interesting day

hai.. after been to 3 interviews, I sstil felt very nervous before interviews.. I cant be like myself.. don't know is it because I not comfortable in formal wear.. Or I have to really say I had lost my confidence ever since Honours presentation n viva.. I cant present as well as I did during poly.. Cant imagine how I managed to get the highest score and best review from the lecturer.. I so miss that confident me who can present n talk well..

Today woke up by phonecalls, first call is regarding this insurance company job. Went for the interview the previous day, I felt ok only.. I even intentionly choose undesirable trait during the character test so that I wont be selected for the job but sadly plan backfired.. The lady in the phone mentioned that the ppl are very impressed with my performance and now the manager wan to meet me for discussing more n details about the salary. I politely deferred the meeting to later date by saying I need to discuss with family members.. Cant imagine myself workin as sales management trainee aka insurance agent..

Immediately after I end this call, another call got through. It is from another job agent who got me a interview with nanos (biopolis; a star). She was informing me that both my referees did not reply her regarding the referees back up on my work attitude. She even ask me whether I can think of the third referee.. my head was bursting at that time.. cant think of another one in such a short time.. So I told the agent that I tried to contact my referees first.. By the time I end the call, I have to get ready for the fourth interview..

Went to the beautiful school for the interview, the school has its own track field.. nice place.. can feel that the ambience is also different once i stepped in the building. The guards are very very friendly.. so friendly that I feel so welcome.. haa.. not like those horrible guards in msia.. like they are big shot.. My interview was a casual meet up with a teacher. She was hoping to find a staff that help out in the research lab of the school and selected candidates will have to go for second interview.. She asks few qns and I just answered as well as I can.. Luckily I manage to be more calm this time.. maybe bcos I am facing one ppl. After a short q&a session, I follow the teacher to HR department where she need to talk to the HR officer and later get back to me. When she came back, she asked whether I can wait a while as the HR officer went to check if the vice principle free because they want to arrange for the second interview immediately. I was surprise and of cos I wait. Later the door swing open and I heard:" Yes, that's me. I am here" I look up.. saw a cool lady with PLU aura walked in and she is the vice principle.. I had my second interview with the vice principle and the same teacher. The teacher just asked one more qns and the vp asked 3 or 4 qns and she declared she had no more qns and concluded the interview.. I was shocked again cos this interview end even faster than I thought and when I about to get up from my seat, the vp asked whether am I a hakka.. wow.. same qns poped up again..reminded me the interview that i had 4 years ago at nyp.. due to my unique surname and only hakka ppl have that weird english surname.. ppl can guess my dialect..

After the interview.. I got a call from the agent regarding my referees. My referees have response to her..and she thanks me for the effort and will get back to me as soon as possible..

Today, in short, spent whole day finding job and hope my job hunt can end soon.. Quite like the school interview today.. maybe becos it is a sch environment.. n it is quite stable job although won be having high pay and not much corporate ladder to climb.. ...hai.. hai.. hai.. hai.. hai..

research job or lab tech job...
contract job or perm job..
no bonous or got bonus..

how well planned a revenge can be?

watched interesting movie titled oldboy. A korean movie which storyline was adapted from a japanese comics.
The movie start from a man named Daesu was drunk and his friend bailed. Both of them went to a telephone booth and wished Daesu's daughter happy birthday. Daesu was then kidnapped and imprisoned in a room, fed with dumplings every meal, for fifteen years. When he was released, he met a young female sushi chef and he spent his first night out at her room. Daesu planned to revenge and find out why is he imprisoned for fifteen years. while pursuing for the truth, both Daesu and the female chef fell in love and had intercourse. In the end Daesu found out that from the moment he was imprisoned till to his meeting with the female chef was arranged and planned by a guy named woojin. Woojin want to make Daesu suffered because Daesu spread words that woojin had relationship with his sister and his sister was pregnant and caused woojin's sister to commit suicide. The twist in the story is that the female chef is Daesu's daughter. And the ending is very open end and quite controversy cos u will be wondering what will happen to the incest relationship.

After watching the movie, I went to read the original manga and the story is different and the reasonale why the "woojin" want revenge is even more ridiculous in manga version than the movie version. A nice example of how the movie version is better than the manga version.

Next watched a horror movie titled three extremes 2: dumpling story. Disgusting way to attain eternal youth. However in this story, incest topic came up again when a 15 year old year had abortion because it is her father's child. At that moment, I remember a story told by my aunty's driver about a year ago. He was asking a father regarding the incest topic and why certain ppl love to commit this kind of affair. The father replied by imagine you had planted and nurtured a fruit tree for many years and finally the tree bore fruits the first time. So will you eat the fruits or give it to some one else? The answer indicated that this father will conduct an incestious crime on his family. WTF is that guy thinking to compare human to a fruit tree.

~can only say movie depict real life~

a very nice sad emo song..

Really love internet.. so glad the existent of internet have helped me found alot of soundtracks I feel in love with but could not find it. I can remember I was searching for the Cruel intention soundtrack by Edward Sheamur for a few days many many many years ago when I just had 56k modern, sadly I cant find it.. I visited many cd shops and websites and found out tat the recording company did not produce it. Luckily, last year I managed to find it available for dl.. love and really grateful to tat kind-hearted person who created the torrent and the seeders.

I always love martial art shows especially during Brigitte Lin (林青霞) era. Today many thanks to streaming video (pps), I found a very old hong kong martial art series that was released during 1996(The swordsman , 剑啸江湖) that I watched when I was a teen.. I also fall in love with its theme song despite I don't understand cantonese at that time. 13 years later, I finally know who is the singer and the song title. Immediately, I try to dl the song.. a very nice sad emo song...and now I understand the song better bcos I found the lyrics too ...


麦子杰-怕你看见我悲伤

说过永远爱你这么一句话
mentioned this sentence:" I love you 4ever
未会料到去支撑我痛苦以后
never expect it will support me after my pains
面对世上更多挑战 面对更危险
compared to other challenges, it is more dangerous facing you
怀念里全是你的片段
every images in my memory consist you

变化却太快了不可改变吧
however changes occur too fast and that cant be change
面对着你 更加心痛更加无话
facing u hurt me more in the heart and speechless
就算我愿 豁出生死 但欠了时机
I m willing to sacrifice my life for you but lack of opportunity
其实你不要问 明白当中真假
in fact u dont want to ask and u understand wat are truth and lies

怕你看见我悲伤 闪于湿湿的眼光
scare to let u see me sad with teary eyes
绝望或是受到迫害 不会对你讲
will not tell you that I feel hopeless or encounter harm

怕你看见我悲伤 孤身消失于远方
scare to let u see me sad, I disappeared alone in far away land
现在定是令你失望 不寄望被原谅
now I've disappointed u and I'm not expecting to be forgiven
离别你 只盼望瞒着一些真相
leaving you hoping that I can hide some truth from u
离别你 跟你是同样一般思想
leaving you and spent time with you are just normal thoughts
