the philosophical ayam... heheh..

hahah.. miss niyo... i am not philosophical at all.. those are from the song lyrics... kekek... anyways... thanx for ya encouragement... (^__^)
yup... will try looking on the bright side of things.. after all ... everyday is a new beginning...
today was really really touched by the show Lost... not sure any of ya saw it... anyway... today's episode was about this guy... who tinks he is a general or something like that... and he loves to hunt... so... when they found out the wild boars ate their supply of food.. they decided to go hunting for the wild boar as food.... than... the guy who appears to know it all and has all the knifes and something like that... so he lead 2 other ppl to hunt for the wild boar... than... something happen along the way lah... but... i was taken aback by the ending.. firstly.. they never showed that he was all the while sitting on the wheel chair.. and in the end.. he could walk.. after the air crash.. he could walk again... guess it was a blessing in disguise.. he was suppose to go on a Safari trip or some adventure trip.. but he never told them he could not walk..so the guy turned him away.. and asked him to fly back.. he took the flight.. and the plane crashed... and he found that he could walk when he woke up... hmm.... i guess sometimes in life.. some things are really a blessing in disguise lah... we will never know the ending of our life stories until the day we meet our Creator... therefore... even if we have a "detour" in the midst of our lives.. dun be dishearten yah... ya never know what is in stall for ya... hahah.. this sentence is for myself... and also for all of ya out there... JIA YOU! JIA YOU! JIA YOU!
hahahah... i not very good at relating the whole show here lah... but it really is a nice show... go watch it... every Thurs 10pm on Channel 5... LOST...............
love this song in the background a lot... hahah... yup... i am not a very "classical" or "jazzy" person... but.. this song was from a Korean show... loved to listen to this CD at night... with my dim lamp on in my pinky room... the night lights outside.. and the music on.. and me sitting on my bed writing my diary.. hahahah... just no red wine to go with it huh... heheheh... cos me dun like red wine lah.. heheheh...
anyways... JIA YOU loh... everyone... AH-CHAR!!

One thousand years later...

heheheh... the radio is playing this JJ song as I am typing this lah.. duno what title to give this blog also... heheheh...
anyways... thanx for all the best wishes... the interview was oggie... but.. i also duno if they wana me a not... heheheh... though.. it might be one of my dream job... i say might.. cos... i also duno what to except out of it in the future though...
but there are a lot of struggles lah... on one part... i have a tiny winy tinge that i might be able to get the job.... but on the other part... i dun have confidence at all... cos.. I dun wana put my hopes too high... i have been there... when i thought i could get a place in NIE.... but in the end.. i did not get it... it did brought me into a deep "depression" back then... though in the end.. it turned out a blessing in disguise lah... PAPA always places the best in all our lives lah... though we may not know why that is the best.... but.. i have to say it is the best... cos He loves us... and sees the big picture... we are only like the frogs in the well...so maybe we thought something might be the best... but in fact it is not... i will try my best to trust in my PAPA for this lah... though.. it really is difficult.. hehehe..
but... had a great weekend though... i enjoyed my Saturday ... first..i attended a sweet wedding... after which... it was a enjoyable karoke.... where i could really scream all my frustrations out... heheheh... and... thanks Limei and Yen mei mei... heheh.. i enjoyed the sharing we had... it really brought me back to Crusade days... how I missed those days.... really really missed those days...
anyways.... everyone.... let's continue to 加油 oggies... whether izzit in your new job... whether izzit finding a job... whether izzit in your old job... whether izzit with problems of life ... i just have 2 words... 加油! ... heheh... though these 2 words are short... it means a lot ... it means to press on when it is difficult... it means... i will be there with you.. if not physically.. but in spirit and in my prayers... 加油 loh...
hmmm... by the time i am typing here... the song now is 老鼠爱大米... hahahah... its a simple song but can be popular everywhere.... guess it just brings about a simple lesson... look at things simply... and guess we can find happiness in the midst of all our troubles bah... hmmm.. but not sure those who dun like this song can agree with me on this.. hahaha...

Sleepy Drunk Ayam

hahahah... nopey.. i not really drunk as in drunk.. if not I will not be able to type this... but.. i did drink a bit of Voka (not Voda the mineral water but Voka which I bought from Changi Airport.... pei seh ah Jelly... decided to drink it myself.. heheh..... ) mixed with orange juice and water just now... i always feel sleepy when I drink.. hahah.. that is good... cos i am very nervous for my interview later today... extremely nervous... but thanks Hua Jie... hehehe.. thanks for your sweet little prayer for me yah... (^__^)
anways.. was too nervous for the "test" i went for yesterday morning so never blogged last night.. nervous to the extend i took out my "manuals" and started reading on some software which I learnt previously... thought I will be tested on that... but in the end... no use at all....
the test "yesterday".. keep wanting to say today.. anyways... the test was not say difficult.... but.........that is the whole problem... I STILL duno how to do it... the multiple choice okie lah.. quite simple.. everyone who lives in Singapore sure know how to answer.... than the short answer is mainly asking what is needed of a market reseacher and things like that... I din really know how to answer... my answers were ... short... really short... than comes the part of designing a one-page survey form... wah... at that moment.. i blanked out... did not know what to write... i tink i gave them very crappy answers... also got one part doing presentation slides.. that one still okie... the thing that made me wana stab myself was the last part...
2 QUESTIONS...
1) What do you value most and state your reasons?
2) What is your strengths and weakness and tell us how you working to improve on that weaknesses?
OH MAN...i tink all of you will say easy ah.... i know it is easy... but i really did not know what to write... that is why i say i wana stab myself after that... hahah... i mean.. we have all practiced it for DPP2 interviews...but.. i just duno how to write it out just than... my hands were shivering on the lap top.. and the clock was ticking... we were only given 2 hours.. and it was already going to be times up... but thankfully.. the nice HR lady did not come to chase me for my paper...
However... my conclusion from that "test".... I have little values and little strengths...hehehe... and shld i say... thankfully... little weaknesses... but sadly.. little improvements... ("P) hahahah.... they tell me to write about 1 page for each.. in the end... i wrote only half a page... "sigh" where has my mind gone to???? but.. the perk was.... hmmm.. managed to see some handsome guys at that place.... hahahahhahahha.....
anyways.. going to sleep and hopefully have a sweet dream... so I can wake up early tomolo to prepare for my interview... yup.. my first time preparing for an interview... hahahah... hopefully I can really give it my best shot for later....
oh... and hopefully my dreams won't be strange dreams anymore... one night i dreamt that it was raining earthworms in Singapore.... and I tried to sit a double decker bus to avoid the earthworms... hahahahha.. no logic right.... strange dream...
anyways... JIA YOU loh ppl.... AH-CHAR!!!!!!

Trust His Heart

hahahah... i see the power of blogging man... anyways... thanks for all your concern... I am fine... just needed to let off some steam... but I am fine liao... guess have sorted out with my PAPA and felt that what I felt was quite silly after all... anyways... I was just being childish lah... yah.. not childlike but childish... heheh..
anyways... been learning a lot of lessons of Trusting PAPA... cos... in all the job hunt and all that... it does get disheartening after a while... but... He never fails to surprise and encourage me...
I think I get disheartend about the job hunt now cos I found my job quite easily the last time... after I received the letter that NIE dun wana accept me... I quickly sent out my resumes... i tink I send out only 4-5 than... got 3 interviews... and 1 accepted me.. all within 1 month... so I used that standard as a benchmark now... but... through this job hunting midst I have learnt patience.. and the waiting period really helps I guess... cos if we so difficult than can get a job... we will cherish it much more and not quit so easily bah... duno that's what I think... we learn to appreciate having a job bah... hahahha..... goes the same for guys?? (like what dear Miss Niyo always tells me huh.... good guys and good jobs are worth the wait - thanks dear... )
hmmm... anyways... on monday morning I had a call from this company I applied for on Sunday night... they called me early in the morning... and so... I missed the call... than... i called her back... and she asked me some questions with regards to my working experience... i told her what I did... and all that... than she said.. she will check with her manager and get back to me.... my heart sank.... i thought.. wah... to think i thought they going to call me for interview.. than.. now... like just "fu yan" me only mah.... if she wana me to go for interview.. sure will tell me straight mah... wah.. think it was what triggered my whole day of moodines.. thought how could I answer her so stupidly.. should have sell myself harder... i went into the office with a heavy heart.. thinking.. all is gone lah... than... the phone rang at 4pm or so... and........................ it was the stupid insurance company AGAIN... "sigh"... my heart sank further... 5pm.... i thought... gone... 6pm... i decided to go eat dinner with my fren ... during the dinner... kept thinking my phone was ringing..check and check... the parnoid ayam at work again... 6.45pm.. on the bus... "sigh"... another day without any more calls... 6.55pm... the Jay Chou ring tone started ringing.. ... i jumped and picked up the call... it was the company !!!! She said she will like me to go for interview.... hahahha..... I was screaming in my heart... and smiling all the way back on the bus.. must have looked like a mad woman to some ppl....heheh...
duno why i was so excited for this interview... i mean.. the last 2 i was not that excited ah... and I am actually hoping hard I will get the job this time... the lady was very nice too... she even sent me a map and a reminder thru email to tell me how to get to the place... hahahahha... anyways... hoping real hard... but I guess i also have learnt to accept that if the job is not for me ... it is not for me.... so will Trust in God for the whole thing...
oggies... JIA YOU loh for work and for job hunts... and I know you (yes you Miss Niyo) will be reading this... JIA YOU in setting your "Favourites" and your presentation loh.. hahahah... (^__*)

Why are extroverts better of in the world?

This thought came to me recently... cos as I look around... ppl who are more out-going make friends more easily... oggies.. honestly.. yesh.. i am jealous.. cos I am not an extrovert... and I dun like to strike a conversation with ppl I do not know... guess I will only be talkative to ppl I am close with bah... hahahah... not sure if ppl find me like that lah...
i dun wish to say what happened ... but.. I guess... my conclusion to the whole thing is... I will continue to be myself.. the ayam I always have been ... I dun have to be a person who will only be accepted if I behave in a certain way ... and i should not be bothered by it at all cos this is usual... everyone in this world has their own cliques.. i have my own cliques too... so.. why shld I care if I cannot belong to that clique... hahahhaha... not sure if any of you know what i am trying to say... anyways.. i am tired of trying... and i dun see the purpose to try any longer... i will be who i am...oggies.. this is my complains for now.. hahahah..
but i guess... i am just upset.. why is it a disadvantage to be an introvert.... in friendships.. in life.. in finding a job... i always feel like an idiot when i know i have to speak up but i just can't ... "sigh"... and i dun wana push myself to do that... "sigh"
hahah.. today is PMS day lah... depressed, frustrated, upset... all added together... but no worries... after a good night sleep... tomolo will be a better day....
加油!加油!加油!
and.. following the example of nana.. heheh.. here is some FIR song lyrics that has encouraged me greatly...
天空晴朗 心情很蓝
紧握的手 决不松开
我穿越伤害 最美的答案
是祢的爱
what it meant to me is... my PAPA's hands will always be with me.. never letting go of me.. and i will be able to walk through all the sad or depressing moments of my life cos the best answer is already in HIS love...
will post up songs here... just when i managed to get the hang of it... hahah...

Ayam is back!!

heheheh... yoz! oggies... promised to do an update here regarding the Bangkok trip..

anyways.. tomolo going to work in the afternoon... so not so tiring.. heheheh...

oggie... overall... i will have to say... it is a okie trip... not say wonderful... but not so no good too... cos I have learnt precious lessons on the trip....

the hotel was better than excepted... before i went... ppl were telling me it was a 3-star hotel... so the image that came to my mind was small... but instead... the hotel looked like a 5-star hotel to me... hahahah.. it was big... looked kind of posh... and had hot water and a bath tub... to me.. that was luxury... as compated to 5 years ago where i was staying at a guesthouse with no hot water to bathe ... guess the only thing that made me angry about the hotel was on the last day... they claimed we never check out and could not find the keys when the guy at the counter took the key from me and we paid our bills at the cashier.. i still have to receipt to prove my innocence... one thing i HATE the most is being wrongly accused.... hahahha... but after listening to Mayday on the bus ride to the airport managed to cool down liao..

oggies... than for the shopping part... guess to me shopping is not my cup of tea... cos... i can't shop for long... firstly cos i am not a shopper... secondly cos i am getting old.... thirdly.. almost all the shops sell the same thing... but... no fred.. hahahah... i managed to buy some things which i really like.. oh.. and bought a Thai album... duno what else to buy... at first i thought i could buy cheaper Korean CDs there... but too bad... not a lot of Korean CDs... so... instead bought a Thai CD.. the salesman was saying that this is the hottest in Thailand now.... hmmm... will listen to it when I feel like it... hehheh.. now too pre-occupied with FIR and Mayday...

also went to visit my uncle's family - my uncle, auntie, cousin (who was not around), his wife and their son (my nephew)... hehehhe... my nephew was really cute... enjoyed playing with him.. though he dun want me to carry him... "sigh"... heheheh... but... he is really clever for a not even 1 year old.... hahah... and... he has the family genes of the non-stop sneezing potential.. hahahah...

yup... that's the update... the church part was good... learnt some lessons through the seminar... and through my QT lessons... but guess was left with some things to think about now back in Singapore...

but.. i really missed Singapore.... missed my frens here.. missed my parents... missed the TV shows here... missed my computer... missed SMSing and calling ppl and not spending bombs on the phone bills... hahahha.. though it was only a short 5 days... but... the weather in Thailand was better.. hahaha.. not so humid.... and at least there was this Chinese MTV channel in the hotel... that keeps repeating some MTVs.. managed to catch Jay Chou's latest MTV there... kekekek...

oggies... will be ending here.. tired... and wana watch some TV before i sleep.. see how much i miss my TV.... kekekek...

anyways... at first did not feel anything about the trip to Thailand.. cos felt it would be another "conference" kind of thingy.... though I not say dun like conferences lah... as long as I am able to learn something from it... I will enjoy myself one... but.. after taking the "timetable" .. after the refreshing service in church today... and after packing my luggage... I can say.. I am getting excited.. hahaha... hopefully if any company calls me (if they ever call) I can post pone any interviews (if they ever offer)....
anyways... i've enjoyed myself on Saturday... first with the "tea appreciation" at the teahouse... been one year since i went there liao.. my last time there was to plan my itenary for my Taiwan trip... heheheh... and it's been one year... so fast huh.... next year taiwan... i hope I can go back next year... wait for me... kekekek... but... i enjoyed the time of doing nothing... hahah.. and the "old" songs playing in the background...
then after which went to met a Poly fren... hahah... woa... Ah Nic.. it's been one year since we met too.... great to know you've been doing well... and welcome to my blog.. hahahah... and yup... my "Ayam" nickname started with you all .... anyways.. i enjoyed the time catching up with you...

GTO was my FIRST set of VCD... heheheh... yup... it opened my world to VCDs.... and.. i still remember... we used to name our lecturers after the characters in the show... we had a lecturer we loved a lot... and called him GTS cos his surname is Seah... hahahha... "sigh"... how I missed those days man....
oggies.. going to get my room packed up cos Yen mei mei coming to stay tomolo so we can go to the airport together... buai for now... see if I got the time to update tomolo.. if not... then... dun miss me while I am not around loh... hahahahahha.... ("P)

Friday, June 03, 2005

I tink i will official open my blog today...

Oggies.. here is the official opening day... TODAY (3rd June 2005 - the birth of Ayam's Blog)... hehe.. nothing much done though... cos too lazy to do anything else... will keep the whole thing simple... cos i am just to lazy to do anything else...

what is today.. tink it is my PMS day... I always blame days in which I am depressed to my PMS day.... why am I depressed? Firstly cos of the dream I dreamt.... Secondly cos no company called me today as yet.. i thought today was the last straw... cos... next week I will not be in Singapore... than if companies call me.. i will have to tell them I am not in Singapore and post-pone any interviews if they ever call me... it is a mixed feeling ya know... that of hoping they call.. and that of hoping they do not call.... I am worried is that if they call and I ask them to post-pone they will not be willing to do so and there goes another "chance" down the drain... "sigh"

everyone tells me I am paranoid... yes I am... as I grow older.. i can't help feeling izzit becos of my age that ppl are not calling me... izzit becos of my photo that ppl are not calling me... izzit becos of the bug in my email... izzit becos my HP is not working... cos.... my qualifications are the same as the ppl who got jobs... I have working experience... where does the problem lies then??? if no one calls me.. what do I do?? However, I am very thankful the support I get from my family... my parents have always been telling me it is okie.... it takes time... thanks mum and dad... I appreciate the support... it helps.... I am also thankful for the support from my frens... cos.. everyone is saying not to worry... and that good jobs are worth the wait... thanx ppl for all your encouragement...

no choice lah.. will have to continue to JIA YOU loh... AH-CHAR!!!!!

Opening soon.....

Yoz!! Oggies... first let me get this part updated with my interview yesterday... last night felt too silly liao.. so never bothered to update .. hahah.. anyways....

the interview was..... hmmm.. how do I say.... it was good in a way... cos I did not feel as insulted as my previous interview... but... I felt silly cos I duno how to answer the questions the interviewer asked me... machim like going for test like that.... some questions which I was asked

1) How would you go about doing a sampling plan so that it is representative of the entire population of Singapore?

My thoughts --> Oh dear!! I shld have studied this part harder...

What I answered him --> uhhhhhh..... (dun bare to reveal what stupid answer I gave him... cos now thinking about it... i tink it was really dumb)

2) How would you describe your contributions in your previous companies that was commendable or useful to the company?

My thoughts --> Giving my boss nicknames both in action and in verbal form... and... manging to find hideout places where we can hide from the bosses during lunch time... and... finding other hideout places to hide during work to eat snake and bosses cannot find... and on a more positive note... opening up the office in the morning only to be found savouring coffee at my desk and surfing the Net and spilling coffee over my table and staining the carpet when people gave me a scare from the back... In short.. my contributions would be NOTHING... except maybe for the coffee stain on the carpet...

What I answered him --> ohhh.... eh.... I managed to maintain good relationships with my clients (yah... cos the one I contact has become my fren and I did not meant good relationship with my fren's boss ... hehe... ) and grant them any request they asked for (like I have a choice) and thus them renewing a contract with our company (like its my credit... hahahaha.... )

3) What is the difference between international and domestic research?

My thoughts --> International marketing!!! I've just learnt it... but .... what are the other points except from language, sampling??

What I answered him --> Language, culture and sampling (i must have looked like a fool... )

hahahahah... oggies. ... other questions I kind of forgot... but i guess he had this whole list of interview questions to ask.... "sigh"... dun tink I can get the job.. though this company looked 100 times better than the previous one I went to.... and... the lady in front of me.... she sounded reallly good.... cos... the walls have ears... I am not a wall... just that the wall was too thin.... and so when she was being interviewed I could hear her talking nonstop from outside.... sounded impressive to me... oh well... another job down the drain....

anyways... after the interview i intended to give myself a big treat and gourge myself with something to forget about how stupid I seemed to be.... but.. looking at the money in my wallet and my bloating tummy... i managed to refrain myself ... hehehe.. thankfully... if not... i would have felt more stupid...

and thankfully.... the day ended off with a movie with Nana and her fren... the movie was great... in fact... i felt it was more funny than Madagascar... i loved the part in the lift and in the classroom.... it was really really funny.... and... it cured a bit of how silly I felt... hahahha..

went home... and could not sleep that night... cos I still felt silly ... and thankfully... got a karoke session with Nana this morning to let me "shriek" out the silliness I still felt... now feeling better liao... hahahha.. and I have decided to maybe read a little of my notes on market research before going for an interview with a market research firm again... but than again.. this is me just saying it... heheheh... and not doing it...

oh well... JIA YOU loh ppl.... all who are finding job... or those who are working... or those who are studying... heheh... yup... will continue to JIA YOU in my job hunt....
