2nd Interview

The second interview was really better than the first. The HR lady was really friendly and told me everything I wanted to know. The project manager who interview me also describe everything for me to know. I think the only thing which was in the way was the notice period that make him have second thought. The place was a bit far from boon lay but its in the west so it is still alright for me. Now got to do is wait for call.

MF suddenly asking me wanted to go Batam to relax. That the only place he always go as he couldn't left his company behind for too long. He has been to Batam twice this year and he is still planning to go there. So he ask me if me and my wife wanted to go as his wife AL is not free. The last time we went for holiday together was in year 2005 I think. That was when his two kids was not born yet. I shared a room with him and his wife as I was single at that time and now he has to share a room with us this time. So we will be going Batam in April after my exams, before my wife's birthday trip to the land of the smiles for more shopping.

First Interview

After 11 years of stable life, I started a new journey so I went to my very first interview. It was very technical, not as what I have expected. So in the end, I need to wait for phone call to see if there is another interview to make sure if I can get it. Before and after the interview, I went to ask two of my friends about job related stuff. CS told me that he had just changed job and the new company has given him a pay raise, at least two thousands extra from his previous company. He thought he was really lucky to get that job, I thought so too. To get such a big pay raise is really such a big feat, I hope next time I could have this luck too. I talked to my other friend MF after the interview and such pay for that post is acceptable, but being no experience in this field, it is hard to get that amount for me.

So lets hope for the best and continue my journey.

Finally

Finally finish my two rounds of interview, seem like easy for the first one while the second one was really tough. But after the second interview, what he say was true, it will be difficult for me out there. Since I have make this move, I have prepared to brave the world outside. Everyone seem happy to leave, but for me it is kind of mixed feeling, after all it have been 11 years. Had my fair share of fun, growing up in a protected environment, learning to drive and knowing new friends, going to clubbing and going overseas to work, learning to take care of oneself and helping out each other, learning to cook and getting married, learning to take care of wife and studying for degree. All were done in this 11 years, but it's time to move on. What these 11 years have given me will be put close in my heart, the friends that I have made will always still be friends. Lets hope there will be a better future for me.

It's getting too draggy

Felt so angry after I found out that I couldn't get an appointment with A because B wanted to transfer me to another department and he didn't seem that he need to let me know. I was asking A's PA to book for appointment but she keep delaying me. This make me feel suspicious so I text C to find out what happen. C did not know what was the problem so I text B instead. He then reply me about this issue. I quickly call B and told him I'm not interested about this, so he then ask me to look for him tomorrow to talk again. This will be the sixth time I'm talking to him with no outcome every time. Hope this can be solved immediately.

PS: A is B's boss, B is C's boss, C is my boss.

Talking about the Climate Change again. This has been getting quite popular lately as everyone now has been feeling the heat. Some say the temperature is rising because of the human activities done to the earth which is causing the ice to melt and sea level to rise. But others say that heating up is a cycle which happened every few thousands years, where after Ice Age there will be a heat cycle aka global warming. So who is correct? We will never know unless you can live for another few thousand years to experience the Ice Age. Only our descendants will know.

Waiting again

Call the PA today and she told me got to wait till next week again. It seems like the waiting game had to continue. Maybe I have been there for almost 11years, there is always a pull factor behind it. But since I make up my mind I should not change it. My new boss in the department talked to me and wanting to change my mind again. He was very persuasive, but I did not move. I didn't want to change my mind again and again. I know out there it might be a jungle compare to the cozy forest I had been in, but if I don't go out to the jungle, I will not know how to survive if really things turns bad. So lets hope next week will be a better week.

Do you know that Singapore is trying to turn from a garden city to a city of garden? Being a garden city is not good enough now as climate change has threaten to change the life of the Earth. That is why now more building are going green, more parks are building on the rooftop of buildings. So lets do our part by going by giving back to nature. Conserve energy and build more greenery to save the Earth. Go natural.
