dilemma
the agent called me on fri n told me in a v slow manner "i got some feedback from the co...". the logical thing would b to think that i got rejected rite? but she said the co offered me the job. ?!?! duno she trying to create some suspense or wat. pengz. aniway she oso duno how much they offering me yet, just told me not to reject it or accept it too readily n discuss with her first. but she said the max salary for tat position is oni $200 more than my current salary. -_____-. get $200 more to suffer, must travel to customer site, must work in noisy environment, must work long hours (n tats not including ot). SIAN. the oni concern abt asking for more pay is tat i dun have the relevant exp, hopefully im not being unrealistic..
think they will b calling me on mon. i think chances tat they offer me a high pay is quite low. n i dun think the agent will help me to push up the salary. in the first meeting she oredi submit my resume using my lowest expected salary n even pushed me into applying for the job even though i told her i dun want a contract job. her reason was this is a contract-to-perm job. it's not like i cant get a perm job now... y must i accept a contract position?
haiz. den my pc died yest. at first still can boot up but need to restart a few times. yest after changing the ram den it cant even boot up. -_________-. i tout its just a simple switch so i din backup some files. luckily most of my files r in another drive.. except for 1 or 2 files on my desktop. sian oredi. need to ask my father to bring down the motherboard for repair, den duno must wait for how long. in the meantime need to bring home my work laptop everyday. at least the gd thing is i still got a laptop to fall back on.. duno if change job got laptop or not. -.-

should i or should i not?
went for the 2nd interview today. the hr told me there will b 2 interviewers, one is a director n the other one is proj manager or something. i almost freaked out, but luckily it was quite ok. they looked quite friendly. the onsite support can claim for cab fare so its not so bad. as for the rest.. they say its mostly 2-3 wks, not for long period of time. actually 2-3 wks is considered a bit long to me oso.. haiz
now dilemma. a bit interested in the proj, but the other aspects a bit sian. duno wat to do if they offer me the job. probably see wats the pay like first. haiz. think v hard to find a co with v gd working environment n gd benefits like my current one. too bad bonus too little n prospects too bleak. otherwise most likely work there forever. haha.

interviews again
last fri i went for one interview, then this mon i went for another one. the fri one told me they will let me noe the results after 1-2 days (they say v fast one). the mon one told me they will let me noe after 1-2 wks. den today i received a call from the mon one asking me to go for 2nd interview tmr. now the 1-2 wks one become 1-2 days, n the 1-2 days one become 1-2 wks? lol. mayb it oso means i failed the interview tats y no reply
quite surprised the mon one asked me to go for 2nd round, cos i tout my interview wasnt v gd. din realli ans the technical questions v well, n somemore when he said there will b onsite support at customer's site i said i wasnt v keen. cos their customers site all so far away from my place, n it's not work there for 1-2 wks, its for a few yrs. pengz. not sure if shortlisting me for the 2nd round means i dun need to work onsite support..
initially i wasnt v keen in the co oso cos oni heard bad comments abt it n somemore it's the same co as my bf (again, haha). but after going for 4 interviews n being told twice tat my skills r v specialised, i think it's getting quite difficult to find jobs. esp when almost all the co i went r small ones, except for the mon one. everytime the agents say they help me fwd resumes to the mncs den end up no reply. T.T. this one need to use java n c++ which r quite "hot" these days, so hopefully the interview go well tmr. hopefully not much ot n pay ok oso. hehe. think too far ahead oredi

updates
long time no update.. feeling v sian as usual, haha. still not used to the new proj, find it v stupid, or rather im the one whos stupid. everything oso duno, ask ppl how to do A, they will say oh u do B. but how to do B? ask too detailed look v stupid, but dun ask oso duno how. n unlike the prev proj, this new proj looks so abstract. dun even noe wat the hell im changing the code for. n now machiam demote to junior, even those who join later than me oso noe more than me. argh.....
last wk we went to take wedding photos. lol.. quite a "fun" experience. first time c a v different me, haha. the makeup artist say my face v easy to makeup, hehe. but face v oily, everytime change costume must pile on powder. think the powder almost 7 layers thick. no wonder black heads cannot c.. haha. n the hairspray spray like free. at the end of the day even wear helmet liao still got the shape there. the bridal shop owner realli not bluffing. he say no need to worry abt wind blowing the hair out of shape cos they will spray the hairspray until u throw a rock at the hair the hair will still b intact. lol
but it can b quite stressed when the photographer keep saying my smile v fake v painful n my eyes keep blinking blahblahblah. -___-. ask me to pose naturally, n den ask me to lower head, chin out, chest up, butt out. head lower liao eyes still must look up at the camera, like tat how to smile radiantly. walao. somemore sometimes ask me smile a bit, sometimes smile big big. i smile a bit den he say i nvr smile. den he ask me smile a bit n later say y i nvr smile big big. pengz. i wonder how come some ppl can smile so happily when taking photos. like bo tai bo ji can smile so happy. i think unless got some ppl make funny faces or tickle me den i will laugh. otherwise feel so baichi smiling for nothing. -__-. anyway hopefully the photos turn out nice. if not den realli sian liao. to look on the bright side, at least we dun have to worry abt topping up too many photos. n at least we can still count on those back view shots n eye closed photos. haha
