I dunno what it is... that makes me feel like this...

i dunno what hit me... seriously... i got a paper on monday but i have been slacking the whole day and not doing much... manage to catch a movie still, watched man u's amazing comeback and bolton's drawing with chelsea... i know i am going to regret this come monday... worse!! i'm playing soccer tmr... seriously... i need to snap out of it... i have no discipline at all when everyone else is busy mugging... i'm just indulging... in this....

Okayyyy, I'm in... but...

interview was today.. it was a great fun waking up preparing for it and dressing up for it with felix's help. he was fussing over us like a seasoned campaigner... knowing all the little tricks of dressing that comes along... i must say its good to go for an interview with no stress or no expectations.. cos i wasnt even sure if this is the path that i wanna take.

reaching there.. the queue was like snakes, hundreds came and many still queuing up when we left... tt shows how coverted the job was, as viewed by others. but why did i take such a non-chalent attitude towards it.. the dream to fly and the good pay was certainly attractive... but it lacked something which i was looking for more permanently... anyway, it was a good experience coming through 2 rounds of interviews... knowing how highly valued we are to them. feels good somehow... like addie says, it feels assured to know that you have something to fall back on before graduation... that is quite true... but all along i already had something to fall back on in the first place and i am building on another one... starting a business perhaps. much still in the midst of researching and brainstorming. this probably just enhances it, a dream fulfillment... really quite shiok... maybe i will treasure this opportunity more now since i witnessed hundreds and thousands falling from the hurdles and being turned away... yea maybe i should consider it more seriously. I'll see how things go. Feels just like a major singapore idol session at the sheraton towers hotel today.

besides the banking jobs, a vacancy for sales and marketing at one of the top hotels locally. i stand a pretty good chance at it... sigh... dilemma sets in again... a dream or a longer term career. forgoing the dream, i might never get it again... but at the expense of my career? is it worth it? i dunno...

wait an see i guess, all i can do now is to apply for vigorously to jobs which i wanted after exams and hopefully, i get something i like...

but...
before that... studying should be top priority... slacked for 2 days already... its unbecoming of me... Discipline please and Dun Slack....!!!!

PS: Jessica Tan won MSU 2007... seriously.. i feel that she is the only one worthy... pretty, poised, confident and sweet... SIA trained stewardess, unsurprisingly no one else came close. joey almost did, but the winner was always clear. Peggy gave a damn good answer in the Q&A and Campbell was confident, cheeky and witty... something which no one else was... pity yiming din get a chance at the Q&A... i would have loved to hear her answers... hey... you hear me girl??? haha...

Major Dilemma

cos i might be going for the air steward interview
still deciding... major dilemma
how much do i want to be a steward??
i wouldnt mind doing... but there are pros and cons for me which i cant decide which is heavier
-bonded for 5 years but can leave after 2 years without having to pay compensation
so i will be leaving after 2 years if i take it up
-the pay is good, min 3.5k
-i get to see the world for free, which is something i always wanted
-and this is something which i can do only when i am young
-future prospects? no future prospects cos i wun be staying for longer than 2 years,
tts for sure
-the bad thing is when i come out, i got nothing to show for in my cv... cos for 2 years... all i learnt is serving people and i travelled the world so if i wanna do something else or enter another field... i will be severely disadvantaged cos i'm out of touch with the world
-and it doesnt really make sense to stay cos steward is on a 5 year contract basis pending on performance review so even if maybe after 10 years... your performance is bad... u wanna stay.. they will chop you oso... den i will be like 35? without a career...
-business... banking... marketing... hospitality... is what i wanna do but being a steward now may not necessarily disadvantage me, if i know how to make e rite moves
but coming out from this job.. will only help is hospitality, but compared to my peers... they wud have gone far ahead in their career... 2 years... is not a long time.. not a short time either. by then if i come out... there are certain fields which i cannot enter anymore, like banking for example
-den the drawback is... i might live to regret this opportunity cos now is mass recruitment... its easier to get in now.. cos of the need for cabin crew for the new airbus

i'm saying all these on the assumption that i get in lah
i might not get in afterall oso
if i dun... den i mean i know at least i tried lah... but its dumb.. cos i wasted 1 day where i cud be studying
i'm just going round and round lah... its damn irritating

friend: but how much is ur exams gg to affect ur overall gpa standing in e end?
it'd still be e same as e rest of ur previous tErms' of exams, rite?
but this interview will affect ur future job prospects

u are right...
so i am going afterall...
