it's been a long time since i last wrote.
Aussie was fun. nothing is not fun with my boy around=) we broke the usual trend this time. no hotels. just hostel. we stayed at the uinilodge along swanston road. the hostel was so much better than expected. clean and we stayed at the highest level. 14. room 8. not much shopping this time round cos we missed the summer sale by a week and 5 days is just a little too short to sightsee, shop and catch up with my frineds and cousins. met shu for dinner the first night we got there and went to St Kilda's beach with her and nikki on my second last day. hiked a teeny weeny part of the Grampians and visited Yarra valley and tasted wine till we were tipsy. but it was fun. needless to say, every moment.
today, i went for a job interview at tuas. i got a taxi. cost me $26 from my place. and i seriously screwed it up. i was not prepared. i guess KS was right. I was not too interested in the job. cos i just showed that by not taking the effort to research more and memorise the company's values. and, aftermuch talking to KS (an hour talk) i realised that i know what i do want to work as. i am not keen to work in the industry that i have spent 4 years studying in sch. he asked me whether i know what i really want. what is the opportunity cost if i were to join bin. i said the 4 yrs. he said it was none or minimal for me. cos if i am not even a least bit sure of what i really want and have no passion or whatsoever, why don't i just give bin's a try. i have got nothing to lose. i said time spent. he said uni is made to train the way you think. soft skills is the most impt factor in the corporate world. the technical skills can only get u so far. and for ladies, somehow, the career path will start to plateau when we have a family. .....long story... anyways, he said that he's sure i will not come to conclusion even after i grad in may. cos i am confused. i listen too much. easily influenced. but i appreciated the advice. i love talking to him. makes me feel better. at least i know where i am heading to now. maybe, i shold just give the highly stigmatised industry a chance. or rather, give myself a chance. i'll never know till i try it.
