Go Straight to the Point!

I know that it's not really a desirable job but do you have to spin up a story just to 'sell' your job to people?


Went for a job interview this afternoon. In the beginning when asked about the job, the interviewer side stepped and mentioned the company as working on projects and such. Currently the company is doing some marketing project.

"So you have to carry a clipboard and walk around asking people to do a survey?"

"Yea, something like that."

Gosh. Just say that it's a survey job lah...

Currently listening to:


The breakout hit 'Mercy' contains energy that makes you get your arse off your chair and dance. However, the rest of the album actually contains songs sang with a soulful voice.

Songs that I like: Rockferry, Warwick Avenue, Stepping Stone and Mercy.

CHAMPIONS!!!

King of England and Europe: Manchester United FC

Now we break for some messages from our kind sponsers...

Today I've watched a full match of NBA and noticed one thing about American sports. The frakking amount of commercials are really irritating.

You know that there are timeouts for NBA and they are used most towards the end of the fourth quarter. This will then be the time where the commercials will play. Imagine watching 24 seconds worth of basketball, then commercials, repeat ad nauseum. It totally breaks the momentum of watching the match.

Imagine watching a movie in the cinema where the climax of the movie is shown in parts with commercials in between. It's really irritating...

Maybe that's why I prefer watching football (unAmerican) where there is only like one 15 minutes break in between halves.

'
Speaking of football, the Champions League Final is TONIGHT! Manchester United all the way!

For those who had been to my house (which isn't a lot!) knows that my house is facing a tennis court. I'll rather have a swimming pool, but let's not go there. Anyway, it's just another scorching hot day when my mum mentioned that there are two crazy person playing tennis in the afternoon.

I thought must be a bunch of people looking to get either sunburnt or a heatstroke, then I noticed that it's actually some (hot) girl training her tennis. I got to admit, her strokes are impressive, it's almost like watching tennis on my television (okay, I'm stretching the truth).

Over the week, I will always see her train under the hot sun. It's really commendable as everyone knows that its like soooooo hot these days. Guess if it's me, I'll definitely insist on training during the evenings or at night where it's so much cooler.

Now thats determination.

Occupied with Facebook

I guess the updates aren't coming that often, it's because I'm currently occupied with Facebook. I know that I've hopped onto the bandwagon at a rather late time. Some of you may even be saying "Facebook is soooooooo yesterday".

I think that I pick up technology rather slowly and after playing around with Facebook during those slow moving weekdays, I sort of got it figured out.

And I managed to get in touch with some friends that had disappeared. Guess that's an incentive for me.

By the time this post is up, Jingjing should be having a blast in Germany for her study trip. And hearing her say about going to certain places during her weekends sure makes me want to go for one next year. But then the amount of money sure put me off.

Had OG lunch with Jingjing before her departure to Germany, which consist of the usual bunch. Initially the plan was to have lunch at Ichiban Boshi at Wisma Atria only to discovered that it's closed for renovation.

The funny thing? Joyce and I had walked past it on the day before on two difference occasions while shopping for Jingjing's gift. Two blind mice, two blind mice, see how they run, see how they run...

So we finally ended up lunching at Sushi Tei. On foresight, I shouldn't had ordered the unagi-don which has an overkill of unagis. As much as I like unagis, that is perhaps too much for me =) Lesson: too much of a good thing isn't really that good.

I wonder where Curtiz (yeah, it's written like that) went...



Gosh, he's in America. Everyone's going overseas for the hols, when's going to be mine?

Damn sian...

30 over channels on cable yet there isn't one programme on that can keep me entertained.

Saw this on talkingcock.com, made me lol'd:





Shout out to Kian Huat - be strong.

Random Thoughts

You know sometimes people say that they look for a certain qualities in their ideal partners, like domesticated, have same hobbies, doesn't have bad habits that they cannot tolerate or a personality that suits them.

Honestly, when people starts talking about these qualities, I feel that they are thinking that those are 'good to have' rather than 'must have'.

Let's take a look at the following situation:

Mr A looks for girls that is gentle, has long hair, sporty and have a bubbly personality. But what happens if that the girl fits the above qualities but
look like this? I doubt that Mr A will be attracted to her in the first place.

I can continue to give examples of Mr B and Mr C, but I doubt that anyone will like to have their dinners puked onto their keyboards.

Personally, I think that it is 'lust at first sight' as humans are after all animals too. Looks always come first, the rest will then come later. Ever have the following scenario where you have your eyes transfixed on a certain person (other than the lecturer, you muggers!) and somehow or another they will suddenly fit into your ideal partner qualities checklist?

For those that are curious, I'm not writing this down because I got rejected or something. I'm actually giving some insight into how I think and why sometimes act in a certain manner.

Some links that I find interesting while rotting at home for the past few days:

5 Psychological Experiments That Prove Humanity is Doomed

"Psychologists know you have to be careful when you go poking around the human mind because you're never sure what you'll find there. A number of psychological experiments over the years have yielded terrifying conclusions about the subjects.

Oh, we're not talking about the occasional psychopath who turns up. No, we're talking about you. The experiments speak for themselves: "

Keyboards 'dirtier than a toilet'

"Some computer keyboards harbour more harmful bacteria than a toilet seat, research has suggested."

So what I've been up to these days. I'm actually stuck on my arse playing computer games that I'm so deprived of during the school sem (yeah, I'm such a nerd). I'm currently stuck onto this game that I had chanced upon when I like secondary 1 and once more during my army days - X-COM: UFO Defense. Graphically speaking, this game isn't are shiny when realistic ragdoll physics that is normal for games these days. Nope, this game is F-U-N if you look through the rather aged graphics.

Must see movie for the month? Definitely IRON MAN!

This movie exceeded my expectations. The character development is good, Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark, it's like the role is made for him and he wasn't really acting. And the script is written in a way that it doesn't alienate those that don't read comic books and at the same time don't ignore those who reads them.

Do remember to stay on after the credits, those who reads the Ultimate line of marvel books will surely be grinning like a Cheshire Cat. =D Samuel L. Jackson appears as Nick Fury =D
