. i cant wait. HOLIDAYYY. need i say more?
4- i "heart" pixon. even though its touchscreen and my SE contacts are all screwup and i cant be bothered to make everything consistent.
work is pretty fun and made up of loads of laughter. i laugh so much that i'm slightly worried that ppl cant take me seriously or may find me annoying. but if work isnt fun what's the point of working and going to work.
something miraculous to share- we hit our last financial year's targets despite the stupid bursting of economy!!!!!!!! very WOW. maybe it is due to trade overloading/overstocking instead of true sales... but really who can blame the sales dpt when they delivered good news like this?
