Okays, got lots to update today!

Came home too late last night, so didn't get to blog abt my day...aniwaes, ytd started with the product training lah. Which we later found out involves door-to-door sales of some privilege card. We rejected the job. Hahas. Not that I'm trying to sound smug or what lah, but that kind of job is simply not for me lor. I really can't envision myself doing it. Although the pay is quite good lah. 50% of whatever you sell. Sounds attractive huh. Aniwaes, whoever doesn't mind this type of job or is really tempted by the money factor, can drop me a msg and I'll give you details on how to get an interview yar. Oh, and, you're basically guaranteed the job once you go for the interview. Yups. =]

After that me and Jean went to DW..dun remind me abt it. Supposed to be 2nd interview, but we ended up sitting through some training thingy which we weren't even told abt. In the end, we left early w/o going thru the interview cos' we had to go for Grafito. Ooh! Grafito!!! Wahaha. I love it! =]

I got a shock at the door when a guy gave me the programme for the concert. It was a crushed up piece of paper can. There I was, staring dubiously at the red crushed ball in my hand while glancing at him in surprise, and the poor guy quickly told me that it's not a joke, that was really the concert programme. Lol. The band must be on a really tight budget this year. Hahas.

Aniwaes, I totally lurveeee the repertoire!!! It's one of the best ever, I think. And actually, I was kind of preparing myself for the worst since I heard that practices weren't very good...and boy, was I pleasantly surprised. They sounded great! Considering that the band only had a few weeks to prepare for the concert...counting the Sec 4s lah. I mean, having been thru 2 fiesta concerts myself, I know how it's like lah. Heh. Overall, it was good, really. I'm less worried about SYF next year le. If they can play the way they did with a few weeks of intensive practice, I'm absolutely sure that they will be fantastic for SYF. =]

After the concert, went to bandroom to do section exchange gift. Waited ages for them, but that's normal lah. Hahas. Ended up getting LK's pressie, and guess what, he ended up picking mine too. Lol. Coincidental huh. Hahas. I picked his last year too. =p Took pics, but sadly, not in my digicam, cos' I didn't bring. Sigh. Must wait for the various pple to send to me le. Man..I really miss band! I miss it lots n lots n lots! The pple, the atmosphere, my darling trumpet...hai. Even if I were to join an outside band, it wouldn't be the same anymore...

Hmm, went to Indochine for interview today. Really quite my last resort le, waitressing. But it doesn't sound that bad leh. Plus, the place is really nice! Hahas. Hope me and Jean will get the job..tough job, but at least I can earn money...which I desperately need....eek.

Okays, I'm quite tired liao, the rest of my family decorating the Xmas tree while I'm here blogging. Hahas. And my hamster just tried to eat a lightbulb. Okays, not literally eat, maybe nibble. Lol.

-yawn- Think I shall end here liao. Must go zzz soon...all the late nights are counteracting against my antibiotics. My skin is getting worse again...and it was actually slightly better for awhile lah. Sigh. Dowan my efforts to go to waste!!! Plus, I hate swallowing medicine. Eek. Okay okay, going out of point here. Hahas. Argh, my stupid cough is killing me. -sobs- Hate it when a cough attack comes on. That's what happened at Taka today. And Anchorpoint. Coughed till I teared...I bet I must have looked like some jilted girl standing by the wall, fratically dabbing my eyes with a tissue sia. Lol.

Okay! I will really go now. Hahas. Nites pple, tkkaire! Oh and, countdown to Xmas, only 7 more days!!! I can't wait!!! =]

I think, of all the days in the past week or so that I've spent looking for a job, going to recruitment agencies and blah, today was the most fruitful. Hahas.

Actually had 3 interviews lined up for today, but the last one was a joke. Lol. I'll go into that later. =p Went to Outram first, where me and Jeannie walked one whole big round just to find the building we were looking for. We finally ended up where we started, and on a hunch, decided to cross the road to a row of double-story shophouses. Or so it seemed. Cos' I distinctly wrote down the address of the company as one being on the third floor. So aniwaes, we found it. On ground level. Hahas. What happened next is hilarious. And embarrassing. Oh man.

The door looked locked, so we knocked a few times. Searched high and low for a doorbell but no such luck. In the end, out of desperation, I called the office and asked the receptionist how to get in. This is how the conversation went:

Me: "Um, hi. May I know how to get into your office? I'm standing outside now."
Her: "Oh, you just have to push open the door and walk up the stairs."

Yes, I know. So stupid right?? Dun remind me k. I dun think I'll ever get over it. I bet the receptionist was damned amused. Aniwaes, after the call, me and Jeannie were giggling hysterically. I can't believe I actually made that call and asked that qns. Sigh. But on the other hand, it was really funny. Lol.

So aniwaes, we went in, filled up a form we've come to know very well, and sat waiting to be interviewed. The guy who interviewed us was quite nice lah. He was explaining to us abt this and that and blah...and we, okay, I, was quite surprised when he told us to go back tml to start some product training. Like, so fast! And the worst part is, there's a test after that. Sigh. I was hoping I'd left tests behind when I left TJ. Heh. While it sounds kind of interesting, I'm also abit worried actually. I'm so scared I'll end up tongue-tied!!! Eek. Nvm, hopefully all will go well. =]

The next company we went to was really hectic. There were so many pple waiting to be interviewed! And it's really quite an open concept I think. I mean, while we were being interviewed at a table, I could hear the interviewer at the next table (barely 5inches away) talking to this girl abt snoring. Yes. Snoring. I was trying not to laugh, cos' it's really the last thing I'd expect to hear at an interview. Lol. But I guess it has sth to do with their products lah. Heh. Bottomline is, me and Jeannie secured a 2nd interview for tml...straight after our product training at the other company. Oh man. So hectic. And it means that I can't meet Winnie! =( I feel so bad...keep postponing our meeting cos' of this and that...sigh. Sorry Winnie! Really really sorry! I promise I'll try to meet up with you soon k!

The last stop..was terrible. I mean, finding it was a difficult task. So I resorted to calling. Again. And no, nothing embarrassing happened this time. Lol. When we finally made our way to the office, we filled up a form identical to the one we filled up at the first company. And later, when we went in for the interview, surprise surprise! This company was a susidiary of the first company we went to. Meaning, the one at Outram was the HQ/parent company. In effect, me and Jeannie signed up at the same company twice. Hahas. So you see, quite a joke huh. When we realised it, plus the interviewer, obviously there was nth much to interview abt liao. Needless to say, we were done pretty quickly. Hahas. But he was really nice abt it lah. Heh. I bet he was super amused. =p

So that's 2 blunders made in a day. Hahas. But at least, we got sth out of it lah. Tml's gonna be another busy day again...then at night got Grafito! Can't wait to go. Haven't heard TJ band play for sometime le. =]

Okays, I think my day ends here. Hahas. Will update again! Meanwhile, I'm just hoping that I'll stop croaking like a frog and actually get my voice back by tml. Sigh.

Okays...I'm still sick. That's abt the most interesting update I have now. Seeing that I've been cooped up at home the whole day...why can't this stupid flu bug just leave me alone???

Sigh.

Okays, I went to my sis' bloggie and saw her entry on the handwriting analysis...so I decided, what the heck, since I'm so bored, I might as well do it too. I shall now paste snippets of the analysis here...they claim to be fairly accurate. In my case, where it's accurate, it's quite true. But where it's not...well, it's the total opposite can. At least, that's how I feel lah. Hahas. Okays, here goes...and note those that I highlight. =p

Geraldine has a temper. She uses this as a defense mechanism when she doesn't understand how to handle a situation. Temper is a hostile trait used to protect the ego. Temper can be a negative personality trait in the eyes of those around her.

This is definitely quite right. Lol. Okay lah, I gotta admit it was more prevalent in the past, not so much of now...like in pri or sec sch. Hahas. I still rmb how me and Brigitte used to have tons of quarrels and arguments on an almost daily basis. =p And Cheryl too! It's really quite hilarious, now that I think abt it. We were so childish! But aniwaes, it all turned out for the better huh. Became closer frens in the end even if we aren't close now...so I guess it's right to use the 'phrase', bu4 da3 bu4 xiang1 shi2. Lol.

Geraldine is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

I've never denied the fact that I'm made of sarcasm through and through. In fact, I kinda like it. Hahas. Well, I like to use it for fun lah...like teasing my frens and all that....think Lamu! -grin- But what I highlighted is a sad but true fact too. In a selfish way, I'd rather hurt others than get hurt. Cos' I feel so darn vulnerable sumtimes. Though I bet I never/seldom show it huh. Hahas. Hmm. But I'm really sorry to my frens out there whom I've hurt while trying to 'protect' myself...the only good thing out of this is that I'm changing. Or at least, I'm trying to change. So hopefully, in time to come, I can stop stop poking pple harder than I get poked. =]

Geraldine is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned.

Funny how that (highlighted part) seems so totally true. I mean, the part abt how things dun always go as planned. Lol. =p

Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.

Okays. First part abt the confidence is definitely spot on. I think even PD told my parents before sth regarding that? Abt self-confidence I guess. -shrugs- The second part abt self-perception...I think not! Hahas. Better than average?? -ponders- Well, I dunno abt this. You pple can tell me. =]

In reference to Geraldine's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Geraldine slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project. She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Geraldine can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

I have no idea what to make out of this paragraph. In the first place, I wasn't aware that I had any mental abilities. Lol. Especially not an investigative and creative mind. Those are abt the last 2 words I'd use to describe myself. Hahas. Well, since I dunno if this analysis is true or not, I shall just wait and see. Heh.

Geraldine will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

Well, not entirely right. Or am I wrong? Hahas. I hope that I am tactful, actually. Or at least, most of the time. And really, you can ask for my opinion anytime. =p

Geraldine uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Geraldine does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress.

Okay. Let's clear the air here. I am definitely not a person ruled by my head. I've always known for a fact that I'm ruled by my heart. Sth which my daddy has been trying to get me to change, but not much succedd so far. Hahas. And while I know that I'm seldom and cool and collected, I do hope that I dun come across as unexpressive emotionally? I gotta admit that this was me last time. And I think I've changed somewhat? Lol. But hey, I am definitely a person with emotions yar. Too much of it at times in fact. =p

In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says.

Need I say more? =]

Geraldine is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"

The funny thing abt this is...so happens I'm just the total opposite of that. Really. If u're selling me sth, just throw me a sob story, or if you're one of those frail-looking elderly or handicapped pple, I'd be tempted to buy everything from you. Just that I usually dun haf enough money. So yeah. I gotta really disagree with this paragraph. Except in certain circumstances maybe? Hahas.

So that's my handwriting analysis. Heh. Some rather spot-on, others not quite..but it's just another thing I do to pass time. Lol. Okays, this has been a really long entry and I know you pple are abt to kill me for making you read so long (if you even do =p), so I'm gonna end here! Wahaha. My irritated throat is begging for water again. Argh. I must have downed what, a gazillion litres of water already. Sigh. Tkkaire pple!

Man. I feel horrible. Sigh.

My stuffy nose is driving me nuts. I've been sneezing and blowing it till my head is throbbing. Urgh. -ouchies- Not to mention my sore throat. I totally couldn't sleep last night lah...till around 5plus am then i drifted off into a dreamless sleep...hai.

Wokes feeling absolutely terrible. I even puked up my breakfast and medicine..which was when I decided that I gotta give the 2 interviews a pass...so called them up to check if I can go tml instead. They said okay, so I settled down at home, preparing to slack and blow my nose off. I'm starting to turn into Rudolph can. Sigh. So aniwaes, I eventually decided to go for the interview at Paya Lebar...went with Jeannie! It was yucky lah. Not the interview, more like the detour we took to get there. I hate all those construction man. Bleah. Plus, the sun was so totally baking. Needless to say, I wilted...

The interview wasn't even really an interview lah. Just filling up a form, then the lady asked us a few general qns...apparently, we'll only go through the actual interview if we're shortlisted. So yeah. In all, we took less than 10mins. Hahas.

Went Parkway after that...quite boring actually. Parkway ain't a very good place to hang out lah. Gets monotonous after awhile. And omg, sth supremely disgusting happened to me can. Euww!!! Was kinda hungry so we went to the foodcourt to grab a bite..I bought cheng ting and...yucks!!! Not even halfway through, I found a horrible, disgusting, nausea-inducing, totally gross cockroach in my bowl can. Like wth lah! Okay, at least, it looked like a cockroach. Me and Jeannie were flabbergasted. Imagine my reaction then. To puke, or not to puke, that is the question. Wah liaoz! So damn sick lah! So I returned it to the stall. Duh. And they refunded me. But it's so yucky yucky yucky!!! Thank God I was looking at my spoon instead of eating without looking. Imagine if I actually ate that freaky creature...-shudders- Normally I leave at least 10 metres between me and those creatures lah...I scream when a cockroach approaches. I still find it hard to believe that I almost swallowed one of them. >_<

What a nightmare.

It had better not happen again. I will so totally sue the in-charge if it ever happens again. -choy!-

Aniwaes, I'm trying to forget abt it. I still get the jitters thinking abt that close shave. Euww. Okays, gotta go for the Outram interview tml..hope it'll be better..I mean, hope I can land a job soon...I'm getting so broke I'm already eyeing banks to rob. Hahas. Desperate situation calls for desperate measures. =p

Okays, I'm going to zzz soon. So early! But well, when u're sick, u just wanna crawl into bed and under the covers. At least, for me. Sigh. Ciao, everyone!

Okays! So I lied in my last post. Said I needed to go slp...but I can't stand the thought of trying to catch some zzz while battling a stuffy nose. So I decided to redo my bloggie instead. Hahas. Nice blogskin?? I quite like this one...very different from the usual! Heh.

I think I really gotta go n slp now. Wahaha. Nites pple! =]

Ohh great. Just great. I'm sick. -sniffles-

So sudden can...one moment I'm perfectly fine, the next moment, I have a sore throat and my nose starts hankering after fast depleting tissue in my home. =(

Aniwaes, I've been busying myself with the stupid resume. I just can't get it right, no matter what. Thank God for Ling Jie Jie! Hahas. Thx so much! You really saved my life at the last possible moment! -hugs- I was almost gonna give up and not go for tml's interviews sia...speaking of which, I feel so dead. What did I get myself into when I agreed to the interviews huh. I was a flurry of madness to watch today. Digging into what seems like centuries-old stacks of papers and files to hunt down my certs and stuff. Which reminds me, my CCA record is still with the sch. Bleah. Then had to go and photocopy them...if only I can stroll into interviews empty-handed and still get the job sia. Sigh. Sorry lah, I'm still in dreamland. =(

And what's worse now is that I've been told I can't wear anything remotely resembling jeans to the interviews. Argh!!! I practically live in jeans can. Even my skirts are denim. Sigh. Which says alot about my wardrobe. So, first thing I do when I get my paycheck is to shop for more clothes. Sounds like fun!!! But that is provided I even get a job first. Hrm.

So, what to wear tml?? I can't believe I'm troubled over this at, like, 1130pm?? I must be nuts. Nvm, shall think abt it tml. Hoping and hoping I wun overslp. -choy-

Okays, time for me to go take medicine le. Then slp!!! Zzzz. It's early for me, but too bad, my nose and throat are clamouring to go to bed. Okay, I know what I just typed is stupid. But forgive me lah, I ain't thinking straight le. Heh. Nites pple!
