Unsuccessful

Attempts to change job were unfruitful. I realized that even though there are many job openings available, you may still be carefully selected before being offered the job. Well, it may be fated that I have to stick to my current job for the time being. I just need to find a new kind of joy in my job.

3 more days and I'll be in Korea! I'm flying from KL and I'll be taking my first flight all by myself on Monday. This is so exciting!! I've been planning the whole 14 days itinerary since last December and everything is going to come true in just a few days time!

I've gotten all my winter clothings and may buy a pair of leg warmers. I hope I'll see snow and won't be frozen there! Will update my blog during my time there! Stay tuned!

Disappointing

Following the failure of my application to go over Hong Kong to work, today I received another result of an interview I went last Thursday: "We would like to thank you for attending the interview for the above mentioned position.

We have considered your application carefully but regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you the above position."

Such lousy luck towards job change. Demoralizing.

Grade 8 Results

After one and half years of preparations, the results finally came out this morning. It was really disappointing as I was aiming for distinction. Or rather, at least a merit would suffice.

Candidate	ID	Subject	Grade	Mark	Cat
NG SZE CHIEN	S8xxxxxxx	VIOLIN	08	110	P

Marking Scheme
Mark	Category
130-150	D = Distinction
120-129	M = Merit
100-119	P = Pass
0-99	F = Fail

This would really make me think twice about going for my diploma exam. Super low morale.

Violin Exam

3 more days to my violin exam. I have taken more than one and a half years to prepare. My expectations are high, but I realized this has given me alot of unnecessary pressure. Just hope for the best. :)

Life has to move on

Another close colleague has moved on... We went through so much together for the past 5 years. It was a shocking news when he told me he is tendering the letter. I didn't expect it to be so fast. I'll definitely miss him around, dropping by my seat for chats, having tea breaks together, attending courses, brainstorming for ideas, phone calls to update on work matters and most importantly, I'll lose someone whom I can talk heart-to-heart to.

Days in my job pass by so quickly that there is actually no real quality time to cherish and spend with colleagues. Until the day they are leaving, you will start to think back how much you know the person and how much you have done to know you really treasure such a colleague as a friend.

What are the chances of finding a true friend amongst your colleagues? Rare, but I can say I have found at least two.

All the best, my life coach.

A Turning Point?

I've finally submitted my CV to HK and Taiwan. I've mentioned before in my earlier post that I wanted to go for an overseas job stint. So here comes the chance... and I'm grabbing it. If I don't go now, then when?

Some friends tell me it's not going to help me get hitched. Oh well, that's not the main point. I just feel that my current job is getting boring and I'm beginning to feel very impatient with people. I think a change will do me some good.

Hope I hear good news soon. :)

SE Journey 2011

Our concert is nearing again! I'm always so excited!!! I really love to play together! Here's the poster!

2011 Resolution

It may be a little too late to write this now. But this is to pen down just in case I've forgotten and to keep myself in check.

1. Save more money. At least $1k per month.
2. Obtain a distinction in Grade 8 Violin practical.
3. Organise and go for a 10 to 15 day trip to Korea with cousins.
4. Save at least $5k for a Europe trip and go in 2012.
5.

Will fill in if I have new ones... =)
