Intensively Job-hunting

Crazy it may sounds, but actually I have been busy job finding for the past one month to two months now. It's really been taxing and almost declared useless to try and find job and get all worked up I guess. Economic was said to have stabilized since the last time news reported, but to find job now is really a bad situation to work with. Oh, but nonetheless, one can't stop trying to make it happen, isn't it?

Well, for me, I have been constantly working around twelve job finding portals and make a point to send resume whenever I possibly could convince myself 'it won't hurt to give it a try'. I wouldn't dare to claim to be the worst candidate ever, but neither am I the best.. Also, I don't think that I am in the worst situation compared to probably a lot more other people who have been affected the same way as I do.

Strangely enough, I seem to be attending to quite a few interviews over the searching period and yet, I am still left unemployed. I personally won't believe if I did any critical mistake during interviews, but I just don't understand why either. I guess, its the constant perseverance that I gotta keep up with to win this "fight" now. Hmm.. just to hope to get employed and stay employed soon. Wish me better luck guys! =D

Yaoi : Junjou Romantica

Oooh.. Yes, I have been slacking a lot to have caught the whole two seasons of this Yaoi. In fact, this is my #1 Yaoi I would recommend to all my friends. It's one of my favorites.. I am loving it! As my past past posts that I started watching this form of Anime not so long ago, I have really grew to like many Yaoi, but I would say this is until now the best I have seen. Yup yup..

Hmm.. well, a little bit of introduction about this Yaoi for people who doesn't know. Junjou Romantica means Pure Romance or Pure-hearted Romance. The story revolves around three couples: Misaki and Akihiko; Hiroki and Nowaki; and Miyagi and Shinobu. Oh oh, my personal preference is none other than Misaki and Akihiko.. I like Misaki more than Akihiko.. Misaki is so kawaii-neh~~

Erhem.. back to the stuffs.. Anyway, the story revolves around mostly these three couple. But it's of course not so simple as such.. it never was simple in the first place. Okay, probably I should say something more in depth. Misaki is the younger brother of Takahiro who is the childhood friend of Akihiko. Akihiko likes Takahiro apparently right from the start, but Takahiro is straight (or bi) and got married in the earlier episodes.

Misaki is a young kid and requires to sit for college entrance examinations which he possibly couldn't do it all by himself. And so Akihiko became his tutor and landlord (means they lives under one roof) overnight. Well, Akihiko became liking Misaki over one incident.. What incident possibly that could be and what will that lead them to in the end.. Ain't you starting to feel interested to the story now? Haha.. Oh yes.. This one you gotta see it for yourself..

Junjou Romantica (Anime Season Website)

The link is right above here. It comprises of 12 episodes of roughly 23 minutes of streaming each. Speaking Japanese and subtitled in English.. Very easy to understand.. And I also kindda like their theme song for the Anime ley. Nice nice nice!!! Hahaha. Ooops.. Oh, one more thing I like so much about this Yaoi is the character Nowaki. The characterising makes him so.. so nice. Everything about him is so wonderful, right from being a child he is an orphan to the fact that he falls in love at first sight with Hiroki and tries so hard so hard to love him, or deserve his love.

And if the above season you have done with, this below link in to season two! Season two is also very interesting and explain a lot more stuffs linking to season one. I am already looking forward for season three now.. ^O^ Oh oh.. the best part to season two that I think is super super exciting is the fact that Misaki got a chance to meet Akihiko's brother and father! XD Here here.. Go and see it yourself.. I won't stop you now >_=

Junjou Romantica Season 2 (Anime Season Website)

Semester 1/2009 Post-Exam

Woah.. Sure is shag to handle four different papers. Hmm.. What has just ended was a nightmare I remember.. It's Corporations Law. It's madness I say.. Even though it's an open book examination, even though it's a 3 hours paper, even though it's merely ten short questions and two structured questions, but, it's crazy de lor. Never did I stopped a second to reconsider on the things I have written and thinking time is in minutes..

Almost could I sing the 'what you waiting' song. Tick tock tick tock, the times up. Hands aching from all the busy flipping and scribbling. Havoc me. Hmm.. but glad all is over, finally over for now. Seemingly, it's hard to tell which of my classmate is confident of their grades and whose not.. but I am sure I am not one of those who is at the very least.

Been up for couple of nights consecutively now that I remember, the only thing that I ever wanted after the examination was rest, rest and more rest. Almost sounding like a swine, but more skinny and taller.. hehehe =D And that paper marks my last paper.. But that also marks the end of the most enjoyable semester I ever had till now. The kind of activeness and fun and less lonely semester.

What's going to be my next concern is none other than Semester 2 modules, the start of the cycle begins with an end. But that, I shall save it for the next time.

Potentially Sucks...

Damn.. All my imeem stuffs all became so retarded. I didn't expect it'll affect all my past embeddable links. Crap liao lor.. Seems like I gotta find myself a second sources for sharing of music, videos, and music videos le. Seems like after a break, my blog don't seem so interesting and inspiring all of a sudden. In any case, if anyone knows of any free music and video sharing website that allows embedding, share with me okay..

Oh, eventhough I wasn't blogging for the past months, I gotta say this, I have been visiting my own blog to look at it's comments and stuffs. And of course, sometimes to re-read what I have written in the past months. Hmmm.. well, planning on starting season two of 'Something about Me, Something about Gay and something about Love'. But definitely not so soon.. Afterall the last season ended just March. Haha.. Probably pick an auspicious date that I like to launch. =D

Hmm.. Oh, I guess most people that visits my blog must have been bored of the 'Hot Shot' pics by now.. I guess that's something I gotta do about it as well. My my, soo many things to do. But to tell the truth, I don't get bored with those pictures just yet. I kindda pick them in such a way that I won't get bored. Hmm.. Oh well, how can anyone get tired of eye-candies anyway..?

One of the things that I wished to do about this blog and couldn't is probably the appearances of it. Can't really seem to find a skin that I am looking for. Something that is simple, with designs on the background and wide blog post layout and the very nice side space for all kinds of widgets and add-ons. Anyone is willing to lend me a hand on this? Maintaining a blog sure is hardwork.. But guess I do grown slightly attached to my own blog afterall, if not why would I make the effort for a comeback yah...

Earth Hour 2009

It's something new to me, and so I tried reading about it. And apparently with what is on their Website, which is called Earth Hour. And I discovered how this is to them is kind of not what I thought. To the Earth Hour, 'Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.' (Earth Hour, 2009)

Anyway, just in case you didn't know about this.. Let me simplify the action.. Earth Hour is about switching off and avoid using electricity for an hour during the "Earth Hour", which happens to be 28 March 2009 this year's. It started in 2007 in Sydney, which had a response of 2.2 millions from homes and businesses. And this year, the Earth Hour is looking at a scale of 1 billion as a part of "global vote".

Oh, and one more thing, instead of using electricity, you can either idle at home in darkness and go to bed earlier than usual, of lighting candle and be inconvenient.. Or, head down to Botanical Gardens at Botany Centre to have a Picnic at 2.00 and Esplanade Park at 5-9.30pm with a beeswax candle and picnic rag and food basket! LOL.. Sounds real fun yeah? First time in Singapore, we are all going to be caught in the dark where every inch of the city will not be seen.

Hmm.. sounds like an idea, but then again, what does that means? The World may say global warning is happening, but is really just an hour in 1-2 years going to make a difference to the future? It may of course slow down the process, but what can be done with slowing down the process when everywhere around the World we uses motor vehicles and lights, and some even worst to be caught smoking contributing to both environmental issues and human issues.

The way things are now is pretty unstoppable with two opposing forces. The against and the towards.. And as for me, probably I am a neutral, which is not a surprise to me if neutral has the most portions of the populations. But oh well, I am not going to be at home anyway tonight.. Hahaha. I would be in fact already out of my house around 5.40pm for my Dragon boat Team gathering somewhere in someone's condo function hall.

Probably going to club later in the night as well.. But then, if the 8.30-9.30pm is going to be happening, I suppose it is one big thing that I will not missed out at any parts of Singapore yeah.. Probably walk in the dark later in the deep night. And hopefully without bombings and terrorism activities going on. =D Get busy now.. Tata~

25th March 2009: Fitness First, My First

Nothing much happened seriously, but I just complaint that my Dragon Boat training has been giving me this post-training ache all around the whole of my back body, from the shoulder to the waist. They are like partly soaring ache and partly aching pain.. Really something you wouldn't feel comfortable to be with. And that it persisted right from the day of the last training till this Wednesday and I don't have anyone to show me the way to deal with it.

It is of course one way is to massage it.. Anyone, professional or not. Oh, and by the way, I don't visit massage parlor. Hmm.. Don't wish to be touched by anyone I am not familiar with I guess, and neither am I interested in the environment. Hmm.. And previously, I would ask my dad to do some back massage from my previous back ache, but then again, my dad wasn't around to do it for me this time. Looking around, it's only me and the four walls.. and my hands of course. Although possible, but then over the awkwardness of the arms, I rather not, and anyway, I won't get a good massage by rubbing my back with my own hands =/

Then my friend recommended me to go for a one-time free visit to the Fitness First Gym to drop by and try out their Balance class, can't really remember the name of the instructor though. Anyway, and so I considered and considered as I was as well, quite skeptical over expensive private gym centers. But then, I still did. Oh, and we (me and my friend and he is called Dominic by the way) went down to the Fitness First at The Cathay, and it was cool and we went for the Balance class.

It was really good, with music and moves that stretches and relaxes and cultivates balance to the practitioner. Motions and movements, stretching and twisting.. It did relieved tons of ache almost immediately after the session. And the session lasted for about an hour. And it's really amazing how all these could come in and aid my back aches and stuffs. It sure is one jolly good experience with paying a visit to one of the competitive private gym centers.

Oh and the remaining of the day is all about traveling down to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and travel to evening class from a long bus route from Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. You see, days and days ago, my baby just doesn't respond to starting up right after nine updates were made to it, and just went completely dead right after I agreed to restart it. And the Service Centre is in none other than Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. But lucky to know that the moment I was there and showed my baby to the guy over the desk, he managed to salvage my baby and it's ok le! And I need to pay nothing for it... =D

But then it was all so troublesome to take bus 174 down to Hotel Rendezvous with at least an hour plus travel time and twenty plus minutes to thirty of waiting time. And nevertheless, I was late for class by twenty minutes =_= And the worst come after that, that after I reach the class, I didn't pretty much understand what is being taught in the class for that day and the class ended like an hour later with going through some tuitorial and like always, students with problems stay behind, and the rest can leave.. And that's about it. Pant pant..

My Studies Progression

A new Trimester started: Trimester 1, 2009. Finally the usually long and not so packed time plan with the study loads I chose to take. This Trimester, I have of course chosen to take four modules as well. And it has by far, just started with this week. The study plan is pretty tightly placed side by side, but then, by the outline of it, it is just fine as it should be. Oh, talking about my this Trimester reminded me to speak of my Trimester 3 of last year. I am sure you will be very curious to know what kind of grade did I get for that right?

Well, it wasn't bad at all, it was not bad, just that it wasn't something that I had planned for at all. It was so called "sub-standard" grades all thanks to the unresponsive results of assignments and online tests. But good enough to not to retake the modules and delay my course plan, yup I scored Ps (Passes) and Cs (Credits) for my four modules in an even manner. And so, it wasn't so bad at the end of the day.

And so due to the exam results, I have decided to plan a pre-attempt to finish the required assignment to perfection and not last-minute preparation in order to earn more marks for my final results for this Trimester. And only after that that I would go out and get on with getting into a part-time job once again. And luckily for this time, I was given roughly four main assignments and one online test, and that one online test is for my Business Finance Module.

Good going and hoping for a smooth sailing as well. Having hiccups here and there doesn't mean that I shouldn't get on with whatever that is waiting for me in the future right.. Just got to learn and let things go. Oh, and for my this Trimester, I am so much happier.. I have found myself a friend to study Business Communication Module with and a very potent Barrister as my lecturer for my Corporation Law Module.

And curiously, for the past three Trimester that I took I seemed to be taught by these two lecturers for which ever I selected.. Miss Ricci Loh and Mr Harjinder. Very remarkable lecturers, but then, I just didn't know whats the problem lies in for me to under-perform under their supervision and guidance. But I guess the best modules that happens to also be quite a challenge (it basically means killer modules) are Audit and Taxation.

Oh and I think I do enjoy Business Communication very much. The lecturer is so chirpy and can present herself really well.. And the best part is, you are not required to learn a lot and remember and apply them. But more like learning in specific on how to totally deliver and present in multiple manners to multiple audiences and stuffs like that.. I think that's the kind of less brain, more interaction modules that I enjoy bah.

Edios for now, remember to come back and visit my blog often than not.. =D Have a nice weekday!

Last Day of Work...

Last day of work comes in many forms so does reasons to this end of work. Usually comes planned, but exceptions are that some are unplanned. And like usual, planned last day to work are usually noted with very big red circle by both the supervisor of the employee and the effected employee you see. And you see, the point being, I am not in this usual way of last day of work... And that pissed me quite a lot.

The Finance Manager governs my supervisor is this middle-aged woman with spectacles and dressed in some clothes and looks really Cantonese (I don't even know 'Cantonese' can be used this way...). She tried very hard to usually portrays that she is an understanding person and she has good command of management and such. And she tries even harder to make herself looks very courteous and kind towards employees under her and hardest when she tries to make her point over.

She would deem herself improvising kind of person, but I would deem her self-righteous. And the best part about her is that, her management is pretty messy actually. So messy that she thought she got things all under-controlled but then, when it comes to audit, she discover things don't turn out the way it should be. And she actually drove say some temporary staff working directly under her stressed and resigned within a month.

It was only lucky for me that she wasn't my direct supervisor, but some Assistant Accountant under her. Oh well, my job went past to her, not my supervisor anyway. It happened so that one day as she was talking to me and then we discussed about the working schedule and she wanted me to work for the last week of the month. And I was like, "Why would I be working by then? I mean, my contract date will already be by then ended..." and do you know what she says? She said something very unprofessionally to what I think.. "Then I would expect you to renew your contract."

That word.. That demanding tone of voice.. when through my spine like some irritants tickling my bones. So out and proud and expect and demanded so.. It's like, didn't you learned Business Law before? The purpose of contract and everything like terms? And did she even asked me what's my plan about my contract? She has totally disregarded me, completely misplaced my position like some non-living things.. Pissed is under-rated.

Anyway, I pointed out the fact that as an employer, it shouldn't happen so. She shouldn't have misunderstood my contract and lastly, claimed that why I didn't inform her that my contract ended before that.. Making a big fuss and said that she wasn't aware and stuffs and that I should have at least told her. I mean, personally and logically, would you go around telling everyone "Hey, my last day is end of this month ley.." I wouldn't at least.. It definitely one thing will affect the working motivation and morals of the around staffs. And second, it's not a proud thing about the last day of work.

Anyway, days later, she just bring forward my termination five days earlier from expected.. unexpectedly. I would assume that this is an act of frustration and pissed that she doesn't know about my contract end date and stuffs and so just did me off. Oh well, anyway, it's that how Singapore society sees temporary contract and part-time staffs right? Like dirt. The highest workloads, us.. The highest benefits, them.. The highly-paid them.. The lowly-seen us.. =X Tsk tsk tsk

Aarinfantasy

Guess what, an old year has past and a new year has touched down. Thanks for sticking around. Something I wish to share with you guys is this website. I am sure there are tons of guys likes Japanese animation, some of which are Bleach, Naruto and One Piece. I liked none of those, but that doesn't mean I don't like Japanese animation.

I have tripped over this website, called Aarinfantasy. To some of you, I think should be rather familiar, but to the others, it is something new. It is a Yaoi Collection website. Yes, I liked watching Yaoi. Yaoi is defined as 'a popular term for fictional media that focuses on homosexual male relationships, yet is generally created by and for females' (by Wikipedia). If you got time, you may want to click on Wikipedia's link and start reading from there what does Wiki says about Yaoi.

Anyway, back to where I paused, Yaoi. I started to watch Yaoi lately, and yes, I enjoyed it. I started off watching Junjo Romantica Season 1, and from there onwards, I kindda like it. Please feel free to tour the site I have recommend if you have some excess time and doesn't know what to do with them. Maybe you can spend sometime browsing the website, and if you feel like it, download their episodes and enjoy the animation.

Something to take note, the downloading program requires Torrent. And secondly, as a fateful viewer, anyone who enjoys the animation, maybe can make some donations to keep the Yaoi art-spirits alive. Oh, and by the way, if you don't know, it is almost inaccessible to such materials in Singapore (if you know what I mean).

I personally have finished the whole season of JunJo Romantica Season 1. Looking forward for Season 2 ^_^. Meanwhile, have as well, finished watching Gakuen Heaven as well. Haha.. Have fun with my recommendation!

Work for Full 2 Weeks

Somehow or another, working part-time ain't as easy as it seems. It seems to only matters what you can do during your work and the brain processing to measure it's difficulty. Last week, since my exam lied on the middle two weeks, I got to work the first and the last week of the month for full two weeks. Didn't get a chance to rest much even though it's two weeks of none working.. Well, explainable right? Cause I was doing my exam revision.

And now, here I am taking on another full week of work. And the things are required to do seemed pretty new as I seemed to be not doing a specific department's focus, but rather, general. But when it comes to a department, I am recognized as that of in the Accounts. Do basic Accounts required.. Oh, and at the same time, learned few tactics about analyzing information and data. Putting years of data for some guy to make sense out of and make decision on. Cool!

And finally, I am proud to say that I have used AccPac before.. Some stupid Accounting software that is ERP versioned and my manager was like so proud of it, when I personally feel that it is more giving the user more work than making the work if Accounts easier. Comparing this with my previous company's Accounting software: QuickBook Pro.. I would think that QuickBook Pro is so much easier to use and the control and everything is better.

Oh well, probably they just want to feel proud saying that they are using AccPac ERP version. Oh and they use god damn lots of softwares.. They also used Hyperion and CubeBox or something. It's like, "Com'on! IT softwares are meant to lighten work, enhance performance and make things easier.." and they are like killing themselves with so many different platforms to use and follow. Hmm.. Probably they will need a lot of synchronising at the end of the day.

Work never been easy, but if humans put their minds into it, yes, work can get so much easier. The only undiversifiable work will be manual need of work such as keying data and doing paper documentation. And probably red tapes are included too.. But when it comes to process, seriously, technology is the key.. Or is it.. =)

There she is!!! Final Installment

Something that finally comes to a conclusion. Referring to my previous post: Restless is bad.. Mm'kay

Comes a final installment that concludes the whole flash. The previous time in step 4, Doki the rabbit was caught in the power struggle and in turn hurt a lot of friends involved. Nabi the cat didn't know what to do but to conform to the majority society thinking and turned his back against Doki. Nabi doesn't want to do anything, but was later on being arrested in a commotion. Just when Doki was looking for Nabi and wanted to fly to Paradise together, Nabi was in detention cell and was unreachable. If you are interested to know what is going to happen after that, please click the button below.



And as well, this is a Korean animation which I was quite interested in. And if you are too, and wish to know more, you may want to visit the website of the creator as well: http://www.sambakza.net/

One thing I really liked about this animation is the story plot. Which is about cats and rabbit (Ceteris paribus) in love. Logically, by norm and by knowledge, is wrong. But then again, what is wrong? Love didn't say they must be of the same breed.. Love also didn't specify it have to be the guy must love the girl first. A very non-conformist story plot, which is very James! And of course, the arts, and most of all, the music selected, very nice...

P.S. If you are interested to see the previous installments, feel free to click the link: Restless is bad.. Mm'kay

Dragon Boat & Volunteering: Planning Phase

Well, remember that I mentioned that I planned to join Dragon Boat right? Hmm.. I did took an initiative to look up on Dragon Boat and stuffs and I came across this interesting team that happens to be an active volunteer group as well. The group I am talking about is CCWA (Caregiver Counseling Welfare Association) Dragon Boat Team. So, there's two items here, one is the Organization, and the other is the Team.

So the Organization is this CCWA as mentioned earlier which provides assistance and aids to people with disability, mental illness, life threatening diseases, and lonely elders too. A very wide range of recipients so to say. And as for the Dragon Boat Team under this well, is kind of unknown right now. Hmm.. And of course, from all first impression is that Dragon boat is so hard so hard, this and that. Well, I don't give in to things that I never tried, and so, yeah, I guess I will plan my way out probably after my Exams in February.

Hmm.. As for volunteering, that reminds me that Shahul korkor is doing some mentoring and stuffs as a volunteer for a long while now. Probably I will consult him on where did he do his flexible and fun volunteering.. But just as I was doing my personal research on the net, I think I did found something which quite suit my liking, volunteering at Students Care Service. Like what the name of the volunteer Organization says, it's main beneficiaries are towards mainly children and youths. But at the same time, involves family members, youth offenders, and schools too!

Wow, and I always thought of giving tries as consultants or counselor and facilitator.. Now is my time to put on such tries through volunteering. It has three centers: Clementi, Hougang and Yishun. That's one of the reason as well, at least it is along a convienent line of way, and that's Clementi. LOL.. Volunteering until like that, so fussy right? Anyway, one of my reason of volunteering is that I want to tune to understand different people from different crosses of life.

Probably it would do me great deal of tuning for personal good as well as a form of observation of human behaviour which I would deem as a form of Psychological understanding bah. I did of course, thought before of going into the field of study in Psychology. But definitely not going to me by first field nor main field of works.. not unless I have a Master or PhD on it and a international license to practise and research.

Anyway, that's about it... Hopefully, this entry will lead you to feel good about knowing someone who am going to do good to the society, or motivates you to join me in the route of contributing to the needies. I on the other hand, do really got to put my work and studies before all though, wish me good luck bah!

Blog and Bloggers...

As day pasts, day approaches, I discover two things: 1, I have been blogging for quite a while now. With my first blog post dated 28 August 2008, and now is already 2009 January! And I have blogged about so many things within just a mere few months past. But then again, this makes me worry as well.. How long more will JamesW850i last? With the fast paced lifestyle and the busy schedule now and future.. It's high maintainence lo.

And the 2, I discovered that friends started to leave blog and stopped blogging altogether. Hmm.. Nothing new, but just that, since the day blog has been introduced to be one of those things that you can do and enjoy with internet, people learned the good things about writing down things and occurrences day by day. Like in the past, back in Secondary School, teachers would encourage the students to write journals, and diaries too.

Blogs would be the electronic and made-easy accessible form of journals and diaries I should say, and it's both good. And I have found myself fond of writing about things all around me, caught my attention, and interests me or puzzles me, or anything.. All these while has been quite fun and intriguing for me, and hopefully it does too for blog readers like you. Nowadays, I have been finding new sources and materials and ideas and fun things to blog, and outreach to everyone.

Be sure to keep followup with my updates on blogs and every other posts. Hmm.. It may not be blogged every other day, and probably not consistently maintained and untidy and simple and bored outlook of the blog, well, at least I am here to say, I have not given up on my blog! =D But strange things do happen, that there seems to have a lot of people visiting my blogs everyday and yet only some few of the people comments and leave behind tracks and links and stuffs.

Do feel free to comment you know.. I'll be happy to read here ;-)

Despair..??

You never know when the next person is going to go against the norm, is another like-minded, but actions other-wise person. In Singapore, Motivational quotes are something that has been newly around for maybe 5 years time.. And it is something that is being easily accessed almost everywhere you go to, examples, hospital, offices, and even NPC (Neighborhood Police Centers) sometimes.

How to spot one? Very easy.. Usually it is a black or white lamented piece of thing, with a very big picture and below it a line or two motivational quotes extracted somewhere. The picture can be as common as a scenery, or as abstract as just a drawings maybe. But today, I am going to tell you I am not going to motivate you. Not even a bit.. =) In fact, I am going to do the opposite, and that's demotivate you.. to the point of Despair! Muahahaha...

I am here to share this website with you: Despair, Inc. It is some creations of probably several smart alec to think about such non-conformist service to "balance things up" a little. What I am saying here is, to give you a new perspective to thinking. Just to share some interesting demotivation:

It says 'CONSULTING - If You're Not a Part of the Solution, There's Good Money to be Made in Prolonging the Problem.'

LMAO.. Anyway, that's not all, it's almost as good as motivations. And you may not believe, but this is what the Founder and COO says 'we believe motivational products create unrealistic expectations, raising hopes only to dash them. That's why we created our soul-crushingly depressing Demotivators® designs, so you can skip the delusions that motivational products induce and head straight for the disappointments that follow!' (K.L.Kersten, Ph.D., 13 Mar 2009)

I find a lot of many other demotivators kind of funny and some really very sarcastic, so much so that I enjoyed laughing at them uncontrollably. Not the best kind of joke available, but definitely one of those new ones. Tell me which is your favorite one.. I sure am curious =P

Philosophy: Better Save than Sorry

Have you in any circumstances experienced something like this:

That you are living your own life, making your own decisions, speaking up for yourself and doing things for yourself, living up to your matured responsibilities as you. Just then, people doubt you, distrustfully and disruptively, and starts to tell you what to do and how to do your things. And telling you if you do this or do that, what is it that is required of you. And makes you want to just ignore them because more of the explanations you give are just falling on deaf ears and not heard?

And the biggest joke of all is that, if you are folly enough or so as to be trusting enough to follow those instructions, and things didn't went the way it should be, and you got to bare the responsibilities majority and this subject figure starts to apologies... Isn't it a bit too late to say sorry now? And sorry is just so not going to give you a second chance to not repeat such mistake ever again.

Familiar I suppose? Here's a story I have read and learned and know somewhere in this World existed and still kept in my mind but to speak truly, I am not referring to anyone's work in particular and not copying anyone's work as well. If facts or situation somewhat turned out similar or worst, same, please understand that I did not copy it from you okay:

There were once lived this old farmer who lived with his young grandson. One day, this old farmer saw his young grandson going around killing ants which is located right outside the pleace where they stayed. Poor ant and their home are devastatedly wet and flooding. And the old farmer calls to his grandson, 'lad, come over' and the young grandson slowly paced over to his grandpa, 'what is it pups'. On the old farmer holds two things, one is a nail, and the other is a hammer.

Just then, the old farmer told to his young grandson, 'lad, do you know that killing innocent ant is wrong? They didn't disturb you, why did you disturb them?' the sad and regretful young grandson look back at those wet ants and ant nests feeling very bad. Just then, the old farmer past him this hammer and nail in his hands, 'from now on, whenever you did something wrong, take a nail and pound it into this wooden pillar here.' puzzled the young grandson may be, but he remained silent and started pounding the first nail into the pillar. 'And when you did something nice, pull one nail out from the pillar...'

A few more days later, he committed something wrongful, and he took another nail and pounded it into the pillar and some nails are pulled from the pillar. And another few days passes by, and some more nails were driven and more are pulled out from the wooden pillar. Day come, day past, more nails are driven to the pillars and. Until one very day not far from then, the old farmer called to the young grandson, 'come over here' and he slowly strolled over. The old farmer begin saying, 'now do you see the pillar, what has it become?

'Your past bad things may have been uplifted by your past good deeds, but nonetheless, the hole is still there remains in the wooden pillar. So whenever you do anything, consider the outcome. Don't just do, because amendments are just not good enough.'

What have you learned from here? Just something for you to ponder today...

A Vexy Day

This would be one of those days that I am both heart-trapped and mind-troubled and yet racing and battling against time in search of the cure to the source of such bother. One that is able to think and logically construct a reasonable and valid solution, and two it got to consider other intangible complications as well which normally includes things like people's feelings, emotions, etc. Not that I am a trouble seeker, nor am I too free and found nowhere to utilize the same effort and so entangled myself. Well, noone may understand why and what, even though I know exactly why and what it is.

Such a feeling is best described to as vex and the best solution to it is talk it out. Talking is important, at the same time, this talking is very crucial as well. For example, how you talk things out affects the outcome.. Or how about this, the time you choose to talk things out affects the outcome as well, and many other variables. Most important determinants in such a situation in specific, I would think is the people involved. Best kept as two person, but sometimes it just involved more. Talking over the vex feelings is a way to express views under a bit of duress and a bit of extreme conditions of non-ideal environment, which to what I think, doubly adds on the reason to talk.

Only by talking, ideas can be put to known.. And only by talking, the message can be transmitted.. And only by talking, expressions are understood.. And only by talking, can there have a tendency of better communication through vocal. Such communication is important is all circumstances and is applicable to most suggestions you can come up with. Since such a communication is important, there are times when communications ain't as effective or ain't efficiently communicated. So in order for the communication to be effectively and efficiently put across, it requires a general understanding of the concept of one talker and one listener, or one speak and one receive, ideally.

As of the understanding of speaking and receiving, whenever there are more than one speaking and there's only one receiving, the receiving role will overload and mis-communicates. Similarly for one speaking and there's more than one receiving, the different receiver will all capture different things and come up with a lot of different answers, and thus, overloading. And that explains the ideal concept of one speaking and one receiving. Doesn't that just sound wonderful?

Well, no. I didn't have the opportunity to do all those =(

Part-Time Jobbing, which part do you not understand?

You know, sometimes I really wonder how structured is the system an economy can get. For one very specific aspect such as employment seeking, how structured it can get? How much did the workers know about the exact details of employment? Terms and conditions? Government guidelines? Policies and Benefits? Restrictions of Job Titles? I somehow felt that there is so much more the society can improve and further make me feels like 'hey, I ain't that ignorant and useless ok..' :P

Generally, all of it happens like this.. I decided to seek part-time employment in accounting job scope for permanent this time round after my examination was over and after my class started immediately the week after that (by the way result not out yet, so anxious about the result). And so, as according to the norm, I am required to send resumes out to the respective interested positions that I wanted to apply in the form of E-mail. Leaving behind my contact numbers and some other details in my job search, so as to better regulate them if they happen to want to contact me and schedule an interview of some sorts.

And as always, the job searching agency usually floods the job searching website more than the employer's job candidates searching advertisement. And thus, most of my interested callers are job searching agents. I discover they usually have two very common questions which they have problem in understanding and what are those you may want to know, they are, 'may I know what do you mean by part-time?' and 'why do you want to look for part-time?' And thus, what would I answer them in a repeative way which I explains to all of the people who asked so:

What do you mean by part-time?
What I meant by part-time is a search for the job that can allows me to work about the guidelines of 30hours (but the job agents rather here 32hours) or working four out of five work days in a weekday. Seriously I suppose most people wouldn't know that actually I am referring directly from latest 2007 update on part-time requirement and context, which noone really knows that I think. And added that if the employers require me to work every weekday (five weekdays) then I would knock off equivalently at 4pm. Which part of calculation they can't understand that 9am-4pm everyday adds up to 30hours? Seemingly they could still ask why.. And I really also puzzled what is meant by 'why'.

Why do you want to look for part-time?
This is more like a personal reason which I have no problem putting it in words, but yet, people tend not to understand. Ok, allow me to say it this way, I am currently studying part-time degree near to City Hall and but then the study load that I am given is the study load of a full-time student that requires me to contribute most of my time in studies compared to a usual part-time student. Whom would choose to take things in a less tense and less compact manner.. It will be required to attend classes averagely four times per week. And next would cause them as 'why do you want to knock off at 4pm?' implying that my class is at 7pm and knocking off earlier wouldn't help me in anyway (in the viewpoint of a job agent which sounds so insensitive). I shall not go into that, but basically, it will pose a threat to the time I can contribute to my study which eventually effects my modular results.

Well, my objective of this post is to make everyone who read this aware that there can have more improvements done on such an important process such as employment searching. Employment searching are important as if the employment process are not fitting, the employees won't turn up motivated working for the company in the end. People can learn to be less inclined towards trying to clinch quantity clients and more inclined for quality employments, doesn't it sounds like some vision to look forward to? I do feel it's achieveable, eventhough I know people are both careless and lazy people. It that a different way to feel trust?
