e Wheel of Life

Of Interviews, Projects and Birthdays

I will try to keep this post as short as possible, although I have been missing out for almost 2 weeks.

Been actually called for 2nd interview for JGC, the Japanese EPC company. Totally disappointed with that interview, not with myself, but with the interview, and the offer SUCKS BIG TIME. I am so angry with myself why I allow myself to be stuck in such a situation and be humiliated by such person. Anyway I am not going to accept that offer, unless something really goes so wrong. There will be another interview, that is with Yokagawa. It is the 1st round and I hope it will be a good one.

Finally, the super big project design concluded on Thursday!! And since it coincides with my birthday and the last day of school for most of us, we have a small celebration at Marche at Vivocity where we got high with beer, mushrooms and phototaking.

Thanks to the Resonance kakis for the quick lunch at Arts on Friday. Sorry I can't join you all at Daily Scoopz. Hope you all have enjoyed yourself!

So far the presents I have got are ang baos (family), a haversack (class people), and a nice cheesecake and One Republic CD (bro).

This year's birthday I missed out having meal with my family, largely because of the projects and having other plans with friends. But somehow, this year's birthday was quite different. Besides being sick, it's the feeling that's different. Maybe it's the age... I am getting old. Thanks to all who have messaged, facebooked, msn-ed your greetings. Appreciated greatly!

So now, I am left with the last project and the final 2 papers for exams and after that, IT'S THE EUROPE TRIP!!!

PS: Not as if my writing skills are real good, but I realised my writing skills have deteriorated,. Sighz!

New Phone!!

Finally got a phone... And it's not Nokia 6500 Slide. It turned out to be a Sony Ericsson K850i. Besides the small buttons and the rather dull design, I loved the functions and such. And it's a 5 megapixel camera phone. But as it's a SE one, I have to get used to the new way of smsing and browsing around the phone.

And I finally changed my plan too, after about 7 years of Classic100, I now upgraded to a i-One plus Student Plan. Which means, I have FREE INCOMING calls, unlimited smses and free campus call... Haha!

That aside, more and more of my friends are getting employed and I am still awaiting replies from the companies that have interviewed me, and those that I have sent my resumes too. I also just realized it's only two weeks left before the end of my university life. As much as I want to graduate, there's a feeling of belonging and attachment to the campus, the life here and the friends made.

Hopefully I will enjoy the rest of my term here, although there are still the dreadful exams, projects and assignment deadlines!!

Till then.
