jobless blues

Ahhhhhhh it sucks to not be able to get a job. Its irritating to get one's hope up but in the end get rejected, or worse still, to be left with no reply.

Kelly services called me again and to confirm that I was still looking for a job and they said that they are in contact with Changi airport and will be confirming my job in about 2 days. I know I should be thankful that they did reply and stuff but I really need them to reply by 2 days so that I can start the very next day. In that way, I would be able to work for exactly 3 months. Time is running out and I'm tired of looking through classifieds.

"Take a deep breath man. Its not the end of the world."

Ok let me find things to be thankful about.

1. I am thankful that its just a temporary job search which is actually not necessary as compared to those who need it for their bread and butter.
2. I got replies
3. There are still chances for me to find a job
4. I have relatively more time as compared to most of the guys who enlist early
5. I have more time to relax

Ok I feel slightly better already.

Ikea!

Decided to take a break from job-hunting today. I went to Queensway shopping centre and Ikea today with my family. Ikea never fails to amaze me with the home decor and furniture. My dad bought a chair cause it was going for really cheap. It however needed assembling and thats where I came in.

AFTER

A beauty isn't she? Very comfortable too!


Now these just serve to sweeten the deal.

rain rain rain

Went to Kelly services today to sign up for the data admin job and I have to say, its the most friendliest and welcoming job recruitment agency that I have been to. It was rather surprising though to learn that I had to sit for a test to test my typing speed and skills. It was not bad though. The woman told me that i only made 5 mistakes and was "above average". The best thing was that she took the time to explain about the job to me and actually called me back in the late afternoon just like she said she would. Too bad the job position was postponed. The good news is that shes trying to get me another job at changi airport. Hows that for good service? If I do get the job, I'll write in to the newspaper to commend her.

You know job searching does change my perception of my lifestyle. In the past, I had no qualms about spending money be it on food, entertainment etc. now however, its hard to spend knowing how many hours one has to work to pay for it. Wish I had a job in the first place though. Ok. I'll continue reading the classifiedads till then.

Ohh... and on another subject altogether, I finally executed my plan. It doesnt seem that likely that it will work but who knows. Insya'allah, I may just end up the victor. Sure felt stupid doing it though

Arabian Nights

A non-emotional entry would be a refreshing change wouldn't it. Here is one.

Went job-hunting at Suntec and Marina Square today and it sucked cause there was just no job vacancies. Despite that, a welcomed respite would be the 3 scoops of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream. :)

As night beckoned, I went to Samar's with Hor. It was really great, just chilling out there and reminising on the good ol' times during scouts. I have the pics on my HP but unfortunately, I don't have a bluetooth dongle. So if you wanna be nice, please get one for me.

Ok. I have to get it out of my system. I'm trying not to think about my problems too much but I know what I have to do/can do. After that, I can only hope for the best. I guess I'm feeling much better as compared to before. Alhamdullilah

depressitivity

Ironic ain't it ?
How I thought that I having the time of my life and that nothing could go wrong
That nothing could bring me down.
Ironic how it took a leisure holiday to bring me down.

Can't sleep so I guess I have to resort to blogging to calm me down.
Having a rather unconventional idea on how to resolve it.
Definately not full-proof and many things could go wrong.
I'll still try though cause I wanna practice what I preach.
Ya Allah, please help my plan succeed.

The Radiance Of An Opium Dream

The Radiance Of An Opium Dream bridged

I beheld a figure, majestic beyond comprehension.
Dark, lucious eyes of warm olive,
Complexion of soft cream.
Hair akin to gentle waves of seas

The long, cold gravel road,
The soft greenery pastures of nature,
Of which gentle rain softly visited.
She was of to me,
A figure distanced by social decorum and humanity

As time became lesser still
The journey of every grain in an hourglass
Our eyes met
A spark!
Alas, courage faltered.

As the curtains drew to a close,
Eyes met again (and again)
Gazes of soft emotional longing and regret.
It is of little meaning, (or so they said)
A mere leaf in a forest
History repeats itself,
A rolling sphere

Yet, I dream and long
For what could have been sweet eternity.


The Radiance Of An Opium Dream unbridged

I beheld a figure, majestic beyond comprehension.
Dark, lucious olive eyes,
Of cream complexion
And hair akin to gentle waves in the sea

The long, cold gravel road,
The soft greenery of nature
Of which gentle rain softly visited.
She was of to me,
A figure hidden by human shyness and humanity.

As time became lesser still
The journey of every grain in an hourglass.
Our eyes met,
A spark!
Alas, courage faltered.

As the curtains drew to a close,
Eyes met again (and again)
Gazes of soft emotional longing and regret
It is of little meaning, they said.
Like a mere leaf in a forest
History repeats itself, a rolling sphere.

Yet I dream and long,.
For what could have been sweet eternity.
