SODay091: The Other Interview.

做梦归做梦,我还是要为自己扑后路。看来要实现梦想单单
靠自己的争取,还是不够啊!哈哈!不过如果我没有那么拼
死拼活(这部分有点夸张)的去争取,我一定会后悔!
 
其实,路路通罗马!哈哈!只要我确定目标,虽然不能走这
条路我相信一定有其他的方法让我达到目的!作人嘛,Flexible
一点比较好!要不然像我这样追一定早死!哈哈!

very little you can’t accomplish in your lifetime.”

SODay091: DARE to 追梦!

我从来都没有想过,我到现在还不敢相信我做的事情。我竟然
挑战了那封拒信,上诉要求第二次机会。我的举动吓坏了人事,
也吓坏了我自己。可是,我真的不想后悔。我真的想要在我还可
以的时候,继续。。。追梦!
 
今天虽然依然有一大堆不太幸运的事发生。其实,我对什么运气,
这种我完全不能控制的东西烦恼。我只会为我能控制的东西努力!
 
我知道我可以!=p

SODay090: Canoe Expedition!

The Expedition today is fantastic! hehe! Started off at Pasir Ris to Changi Village, then
back to Pasir Ris Beach! hehe! Total distance: 10.6 Km. AGAINST CURRENT! Arrgghh!
 
Haha… Had some good food at Changi Village before we head back only to meet
with the storm! hehe! We beached up immediately after hearing the thunder and
seeing the lightnings. Had some fun taking photos! hehe!
 
After that was the way home… super tired… but happy! hehe! =)

SODay089: Moving On!!!

没时间去想了,我接下来的一两年都已经因为昨天的事
规划好了!其实也不错的!只是我自己在追梦罢了!
 
没事!不管做什么都好,我都只会做到–最好!Oh Yeah!
 
昨天晚上,还花了一些时间,作了些让自己自感堕落的
事。不过从今天开始,我会继续保持最佳状态,在接下来,
一两年的Project上,再次表现自己!哈哈!
 
Anyway, talking about rejection, I found this super duper
funny letter to REJECT rejection letters… haha! I have decided
to use this instead of a quote to end today’s blog entry!
 

The Ultimate Rejection Letter


Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA  34109

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16.  After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department. 

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters.  With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. 

Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time.  Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August.  I look forward to seeing you then. 

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

SODay088: 现实。

我为了梦想,放弃了很多很多机会。今天,却被梦想放弃了。
我想这就是现实吧!没关系。就算不能进梦想的公司,做梦想
的工作,我还是会全力以赴,不会因为一个挫折被打败。
 
我会继续努力!Open-mouthed

SODay087: ORACLE INTERVIEW!

Today is the DAY!!!! Finally! haha! Man! I really hope everything
went well! I am a little bit concerned about the case though! haha!
 
But that aside, I think everything else went pretty well for me! Also
saw quite some old friends at the interview! hehe! Guess they are
doing well too! haha! Had some coffee with Jason and Kangwei
after the interview! nice chat! hehe!

SODay086: STRESS…

Well the stress is mental… in about another 12 hours, I would be
wide awake and getting ready for that day I have been all waiting
for… the assessment day. It’s the make or break day.
 
Spent my day preparing everything about the interview, from shoes
to clothes and of course the cases and interview cases that I have
been working on all along…. oh man… I just don’t know what will
happen. But no matter what, I would do my best! 全力以赴!

a positive one." Hans Selye quotes 
 

SODay085: Nervous, wish me luck… =)

Nervous about what else? THE INTERVIEW…. Well, in another 2 days, or rather,
in about 36 hours, would be my interview/assessment day. It would make or break
my dream career in my dream company… man oh man… This is the only organisation
that made me so so so so wana be an employee… haha!
 
Well, to prevent myself from getting too excited, I went for a slow and relaxing jog.
hehe! not bad! I feel pretty refreshed after the jog! Now I shall continue to prepare
for the interview. hehe! Wish me luck… I really hope I can be successful in this one!

SODay084: 超级无敌,目瞪口呆!

让我把今天最最最有爆料的事说出来!!!真的事太太太夸张了!
我简直不敢相信这是真的!今天我上完日语班之后,经过SAM Machine
是一个24小时,负账单,罚款这类的东西。在我前面的那个人。不知道
有没有用过这种东西。我在后面等了大半天,终于忍不住看了看他为什
么需要那么久。我通常一分钟就搞定!
 
To my SURPRISE!!! 他不但不会用那个机器,他还连那些罚款和账单信一
封一封的拆开来在让那机器Scan。天啊!他拆的速度,仿佛是怕弄伤那信
封,而当他拆完信之后,机器有倒数计时的,由于太久没反应,他需要重
新一个一个输入。这时的我心想:“OH MY GOD!!! 老天啊!你让我在他
后面,这不是分明在耍我吗?”
 
就在这时候,不可思议的事情发生了。他竟然拿起电话,一边聊天,一边
拆信,一边付账。天啊!杀了我吧!这真得太夸张了。我想就算有十个人
在我前面,都会比排在他后面快!哈哈!真的太太傻了!
 
今天当然也写了书和读了日语。可是,没有一件事是比以上那件事更夸张
的。哈哈!

SODay083: Overcome your fears!

Today, it was a lesson on rescue… haha! The most notable one would be the
swimmer to canoe rescue… you have to wait at least half a minute upside down
in the water before anyone can reach you. I was afraid…
 
Overcoming Fears…
Upside down, I came out, not because I am out of breadth, but beacuse I am…
scared.. that was the first time, I gave myself another try! This time I told myself,
"RZ, do it! everything is alright! it’s just underwater upside down!" I did it! and
subsequently many other rescue techniques that requires me to stay underwater.
and sometimes I get impatient waiting… haha afterall, I am waiting upside down
underwater… haha! It’s fun! I am glad I got over it! Oh yeah!
