Been busy at work.



Someone took 2 weeks leave so I had to cover her job while someone else covers mine.

New system introduced at work, working out notes for everyone.
Everyone's saying I look like I'm a stock broker cause I'm using 2 computers. -.-
1 server for the new system, 1 for normal day to day usage.

Too busy with work that every night I'm too tired to blog. :(

When my colleague's back, my supervisor will be going for his reservist and I'll need to cover his duties.. Sweet! Pray I'll not screw things up! Totally fear screwing up and getting fired! :(

Job Finding Experience.

Since someone requested, I shall blog about this a little..

Graduated with a Private Diploma in June 2009 and that's when I stated my job hunt. Knew I was going to move house soon, so I looked for temporary job nearby my parent's place in the South.

Worked for 5 months as a finance temp in a food and beverage company and then I did the unthinkable.. I actually left the company to rest while looking for a permanent job! Huge mistake!

If for any reason, you want to quit, always and I really mean ALWAYS make sure you got something else to do!!! Or a very huge savings account!

I went jobless from end of November 2009 all the way to Early March 2010! I was online all the time, searching through job websites for job opportunities and sending resumes once every couple of days.

In December 2009, I legally became the official Mrs W, and used a great part of my savings for the event.

Meanwhile, as my job searching continues.. I went for a couple of interviews all over the place. Mainly in the central area as I didn't know which area I will be moving to. Millennium Walk, Tanjong Pagar, Raffles Place, Sommerset and even some ulu industrial area in Upper Thomson.

Every interviewer tells me the same thing... We will contact you if you're shortlisted. And then I didn't hear from them again... Okay maybe not 100% never, cause a certain telecom service provider wanted to give me another chance for a interview but by then I actually manage to get a job already. :p

By mid February (Chinese New Year), I had thoughts of giving up job searching for a while and concentrate on my online business (which was not doing very well at the time because I didn't have the capital to get more stocks to sell.)

Start of March I was ready to give up when I receive a call for interview on Friday late noon for a interview on Saturday noon. I planned for it as the last interview until I move to my new place in mid March.

And... 30min after the interview, I got the job!! Woohoo~ Maybe it's the age of interviewer or something.. Somehow felt that we could click better.. Easier to open up and tada~ :) Or maybe I'm was really desperate for a job. :p


Conclusion: Looking for a job doesn't only need a clean resume + "interview homework". You would also need to believe in yourself, have the "never say die" attitude and some "缘分" too! :)

Those looking for a job, all the best and may you find a suitable job soon!

Love/Hate my job (Ranting post)

I love my job as much as I hate it.
Which is why I decide to work until I really really cannot take it..


I love it because it's what I like to handle. Figures and papers.
This job really suits me also because I hate dealing with people. :p

Hate it because my work keep piling up.
I must be really slow lah if not how come my work keep piling up??
I get stressed up when I have a lot of backlog that can't be cleared. I hate it more when some asshole keep hinting that I'm not working.. Like hello~~ I have more than one task and I always complete the more important task first ok!! All the important ones I complete liao loh. Plus I'm not supposed to stay for OT, so what you expect me to do? I want to stay also not allowed to because I'm just a temp..

Anyway my department all the girls still ok but that asshole, guy not guy, girl not girl de. also duno to count him as man anot. -.- I really don't like him yet I cannot be rude to him so I always answer him nicely. But today the other girls told me straight in my face that I cannot talk back to him if not he will go tell the manager and the manager always side the perm staffs de, so I will lose out.


Bah. So stressed out that every night don't sleep well. :( No one to rant to so I come here to rant loh.

Honestly, I can understand why the previous girl decide to leave > 1 month before her school starts liao. I remember asking her when her school starts and stuffs.. Now I finally understand! lol.


I will jia you! gambatte! add oil! whatever.. if I can't take it any longer, I will have to find a new job liao.. No money = no food. :( So now, I shall try to get some sleep. Hope I can sleep well tonight..
