June.
June's here, we have 6 more to go and comes 2012.
Been hovering around for 3 months, finding different kinds of odd jobs. I, literally went for more than 10 interviews (choosy isn't good, really). I been offered 4, and rejected. The last interview I went, I didn't have any hopes for it at all.
They want more experiences level, more higher qualifications. I have none of them. I wasn't that confident in my interview, but I was talkative and joking around with the two accountants who interviewed me. Got home after that, went to the forest to cycle, left my phone home. I don't like carrying devices with me when I need to breathe.
The day which I had interview, the evening which I got home from the forest. I had 6 miss calls from phone and home. I WAS ACTUALLY BEEN OFFERED! & was told to come to work the next day! Which surprises me much, on the same day I had interview, I gotten the job immediately? (Well, that shows I have potential, lolz.)
I was then working at The Salvation Army THQ. Everytime I happen to pass by there, all I know that The Salvation Army is a charitable organization, donating stuffs. Well I didn't know it was a church too, but we called it the 'corps'. I was told to come for the next day coz it is devotion day every thursday and the pastor welcomed me to the big family. There was 50+ strangers, I was excited thus shy, definitely.
On my first day, officially working as a Account Assistant at The Salvation Army. I was the youngest of all in the family and broke the record. 19 and everyone called me the 'small girl' and still have long way to go.
On my first day, I met all sorts of people working. Mostly seniors. But I thank god, my senior who is going to teach me on my first day was a 1996's ITE BISHAN ACCOUNTING GRAD. She's a great mentor.
You definitely wondered, what am I accounting to for? Donations? The answer is No. There's childcares, there's boys home and girls home, special needs for children and elderly homes in singapore. I am in charging of Malaysia's. And will be taking over Singapore's next year.
Its' been a week I've been working there now. Feeling bad, I wouldn't say pity, for the homes' in malaysia. Somehow realised different people have different kinds of life. I am fortunate, happy. Never will I ask and pray for more.
People there are very very nice. Whenever I knock off 1 hour late, they will look surprised, although I finished my work at 3, and been staring off the computer doing nothing.
I am looking forward to learning new things and bring good for the company.
But I would say study life and working life are TWO DIFFERENT cases. You don't apply all the maths to working life. You apply only one maths to working life. We studied hard for the knowledge, for the cert. But I would definitely encourage all my friends studying in POLY now, strive for the best.
Own that cert, get a higher position have a higher pay. That's why we study for.

About the blog
This blog is, in essence, an outlet for me to vent and has been for many
years. It is filled to the brim with daily observations possessing little - if
any - substance or value, alongside a mass of photos (the majority of which are
of myself. But why bother suppressing your vanity, right?).
I took on to the blogging scene many moons ago when I used to 'typE lykk diiSh'
and when Britney Spears was still hot and weighed 20kgs less. So to say that a
lot has changed thence would be beyond an understatement.
Given the numerous instances when I wanted to shut this blog down (due to
schooling and general disinterest), this site is still going strong after
several name changes and countless redesigns. Gotta pat myself on the back for
that.
I can only hope that you like what I do. :)
