lesson learnt
Sometime I find it a blessing even without a job.
I have encounter a interview today which let me learnt something which is on comparing jobs.
Here are my reflection:
Job A (today):
Everything is fine, arranged by job agency. Had a nice chat with a guy over the phone. First time speak for 9 mins and second time spoke for 15 mins. Decided to go for interview.
1) chinese female working enviornoment/ chinese speaking
2) no career advancement or training
3) pay as low as 1.2 to 1.3 (not negotiatable)
4) 5.5 days (need to take MRT and bus)
5) must contribute for long term (willing to teach...)
These are all matters which I mind, but although it is highlighted, i still went down for the interview.
It sounded like a high profile car company to me. To my dismay, I am disappointed that it is not what I expected.
And finally realise that I did not apply for this position instead what I send was application for IT position to another lady. Although my objective is IT/ Admin Support (some how miscommunicate)
My resume was landed with the consultant who worked hard and trying to assist me look for a job, I believe he is sincere and honest. Very good and kind traits for people like him.
But come to the moral of the story, shall i thank him for letting me learnt a lesson? or blame him for wasting my trip?
I laughed at myself telling my mum these, is like 2 doodles who dun noe anything and just agree with each other. And I am the one suffer.
Any way, my potential agency called me few hrs later after I agree to go for Job A interview.
So this Job B:
covering 4 months for staff going maternity
in a car company at Paya Lebar(not sure what is the job scope)
maybe is "auntie" job
hourly paid
need to attend interview also (not 100%) get
Shall I give it a try?

happy or not happy
I don't know what to write about my blog
First, I am thinking abt what is life. Then I tot of rainbows. so the blogspot rainbowsconner-whatislife formed.
Yeah!
I love to suft the net. I have a nice quote here:
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
~Albert Camus
Recently, I have also read about how to view life positively and be more optimistic. I have read a book on stress control. It helps, life is all about letting go and be merry.
Think about how far we have went through, what we have done so much to acheive what we have now and how our thinking and mindset which make up our behaviour, and we do have success and failures.
Nothing in life comes easy, everything have a price to pay.
Why are we brought up in this matter. What is our life make up? Is life in SG really so bad?
Think again, and we should be thankful and grateful to live in a safe environment.
We are complex. Everyone is intelligent in a way or another. Our minds can do wonders. We can create nice things, we can make other people's day or spoil other's day. Therefore everything we do, we should reflect on ourself.
I believe in the song <梦在手里> by joi chua and particularly love this phrase in it.
相信只要努力会有奇迹, 爱可以操纵天气
I wished reader here who are having personal problem to always remember of how we have come by to this stage and keep dreaming of how well they are.
Hope this entry can lighten your day a bit and I am looking into how to add some music in this blogspot.
Have a sweet day ^_^
