Blogger?

Honestly, I feel very curious about blogger's life. I mean, they are some one who still studying or working, how can they manage all their stuff?

Currently, I started to follow some famous bloggers, such as Jane, Ashley, XiaXue and Sophia.

Seriously, they all are very pretty and rich! OMG. Of course, they are writing on the topics that everyone is interested on it. So, they have very high readership and here comes to advertising. *They are smart* They can earn money by just introducing and posting an article on their blogs. Of course, their writing skill must be very good. At least, it's better than mine. :(

Through reading their blogs, I feel that my life is not as perfect as them. Why? Because they are keep posting on food, clothes, products, trips etc. And all the stuff are very expensive but they can pay for that. It means, they are from rich family.

After read their blogs, I was like, "Damn! I also want their life!" But, this thought just appeared in my mind for 5 minutes.

Everyone is having different life and you no need to envy them. *Of course I envy!* If in that case, then work hard and get a good pay job! *Or find a rich BF* So you can have more money to spend and also improve your living standards.

Nowadays, social / new media is becoming part of our life. We check Facebook everyday, we tweet while facing annoying situations, we upload our food to Instagram, we check in to Foursquare etc. But for what? I dunno. *I'm doing the same thing though* Is it a trend? YES! It is! Everyone is posting what are they doing at that moment to these social media and then waiting for the LIKES. And also because of these posts and photos, some of the people *maybe for those who are facing financial problem* will feel envy and depress to their own life. If more serious, they will suicide as they are not satisfy with their life.

Our society is sick. *Direct translate from Mandarin* And I feel pity to them.

I always tell myself that I'm having a better life if compare to those Africans or Indians (from rural area). Because they are facing lots of problem, such as health, financial and food. I should appreciate what I have and enjoy it. YOLO! *the new word learnt from Jeannie* Don't complaint or blame too much. Just enjoy at that moment and you will find out that the world is waiting for you to explore it. Such a pretty planet that we are living in.

So, YOLO!!

YES!!!

I got a job! *not officially*

This Monday I went to an interview at DIY Supply Printing *behind Klang Parade* and I was applying for graphic designer. One of the founders, Vincent Tong interviewed me and we were talking in Chinese. *PHEWWW* Before that, I was very nervous and thought that English will be used for the interview.

After I introduced myself, he asked me few questions and went through my portfolio. I showed him what I've done for Advertising assignments and also my drawings. Then he said that I'm not qualify to be a graphic designer since I don't have knowledge on Adobe Illustrator, Flash and video editing.

BUT...

He offered me another position which is photo booth sales coordinator cum email marketing executive. Hhhmmm, sounds very pro right? LOL! He said that I'm a quite active and out going person and graphic designer is not suit me. Since I have lots of experiences on event and I know photography, then he offered me the right position. Such a good boss, right?

And then, yesterday, he sms-ed me and asked me to sign the appointment letter!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally! I got a job!

However, I hold this position first as I have another interview on next Tuesday and I'm gonna to try that too. Just take it as an experience.

Anyway, CONGRATULATION to myself!

Now, I'm at Kampar and tomorrow is my convocation. I'm the first university graduate in my family! So proud of myself! I'm gonna to meet all my friends and have fun on these few days!

End story and good luck to myself.

And then?

Stay at home for half month. I feel like want to cry already.

Went to 2nd interview at Jaya One yesterday. The company is Asia Assistance Network and they provide medical assistance. They viewed my resume in Jobstreet.com and asked me to send them my resume last week.

On Monday, I was starting to feel the stress and nervous. I was keep practicing and practicing to speak in English and tried to be more confident as I can. I called Liz and asked for the interview tips. I also did some researches on it. Before gone to bed, I prayed very hard to God and hope that the interview can be worked smoothly.

The next day, I woke up early and started to prepare myself. I reached there at 11am but the the interview was at 11.30am. I always reach earlier because I think that be punctual is very important. I went up to the office at 11.20am and filling up the form at the reception desk. I was sweating because I was really nervous, but I told myself: "Everything is gonna be fine. All is well."

After finished fill up the form, Ms Valerie Chong, the interviewer came to meet me and we went into the
meeting room. And then, the interview was started.

Questions:
1. Please tell me about yourself.
2. Please tell me about your past working experience.
3. Please tell me about your weaknesses.
4. Please tell me about your strengths.

After gone through all the questions, I found out that my strengths are not applicable for this industry. Maybe I should go to advertising firm so that I can utilize my talents. She was keep asking about my strengths but I stopped and started to think about it. She wanted me to tell her more about my skills but not attitudes. But I told her, "I'm hardworking." Ok. It's good that mentioned about my attitudes but she seemed like not satisfied with my answer and then she stopped asking question.

The interview just took 30 minutes. It's good or bad? I don't know. I feel like it's more to bad.

Anyway, I'm waiting for their call now if I become the shortlisted candidate. And then, need to go for 2nd interview. GOSH!!!

So... that's all. Wish me good luck.
