Holiday Trip (while i was broke)

Went for a short holiday to Genting with my dear from 9 to 11 March... haha. Given my broke status, this was quite a feat. Even so, the bus ride up there was horendous, and somemore we are already taking the premium bus... 6hours of bus ride. steady. The curving road up the mountain was nauseating to say the least...

Genting itself was quite fun, there's the theme park with the superman coaster that scared the hell out of someone :P and then a lot of shopping :S and a lot of casino wahaha. we won some RM to buy udon noodles and fries :)

Well, now back in SG and reality sinks in... bank acc piciak. work to be done, no $$ seen. haha. Well, on the bright side, I have a second interview from Transmex Systems, and the team lead told me "dun get employed soon k" which was a little encouraging haha... and ITE offered me an interview for the position of lecturer! haha this wed will be moment of truth for lecturer dream, supposed to present on ecommerce using dreamweaver in 10mins (siao 10min only enuff for my self intro wahaha)...

next time i will upload some pics from genting if i feel like it... wish me luck in interview!

Feedback not bad~

My parttime IT trainer job is having quite a good feedback from the students, haha.... so 3dsense is asking me to go back in april for the next class. well, the money is quite good for 3 days of work, 6 hrs per day, juz that my throat gets absolutely dry to talk for 6 hours.... haha. Now i am ever more enthusiastic to be a lecturer or whatever academic position i can get my hands on :P

Still waiting for my check to clear. absolutely broke already. february has been a happening month :)

Interview screwed up?

I finally got an interview from accenture! it is for a consulting workforce position... wahaha I think i din do too well... well i tot i did ok, except for the manager's comment that "next time please wear a tie..." (ok, i din have a tie to match my shirt, so thinking that rather wearing an ugly tie, might as well not wear at all.... blah blah excuses wahaha), but after hearing my uncle say: "oooh. pok liao la.", I lost my confidence... haha... cos the manager say "HR will contact u should u be selected", then my uncle say "if they wan u they will say 'when can u start work' instead".... :'(

Well, when things dun come, no matter how hard i try they never come... then when one come, all of them come... My ex-boss at Forecepts called me up 2hrs before my interview at accenture and ask me if i willing to join them! wahaha if ppl remember i was planning to do so rite after my graduation, but then they said they cannot afford me :P now they say they trying to get things on track and ask if i interested. Then today, shinchi messaged me and say his fren's company looking for someone to fill in position at their company Transmex systems urgently... and if i interested i should send in my resume immediately. well, no harm trying and see what they offer... haha.

Went to this bar called mox on thu after my interview with james and willie. it was supposedly james' fren's place, and we could get drinks on the house. wahaha turns out his fren was working there, and this fren got screwed by the boss for being late and slacking during the job. And we as his frens supposedly appear as parasites? wahaha... Then turns out this mox is some gay bar!!! no wonder all i see there is guys. damn u james!

shotgun my pockets

wahaha v day is really an expensive day... finally know after 20 odd years of admiring couples from afar, thinking that "oh God, can't I be like them??" moral of the story is be careful wat u wish for, cos it might juz happen??? (happen too many times :P)

tho things din really go to plan (1st time planning, so blurr on wat to do), I had to rush to skoo to pick up the roses i reserved... and evening time ended up not going to the restaurant I reserved cos my dear was so tired and we ate at Han's instead (-_-") haha.. help me save some $$ le dear. lucky she was happy at the end of the day, guess tats wat tat matters most :)

gotten a lobang for website creation from daimien at 3dsense... the ladies who run a fengshui consulting business and are looking to go global... can't come at a better time to input some $$ back into my pathetic account b4 i get a perm job, and sure beats slacking at home. hope i can make this deal worth the while!

applied for DXO position in mindef ytd. hahaaha... hope i can get at least an interview, so far my applications to those "good" companies have no news, and everyone including the taxi driver (?) is telling me tat i need to be patient hahaaha. oh God, please dun make me wait too long anymore meeoow!

Good things come to those who wait?

Its been a tiring week meow~~~ haha I finally got a job (part-time) as an IT trainer on saturdays, thanks to shinchi... but it wasnt as ez as i tot it will be... toking for 6hrs and catering to students' needs really shaq me out mentally and throatally wahaha.

I once again applied for a lecturing position! this time in SP business school (er mei shan wahaha)... well i meet all the criteria except for 3 years experience... but still pray that I can get it!!! My dear dear oso applying for management support officer position there, so if both of us get in, we can have catfight everyday (?) wahaha... Her current job is really sucky. The direct boss is an absolute uncle/slacker, which really pisses me and her off. I hope she can outta there soon to prevent getting high blood pressure and vomit blood~~ is it really that once a man reaches 40s, they become slack and crazy? really hope SP hires us...

My fren has been really down recently, with problems in relationship and uncertain further in career as well... I feel very upset that I have much less time to be there for my frens... but dun worry! good things come to those who wait! er, but sometimes waiting doesnt mean dwelling on the same thing/person... maybe it might be betta to move on ahead, and *maybe* juz up ahead is wat/who you are looking for??? jiayou jiayou jiayou~~

Please forgive my wilfulness~

i guess i can no longer be like wat i used to be... able to go out on short notice, meet my frens on weekends, etc... I think to myself: am i being selfish or neglecting my frens? But it really isnt ez to accomodate all sides... i need to have times for juz the 2 of us, especially during this period... so please forgive me frens! as we usually have plans ahead of time it isnt ez...

I guess i aint used to this. I din mean it when i say "trying to kajiao me issit?", cos i was little embarassed... neither is it my desire to avoid anyone or watsoever. If you feel my actions offensive, please forgive my wilfulness...

I am still the same patrick, i think :P

Mia~ time standstill at my place

Its been a few days since my last post. Yes, i know i have to be patient for any possible replies for my job application. But damn! everyday goes by damn slowly... slowly... i check my email every hour or so, go back to website which i applied for any possible updates... wahaha. the wait is unbearable. I applied Systems Analyst position at NUS which closes on 21st Jan (2ml) and Developer position at NYP, which closes on 31st Jan. From there it is probably another 1-2-3-4 weeks for any reply.... damn.

I really hope i can get the analyst job at NUS, for the more regular hours, bigger corporation and closer to my place :) Then i oso have more time to help ben with his biz idea, help leepeng and xiongzhou in any freelancing work, and have more time with frens... please please please God help me~~
