| | Sorry for the complete lack of activity here hehe. I've lost the desire to blog for some reason. Perhaps cos I feel that I dont really have anything much worth saying. In any case, was replying a friend's email with some of my updates so I just thought I'd paste excerpts of my reply here to save me the trouble of updating (which you know probs wouldnt happen if i had to retype everything =p). Pls forgive the lousy english and seeming randomness of some parts of the excerpt (cos some sections have been edited). I write emails like I talk and evidently my England not powderful =p. So for those loyal ppl who still read this blog (if there are any of you left out there), here goes.... It was quite funny when i went back to Kedah and visited my granduncle.....i'm sure i'v told u abt him. He's the one that can read faces and palms. Anyway, when he saw me he asked if i had a bf yet (the entire conversation took place in Hokkien. Geng mo...hahaha....ie. He did most of the talking lah hahaha =p) and i told him no. He said that wen i get one i'll have to show him so that he can see if the guy is 'suitable' haha (ie judging from his face/luck/watever). And he went on to say that I actually have a lot of guys interested in me just that i dont want them. I was like....huh??? How come I dont know abt these hordes of guys?? hahaha.... Then he said that the guy can't be younger than me. And that he will be some sort of goldsmith (rich i suppose?). I dont really buy into these things; just thought his comments were quite funny and interesting =p Erm. What else. Oh yes. hahaha...another 'funny' story =p I've started at a new cell already. The group consists of young adults btw 24-33 yrs old (singles and young couples). The first time i visited that cell was quite a memorable one. To make a good impression, I made sure that i dressed properly, blew-dried my hair, the typical stuf lah. Then as i left Sierramas, it started pouring cats and dogs! It rained like mad ALLLL the way there, and when i got there, the stupid umbrella was one of those golf umbrellas where u have to push the thing in the middle up. So I had to step out of the car to do that (getting me half wet) and when i finally got it open, the wind blew it inside out!!! So i had to get out of the car to try to turn the umbrella back again, resulting in me getting COMPLETELY soaked. In the end, i gave up on the umbrella, left if by the side of the road, and got back into the car for some shelter. There i sat, dripping, considering whether to go home, or to still go for the cell in that state. It was raining too heavily to drive home, and i'd already gone all the way, so i thought....what the heck. So i got out of the car, pressed the button to lock it (drove my sis's Satria), and guess what ELSE happened. The alarm went off  . So there i stood, in the pelting rain, trying to sort out the alarm and lock the car. In the end, i figured no one was going to steal the car in the rain so i just left it unlocked and walked in thru the open gate. The 2 ladies there must've wondered who this crazy woman was haha. Anyway yeah...so i stood outside the front door for a while, wringing whatever water i could out of my soaked hair and clothes while the cell leader got me clothes to change into and a towel. haha.... Yep. Anyway I quite liked the group so i went back again last week (also to return the clothes hehe). I was quite impressed by how deep the discussion was (the way i like it), and the members are mostly quite strong Christians. So yeah....i think i might just stick with this group =) I am the baby there though. They were all shocked that i was 21 =p They're only in their late 20s and acting as if they're 80 already. Sheesh hehe. Erm. Yes, work. Nopes, still jobless. Went for an interview with a small company, turned down the 2nd interview cos i dont think I'd take the job even if they offered me one. Went for an interview with Janssen-Cilag (subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson) for a product specialist position (ie a glorified name for a salesperson.) on Tues. Interview went well and they called me today to arrange the 2nd interview on monday. Another interview with Zimmer for a similar position on the same day. But....my mum thinks it's a waste for me to do sales with my academic results. I see where she's coming from. Ppl seem to think that sales is a lower-end job since it involves a lot of sucking up and walking around. I think I kinda feel that too. But I dont know if i can get into consulting, and sales seems to be my only way of getting into the pharmaceutical industry. So...yeah....i really dont know lah. Please pray for me about this whole job thing. Ask Him to close the wrong doors and give me wisdom and perseverance to knock on the right ones. Well, that being said, I guess I'm quite ready to start work already lah. Starting to feel like a useless human being hehe. The only good that's come out of not working is that I'v told myself that i have no excuse not to exercise. So yeah....started an exercise regime. Hopefully can keep to it =p Yeah i completely understand how scary it feels to realise that your student life is ending....and with it the carefree days. The past few months have been quite 'scary' for me in a way....cos it's quite a daunting prospect to have to go out to the working world. I've been asking myself, 'Would i be willing to compromise my faith to do well at work?', 'Will i slip away?', 'Should i apply for less demanding jobs so that i wont be too caught up with work and will have time for other things?', 'Money's not everything, but you want to live a comfortable life rite? How are you going to earn enough to support your lifestyle expectations?', etc etc. I'm just holding on to the knowledge that He has my future in His hands, and that until now, every stage of life has just gotten better and better. So there's no reason for that to stop happening now =) |
