September 11th

Nah, not gonna talk anything regarding the September 11 incident. However, today is quite a special day for me, cause something sort of happened, unexpectly suddenly tiba-tibaly, which made my hands and feet cold.

WARNING!!!! JUST IGNORE THE BELOW IF YOU DON'T LIKE READING CRAPS!!!!

I woke up quite early this morning, well 8+am is consider early for me, maybe because my biological clock is finally set into time. Before i did my previous crappy entry, i checked my mail as usual, and saw a mail from Jobstreet as usual also. But instead of deleting it right away like i used to without even reading, i opened it and looked at the jobs offered. Then i saw this position called Customer Support Specialist, which is different from what i normally see, e.g. Sales rep/exe, HR, Admin, etc etc. So i clicked on it, look at the job descriptions and saw this pretty interesting line, "Applicants must be able to read, write & speak Mandarin as needs to support Taiwan market." And then i was like, ok cool, and there's a chance for me to deal with Taiwanese! So without considering further more, i clicked on the APPLY button, like i used to few months ago which ended up NONE replied. I did not expect much after that, thinking that it would take them a few days to reply even if i'm in the short-listed list.

Right after i finished my morning entry, a phone call came in, and it was an alien number. And guess what, it was from Manpower, the recruitment company who does all the recruitment and training work for IBM Malaysia. The lady on the other side of the phone, named Jessica, ask if i've submitted an application on JObstreet, and blablablabla, and ya i did just a hour ago. She asked a few questions, basic ones like my educational level, any certifications for my English and most importantly if i'm able to read write and speak Mandarin. After all those stupiak questions, i finally heard what i am rather afraid to hear. "Can you come for a face-to-face interview, maybe today cause i'm quite free today??" I was stunned!!! Stunned as in S.T.U.N.N.E.D., terkejut, hak chan ha, hak dao ngai yi hai zai.... Of course i cant la, i've got nothing to wear for the interview, cause i totally did not expect to look for jobs yet at the moment, although i got all the certs and papers with me. Then she proposed again, for tomorrow morning at 11am, then i agreed. I actually paniced, thinking that OH SHIT what to wear where to buy??? Immediatly i SMSed Syl, which we've dated for lunch after my haircut at SS15, asked if she's free after that cause i got an interview tomorrow and i need work wears from head to toe.

Jeng jeng jeng, let's potong pendek everything. So we went to MidValley, shopped for almost 4 hours, and i got almost everything i need, minus a belt, and i'm so very the super broke now. By the way, It's Jusco's member day, and those crazy fellas are really.... crazy, as if there are gold for free staking inside Jusco. Anyways, i'm quite happy with what i bought, a nice shirt, a pair of working pants, a pair of very comfortable shoes, a formal but not so formal bag, a tie, and socks! Not to forget my newly cut hair. 1st time spending so much on a single day. *swt*

Seriously, i'm starting to feel nervous already, eventhough there's still 12 hours to go before i get my ass on a cab and heads to MidValley where Manpower's office is. No it's not the IBM HQ beside 1U, but the recruitment company itself. Maybe they'll pass me over to IBM HQ for the 2nd interview if i am lucky enough to get through tomorrow? hehehe... I dare not to expect much. Reason being, I can only start working on November, as i've got trips to go on October, whilst theirs is an immediate vacancy. So, let see how it goes lah!

Anyhow, i still need lucks, cause it's not easy to get into IBM you know! With all those benefits and most importantly, the pay which makes your saliva flows!! Plus some self confident and courage too, since it will be my 1st interview of my life. HOpe i dont freak out in front of Jessica at that time. *heart beating so fast already*

All the BEST to me then! xD
