Haha its been a long time since i wrote here. Been iddling around, will not entirely. Been thinking alot lately, I am a thinker, a persons who think things. Thats a job isnt it?

Life is like a pack of cards, the cards you get don't come in straights. You never know when the card you are holding is Ace or number 6 or 2. When you do know, you will not know what cards come after next. You also don't know what if the card you are getting may be the biggest, so fearing you might lose out to others, you decide to take another draw.

Earlier on looking for jobs, I was pretty lucky and I kept drawing 10s, Jacks or Queens. But I somehow got greedy or felt I could get better cards. At last I did drew the King and I banked on my hopes on it but lost the bet coz the other party held an Ace. From then on, my luck just aint there and I kept drawing 2s and 3s, worse of all, sometime i drew "skip a turn" and daes goes by without me able to draw a card.

Life is full of ups and downs. I also learn to take any opportunity that comes along, and as long its good enough, take it. Every number has its use, every number has its dae. For sometimes, the no. 2 can become the most powerful card in other games. HAha.

Its been a long long time since I read my friends blog and I found real nice entries in them. People have been debating the new phenomenon of blogging, about invading privacy and such but I believe its really a nice thing. I am glad many of my friends do blog and allow me to know of their recent happenings.

Yes, I somehow found my strength to move on once again and I guess despite failures, one can alway seize the opportunity to learn from it. Not neccessary means you made a mistake, thats why you fail. Its more like learning to accept failure and reality helps a person to really move on. And i really appreciate those around me, always pulling me along, giving me encouragment. With new found energy, the search continues...

At this moment, I cant seem to get to sleep. I din do well in my interview todae, and there is no need for consoling for I knew how well I fared. But I still appreciate a lot to those who spoke kind words, compared to my father who, well never mind.

The important thing I did learn was I dunoe how to sell. Selling is not as simple as able to talk well, and illustrating all the benefits of the products that we have been thought so far. I can talk, but I can't sell. It is finding out what are the customer's needs, the customer's soft spots and from there find a way to attack these soft spots, in an attempt to convince and persuade them to be your sales targets. Rather than ramble about the shopping discounts they will get, maybe I should have asked if they like shopping in the first place. Whatever the excuse was, I din perform todae. What happened todae really gave me a chance to rethink about what I really want and what I can do. Yes.. I have thought bout this countless times, its not that I am indecisive, I am starting to lose my direction. I tried my best to convince myself, only to have someone tell me I am not suitable to be what I convince myself to be. Something which I thought I could do all along, I can't do it at all. Even if I am willing to learn, will any organiztion give you the chance to learn and pay you at the same time? I alway knew selling wasn't easy, but I really want to master that skill. But pragmatism sank in, they dun give you the chance to learn in this fast pace corporate world. I really wish to have the chance to learn how to sell.

Anyway I am really glad that somehow people I dun know are reading my blog. Mr sniff, thank you for posting a comment. I am really happy that I exist in one more person's world.

Its been sometime since I added a post here. Life have been pretty boring, and I wish I can find a job and start work real soon. Din expect slacking around at home can be so boring. I guess 3 months down the road I will be complaining how a busy life I will be leading. I can never be satisfied, just like all other humans are I guess.

Glad Angeline organized a gathering for the BnF people to meet up and it was really nice to see everyone again. Its been really long since I met my RSPHI friends and kinda miss those times together.they seem to be more busy and its really hard to meet up with all of them. I must admit I am a bit lazy to initate a gathering nowadaes, for I used to be so actively doing it last time. Guess coordinating with so many people is no easy task even in this boring life of mine. Hahah plain lazy, no excuse at all.

Going to my next round of interview later. Wish myself luck here. Hope I will be happy enough to announce I got the job in a few weeks time. HAahha I really hope....
