Graduating from college/university indicates the start of working life, an entirely new phase of life for everyone. With the current education system in our country, I believe not much fresh graduates are mentally prepared to step into the Real and Cruel environment.
Maybe because I was involved in recruiting field previously, it makes me realize that geez! almost 50% (or more) of the fresh graduates do not have the right attitude and mentality to actually start working. Work for the sake of money, carefree attitude, lazy, very dependent, giving tonnes of excuses for your own mistakes and the list goes on and on. You bringing that to the interview session AND working life (so happen that day is your lucky day then, or should I say the employer's bad day) = you're doomed!
If you happen to realize you're one of them, good for you! At least you know, care and will start thinking about it eventually. What's worse is that teenagers/young adults nowadays don't know what's wrong with them, and think that it's okay with their attitude. It's killing me, when I'm surrounded with those kind of young adults, I couldn't and shouldn't voice it out to them. I'm just merely a peer aite? I'm at no position to randomly went all out at a random young adult or even a normal friend. I did scolded a few interviewees though, those who really don't even bother to wear formal wear to interview, walk into the room unprepared, just literally stick to the table while answering questions. Yes, it kinda ticked me off and I really wanted them to have the RIGHT attitude! Hope they do realize I'm doing it for their own good =(
It gets into my mind, again. So here I am, with a wordy tension-releasing post :P
I've been abandoning this space for quite some time, it's time to wake bloggie up a little~ :)
Life has been great so far, made a move on my life and has been enjoying that ever since.
Making choices is always difficult, especially on the first step. I've been struggling for months, taking advices from dearly friends/experts here and there, making myself confused, looking alternatives, finding ways to accommodate and tadah! I've made my move, one step closer to get what I really want (hopefully :P).
A dream can be as simple as greeting yourself with a big wide smile everyday. Everyone has different dreams or paths to pursue. It is important to have a dream or a target to achieve for. Life is worthless if there's no goals, no? Work for the sake of getting tonnes of money doesn't bring you to somewhere you want. It will, getting you a better lifestyle, a better house (not home), security, etc etc, you name it. That's it, you'll stay stagnant, earning money repetitively, getting promoted at times, doing the same thing over and over again. If it's the simple thing you wanna do for the rest of your life, good luck with that =) I really do know some people just wanted that, simplicity.
Working aimlessly is never my cup of tea. I don't, and never will settle down because of that. I wanted more, and I know some of you do too. Instead of thinking/considering about the consequences or the circumstances over and over again, just take the first move. You'll never know what you've gotten into unless you take the initiative to get into it. It may be the wrong one, you may fall down, get really grumpy, blame yourself about the shitty decision. Yeah, life is not that easy. It takes maybe 1000 wrong decision to lead you to ONE right one. It hurts, but at least you tried. You've no regrets when you look back, or a lot of what-ifs in your mind when you're thinking back when you're about age to settle down.
Time for new year resolutions again, reviewing the past year's resolution makes me realizes i actually did achieve something :))) here goes~~
1. Get a first class degree and get out of KL
DONE with flying colors~ ^^ and get out of KL immediately! lol
2. A semi-pro/better digital camera
Checked! My Canon baby S95 is doing a very good job. HAPPY :D
3. A job with GOOD pay xD
Considered a yes? It's been a very good experience and the job has been teaching me a lot. Very glad to get a very good offer from my manager, appreciate it but yea, I'm moving on!!! ^^
4. Skincare and makeup routine
Been quite good with that and still improving!
5. Long straight hair

6. Spend more time with Family
Almost a year in Penang now, still doing quite fine :) Another 1-2 years time in Penang and I will be off again to another unknown country (hopefully). Penang is great, but 2011 helps me realizing that Penang will be my hometown but not really the place I'll be settling down~
7. A trip to overseas (exclude Sg & Thai & other nearer countries!)
Unfortunately, I just went to all the exclusion countries (Thai & Sg ONLY!!!!) O.O Couldn't make it for another year as well so it's off from this year resolution T______T
8. Keep in touch with friends
Doing this pretty great too! got to know more friends because of the job and catching up with old friends alot too! *wink*
Last but definitely NOT least, TOP PRIORITY to the max! No 9! Be lovey dovey with Dear *flying kisses*
The sixth year and still going strong! :D a few minor bumps but still doing fine.. Definitely a lot more to improve for both of us, and we'll work through this, together! ^^
Very proud of what I achieved so far (EIGHT out of the nine resolutions ticked!), and for 2012, I don't think I will be making any new resolutions (keeping the 4,5,6,8,9 of course!) because I'll be going through a completely new stage of life, will only know how my resolutions would be after stepping in of course. I have made my mind, hopefully it works out, AND IT WILL BE :DD
Moving out from a comfort zone is something big when there's so many unknowns here and there. Hopefully things wont go haywire pweaaase *begs* Really thanks for all the support and advice from family, BF and my girls <3
Wish me luck people, and I wish everyone the very best for 2012!
Feel like doing resolutions for 2011 :) It's gonna be the very first year stepping out of study life and be independent so I'm looking forward to it! hehe let's c how many resolutions I can think of
1. Get a first class degree and get out of KL
I've been mentioning all over and yea, still my MAIN resolution! teehee.. The final semester is super tough and I hope everyone'll be very very lucky to pass! ^^ and I'm not gonna work in KL so buhbye Setapak *smiles BROADLY*
2. A semi-pro/better digital camera
It's hard to jot down every little details in the life, and life's short! so I'll get a cam asap, with excellent soft skin mode for countless camwhore pictures :D
3. A job with GOOD pay xD
Hopefully it's not hard! :( I have almost zero experience in permanent job hunting, and i think my interview skills are weak! Nothing to impress T.T
4. Skincare and makeup routine
Really really important to get the suitable products for everything! Try to learn some makeup skills as well :) weeeeee~
5. Long straight hair
MUST not cut/curl my hair for at least a year. Cant guarantee for the dying part cuz I'm pretty sure I'll dye my hair xD hahaha I want long silky shiny smooth straight hair for 2011~
6. Spend more time with Family
Four years of missing all the occasions at home makes me emo! Always caught up with tonnes of workload and not being able to spend some leisure time with the family is not fun at all. Will try to get a job in Penang hopefully and have fun with family :)
7. A trip to overseas (exclude Sg & Thai & other nearer countries!)
Wanted to go to Taiwan!! to meet another Ting there~ ^^ I was once told that there'll be SEVEN of you scattered all around the world! pretty amazing huh.. haha It's cool to be quite bonded with a girl u've never seen before, still you can pour your feelings and she DID feel for you! AND of course all the food, shopping and everything~ xP
8. Keep in touch with friends
Keep me updated with every thing in your life kay? YES, ALL OF YOU! =) We need to keep catching up ya! =D sharing stories and gossips are fun and I really look forward for all those outings, ALL over Malaysia or overseas!
Last but definitely NOT least, TOP PRIORITY to the max! No 9!
Be lovey dovey with Dear *flying kisses*
Keep melting me all the time ya! ;*)
I've heard some saying that 21 is still not the age to settle down with someone yet, it's time to explore and enjoy with exciting love experiences!
In my opinion, it's not the time that matters but the person. Everything's right with the right guy at the right timing. So yea, let's have fun attached~
GOOD LUCK and do share your new year resolutions! =)
Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)
Appreciate everyone around you, and a very very happy holidays to everyone! :D
I've always been quite particular with eye contact with people. For me, it's like the most important communication skill ever. Hmmm, but not much holding the same opinion with me i guess. I don't think I can accept "shy" as an excuse of not looking into ones eyes. It's a sign of you respecting the one you're talking to? How're you suppose to talk with eyes browsing around other places?! But alot of people seems very good at this, which kinda pisses me off :(
"Hey.. How're you?" *smile and look into ones eyes.*
"Hey.. How're you?" *playing with hands and looking elsewhere*
Huge difference right?!
And you're definitely giving ppl bad impression when you don't look into ones eyes during important interviews/presentations/meetings.
and you're 100% giving me bad impression, slash slash slash. *shakes head*
another one, stuck between topics. It sucks during conversations, but please reply k? Don't just leave hanging there.
"I think the weather is pretty warm" *fanning oneself with hand*
"....." *pretend nothing happens and continue to walk*
faints. I don't likey.
At least please, answer something like "yalo" before jumping into another topic k? Don't pretend like I never talked. It's like being ignored completely. It's awkward O:
I'm so ma fan like that. but i thought it's a norm to do so?
