In the month of May...

Since I've completed my final papers on 21/4 and Viva on 26/4, days have passed by very quickly. I went to have a look at the broadband promo at Qbay today. Well, it will take me some time b4 i switched to the broadband.
Now I'm working in a company that has high-speed internet connection. Although I don't blog while at work, I read blogs at work. muahaha. No harm since it only takes a few minutes to read a blog post. ;)
But I will be working in another company come June. In June, I will be officially hired as a full-time graduate-employee. So maybe it's not wise for me to keep spending time reading my fav blogs but to get down to WORK! Yeah, broadband will come next month or so.
Meanwhile, my lecturer wants me to do a journal based on my fyp. I am given one-month.
Means that by end of May I must finish it! No resting for holidays it seems.
And oh bout the Masters thingy, I'll put it for future plans. Hopefully after I start work, I will have a clearer picture on what I really want to study deeper, depending on what my career will lead me into.
Writing a journal is not as easy as it seems. Suddenly it looks like it's a higher level from writing a thesis. The experts are the ones evaluating a journal. -_-"

bad connection

For the past one week, my internet connection has been xtremely slow. Of course, with dial up connection, I'm still like in the dinosaur age. At first, the speed is quite normal as it used to be, at 31.2 kbps. Then after 10 minutes it will become 24 kbps, and next, 12 kbps. And that's where all webpages cannot be displayed.
I typed a blog entry 2 days ago and when I clicked publish, my internet connection went poof again. Oh it's high time to switch to broadband, eh?
Which one should I choose? There are the 'blue', 'green' and 'orange' companies.

It's all going to be over soon

I have passed up my thesis. Yay! Finally! This Saturday will be my viva. After that, it will all be over. Yup, all the months of doing this project and sleepless nights is going to be over. Moreover, it will be the end of my undergraduate studies. Come to think of it, three years is passes by so fast but there were many unforgettable moments of campus life. It's a short period but all the studies, lecture experiences, exam ups and downs, rushing datelines etc. have not only made this learning experience not only hectic but enriching too. Also, not to mention it has made me feel kinda upgraded in my thinking level and approach to both academic and non-academic stuff.
Oh...I gonna miss all these real soon.

Got It !

Ok, I got the job. Yippee!
After 1+2 rounds of interview, I got it. First round was screening interview in campus, and the other 2 rounds was in the company itself.
Due to my tight schedule, this is the first permanent job I applied and successfully got it.
Today at 12pm I've finished all my papers, I am declared free...free from exams! :D
Next thing is, of course, finish up my final editing on my thesis, having viva presemtation and next, plan what to do next for my working life.
I will sit down and think what I would do next for my future. I will also think about other jobs that I plan to apply. Yep, no doubt I've got the job (first time trial and first time success), I still have a period of a month to really think what I want to be. And yeah, the Masters thingy. Continue later in life or just put it aside and concentrate in the corporate world?
Meanwhile, it's thesis and presentation slides to finish up. Arghhh so lazy and tired. Feel like sleeping. zzz

What's next?

I am left with two more papers and yipee! I'm free from exams! Oh, as a student for the past 17 years or so, we can never escape from exams. It has become part and parcel in our lives. Exams in uni proved to be the most challenging for me. (Sometimes falling out of my own expectations and getting some dismal performance in some tough papers, no matter how hard I tried and tried).

On Monday, I'll be attending a job interview. Actually, I don't know what questions should I prepare to ask them. Of course, the main thing I'll pursue asking is to know more about the department that they will be placing for me. Oh ya, it's actually a second round interview thing. In the first round, the interviewer did explain about the department. The other day I was not in my full concentration coz I was feeling tired (yep, tired coz the night before studying for a test for one of my courses). Besides, in the first round interview I was actively answering all the incoming questions. Also, as I mentioned, for students its gotta be test! Ya test prior to interview, which caught me off guard but again, students can never escape this..muahaha. For this time I want to register the information about the department in detail into my head properly, as this 'might' be my future career that I'll be working on right after I grad. Besides asking this, what other questions shall I ask them? Oh I've gotten a tip or two here. Thanks! :)

I realise throughout my life, I've gone through various interviews. During those days in school, I went for interview to become a librarian. Yeah, and got it. Also, interview for girl guides as one of it's tests (didn't went through for some of it..hehe) Interviews for some part time jobs (got 2 out of 4). Last but not least, interview to become an intern (I'm really glad and thankful for this one). So, what's next? Go for the interview and maybe, blog it here. ;)

Lots of unfinished work

Oh no... Thesis dateline is getting closer, but I'm stuck at it. It has been difficult to continue the unfinished part. Week after week I've made attempts to get it done but I'm arghhhhh struggling so much. Tomorrow homework is due. Wed there's a test, a very tough one coz the lectures itself is tough. Thur, another test. An important one coz it's the final exam for that paper. In April I will have 3 big examinations, and then yipee! I'm done with exams. I will start working and it will be the beginning of my working life.

Polling Day

In about half an hour’s time, the polling day of General Election 2008 will come to an end. And by tonight till early tomorrow, the results will be announced.

Over the past few weeks or so, everything involves about election. Topics of conversation evolve around who to vote, why vote for this person/party, this party ceramah is held here, that over there, if this party wins what will happen, if it doesn’t what will happen..etc.

I’m supposed to be part of those people who cast their votes today but I’ve not registered. Well, I’m very sure of who to support if I go to the polls today but yeah, silly of me to not have registered. Next time around, I am sure to be a responsible citizen to cast my vote. You see, my grandma aged 88 years old with walking aid went all out to vote early in the morning but I’m voteless coz I’ve forgotten to register myself till it was speculated beginning of the year that election will be held early this year. Nevertheless, I’ll follow the results closely as this 12^th GE is one of the most debated and hottest GE around.

In the 2004 GE, I was following the results till early in the morning. I remembered the results of no. of votes were scrolling down the TV screen from time to time and it was quite boring actually. But I continued watching coz I'm interested to know who won and who did not in certain areas especially in Penang.

It's now raining although it was sunny this morning. Well, many citizens have casted their votes early as it was predicted to rain in the evenings. Now it's up to the winning party/candidates who have won after today to count their blessing and put up their best effort to serve as for this time, it's a tough one for some of them and their parties.
