of feeling good and not so good...

not really a holiday, but a weekend in KL... yes!!! this... COMING... WEEKEND!!!! muahahahaha.... can't wait!!
there's this thing at work, where we (there's 4 of us in a cubicle) noticed that there's this particular lady who will walk pass us many many times.. to go where.. i dunno la... so, for our own entertainment (pathetic uh?) we decided to count the number of times this lady pass us... we started yesterday... and we counted and it came up to 6 times! 1 for when she came to work, 1 for lunch.. and the remainder 4 times? i wouldn't know... toilet ka, go see friend ka... whatever, i dunno... and not to say she's a manager or something where u got to go around meeting ppl, she's just like one of us.. answering calls... which doesn't need u to go walking around the office... hmmm.... (the wonders of a routine job)
so my cousin got a new job.. starting next week.... AND she lost 5 kgs.... isn't that good news or what! am so happy for her!!! wooohoooo *clap clap clap*
talking bout new jobs... well... it's obvious that i can't stay in this current job, like forever... i AM looking for other jobs, have been on phone-interviews but no one has been calling me back... it's either they are not hiring OR i'm not shortlisted... hmmm.. someone was telling me that it's ok to call them back to find out bout the status of my application.... hmmm.. got to try calling them back...
AND... talking bout loosing weight... i KNOW i should be DOING SOMETHING bout it... but everytime i come back from work... i'm tired... (again.. the wonders of a routine 10 HOUR job). i guess other reasons are IF i start to do something, i'm gonna do it alone.... unlike some friends at work who goes to the gym, they have their other halfs and good friends to go with... and another reason, i stay on the mainland.. what the hell to do here? other than swimming?... oh HECK... i'm just finding excuses for NOT doing anything....
*i need determination!!!!*
what would u do when u come to a crossroad.... where u need to make a decision to choose one out of two AND the two choices u have is very important to u?
ok.. its like this... just imagine...
1) u have been playing PC games since Form4 or 5..... u are passionate about it, u have joined tournaments AND stayed up during the weekends just to play... and for u 10 hrs for RM6 is CHEAP for u......
and...
2) u met your gf after Form6 (which means after 3 years of gaming) got to know her well and have been with her for nearly 5 years, will do practically anything for her.....
so the questions is, what would u choose... *note: both events are on the SAME weekend
a) attend the WCG Finals in Singapore? (this World Cyber Games tournament is on PC games and it brings together players from all over the globe and your idols will be playing... AND this year's finals will be in SINGAPORE where it's usually in Denmark or Korea or US or other countries.. AND u've been waiting all your gaming life to WATCH the professionals play! at THE FINALS!!!)
b) attend your gf's degree graduation.....
both are once-in-a-life-time events.....so tell me... what will YOU do?

This is obviously a woman's thinking but it would "b". Also depending on how very serious is the relationship and how much the gf minds.

Although I can understand how tempting option "a" is though! That's why if the gf does mind and he doesn't choose "b", he will probably have to bear the fact that issue will always be brought up or worst come to worst, there might not be a relationship.

As for ringing about the interviews, it's not common practise here, although you could. Over here there is a closing date for all applications and they would mention when the interview is, etc. If you don't hear anything, it normally means you didn't get an interview.

If you managed to get an interview, you suppose to ask when you would know the outcome (either way). If they haven't contacted you within 2 weeks of the date mentioned, you could give them a call but it is save to assume you didn't get it. You could always ring to find out, just saying you would like feedback. They could tell you where you went wrong/not chosen compared to others.

ahhaha..... yea u just read my mind bout the "effects" of choosing a) or b)

and bout the interview... i did have the phone-interview... just that i haven't heard from them... that's why i was wondering if it's "ok" to call back to find out bout my status... i spoke to 2 persons and they encouraged me to call... to show my interest in the job....

i guess its no harm in calling... at least once....
