Went for the final rd of interview at STC on tues morning....i was the first candidate to be interviewed by the interviewer again....izzit unlucky or izzit a good thing to be the 1st person? Nevertheless i made it thru....they announce to me shortly after my interview tat i got the job n ask when im rdy to start work....i was relief when i heard the news cos honestly speaking i tot i wldn't make it....they ask me many qns which i felt i did not tackle them smoothly....Anyway they said i had to take a medical checkup at paragon...therefore another guy n i who made it thru took a cab down to paragon frm STC....the guy whom i got to noe was actually an actor...i seldom see his show tho but hes currently acting in the drama 'Maggie and me'....his name is Richmond btw for those of u whos curious....however hes not acting anymore...it was great to noe him cos we kinda hit if off talking abt ourselves and days in army...well...at least i wun be lonely when training starts

Pple ard me might think tat im so fortunate to get into SIA as an air steward but i dun think its anything special....im actually kinda afraid tat the job might not be suitable for me...when i tell pple im going to be an air steward they go 'wah....so shiok' ....izzt rilly good??? ok la the good thing is can travel ard the word meet lots of beautiful gals but the pay n job scope isn't rilly wat im looking for....its juz another waitering job like those i took up during vacation...i'll definitely miss the days doing sales cos its much more challenging n freedom...a colleague of mine ask me to join venture wif him n setup a reseller for Ricoh since we have experience in this field...we noe how the industry work n wif my sales skill n his vast experience together wif R out going personality...we can be good partners n earn big bucks together...but how can i join them since im going to sign a bond wif SIA for the next 22 mths? haizz...1yr 10 mths reminds me of my army again...i hope its not the wrong decision to join SIA if not i'll be dreading to go work everyday.. :(

I went for a cruise on board Superstar Virgo with my family on wed....its was a last min trip cos my aunt happen to talk abt it n ask my family to go....the last time i went on Superstar Virgo was in Sec 3 with derren n jill family...nothing rilly magnificent abt the cruise...i say its juz a getaway frm s'pore for those who feel s'pore is boring...one thing tat u'll never miss is the wide variety of food they have...there altogether 3 restaurants for u to choose for buffet and its all FOC!!! u can choose either western, chi or Mediterranean food for the buffet....however if u wish to try other delicacy u can pay n have a decent meal at a italian or jap restaurant...In conclusion u'll never get hungry on board superstar virgo....u eat n eat n eat...theres morning breakfast, lunch, teatime, dinner, supper...so how to go hungry?? more like u'll grow fat lor....

As usual most of my time during the nite is spent at the casino...the first nite i won 325 dollars...the 2nd nite i breakeven...i shd count myself lucky not to lose any money on the 2nd nite cos i was actually losing 500 dollars initially....i played till next morning 7am to try n recuperate my losses and eventually made it wif the help of other pple's luck....wat i mean by tat is i was following someone who was super lucky....not matter wat she bet on, she win money...so i took the opportunity n juz followed the way she play...she bet on banker i bet on banker...i call this 'borrowing pple luck'....hehehee...when u r down on ur luck u can only rely on pple ard u...n there i found my lucky person to follow....muahahaha...

I've officially quit my current job...actually it was a mutual termination...they wanted to send me for a course by fuji xerox however the catch behind it is tat i must sign a bond of 3 mths...therefore i declined their offer becos i did not wan to tie myself down with the co. even tho its juz 3 mths...im already thinking of leaving this job cos im quite piss with one of my boss....anyway we had an argument few wks ago regarding my discipline in the co.....they wanted me to canvass outskirt of s'pore for 2 days which i did not want...therefore i did not turn up for work for 2 days....i hate canvassing outskirt of s'pore cos its very tough....u'll definitely sweat under the hot sun n its tiring to walk frm one co. to another becos they r miles apart....juz imagine urself doing canvassing at tuas or jurong area...u'll noe wat im toking abt...in any case...it was the end of the mth last fri...so one of my bosses ask me to come back earlier to office as i was outside....i tot they wanted to persuade me on signing the bond with them which they failed to do so a couple of days back....however when i got back to office they said tat i cld not stay on with the co. becos of my attitude at work...we have diff views abt things n im not suited to be wif this co. anymore...my main concern was my commission becos if i were to leave im not sure i can get it back...i went to Ministry of Manpower few days ago to enquire abt issues on commission payout...n the officer in charge mention tat i can file a case if the co. do not wish to pay me...after tat there will be an arbitration between me n the co. however if they still refuse to pay i cannot bring this case to court....so thankfully they agreed to pay me my commission...i was glad tat they paid me my commission cos its damn alot....i actually won the top salesman for the mth of Nov. ....i did not have any hard feelings abt the co. cos even if they dun terminate my service this mth i wld have left at the end of the yr....haha..so terminating me nw n paying me all my commission is much better this way for me also...

Fri nite was well spent catching up wif my bros....their exams had finally ended n colin is back in s'pore....hehee....we mj thru the nite till abt 4am....nothing beats playing mj with my bro....it has always been one of our fav. past time

SIA was holding their interview for flight steward/stewardess....i decided to give it a shot since im jobless nw but the thing is if i were to go means i wld have to sacrifice my slp....However my intuition told me i shd go for it....so i prepared all my documents n photo needed for the interview n slept at 6 am...woke up at 9am n reach sheraton hotel at 1030am....when i got there i was shock to see so many pple applying for the job...OMG!!! its like applying for singapore idol....damn long queue sia~....wanted to turn back n go home instead but since i was there ald y not juz register n see how it goes.....so i went to take a queue no. n they allocated us in grps of 10....i was so sway to be the 1st person in the grp which means i will be the 1st person to talk abt myself....arghhh....i waited for 4 1/2 hrs for the first rd of interview....my goodness man....it was such a long wait n i didn't even had lunch....come to think of it i cant believe i actually sat in the holding rm for tat long....kaozz...1st rd of interview was juz an intro of urself to the 2 judges...i was the 1st person who stood up n begain my intro infront of the judges....everything went smoothly n i made it thru to the 2nd rd....btw 5/10 of made it thru so it isn't tat difficult afterall...2nd rd of interview was the grooming rd whereby they juz wanna see how u walk n carry urself....they combined 2 grps which makes it 8 of us nw...Fortunately all of us made it thru this rd.....the 3rd rd was the 1 to 1 interview which was the hardest becos i heard from some pple who registered b4 previously said the interviewer will us u scenario qns n u have to tackle them tactfully...When i saw the interviewer i was happy to see a lady interviewer becos i knew how to charm her...im so use to speaking to top management lvl pple now esp. office ladies so i knew wat i muz do in order to make her pass my interview....for all of those reading my blog a tip for u guys is "Smiling"...it is very impt tat u always put on a smile whenever u meet someone...so the 1st time she saw me i smiled n i ask "how do i address u?"...its another tactic to make ur interviewer feel special becos i can assure u tat not many pple will ask the interviewer for their name...hehee...i intro myself to her n i put in some jokes in between to make her laugh...i guess once u manage to make ur interviewer happy n esp. when she laughs den u noe u've made it already...she ask me certain qns abt my past experience...something which i did not have but i guess i manage to con her with my stories....haha...it feels good when someone actually buys the story tat u r telling n she was laughing all the way...lol~ From tat moment i knew i've won her over already....at the end it she announce tat i made it thru to the final rd n will schedule me for an interview with the management another day....So right now im awaiting SIA to get back to me...btw 3/8 made it thru to the final rd....im keeping my fingers cross cos i think the last rd of interview is gonna be much harder...well...im facing another dilemma....if i am accepted by SIA as a flight steward den i will not be able to study uni already....gosh...i still wanna get my degree
