Midnight blabber

OMG..!

I have been selected by the Marketing Director of Innocom Technologies to be the Marketing Coordinator. I received two offers from the first two companies I have gone for an interview with.

I had to decline an earlier offer that pays $1500-$1700 due to Innocom's promising job position. I am indeed happy that I listened to my guard feeling not to accept ECS's offer yet without hearing from Innocom. Besides, I am working at the times and am very occupied so I guess it wasn't meant to happen with ECS. I feel bad though for the inconvenience I caused them.

But I am very much elated at both of the offers these two companies have given me. That I was wanted to be a part of them. I declined ECS because the position that was given to me is not exactly what I wanted to do. Yes it has growth opportunity but honestly, I don't really like having to do sales. (And the line I was posted to is not really relevant to the degree I wanted to do. ) I did sales before and I don't really have a good outlook of having to do it.

I am really happy that Innocom gave me this opportunity to be a part of them ( purely marketing and no sales..!)

I can hardly wait really.

I begin on March 1st, just as I have aimed for from a month ago. I truly feel blessed that not only did I get the position I wanted, I can sense new knowledge forthcoming.

So as Monday approaches, I have a lot of things to learn until the coming 2-3 months. I aim to strengthen my knowledge on the company as soon as possible and therefore cover my job scopes well and proper.

And blessedness ain't being given to me alone.
Shenath has been asked to come down for a second (or finalization) interview with an IT co.'s HR personnel. I really hope he can start by April, or better mid March..? Heh.

I'm sure he will be appointed the job..!

For today until Sunday however, Im out of town..! Heading down to tioman for a short getaway. Let's hope my route planning is foolproof.

Malaysians be nice to us people.

So readers, goodbye for now..! Will be back with photos =)

Goodnight.

Murky waters

I don't really know what has happened and how it came to the point of me considering to move out of my comfort abode.

I just feel that this year is not just any other year and my leaving my 21st year is bringing me somewhere that is testing.

Let's see what's to happen. I only great mark for me now is that I've got a job as a Channel Telesales Executive with a relatively good pay. I can't wait for the other interested company to let me know if they want me, because I'm afraid I'd let go of a good opportunity who has marked me.

For now, may God bless me.

Blabber of Midnight

It's 2.30AM.

Deliberately sleeping late as I have plans to avoid the matriach tomorrow morning, so I'm going to sleep in. I'm so tired of having to tolerate her constant passive agressive tactics of getting to my last nerve about jobs and its salary offer.

Sometimes, I hate having to be burdened by a tradition of breadwinners.

I dislike, yes, but I'm still proud of my roots because I'm a pro feminist and personally, I dislike having to seek financial aid from my partner.

I'm not a freak of a feminist. I appreciate feminism as it runs in my blood. But I realize that there is different types of feminist in my bloodline. And I realize I fit nowhere near the matriach's expectation.

Therefore, it seems that this is one conflict I can never hide nor run away from - at least not now. Let's just hope matriarch do not get in between me and my aspiration.

Sometimes, I feel matriarchs are not meant to be mothers. Sigh. Well, there are different mothers around in the world. But forever, daughters are and will always be in debt to their mother.

Sigh.

On a lighter note, Shenath and I have called a truce :)

And over a spring chicken!

YUM YUM!

Dust it off

Having spent the whole day of Wednesday in a duel with Shenath and continuing on to cold war yesterday, I found myself restless and tired.

Partly in the need for love and partly still having the stupid need to hold a grudge.

Then again, I hate being angry with him and I dislike holding grudges.

It's 4.20AM of Friday and I'm still up. I've moved some of my blogs over to wordpress.com in favor of their pages and interface. However, blogger still beats wordpress hands down when it comes to the ease of uploading multimedia items.

Also, you can upload as much as you like with the huge amount of data space picasa offers. Oh well, cant have everything.

So going back to Shenath. Well, in less than 8 hours, it's a truce. Let's hope the truce is mutual.

And let's hope I'm in the same mood I am now for later.

Most probably I will be cos I miss him already.

Let's hope he wakes up nice and well, so when he picks up my call, I'd be more encouraged to give him a treat ;)

Goodnight for now.

Chinese New Year disadvantage

I'm sure I'm not the only one who find CNY period rather inconvenient. What with the ghost towns and dark alleys closed shophouses make due to this holiday closure.

For some, like me, it can cause impatience and frozen actions.

I have gone for two interviews so far and due to Chinese new year I haven't heard much from either one.
I know the interview went well and for the first company I went for, she has informed me that the office will be closed for a week due to Chinese New Year, and therefore I can't pretty much know when they will schedule the signing of appointment letter.

For the second company, they require my manuscript from RP to state that I am eligble for graduation. And due to Chinese New Year, I have to wait for school to respond and then only can I pretty much know that I've secured an appointment letter.

Shenath says I will get both ad land myself in dilemma! (Well better than not landing on anything right?)

I like the first company's job scope and relatively, I think the environment is much better. The second company offers higher pay and better incentives but I don't really find the job scope appealing. It's bearable though.

Sigh.

Jobs jobs jobs. It's all that forms my head sometimes. I can't wait for the 21st though. It's fast approaching and I can smell it! I know I've been saying it over and again, and not elaborating.

Soon I will:)

For now, good day. It's another evening shift for me and Shenath till Thursday.

XOXO

Happy New Year

Despite numerous efforts to persevere and move along without each other, jeanath realizes that they are very much entangled, whether they want it or not.

But of course they wanted it else they would have never gotten back.

I am pleased to inform you that the site will come to life again :)

I am thinking of revamping and inviting the other half to be a co-author. Let's see how he takes it. I don't really think he has enough capacity to want to be a co-author as he isn't really a writing or reading worm. He writes good letters though, that I'm sure. Heh. :)

Well, I'm also thinking of wrapping up all of the archives and push it somewhere else because if I were to propose this to be a couple's blog, then I can't have all my past post that is written solely by me now right. But let's see how it goes.

For now, goodnight.

Goodnight!

My Valentine's Day

Jeanath on VDAY mood? Trust me the shirt color coding is not predetermined. It was pure chance :)





So anyway, earlier at work while I visit my favorite cubicle, I typed a decent length of a post only to have lost it due to blogpress' (iPhone blogger app) inability to autosave entries.

That was also thanks to my now three-year valentine champion, Shenath Thomas Dias who happened to also found the time to idle in the locker room and decided to give me a call just as I was about to end my post and publish it.

Sigh.

Nevetheless, it doesn't matter. The words are not retrievable but my aim of posting is still the same - about valentine's day.

This annual celebration of the heart is the day everyone seem conditioned to spend more money on cute stuff to please their other halfs, and supposedly the day in which they should shower their love on the special someone in their life.

I have celebrated and made fuss on making sure valentine's day run smooth and all but as I come to age, the day never fail to make me see how shallow everyone can be.

It's just ONE DAY.

And it shouldn't dictate why you must choose this day to show your undying love for someone.

Show it now, today, tomorrow. Not necessarily on VDAY!

Some couples however, planned to be different and avoid the norms :)






Shenath and I came to an agreement that we shall work on this day, and because it is double pay due to the collision with CNY day 1.

It was a tiring day buy nevetheless it was productive :)

Our Valentine Day make up session will come soon. Well, it's not really a vday make up session but oh well, might as well find nice way to put it.

The make up session details will be posted in future posts as the time comes :)

Meanwhile all I can say is that it will be great fun :)

Loves.

Work Entertainment

Most often than not, the restaurant I work at is always packed with patrons that it becomes a weird feeling when you have the time to idle.

I'm the type who prefer time to pass in a jiffy rather than have the hands of time lagged behind my normal body pace. Therefore, I much rather have a lot of things to do, than merely just having something to do.

Now, as I took the liberty of going for a 5-minute toilet break, here I am doing my post.

I MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO all the time.

If I'm not doing anything, I've to have something on my mind.

And if I don't, or i can't, it's a miracle.

Let me give you share with you one of my mottos that I have finally put into words:

"Rather be tired after having done a lot of things (productive), than doing nothing at all. (idle)"

So to those who are very tired and are almost drained of energy, always remember that there is always an end to that.

Just think positive and you will realize that your body will benefit from healthy (and positive) thinking.

Hugs!

Oh and thank goodness for iPhones!

Channel Telesales Executive

How does Channel Telesales Executive sound? Personally, I find that sales is really not my thing. Although I have always hit or go beyond my expected sale target, I am not very fond with it. However, the sales job I found distasteful is selling high end fashion apparells and accessories.

Giving quotation and selling IT product solutions might not really give me the same feeling as selling clothes. I know that i'm good in selling. But i prefer selling products that has fixed specifications, and not having to come up with your own con words to appeal the merchandise to customers.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think all retail clothes line companies are deemed liars and con artistes but i'm just saying as a former sales associate for clothes and accessories before, I hate feeling that part of my requirements was to con customers to buying clothes even though hands down, the item looks horrendous on them!

I have to see what it's like when selling IT products though. Besides, the job specifies that you don't look for customers - they look for you and you need to know the specifications of ALL of the products the company sells and its specifications.

And like Accounts Executive, the job requires maintenance of corporate relationships and follow through till post purchase period.

I haven't been hired completely but comparing the two companies I've gone for so far, who are both IT companies, I find myself rather stuck which to choose and what is the deciding factor between the two (or whoever that comes along).

There's also another one (company who called me for interview) that's been postpone, and I don't think that it'll be any time soon due to the CNY period - another thing I need to anticipate.

So far, the positions I've been offered are;
1. Marketing Coordinator
2. Channel Telesales Executive

Both of which will make use of my graphics designing. Same workin hours but very different pay and type of job scope.

Let's hope that I can secure a job before 21st Feb 2010. Why?

Will tell you all in future posts! For now, enjoy my after-interview camwhore selection :)

New Year 2010

Here's me posting my first entry of the New Year.

We are all aware of what 2009 brought to us. Horrid, crazy and bitch of a year it is. But how many of you actually stop to think that whatever occurred in that year has been beneficial and are ready to take it as a stepping stone to better a life?

What are you really waiting for? It's the time. Don't let the new
year be another waste. Start pursuing for greater things or do something about the damages you incurred in 2009.

Go ahead, smile and be sure that this year will be better, if not the best.

A lot more will come as the first part of the year proves rather busy and hence, stress is inevitable. It all depends on you, however, to handle stress and make your year still worth looking forward to:)

My first month of the year is rather complicated but of course there are a lot of great things that has occurred and is still on going too. The negative aspect however, is rather inevittable.

The end of 2009 seem to open up all senses and emotions to bring about talks of getting up and trying again. Hence, as 2010 came around I found myself entagled in the web of love and with the will to better the situation that both me and Thomas had succumbed to. It's been a month since we got back and yes, everything feels and seems better. Despite minor glitches along the way, we still find the will to forgive and assure each other that eventually, we mean well.

As February enters another mark to my life is made - graduation and the seek for full time employment. It's a jungle out there and it takes a lot of attitude and belief in oneself to enter the path to success. I hope I have what it takes. Currently, I have had three companies who had shortlisted me for an interview. One of which is already attended, another missed (due to a clash in examination) and one on the way.

I hope to get the best job suitable to my qualifications and zero-experience. I like the job scope of the first company who called me for the interview. However, let's see how things go. Hopefully I impressed the Director enough. *crosses fingers* :)
