I was still feeling damned bored despite the fact that for these few days, I have been out bugis-shopping with my mum, sis and my friends. Even retail therapy wouldn't cheer me up the way it would before. Could it be the fact that my jobless status is bringing me down especially since my friends who graduated with me are all working either happily or 'painfully' now. Sidetracked abit: My msn pal was asking me why do i choose such a sickening nick (a row of smiley and frown faces) and I said that explains my current mood. "Why Smiley?" - endless holidays. "Why frown?" - same answer. DUH...
Then again, I had a phone chat last midnight with a not-so-close friend who was a top student then in my JC class and she managed to cheer me up 'unintentionally'. She was telling me that she has quite a handful of offers from big companies but she turned them down, reasoning that their offer wasn't good enough though it sounds pretty OK to me. Look! Isn't $2200 as starting pay for graduate good enough but then of course she was saying that company is only willing to pay more for honour graduate and us(non-honours) staying in that company for long won't do us good! If i were in her shoes, I wouldn't have thought so far and would accept the job right away. And there's still many more reason why she turn the offers down which i won't mention here. The contrast is that while we are all waiting anxiously for any, just ANY call for interview, she has the luxury of fussing over the offers!
Anway I do actually have a job offer, somehow i turned it down becuase of its unattractive salary, While my another friend went for it last thursday meaning i'm the last person in my group without job, I started to regret my decision when my dad sorta say I should go for it to gain experiencee. Shrug. I told my 2 friends about the job and they agree with my decision. I am glad. My smarty friend manage to knock some sense into me and now i think all these weeks waiting for a RIGHT job is much worth for. I hope what she says turn true for me.
I know the moment when I've gotten a decent job, it's not going to be like now ever again. I will start to have monday blues, morning rush, boss-says-it-all etc. Now are the days which I should be enjoying to the fullest! So my mum and I start planning on holidays. Somehow, due to my dad work nature, we can only do 'last-minute-booking-style' and it's really hard to find a travel agency that has the immediate vacancy especially it's the peak season now. We combed the entire areas in Chinatown for all the agencies that we could find but still our efforts was futile. Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Indonesia are our choices and despite the wide choice, the earliest availability date that we could get is July. DUH.....oK then, no travelling. How about some outing? I texted almost all the people on my phone list even those long lost ones and almost none appears free/interested enough to get me off from boredom. One even says she's broke! I'm complaining!!! I hope MY won't get to read this entry too soon or else she will hagger me to have dinner with somebodies! I don't think i have the drive to meet some new friends cos now I'm in bad shape due to my gluttony. Yah, I'm one of those who thinks highly of first impression.
Anway, I haven been feeling less inclined to blog for some unknown reason recently. (I wanted to blog actually but everytime i switched on my laptop, my pointer will move uncontrollably over the MU icon.) Fortunately, I was skimming thru Xiaxue's blog (I still a vivid fan of her blog even though i stop reading hers when she join the singtel blog-contest) where I clicked on a source to play some bday piano pieces. It got on to me and that's why I'm here blogging this entry. Maybe next time when I commit such 'lazy-to-blog' crime, i should listen to piano pieces to get me into the mood to write.
I just found out i quite like chill out music. Click here and here to listen what I'm listening now.
