Lan Cable

看到了墙上的这一条一条的 Lan Cable 简直没有力，火大！！！难看死了！！！！

我就知道他们(同屋的)会乱乱来。。。。。难道就不能用心一点吗？？花一点时间钉好看一点不会死吧？？？？

服了他们，怎样钉出来的。。

乱七八遭

家里有人了

从搬家到现在，一直都是我一个人守着 Clementi 的这个家。同屋的，回家的回家，度假的度假，只剩下我一个人还在新加坡，在找工作。

一个人守着一个家，对我来说已经不陌生了，在斗湖的时候已经很拿手了。那时候是守着Hot Spring 的家；扫地，拖地，抹窗，煮饭，倒垃圾都不是问题。现在这个家比那间小多了，很容易 maintain, 只是家里没人，真的有点很闷的说，尤其是在找工作的时候，在家的时间特别长，想出去又不好出去，家里实在是太乱了，没办法！只好一个人动手动脚来清理。。

这个家我放了很多心思，买了很多小样小样的东西，放在这里那里，不知不觉花了很多钱。。。看到自己这个月的开销真的被吓一跳了。我很喜欢现在的‘成果’。两个月了，从到处找工作，到找到了工作，已经习惯了一个人在家的感觉，现在同屋的要回来了，反而有点不安，和他们相处得来吗？？？朋友是朋友啦，同屋之后就是两回事了，和他们会有纠纷吗？？？同屋的悲剧听太多了，我们这里会重演吗？？

一个人管一个家，有的是自由，私人空间。一群朋友管一个家，有的是热闹，群体合作。各有各的好啦。。。。

PS: Feeling much like Joseph looking out Pharaoh's house when he was away. Being faithful in small little things, and in return much will be given back for us.

毕业后所关心的事情

毕业后所关心的事情，讲真的就是找工；不想，也没有心情在未来还没有被确定的情况下到处去玩爽，花钱。就算 Taman Negara 的 Trip 也只不过是在 extreme low budget 草草了事的情况下就完成了。

好了，现在工作找到了，开始忙了，才发觉自己原来都没有休息到。紧张和不安的心情一直都没有平复下来。是累了吗？？想想是吧！！

累是累了！！！但是安心了！！未来有保障了 ^^; 也不是没有收获的哦！？？！！！

Another stories

Some side stories about my job seeking experience, here is how the stories goes:

When I am signing the employment contract with JVC, and the HR personal Ms Ching is going through my documents (passport, student pass, academic result, transcript) suddently she asked me:

"Why you state that you will get 3rd class honor ah?? but i thought you should get 2nd lower? "

"Ahhh...... because I can only get a 2nd lower provided my Final Year Project will get an A" in heart thinking, 'what a silly question, I can't possibly get the result anyway'

"But i think you can get an A for your FYP leh, you done a great job. When you get your final result, remember to approach me again, there will be an adjustmet in your starting salary if you manage to get higher grade."

'''oooo........ OK!!'

Such an odd and strange conversation, forget all about it just after the conversation. But the fact is that i really manage to get an A for my FYP, and i manage to jump from 3rd class to 2nd lower; her word just like prophecy, accurate like don't know what........ she trust in me more than i trust in myself, and its feels very good to work with these kind of people....

The most important fact is that......... i got some extra money to spend because of this ^^; ...... . . . hhahahahaha..

First Job Offer @ JVC

Ya!!! I found a job already... a R & D Engineer (software spect) at JVC Singapore, this is my first and only job offer, so accept it initially coz the company name is good, got good reputation. But later found out the the work is well suited for me, can play with car audio one, which is one of the electrical component I like a lot. The lab got lots and lots of car audio displaysed and we are free to take and test anyone of the unit available, just FUN!!!

The pay???!!! still okay for a first job lar, much much more than what am i expecting initially. But the bad thing is that i have to give 20% CPF even at my first year, so only left with 80% of the money avalable to spend (sad!!).

This job offer has its story to tell also, it is the most difficult interview i been in so far, coz i was interviewed by a panel of 6 people, some more got JAPANESE inside, very very scary atmosphere....... ddin't know who to address, and never know who or what kind of questions they are going to ask...... but God's grace, managed to talk with them normal and confidently, which normally i cannot do when facing a lot of people.

I haven't prepare for this interview at all, not even going through any fundamental reading, because the interview was arranged in the most difficult time for me, just after moving to the new house, where the place is super messy and all the books and notes are still in the box haven't unpacked. As a result haven't been able to answer all the questions they asked the paper they gave just before the interview, after the interview, my thinking was "This time die lar, no chance already", and put my hopes on the next interview.

1 week after the interview, when memories about the interview began to fade, i receive a call from JVC HR personal, offering me a R&D position........ ^^; Yes!!! finally a job offer. R&D may be difficult for me, but really think this job is a good job, as i can learned a lot from it, and this will help a lot in my future career either continue to stay in R&D or choose to do other job, coz i know will know much much more than many other by then. First few year will propably difficult for me, but i believe that i can tackle all odds that come in my way.

Getting my job in my 4th interview, i consider myself very very lucky, 比上不足，必下有餘. I wanna thank God for making things smooth for me, and laying my paths for me. Thank God for answering my prayer, and had shows that He really love me, one of his deciple. My cell group leader is right "You haven't receiving because you haven't ask, if you ask and believe in it, it will be given to you. God loves you and love you always ".
