Job Woes
Tuesday, April 22, 2008

Ever since I posted my resume on JobsDB and on Monster I've received 3 calls and ALL from insurance companies.

I've been rejected by the company I thought would be the best place for me to work in.. even though I thought I aced the interview. You know? Like the walk out of the interview room feeling that I had the interviewer all impressed type of feeling? Still they don't want me.. after such a long delay of no news.

I'm going for another employment opportunity tomorrow but I'm only considered for a position that wasn't my first choice. A bit disappointed, but still, it's a good organisation.

Results still matter after all.


*SIGH*

Last bout of examinations already and I'm still tortured with a closed book memory intensive paper. Why can't they utilize my brain in better ways?

Emo Nemo
Friday, April 18, 2008
It been some time since I wanted to post all these.. but just lazy..

We just elected our new Block Head and Vice Block Head.. the 4th time I'm going through this process.. and probably the last. It's interesting how nothing has really changed the past few years.. the way the discussions go through.. the way people's votes are swayed.. the way the final 2 are chosen.. and today we choose the 2 that will join the long list of Block D Block heads that I have ever known...
Melvin Pao.. Tshen.. Jianfa.. Francis.. Me.. Xuanjie.. Kaiwen.. Lionel..
and Vice-Blockheads..
Weiliang.. Shenjau.. Matt.. Jingwen.. Cailin.. Caroline.. Justin...

Good luck to the new two!


Attended the last lecture and last tutorial of my life 2 days ago. Tong Yen Wah rocks.. he actually treated us PIZZAS just before lessons ended.. and it's not the usual Canadian 2-for-1 pizza cheaponehnehpok students like us will order.. it was PIZZA HUT!! *slurps*

Check out the pizzas!!


Last Lecture!!


So here ends my university life.. 10 more days and I will be taking my last first exam paper and 8 days later I'd be taking my last academic examination paper of my life. Here goes 18 years of education.. back in 1990 when I was Primay One.. to 2008 now a full fledged University graduate. Still, I lament that I had to end it in such a lousy way in NUS.

I found this on a friend's blog which applies to me terribly aptly...
"That pretty much sums up my life at the current state. This is ‘the’ defining moment of my life. I’ll graduate into the real world, and into debt. I’ll be officially jobless in 2 weeks time. I’m single, and luckless in the love department. My total net worth is the $500 I have in my account."
Maybe I have less in my account.

Chih Wen just showed me this speech by Steve Jobs at Stanford Commencement in 2005. At first I was reluctant watching it.. knowing that it would be 14 minutes long and probably wouldn't be interested enough to watch the full thing. But I was wrong. For what Steve Jobs spoke about probed my very thoughts exactly.. and I almost stood up and gave him a standing ovation in front of the computer screen. I think all graduating students should listen to this speech.. and ask ourselves what we really want in life

That again, I'm quite sure I'm not ready to meet with failure in life just yet. What I want to do and seriously love to do.. I know won't bring me far.

Stepping into the adult world is something I truly dread. Soon I'd be slogging out with my colleagues.. pressured by my parents to find a girlfriend.. thinking of how to make more money.. balancing and maintaining past and new friendships.. lamenting my loss of freedom and the utmost carefreeness I have now.

For now, I just hope to get the job that I want.
Why hasn't anybody called me yet?
Please call me before I head off for my grad trip. I don't want to lose out just because I'm off enjoying myself in Europe while all my peers are happily snapping away jobs that I could potentially land myself into instead...



The video above is our batch's Seniors Farewell Video. I really wanted to make a good video to leave behind something that our batch will be remembered by.. I wanted to break the music video tradition and start a new trend.. but somehow it didn't turn out too well. I guess I should have had more control in the overall directing and scriptwriting to make the video more cohesive.. or I guess I should have stuck with a music video instead.

That again.. yeah.. if the Block D song had come out earlier than the video brainstorming.. shooting the music video for the song would have been so much more worth remembering.


Yeap.. the above is the Block D song that I fully composed.. lyrics by Shyuan.. Jingwen.. and one or 2 lines by myself. At first I wasn't fully confident of my song writing skills.. but I was so happy that everyone liked it! Actually I was also impressed with myself for arranging the song.. with noteworthy composer then with Garageband on the Mac.. then finally adding the guitar parts by Jingwen and the singing parts with Audacity.

Now I'm trying to break away from the piano-woodwind-brass instruments and experiment with other instrument combinations.. and new chord progressions.. and then find another reason to write my next song =)


So again I ask myself what did I get out of Block D? I can't deny I had a lot of fun these few years.. made a lot of friends.. did a lot of crazy things.. but all these will just become distant memories soon.

Just like many things in life.. You know that you will lose it in time to come.. you know that you can't go on with life clasping onto what you treasure now.

You know you have to let go.

But I'll treasure what I have in this last 18 days.
Eighteen short days.

i woke up at 5 am after 2 terrible report-writing nights and this video made me cry


It's been 4 long years.
Seniors farewell has never made seniors so emo.

I'll blog about the song and the video soon.
