Job Hunting

Time: 3:39pm
Mood: Blah
Song of the Moment: Savage Garden - Affirmation (my "feel good" song)

After taking a week off to recovery for the vicious case of jet lag that I had (geez.. the first time I get jet lag and it has to be this extreme). It seriously took me a week to get over it. Now I'm back to my regular routine of sleeping at ungodly hours and waking up just in time for lunch.

I've been keeping to myself since I got back.. I havn't really made the initiative socialize and go out to see my friends. I'm still going through some rough times. I have good days and bad days. Today I guess is a good day even though I'm bored out of my mind. I've finally realized today that there is no way in HELL I can ever be a housewife (take note of that Jimmy!).

My job search.. has been interesting. I started my quest to get myself empolyed last Monday. I'm happy to say I've already had one interview :D I applied to this job early Wednesday morning, they called me late Wednesday morning telling me that I was under qualified for the job I applied for, however they had another position opened that I might be interested in. We scheduled the interview for Thursday (the next day). Right when I got off the phone w/ the HR lady I realized something: I had nothing to wear :S So what did I do? I quickly went to the mall and found myself a nice suit ($400! Oh I hope I find a job soon b/c I donno how I'm gonna pay it off!!). I think the interview went well.. they asked me for my references the day after my interview. Is that good? Geez I have no clue.. that was my first job interview in over 2 years! And I've never really applied for a full-time position before. Haha I guess you can call me a full-time job virgin :P

I had my convocation last Friday. I finally got that piece of paper I have been working for over the past 2 years. What a sigh of relief! The ceremony wasn't too bad.. not as long as my Waterloo one :S But then again there weren't as many graduates!

My mom left today for HK along with my uncle. They were planning to go next week but my Aunt Fanny said that my grandmother isn't doing well and that they should try to hurry back. *sigh* I'm having a hard time grasping the fact that it was only a little more than 2 weeks ago that I saw my grandmother.. how could she have gotten this much worse so fast? It's like she gave up. I had a really bad day the other day when my mom told me that my grandmother was back in the hospital and her health is declining rapidly. :( this.... truely.... sucks.... :(

Hey...Jenn told me to check your blog out about your Pau Pau. I'm so sorry to hear that. If you need anything, even just to talk, I'm here for you ;_;

I'm so proud of you, congratulations on completing your Master's ^_^ So are you a M.Eng??? Yikes, $400 for a suit!! I have a few for work, but I bought them dirt cheap at Reitmans. Granted, I'm sure yours is far nicer ^^;; Unfortunately since I have to dress prof business everyday, I've got to own multiple suits.

Well take of yourself girlie. Send your Mom my love. Again, the offer still stands. I'm here for you, if you need me.
