Jobstreet.com

Almost all of my colleagues, peers, friends, anyone... anyone that's taking part in practicum aka industrial training aka internship, has make a head start since last month. My progress? None, until yesterday. Stressed of how behind I am, with the fear of being condemned to an uncivilized work environment in god knows where, I decided to register myself in Jobstreet.com and apply a few places that appeals to me. I just copy my resume straight from the uum portal and paste it in Jobstreet. Lets see... name, address, locations.... computer skills?? Flash definitely because that's the reason I am in UUM right now, and I know I'm bound to learn Dreamweaver, photoshop and illustrator in this 6 month before my internship, and finally, the only software I learned this 2 and half years; 3dx Max 2009. Click click click and send. I mean, a little white lie doesn't hurt right. I am not lying about the skills I have, I am just.... writing my resume in advance because I am bound to learn that 3 skills anyway. There. I won't feel as guilty anymore for not doing anything.

Then I learned how wrong I am. The next night, I received a call

"Hi, you applied in jobstreet asking for internship right?"

"Yes"
"It says here you know photoshop andf dreamweaver?"
"................... Yes....." *Fingers crossed
"Can you come for an interview this thursday?"
"I might not make it because I am still in Kedah. Im going back on wed night. May I know what this job is about"
"Well lets say we want you to design a brochure with photoshop, will you be able to do it?"
"......... I guess... Do I have to post it up to the internet?"
"You might need to do some posting up."
"ok..."
"I'll send you an e-mail about the details, this is my number. Tell me bout it ok."
"ok thanks"
"and bring any portfolio if you have"
"sure"

I, again, just dug a hole for me to bury myself into. Please attend my funeral.

Grouping

Have you ever had the experience where you wish that someone will be or will not be in the same group with you? That one person that you wish would be close to you; or even you are so awkward with that you really just pray to god that you can be in any group the lecturer send you to as long as its not his. This is what happened to me. When Mr. Ng was about to divide us into groups, there are these 2 people where 1 I hope will be in the same group with me, and the other I am just awkward with.

I am in group 9. When the latter utter the word "nine", a shiver went up my spine. How can this be. Of the 9 groups over there, what are the chances that out of 45 students, the 2 of us will end up in the same group. It must be the worst day ever. Without wanting to make a scene, I dragged my chair to our group. Surprise, surprise, the former guy is standing right there beside the latter guy.

The world makes sense again. Give and Take; that's what I learned.

Robert Pattinson

Yes! 4 blog posts later It's finally almost time for the class to end. Another short post will fill this remaining 7 minutes perfectly. Lately, like so many other before me, I'm obsessed with this guy:


No, not Robert Pattinson. That's Edward Cullen and I just adore him. Fictional characters are always more perfect, comforting, and safer. Why safer u ask? Well u can't possibly stalk a fictional character and get arrested right.

30 seconds

I just learned 2 days ago that a 30 sec presentation can get you into shock. It's the kind where you get the sense of impending doom. When she uttered these exact words:" We have to present it today", I went into shock. Everything went totally blank before I tried to calm myself by chanting it's gonna b ok... it's gonna be ok.... Only 30 seconds done and I presented it after being pressured by Mr. Paolo. Hopefully someday I'll find it funny, after the initial embarrassment has died down.

Christmas 2009

13 more days to go and still not even a hint of this festive season while I'm far north. But there's nothing much to look forward to anyway. I doubt I can celebrate it with you this year.

17 days of MISC-3p Prestariang

In a way, I've learned more in these short 15 days compared to my 2 and a half years in UUM. Though it would've been nicer if the hostel rent didn't include close and personal experiences with wild lives - such would be roaches, lizards, nests' of giant red ants, swarms of tiny black ants, families of cats, and the ever popular monkeys. The animals here are famous for the tricks they can do. From the thrilling and exciting "Kill Me if You Can" and "Whack a Cockroach" performance by this ancient insect dated to the prehistoric days, to the amazing invading skills done by the monkeys. Visitors be warned though, you might lose all your food possessions to the primates and be sure to consult your doctor beforehand if you have heart complications.

Can't wait till I leave this place. Countdown: 4 days

Maaf, anda berhutang

My results are still pending unless I paid up to UUM. Jeez, why do I always do this to myself. Now its 2 days of nervous waiting before Bendahari finally reopens. Then only I can unlock my results. Butterflies in my guts....
