How do u know when life is a bitch? (too many ppl used Life sucks)

I'll tell you.

Life is a bitch when:

1) you have a big sucky quiz coming on Monday ( I am referring to Conso--306= siao-liao-where-do-the-numbers-come-from)

2) you got rejected by a few companies for a job

3) you feel a few pimples are threatening to reside on your face

4) you dropped your friend a message to say hi but he/she doesn't bother to reply

5) you can't god damn sleep because you drank teh peng this afternoon

Life is a bitch man! How to dig yourself out of this hole?

Been busy with studying for my 306 quiz..such a killer. As a continuation of my last entry, i am still worried about my job prospects. I am seriously not kidding when i am saying i dunno if i can get myself a good job.

I am not looking for a job, but i am looking for a career. See the difference? But it seems that i am not going places. And guess what, I just got rejected by Standchart. Great.

I mean yahz it's only End Sep and i still have like 10 more months before i graduate. But i am not an Accountancy grad u know. I dun have Big 4 waving to me when i graduate. In other words, i dun have a ready job market waiting for me.

My friends always say " Come on, you are so smart and all" these sorts of things. Get real, i am not smart nor good grades means one will have a good career ahead. You and I know that.

Am i being aggressive? Maybe i am, maybe because i want to make it out there. But i am beginning to doubt if i have what it takes.

Recovered from my serious fever finally, around Tuesday. Thanks everyone who dropped me a msg in the tagboard!

Nothing much going on these days as well, just school basically.

And yahz, Thailand had a military coup last week, in case my readers dun read the papers. And there goes my year end Bangkok trip! Come on, any suggestions on where to go for a 4 Days 3 nights holidays? I would love to drop by Australia, provided someone could provide me the cash!

Seriously very worried about my job prospects, i know i know, it's only Sep and I am only graduating next year July. But all the good companies are hiring now and i seriously doubt i can make it to these big companies!

Any lobang for year end job though? like internship???

haha i need money!

Just came back from seeing the doc. I feel it's just not worthy to let the doc earn $25 for a few listens with his sethescope and chased me away after scribbling some words onto a piece of paper. Oh well, no choice when i am down with fever.

Been feeling under the weather because of my fever and headache. The bus ride from NTU to Boon Lay just now was like the longest trip i have taken for a long while. Sardined between those students with the bus driver driving as if he was driving a Daytona just makes my headache felt worse. Dunno if my EQ is low, i was just irritable for much of the day. Every single person will makes me want to throw my temper(of cos i didn't!), the feeling as if the auntie standing beside me on the train had killed me, when in fact i was the one showing attitude.

The visit to the doc was kinda unexpected. The doc tried to pet talk to me, asking me if i had graduated, which year am i in, what i want to do in the future. I said:

Me:" Oh, next time hope to work in a bank lor"
Doc: "Really, thought you want to be a teacher or a lecturer"
Me(thinking):" great, even the doc think i am a nerd in the making"
Doc: "Cos you really have a powerful voice projection, zhong qi shi zu"

I gave a weak smile. haha..

Anyway, this week i came across 2 quotes which i find quite interesting.

" I have no problem with working hard, but i have problem with not having a life"

" Even tall trees are made to bend. So are you. Be flexible!"

The first quote came from a Class 95 interview with Kit Chan. She was saying why she wanted to leave her job and taking a break. I feel it is so true for me as well! Not having a life is certainly sad, especially slogging your life in the office.

The second quote came from the MTV channel. The morning show, "Star Signs" where the tv screen show the advice of the day to various horoscope. Kinda surprised that i can see such special sentences on a channel i least expect to do preaching.

Dear readers, my entry would inspire some after thoughts!

Had a damn busy week. Probably the most busy week for the past few months.

The following occurred during the last few days.

Sunday, 3 Sep.

My folks and my brother flew to Hong Kong for a 5 days holiday. Enjoy! I couldn't go as i still having my school term. And Hong Kong is probably 3 times as expensive as Bangkok. It's ok, i gave it a miss, but i went to send them off at the airport. And for the first time in my life, i had the whole house for myself. Not a bad experience living alone i must say.

Monday, 4 Sep

School. Class ended 430pm but had a discussion on the presentation due on Wed. Ended at 6pm. Received an email that i was shortlisted for the Sumitomo Mitsui Bank Scholarship interview on Wed. Panicked because i need to fill in the application form and had to write 2 short essays. Produced the essays within one night resulted sleeping at 2am.

Tuesday, 5 Sep

Supposed to be my off day from school. But i signed up a resume writing workshop in school from 2pm - 5pm. Drafted my resume and it was amended in the hope that Capitaland would take a look at my resume. Rushed home and met Elsie to discuss our presentation on Wed. We met at Yew Tee Mac and ended at 11pm. Shagged. Went back home to finalise my application forms for Wed's interview.

Wed, 6 Sep

Morning 830 class. Presentation at 1030. Went all right, probably overkill as we had 52 slides. After lunch, had a short discussion on Financial Modelling project. Interview at 330, actually went in at ard 430. Went pretty ok i guess, and i sincerely hope i can get the scholarship. My expenses depend on it man!
7pm was the Credit Suisse Recruitment Talk. Lasted till 9plus. I tink i will just send in my resume. No harm bahz. When i reached home, it was already 10plus.

Thurs, 7 Sep

Another long day. Class from 930 - 1630. Shagged out when i reached home. Did reading for Friday's seminar. And my folks and brother came back at late thursday night.

Friday, 8 Sep

Finally it's friday. Had a seminar at 1230. Ended at 230. Had a meeting with Vice Dean at 3pm(which was just now), talked a bit, gee i think i am so over rated by the school. I seriously doubt i am brilliant or good. Decide to give myself a break on Sunday. Shall go shopping after tuition

:)

Had a rather happening week. On Tuesday, i went to Mediacorp for a mock TV interview. I was recommended by a Prof to this assignment and it was an eye opener for me!

The situation was like that. Ms Lin, a presenter at Channel News Asia used to work in the press. She just joined Channel News Asia and was tasked to do an interview session with the IMF officials. Then she need someone to practise on and thus explain my presence.

We had a lifestyle kind of interview, done in the Primetime Morning studio set, with all the cameras and lighting! We chatted on the topic on youths' views on money and happiness and it lasted 10 mins. Am i glad it was over because i felt nervous man! But i also felt as if i was like some VIP as well. ahha

Anyway, i saw Suzanne Jung and Timothy Go there as well. Yup, they looked actually the same as they are on TV. Suzanne Jung's skin is flawless, and she's hot! Of course, Tim looks good as well. Did have a chance to talk to them though. I also had a tour of the Channel News Asia department, had a peep on the editing process, the reporter desk and the different studio set.

Being a student for 23 years and more exposed to the finance line, the media industry is totally new to me and i can't ask for more for this once in a lifetime experience
