Welcoming April
Although my birthday is in April, I have never looked forward to this month, because it spells exams, deadlines, and stuff that I do not even want to wish. Fortunately, there's a 'birthday' to help ease all the unnecessary worries and anxieties.
I had another interview with Wyeth Nutrional last Friday. There's only 1 interviewer this time. He looked nice enough, well although not at welcoming as the Japanese guy from JGC. The interview went on as usual, nothing extraordinary. I have said my peace, and I hope that worked out well. Seriously, I really do not know what's a fantastic interview that would secure me a job. I have told one of my friends that initially, I wasn't that jumping out of the chair with this job interview, mainly because of the location (yes, it's at Tuas). But after talking to the interviewer, I realised it's actually quite a good job and the prospects in pharmaceutical industry are really attractive. I wouldn't mind the location if the company pays well. In addition, there's also another special report in the newspaper on Saturday, introducing the pharmaceutical jobs and the blooming and expanding industry. That made me even more want to get the Wyeth job.
Actually, I am not greedy. Just as long as the job pays well, the work environment is good, and the career development in the company is fine, I am ok.
Now back to the April topic, as some of you might know (and even if you don't know, now you will know), that my birthday falls within this month. Some of my friends have also asked me what I want. Maybe I should list them down here for everyone's convenience.
Birthday Wishlist1. Partial Sponsorship (at least 1/2) for Europe Trip (Full sponsorship would be most welcomed)
2. Job Security in a Renowned Company (that would need those who are real good in networking)
3. A Life Time Gym Membership (so that I would not go fat)
4. A Secured 2nd Upper Class Honors (that would require some bribing with the Chemical Engineering Department)
5. A Fully Sponsored Diving Lessons Package
Well those really sound like some prizes for some really big game show like Wheel of Fortune.
Anyway, what I really want is all my people and friends around me to be happy and healthy. :)
But I wouldn't mind a PSP Slim.
I was thinking if all my friends come together and each chip in a bit, this is actually not a difficult task. Maybe one of my friends can set up a 'Get a Jeremy a PSP slim' Cause and if all my friends chip in between 5 to 10 dollars each, a whole package of modified PSP slim with accesories and games installed can be easily attained.
I am thinking of a handphone (Hint: Nokia 6500 Slide, it's not that ex!) as well. But most likely that I would get it for myself. Any comments for that phone? Or any other better recommendation?
A backpack for my Europe trip would be cool too. But that I can also borrow from my friend.
So basically it's just the PSP slim.
I am just kidding. Maybe due to the stress from the test on this coming Tuesday.

Job Interview
Wow! First ever job interview done (previous part time ones not counted). The moments before were crazy, printing stuff I need, mentally preparing questions to ask or stuff they would asked, getting new shirt and a pair of new polished shoes. Thanks to Bro for all the help man!
It turned out quite ok, I hope. There wasn't any moment of real silence or stuff I can't answer. There were 2 interviewers, one Japanese, whom I have difficulty understanding for quite some time, and the other Singaporean engineer, who looked more stressed than I am maybe, due to unfinished project.
They said they will contact me by mid-April for a second interview if everything goes well.
I really hope so!!

The Whirlpool
Before you know you are in one big whirlpool, you will be dragged deeper and deeper within, so deep that you can't even swim out of it...
I am now in a stage I haven't been before, its' not a really fantastic thing, but it's not that bad either. I just really don't what to expect from this. It's not about work. The whole situation is like a roller coaster ride, where you be at the highest point at one moment, and at the next, you would be screaming while falling with the pull of gravity.
I really hope to get an answer soon, not from anyone, but from myself. I really hope I know what I am doing.
That aside, I am just so glad I have handed in the dreadful individual design report which sucked dry my sleeping hours, and made me go to school even on a Sunday, and from before the sunlight touches the earth, till the moon takes over the lonely sky. I am just glad it's over for, although there will still be a 100 page group report due, 1 other report, 3 tests, 1 presentation in the next 4 weeks. FYP presentation's over as well, which is as dreadful. I think I didn't do that well. A B+ for my FYP would really be a blessing.
One comforting issue is that people DO appreciate my poster, although I wasn't nominated for best poster. It's really glad to know people were talking GOOD things about it, without my knowledge but of course. I was like passing by my own poster to get to the other side, and I heard mumblings about why my poster wasn't nominated. And also, thanks to some of my friends for giving me additional confirmation when they tried to get their friends to vote for me although my poster wasn't nominated. But of course, I bet those votes will be void. Haha. Really appreciate my classmates too who also tried to get people to vote as well.
I REALLY LIKE MY FRIENDS!!
But on a sadder note, I tend to neglect others whom I have left aside due to my deadlines. I know those are no excuses, but I really hope to seek forgiveness. I will not make empty promises but I will really try to make up time for you guys. You know who you are.
And to that special someone, I really hope everything will just work well... (PS: Don't read too deep within this sentence, AND DON'T GUESS!)
Been in a crazy mood these 2 days, maybe due to the hysteria resulted from the individual design project. Everything would be back to normal real soon.
This, I can promise.

Mr Wheel Just Has to Spin On
I feel like a spinning wheel which has thread entangled in it, and it has to spin on, but due to the resistance of the tangled thread, it becomes harder and harder to spin.
I am really tired, but life just have to go on.
It can also be tiring to keep reminding myself to fight on, be positive and just face the things I have to do. I really don't know how much longer I can go on.
Well, at least the Europe trip in May is something I can work towards to.
To the rest, who are striving, let's all gambatte and work hard!!

When Life is Only About Work and Stress
When my life is only all about work and stresses and more worries about the things to come...
I forget that I do very much still love singing
I forget that my dearest camera is lying patiently for me
I forget how I love music
I forget how I wanted very much to attend the concert
I forget that I still have friends around me
I forget that I still have a blog
I forget how to be happy
I forget that the mind shouldn't be as heavy when I wake up
I forget how to sleep without a heavy head
I forget I still have a family who cares and whom I care about
I forget about my friends' birthdays
I forget about love
I forget about sympathy
I forget about you
I forget about the tears
I forget about the smile
I forget about everything I want to do
But most of all,
I forget myself.
Slowly, I will be forgotten.
