the process of job searching

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

yeap i’ve reached the point of my life whereby i finally have to stand on my own two feet, earn my own keep, and find financial independence.
sounds easy, yet it’s still a big transition.
sounds immense, yet it’s still a necessity.
sounds forced, yet it’s still an exciting time.
Went for Johnson & Johnson interview last friday. my first interview. it was at Conrad Hotel, and i didnt really perform up to my own expectations. Interviewers were great people though, and really had me thinking on what i want. Was pretty demoralised, but managed to pull myself together after meeting sweets. That was when CF called and told me i actually left a pretty good impression. Hmmm..
Yesterday was my second interview at IBP. i basically went with no expectations, as i treated it as a bonus. this time round, i’m satisfied with myself, and whether i get the job or not, it was a great learning experience.
Yup so tt’s my progress till now… if i get the job, i would really be able to enjoy myself after exams. at least for a month i hope, from may to june. and then i shall get down and proper for working life. wish me luck..

SWEETS

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

All shapes and all sizes,
Not one dull in taste nor colour.
Died for it, many incisors,
Yes, it can be a killer.
Only chocolates can be on par,
Ubiquitous as caramel bars.
Allow me to indulge
Red, orange, yellow no doubt.
Each holding it’s own,
Minus all the clones,
Yes i love these Candy Jones~

闭上眼睛

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

你的一句睁开眼睛
让我整夜思索不眠
世界是,那么洁清
现在却,充满暗陷

我还是我
把梦想留着
把朋友留着
把身边的一切
保留着
就让我活在完美世界里

就剩这一点时间了
请别把它如此破碎
放开这一些执著了
闭上眼睛美丽之最

我还是我
把梦想留着
把朋友留着
把身边的一切
保留着
就让我活在完美世界里

就让我,沉浸在完美世界里
我还是我

LAST

I walk a path not alone, but
With someone already
In my mind,
Listening to my heart,
Listening to my footsteps.
Missing not a single minute,
A single second.
Kiss the sunset
Every evening.
Till darkness descends,
Hear the night together.
If not you,
Shall not be anyone else.

《巴士总站生存道》第七式:牛白迫 (Newpaper)
此上层心法看似简单,但隐藏着许多杀招。若能精通此心法,练者可施行隐身术,变身术,火炎术等。变化之多,只限于练者的创造力,可说是无尽无穷。

Lyrics, the soul of a song

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

some may beg to differ, but i kinda agree to this statement. In the modern world, voices can be synthesized, melodies can be technologically enhanced, but lyrics must still be the brilliance of human mind. i am one that goes for lyrics, though i cant deny some catchy tunes will always stay in mind even with crappy lyrics.

i think lyrics are like poems. Indeed, i think poems are just lyrics without a melody to be sung with. a song with good lyrics would be ‘Love Me’ by Collin Raye. It could have been sung a thousand different ways, yet the simple touching story of grandparents’ love would not change. ‘Another Day in Paradise’ would be another one i love because of its lyrics. the music is nothing impressive, but the story it tells through the lyrics, goes straight to the heart.

Of course, this post is inspired by the movie ‘Music and Lyrics’ starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Don’t write it off as a romantic chick flick, because the humour inside is worth the price alone. However, one must be attuned to the British way of humour to really enjoy the movie. and after catching the show, ‘Don’t write it off’ will take on a totally different meaning. ;) overall a 4 popcorns out of 5 for humour and feel good quotient.

Before this, i caught 300, which is like the most entertaining movie in 2007 till now. not the best, but the most entertaining in terms of visual effect, and the no frills plot. Simple and straight to the point, doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. go catch it, i give it 6 popcorns out of 5 for entertainment value!

P.S: movies are best watched with one fly.

笑看人生

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

人生本来是HAPPY,
从小却被逼STUDY.
那是为了要MONEY,
所以只好去UNI.
这是我们的COUNTRY,
讲的是MERITOCRACY.
为钱不需FAMILY,
有朋友不如有GUCCI.
看破一切MONASTRY,
等着你去吃VEGGIE.
到头来是否HAPPY,
应该只有那姓LEE.

SoM, FisH&cO, and an injured sternum

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

had a test, Science of Music. hopefully i can score as well as all the other people given that i spent only about a day on it. was quite easy i must say.

went to FiSh&cO at IMM for the first time, and as usual, seafood platter for 2 is just so satisfying! plus a hot fudge chocolate cake to top it off, it was heavenly to the stomach~ silly gf still say can have another platter for 2 no problem… that gal… loose screws in her head. =P

tmr is human physio test, and i haven done like 1/4 of everything. oh well, it’s just a test. hahaha~

sternum + ribcage were injured today due to errant elbows flying around. The public is advised to report any such sightings to the Department of Stray Elbows (DoSE). Do Not attempt to catch them due to their highly dangerous strike to the mid chest areas.

P.S: i love dinner with gf

Yes, it happened,
On not just any day.
Unsure of the why,
As well as the how,
Really, pray tell if anyone can
Explain this, and these.
Maybe is all i have now,
Yet it suffices.
Livin’ like never before,
Of that i’m sure,
Very.
Everyday is special,
Again and again.
Nothing can stop this
Deliverance to me…
