Jobcentral Career Fair

Went down to Suntec City Convention Centre for Jobcentral Career Fair today. Saw the ad on the train when I was on my way to Kranji MRT to meet up with the Langkawi ppl on the day of our trip. So I thought to myself, why not go and take a look over there?

I reached there at about 2 plus and started making my way round the stalls. Dress code supposed to be business casual but think I'm the one of the few idiots who wore long sleeved shirt, pants and leather shoes.. -_-

ZJ told me to look out for his pri sch friend who'll be there for SIM promoting courses and I managed to find her without much difficulty. Think she kinda forgotten about me cos we only met up once at SIM canteen to have dinner together with TF and ZJ of course. Had a nice chat with her and moved on to see what other companies can offer bah.

So far, the list of companies I've applied / going to apply are as follows:

1. Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore
2. Duty Free Shop
3. Panasonic
4. Hitachi
5. Singapore Police Force
6. ST Microelectronics
7. DBS
8. Standard Chartered Bank

So far, only Singapore Tourism Board has rejected me straight because my honours class is not Second Upper and above. Bah! Second upper v big meh? :P

Oh well, hoping for good news to come soon then...

Death Note!

Went to meet TF at Sunshine Plaza to check out whether the MG Gundam Wing Custom Zero was still available at Hobby Art Gallery but Joyce said all sold out le.. New stock coming in only in December / January... Oh well.. Went over to La Tendo and chanced upon a Luffy figurine going for 24.50 and another Saber figurine for 72. Put the both of them in a pocket in my mind for potential purchases. Hee...

After that, went to meet up with ZJ and another friend for dinner before heading off to watch the much-awaited DeathNote movie. WY joined us for dinner too, although he watched the movie with another group of friends already.

The movie was ok only lah. I'm currently watching the anime now and also reading the manga too. The movie, IMHO (in my honest opinion for the mis-informed) proceeded too fast. Even those who did not know anything about Death Note would have been lost.. Also felt that they should have gotten actors to portray both Light and L instead too... The actual ones are erm.. not too convincing? The movie also doesn't pay homage to L's brilliant mind as quoted by TF after the show as well. It kinda shows him as a freaky kid who loves sweet stuff and talks monotonously.. That's quite sad...

The second instalment is already out in Japan, or so I heard.. and due to be released soon in Singapore shortly. To watch or not to watch? That is the question! Might be getting a "Death Note" notebook for fun from Comic Connection. Although the larger version looks and feels like the real thing, the rules are written in both English (as per original story) and in Chinese! Argh! Think from Taiwan or China sia.. The smaller one is cheaper and has rules only in English but doesn't really look like the real notebook at all. Which to get? It'll be fun to be seen writing in the notebook and peeking at someone who just pissed you off.. keke..

Off to the Jobcentral career fair @ Suntec tomorrow! Armed with resumes and a witty mind, here I come! Hopefully can take pictures in there and share with you guys soon!

I'm back!

Hey people, so good to be back in Singapore! Simply loved the trip to Langkawi, the company was even better! I mean, the beach was so beautiful man! Just take a look at the pic below!



We went to the beach, go-karting and snorkelling! Some went island-hopping around which I would have loved to go if there was enough time!

Click on the link below to access my photo album for the trip! Will add more photos once others have sent me photos as well, so stay tuned!
YCK Trip to Langkawi

I'm off for a HOLIDAY!

Finally after an agonising week of waiting, the weekend has arrived! I'm off to Langkawi for a trip! *beams* Going to travel with a group of friends from YCK and will only be back on next Tuesday! Stay tuned to my photo album when I return! :)

In sickness or in health

Wasn't feeling fine after YCK session on Saturday.. Felt a little queasy in the stomach so went home after that to take a well-deserved nap for a couple of hours. Felt a little better though but the pain and discomfort returned on Sunday as well before and after I went to my cousin's place.

So in the end, visited my family doctor this morning. Tot I would get by this year w/o getting an MC but oh well.. It's good (and bad) to see Dr Tan again. A fatherly figure who usually does not rush his time to clear your case when you visit him and chats you up a bit before conducting the diagnosis as per normal. Sometimes I feel a bit better just by seeing him. Lol!

Felt a little bad for taking MC today cos Mondays are usually the busiest at IRAS. Jean must have been cursing me the whole day, I guess... Paiseh!

Had lotsa rest today at home, took some time to do up most of Legend Gundam and took a great nap in the afternoon. Felt a whole lot better after taking the medicine! Hope I get well soon for the long awaited trip to Langkawi! T-5 days!

Lastly, drink lotsa water during this blasted hazy period, ppl! Peace!

Farewell~

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was working in IRAS as a temporary clerical officer. Din realised that I have been working there for a month plus already and all of my colleagues but me are going to leave soon to go back to their respective polys to start a new semester. So fast! Going to miss them... *sobz*


IRAS Fil Comp Atrium Project Interview Team!

IRAS Fil Comp

Flawed

One common question asked by interviewers recently during my interviews woudl be "What do you look for in a job?"

My answer would be: I love meeting people everyday!

But why? Whenever I meet different people, I get to learn good points from them, especially those in which I'm seriously lacking.. They're all like mirrors of my soul to me in a sense.

Qualities include having a great personality, humourous, being a gentleman, optimistic, patient.. the list goes on and on. And often through new people that I meet, I learn about my many flaws which does affect my relationship with people around me. I still feel that I do lack certain qualities that are needed to maintain good relationships with people...

So next time, when you do chat with me, my friend, remember that there's something about you that I admire and learn from you each and every single day...

If you're going down to the Zoo today, you're in for a BIG surprise!

Finally! The much awaited outing to the zoo with the kids! Was pretty much looking forward to this since the beginning of this week, cos it's been a LOOOOOONG while the last time I visited the zoo!



Furthermore, today's turnout was pretty HUGE! Imagine the trainees, the volunteers, and the NIE ppl who also helped to organise the event for us as well. Wow!



I'll let my photos do the talking from now on! Enjoy! Just click on the pic below to get to the album!

World Trade Center

Met up with JW, TF and Wins for dinner at Sunshine Plaza on Friday. It's been a while since I saw Wins, and glad to see he's doing well so far. Haha! (Wins, no leaving of crappy / corny tags after this yah?) I gotta admit, JW's laksa looked really marvelicious... Then we went to Hobby Art Gallery to check out any Gundams and as usual, I'm eyeing the MG Gundam Wing Custom Zero now at a discounted price at $54.95! *drools* but I dun think I'm going to use my first (and maybe last) salary from IRAS... :(

After which we caught World Trade Center on screen at the Cathay. Usually walk past it when I'm walking back from my fav. pool joint to Dhoby Ghaut MRT but never ever really stepped into it before...

Anyway, it looks pretty nice inside and they have one of my weaknesses opened in the Cathay. Behold, the adidas boutique! I'm a huge adidas fan, and they happened to have Liverpool jerseys on display! *beams*

We managed to get tickets at the Grand Cathay theater which is this huge posh theater with very comfortable seats! Only managed to figure out that Theater 1 = The Grand Cathay after some time. Lol! So blur...

The movie wasn't really up to my expectations. Characters lacked depth and couldn't relate to them at all in the movie... Kudos to Nicholas Cage however for portraying a rather resourceful and courageous police officer sergeant. For ppl out there who wanna catch this on screen, don't bother, just wait for the VCD instead. Ha!

My first photo album for figurines

Finally gotten down to taking my figurines out of my display cabinet and taking (and re-taking) photos of them. Here's a sample. To view the rest, just simply click on the link at the bottom of this post!

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Photo Album coming soon!

Law suggested the other day over at my place when we were playing Settlers that I should create a link to photo albums of my figurine collection.. Still considering whether it's viable and whether it's going to take a lot of trouble. After all, I need to...

-take photos of new figurines
-retake photos of old figurines
-find a decent photo hosting page that allows easy uploading and no pesky invitation or sign in thingy!
-labelling and adding captions to all the photos!

Wow! This could be a major project sia... Somemore, very busy and tired during the weekdays and Saturdays with YCK, so that leaves Sunday for everything..

Check back again soon for updates then when everything's done!
