last night, i received a message on LinkedIn and i was surprise/excited and at the same time i realize that the structure of the career world has changed. dramatically.
i've tried applying for a position in this company 2 months back. and i've failed. but i never never expected to land an interview just like that. this is awesome! Friday is the interview!
wish me luck! i will keep you all posted!

Chapter 23-01: is it because
today spoken to huiting (my first gf) for quite long on msn for the first time after a while since everyone was busy. catch up a little and get to know how each other is doing. it feels great to know that she is doing well and her baby is healthy. also, she will be resuming her studies after july. i still remember what we went through to get her a spot in SIM now. really hope that she will be able to finish her studies and have a great future.
"it's been 2.5 years already," she said.
this line let me realized how fast time flies. i am gonna be a graduate after next monday's exam. (i pray that i will not fail. have not failed anything yet...)
the other thing that just came across my mind is the other day Tang Lei mentioned that he saw one of my other blog on blogspot (i got a few blogs, or used to). i was quite curious which one it was. but after asking a few questions, yea, it was me and huiting's blog. just curious how much we've changed, i went to revisit the site.
we've grown to become a different person all in all. most of it positive i guess since we are all mature than before and more considerate. i also noticed some of my weaknesses in relationship, mostly thanks to the impatient devil that is inside me.
well. sometime is better to learn the hard way than not learning at all i guess.

Chapter 22-Final: few moments of 22
wah. just finish doing some research and work applying for jobs again. almost miss out on the final few minutes of my 22 year old.
looking back, chapter 22 of my life is filled with travels and lessons along these journeys. spent 4.5 months in Sweden and 3 months in China and the rest of it in Singapore. it's a year that many people and envious of. i am happy that i have this chance and this privilege to do so.
but i guess the fairy tale needs to come to an end soon as i foresee that chapter 23 of my life is gonna be challenging and full of dilemmas, decisions and also anxieties. need to look for job, find a house and also a lot more. this two are my biggest concerns apart from my finals tomorrow and also next monday.
well. i guess i should also enjoy it while it last. 22 is sweet. who says only have sweet 21? made heaps of friends. and have heaps of memories together.
any regrets some might ask...
i can say no! i've made my decisions and follow these decisions that i've made carefully. let's live up to this and make the best out of life! we live once ONLY!!!!
to conclude this chapter, i would like to say a special thanks to mum and dad. and of course my little bro, glad to see that you've found your direction and slowly moving towards it! all the best!
love,
Fern Yit

Kids are still kids...
Just yesterday, shi hui, sin yi and me conducted a focus group for our client, a snack company. And this time the group is from primary school.
Was very fun to listen to their answers and feedbacks regarding the products. And to see excitement in they eyes when they were given the permission to open the snacks and eat.
After the focus group, we were suppose to give them the stipents. We asked them, 'so who keep the moeny? You or your parents?'
One kid gave a very classical answer.
'i keep all, except need to give my mummy 1 dollar'
Our heads were filled with question marks.
'i need to pay for the ERP we went through to get here today...'
We burst into laughter coz we were not expecting this answer.
Kids are still kids. They think simple and they are happy. Why can't adults do so too? Why do we become more complicated and more difficult to satisfy when we get older?
Cheers,

Chapter 22-23: it came true?
phew... just got back from work with LBU... every night is the same thing. guess it is good in a way that it helps me to save up money by tying my time down so i have no chance at all to go drink and have nice dinner with friends.
i thought today will be a slack day for me after teaching at bukit batok. i came back and have a 3 hour nap and started to prepare for tomorrow's focus group for the UOBSA thing i'm taking part in now. busy with coordinating and searching for participants that took away my whole afternoon.
after that went for lunch/dinner with tang lei at 5.30pm (i know, me and my weird timings...). then continue with the UOBSA thing till like 9pm and went off to work at LBU. my day is really packed.
it really came true. what my mum saw on the chinese new year eve program. they mentioned that April is the busiest month for me. and they are not kidding at all.
how i wish i can go home on the weekend and celebrate my birthday with my parents with a nice meal at some fancy place that i've not visited long time since i got back. taking some gasp of air so that i won't suffocate with the finals preparation, the part time jobs and pressure from finding a job.
i mean i am not whining. well. maybe a little, but i choose to be this busy. so ya. i just wish that the other half of the prediction the program had. the one which i will have luck in my career and will be a good year for me...
i dare not think about tomorrow's schedule as it looks so packed and hectic. the day will start at 11am and ends at 12am at least i guess...
wish me luck! i can do this!
