Yea CNY is here! And along with it, a whole long weekend to enjoy. Now who wouldn't love it right haha. Yea, guess my body needs a break cause I have been pushing it rather harshly ever since I joined RecruitExpress. Somehow I feel like I have something to prove or sth. Bad habit of mine la haha. Or rather like I always wanna pia and do my best for as many things as possible that I do.
Anyway I hope that with the coming of the prosperous pig year, I would be prosperous in all faculties, be it wealth, health and career and studies. And of course everyone too la (how can I be a selfish person? I'm not lor! haha....)
Yep so Happy CNY all! Enjoy the long break!

CNY is coming!
Yesh, I can smell the festive breeze blowing oh so strongly now, coupled with the usual songs that blast thru the speakers at so many shops including NTUC and the likes. I duno why, but I am so anticipating this coming CNY. Maybe it's because I have already ORD-ed s it's like a renewed frredom for me? I remember telling myself not to fret about the 2 years cuz at least 2007's CNY will be spent "un-green"-ly. Yep.
And perhaps it;s also because my current job which doesn't happent o pay very well by the way, is stressing me out. Yep. How do I tell? I have a PFI to rely on. That' the Pimple on the Face Index. Pimples are starting to pop out again which doesnt augur well, especially not so when I am starting to take oral and superficial medication to combat it. Yes, It's an all-out war!
But I guess one should be open to new experiences. I should try to view my current "predicament" (oops there I go again with the cynicism) as an oppurtunity to "character-build" (I wonder why so many people like to use that phrase). I really do hope to learn quite a bit out of this.
Can't wait for the long CNY weekend. That plus the fact that February is a short month means that it'll be over soon, and that also means more time shaved off my current contract. Hopefully with the money that I have earned, I would be able to finance myself fully for my much-awaited trip to Russia and Mongolia aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway. It's gonna be such an experience.
CNY. Think of the pineapple tarts, the kueh bangkits, the bak kwas, ooooh. And of course the red packets. Hieh.

Flurry (not McFlurry)
Yes, flurry. I wonder if it's a proper word but I often find myself using it. Yep, since my last blog post, everything just passed in a flurry. Hmm it could also be because I was too tired to blog.
Once again I find myself opening my personal planner and looking at the notes i jotted down in order to recall what happened to me in these past 3 weeks. So anyway I have already ORD-ed! Haha. At long last. Come to think of it, the days in January passed pretty quickly, probably because we had clearance and other stuffs to do which always resulted in many half days "earned". Lol. Let's just keep it that way. :p
So I remember furiously sending out my resumes and going down for interviews with so many recruitment agencies. Yep, I always like to plan early and try to get a job before I can even commit so that hopefully I can start work immediately after I ORD. But now, working in Recruitexpress myself, I see why I so seldom offers for job beginning 2 weeks later but I keep getting calls for jobs beginning immediately.
ANd then it was Phuket. Ah yes, how could I forget Phuket. Going with Lionel. Pretty draining though, physcially and emotionally. It was definitely an up-and-down rollercoaster ride. I mean, like whoa. I did so many fun things too which I really enjoyed. The best part was that it wasn't so city-like unlike Bangkok. So it was all in all a very enjoyable experience. Nice people I met on the trip too, hearty conversations, new experiences.
So after coming back, I was "jobless" for a week. Which was really good to be honest cuase after coming back from Phuket exhausted and (sun)burnt, I really needed a good rest. So it was like mainly playing Final Fantasy Tactics on my PS1 for me. The game seems so revitalising even after so many years.
And just this Monday, I started work at RecruitExpress, hence the advertising on my MSN nick. Yes I know, I sound desperate but when you work in such a fast-paced, sales-oriented environment where only the fugures matter (relationships are not enough) and you could be put on the chopping block that easily (temp or perm alike), you will get desperate too haha.
I am staying on though. I really wanna push myself. I mean, you never know where your limits lie until you push yourself to that boundary right? I know one of my main weaknesses is that sometimes I dont really know when enough is enough but I am determined to work it out. Besides, there are some additional job perks that make the day that much easier to get through. Haha, let's just say that this job allows u to meet people from all walks of life and I have met fresh A level grads waiting for uni and one of them caught my attention so hmm... possibilities abound (or so I hope la hehe)
And on Friday, almost all of the temp staff of RecruitExpress from branches all over Singapore met at Village for dinner. Most of them are of the '88 batch, but at no time did I feel out of place. They (and myself) were so fun, enthusiastic, chatty, and everything positive that it felt like JTS/STJ or a JC class outing all over again. ANd I have not done something like this for a very very long time now (the last time was in J1 I believe?) It made me realise just the things I have been missing out on and the things I need to do for myself from time to time. I probably will remember that evening for a long time coming. The laughters and food we shared.
I wanted this 6 months from my ORD to the time my uni starts to be as meaningful and experiential as possible and I think working at RecruitExpress is contributing to this experience. Of course I will not be there till July, which means that I will defintely be trying out more new stuff.
Life is looking good now. Terence is satisfied. Very.
