The worst thing that could possibly happen to me in terms of attending job interviews has happened today.

I showed up half an hour late for my 2nd interview with Wwav Rapp Collins’ big boss.

Never in my life have I been late for anything and today was just the worst day ever to start. I had it all mapped out carefully, with me supposedly ( Read more... )

KONG HEI FATT CHOY to everyone celebrating Chinese New Year!

It hasn’t been a big event for me this year, as the point of celebration is usually a little lost when you haven’t got your family with you. Nonetheless, we did have a nice Reunion Dinner with Tim’s colleague’s girlfriend (who is Taiwanese), their housemates and some of their friends. ( Read more... )

I hate waiting.

Waiting makes me anxious, annoyed and unreasonably impatient.

And so it is rather unfortunate in a sense that I’m waiting for my future employers to hurry up with letting me start. British companies can be so slow! Contrary to popular belief, London is not more efficient and not more excellent with their speed of work than ( Read more... )

Apparently, I can still enjoy the best bits of my old job even though I don’t live in KL anymore. My ex-boss got in touch recently to ask if I wanted to interview a London-based upcoming musician/artist and needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity. I don’t actually own any filming equipment but the music label is arranging for a camera crew, so ( Read more... )

The last few weeks haven’t been all that interesting, which was why I haven’t been blogging. I spent most of my time job-hunting on the Net, calling up companies or recruiters, crafting applications and attending interviews. Contrary to my earlier belief that I was never going to land a job in London, things actually started falling into place ( Read more... )

So, we got married earlier this week. Neither the bride nor the groom suffered from a case of cold feet, so both were present at the ceremony as expected. It was a quick and easy ceremony which took place at the Barnet Registry Office, with about 9 of Tim’s family, relatives and friends in attendance. Some things about getting married which I ( Read more... )

Despite moving halfway across the world from my bank account, I’ve found that my Clinique addiction hasn’t waned. I recently took the plunge and rejoined the world of credit card shopping, a method of payment I lived on for many years (and strongly advocated) until I moved over. For some unknown reason, I had always assumed that paying for things ( Read more... )

Our recent weekend was spent visiting Oriental City to stock up on all things Asian, and a browse around the shops in our local neighbourhood (we’re never bored of it, it seems).

Before we went to Oriental City, I did a little bit of research on the place and read a few fairly decent reviews of the shops in the area. Our last big shop for Asian ( Read more... )

It’s a brand new year. Hence the brand new look. Unfortunately, I have yet to figure out why I can’t seem to change the colour of the font on my older entries. I guess the only way anyone’s going to be able to read them is to highlight the text using their mouse. Er, but that’s probably not worth the effort.

ANYWAYS.. (watch out, it’s going to be ( Read more... )
