人生的转折点 , 何回だったけ~

Before leaving for Uzbekistan... I feel like writing this blog.
As my birthday will be in Uzbekistan...
Which I really hope that I can be in Singapore.

Next week, I will be working whole week and immediately depart for Uzbekistan.
I guess this will be the last blog for this month till I come back.

人生なんて短い。。。
面接の時、やっとわかった! 
ちゃんと計算したら、もうすぐ30才になる。

When I was asked how long will I be planning to stay in their company...
I mentioned for 3yrs, which I will be 28, by then if I don't quit, I will stay for life.As human beings tend to slow down learning at the age of 30yrs onwards.

今まで生きて来て、もうすぐ25歳になる私、何をやってきたかな?

0-6yrs:
I used to stay in Kampong, where I learnt how to catch spiders, dragonflies, butterflies, houseflies, steal eggs from hens, etc. Learnt how to pass motion at the drain, which I was so scared that I will drop down anytime. Also learnt how to play mahjong.

6-9yrs:
I stay with my grandparents since baby as my mum is so busy earning money..
At this age, life is really terrible, no love no fun!
I start to steal alot of things from anyone anywhere except school compound.
I don't know what I am lack of.. But I only know I have nothing.
Until today, I can still remember My grandma and aunty told me
that my mum wants to sell me off as too poor to have me.
But my grandma stop her and took me home.
At this age, I had nightmare almost daily looking for my mummy.
Always end up awake crying.

10-12yrs:
I start to stay with my mum, life seem to be better but I somehow I feel that she own me too much till today the feeling remains unchanged. I pick up basketball because my brother is in it too.. also he has too many good looking friends. Turning point 1, Primary School school team and I get to know many friends and till today we are quite close too.

13-16yrs:
The most rebellious period, I only know 1 thing and it is basketball. Hanging out with so many guys but instead of getting worse, I am getting better becos they always tell me as a girl what you must do and should not do. Basketball let me hold back my temper, irritating attitude and more patience. Sec 3, Turning point 2, Haiz.. I joined the Food and Nutrition Class which the teacher is discipline mistress. Its so hard to skip her 2.5hrs weekly class. F&N is full of time managment that allow me to perform well in work today. Turning point 3, I start to watch Japanese Dramas and started with Itazura no Kiss by Takeshi Kashiwabara, thanks to Hong Kong girl that made me start learning Japanese.

16-20yrs:
Turning point 4, became the fan of Arashi, its quite waste of money but it keeps my passion for Japanese language on going. Started working for the sake of buying magazines and CDs. Turning point 5, I found a part-time job Tori-Q and was in good terms with the boss and my 1st time travel to Japan to watch Arashi concert. Home-stay for free and they even manage to get Arashi Concert ticket. I met my first boyfriend at this age too but we didn't go further than 3months.. I consider it as puppy love. Also get to know crappy colleagues that I learnt how to talk cock with boss.

21-22yrs:
Turning point 6, I quit my job and went to Japan for 6months contract. Life was quite hard at 1st, but things getting better after 1month, It because I was not quite welcome by others.
At this age, I hit my major dreams, 1st is staying in Japan for 6months and 2nd was going to Sunflower farm... This was really a fruitful year. After back from Japan, my Japanese was quite a rubbish and could not get into any company, so I start working part time in a Korean Japanese speaking company and a Japanese snack store to tidy up my language. Turning point 7, I joined JTB after working part time for 3months.

22-till now:
First year life was really hard, everyday OT till I guess I already have no more friends. I always ended up cancelling the appointments. Then slowly I became the queen in the office, and life was so good. Even my manager loves to entertain my nonsenses that make my life so happening everyday. I travelled to alot of countries other than Japan. Start taking Salsa, Turning point 8 so many things to see to learn and so many people to meet. But good things will never last long. Concept changed and people changed.. I chose to Turning point 9, tender and look further into my life. I manage to found a new job with new environment, which will start next month.

Point 1 : Basketball, keeps me away from being stray.
Point 2 : F&N taught me time management. Life was not easy in the class.
Point 3/4/5 : Became a Japanese crazy and crazier and crazier.
Point 6 : Stepping out of the oily life and get into a higher life quality.
Point 7 : Meeting new friends and learning the Japanese slang.
Point 8 : New colourful life, new friends new happenings.
Point 9 : I don't know what will happen next.

But what I want to do from now on?
Its time to settle down and what kind of target do I have?

- Spanish language
- A stable relationship

That's the current target for this year.

おめでとう言ってくれるかな?

I am so happy!!
Just received the call and they can confirm me!!!
やっとお金が使えるね!

I been so worried for future $$.
Now I can start wasting my money liao!
やった!~!

Short story about my interview yesterday...

You learn Korean language??

Not really.. I learn Korean and Spanish at the same time. But I chose Spanish in the end.

Then how about Korean?

I stopped, at first my Japanese friends told me that Korean is almost the same, so quite easy to learn... They lied to me!!! Korean is so much more difficult than Japanese so I gave up and choose Spanish cos I do Salsa.

Then why do you want to switch job other than you want to gain more experience?

I wanted to quit my job since the 1st day I join the company. I had no intentions to work there but my part-time Japanese boss told me that going to BMC, It is easier for me to go to any other company.. So die die must tahan for 3yrs.

Then if you join my company. how long will you intend to stay?

Min 3 yrs, by then I will be 28yrs, so depends on what I want, if I don't quit your company at 28yrs, which means that I will stay for long cos human beings slow down learning after 30.

Can you tell me your good points?

Yes, I am a fast thinker.

How about your bad points?

English!!

Oh come on, you joking , you are singaporean right??

Yes, if Singlish I can be very proud to say so.

This is the short nice conversation over the interview.

PIC: Do you have experience in Semi-conductor?
Me: No
PIC: Are you good in Excel?
Me: No
PIC: Do you think you suit this job?
Me: Yes!

Can you imagine how early I was there, Interview at 10am,

After reaching the office, walking into the meeting room,
Wah~ Full view of Bugis.

If I can manage to get into this company,
I will definitely show you guys the scenery.

Anyway, I already received the reply, I can go for a
第二面接 with MD next week.



Raining dogs and cats, but luckily I already board the bus 131,
But end up waiting at the of bus-stop for more than 30min.

Can't walk to my destination, so no choice but to take a bus again to
Harbourfront station to switch to Plaza Singapura for Starhub service.

This moment, I learn to slow down my steps and look more feel more.

After 1hour of Starhub service, I walked to Liang court for haircut and manicure.
Then meeting my Mum for dinner so walk again from Liang court to Raffles City.

On the way, saw this Speak Chinese campaign right at fort canning.
Why they don't have Speak Hokkien campaign??

Then after that, went back to office for meeting.
It was finished at 7.30pm and so sad dinner was not included.

And a cool gift from Hokkaido Office!! This is Chocolate slices.

After that, I met a fantastic new friend, who speaks Mandarin and he is a Korean.
Next week we are going for Karaoke so will intro him to you all too.

一歩出した!

Officially tender my resignation on 25MAR,
After 3weeks of thinking, I still choose to let go!!

The 3years working in the environment.
Nothing can be better than this job!!
Laughing with clients and colleagues everyday~
No matter what happen, a laugh can kill all stress!

We argue everyday to know that our difference.
We compromise cos we know that we think differently.
Standing at the same point looking into matters from different view.

Whenever any mistake happen,
we tell each other that as long as client can enjoyed the trip, everything should be alright.
Solving problem better than finding who's fault.
Knowing who's fault is to understand how the fault come.
From there we learn how to avoid.

Leaving this team I feel so pain, but leaving this company I have no regrets!
Last working day is on 15May, I hope I won't drop a single tear.
Or I shall MC from work??

I love this job too much!!!
