Merry Xmas & A Happy New Year
Here’s wishing all my readers a belated Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
Unfortunately I have kind of abandoned this blog for the past few months as I had been busy settling down with my new job.
I make it no secret that I love my new job – I love what I have been doing, [...]
My new job
3 weeks into my first corporate job, I have just gotten used to the routine of getting up each weekday morning at 6.30am, getting ready for work, taking the bus, making a transfer and finally making it to office at 8.30am or thereabouts.
Getting used to working with my new colleagues who are mostly very nice [...]
What is the value of Citizenship in Singapore?
I haven’t posted any writings on societal issues for quite some time already because I wanted to instead focus on things that are more important for improving my own life (e.g., find a job, think about how to get out of Singapore for good, etc).
But some recent developments really infuriated me and hence I am [...]
To stay or not to stay
Now that I finally found a job, I ought to be very happy. However, I am actually having mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I’m glad that I found an ideal job in an ideal industry. On the other hand, having found a job means that I now have to re-think about my future [...]
Finally employed
Finally, after 4 months of job hunting… I received a job offer! And it is for a job that I am very passionate about, in an industry that I love to be in! I must say that the long and tiring job hunting process was worth it for all that I learnt through the interviews [...]
Is money important?
Went for a job interview this morning at a US listed technology company. I have about 2 years’ relevant experience doing things similar to the job requirements, so I asked for 3.3k starting salary despite being a fresh graduate (I mentioned that the figure is negotiable. The hiring managers kept asking me questions like… “is [...]
Job hunt updates
It’s been quite a while since I last posted updates.
About 4 months have passed since I started job hunting. My typical day is spent at the PC, scouring job portals and all the websites of all good companies I can think of for job listings. I am maybe identifying suitable jobs at the rate of [...]
Last Day in Siem Reap
I just got back to Singapore last night. Yesterday after breakfast I went for a massage. I have some problems with my neck and shoulder so I thought it’d be nice to get a head, neck and shoulder massage before returning home. To cut a long story short the massage was so bad that I [...]
Siem Reap Day 4
I had a breakfast of omelette with mushrooms today with coffee, then went to town for a Khmer food cooking class at a restaurant called Le Tigre de Papier. It costs US$12 for a 3 hour programme which includes a short tour of the fresh produce section of the Old Market, 2 hours of cooking [...]
Siem Reap Day 3
This morning I woke up at 4.45am to get to Angkor Wat in time to watch the sunrise. Yesterday I accidentally defaced my flismy Angkor Wat pass when I placed it in my pocket and it got wet from my perspiration. First thing this morning I bungled again – after a 15 minutes tut tut [...]
