Hmm.. i don't know to be happy or sad. Well, i'll put things into perspective and let you, my friends decide if it's good or bad.
Today, i just received news on my ITP (industrial Attachment). I will be working in this telecommunications and network company. It was my LAST choice and i was like 100% sure that i would be getting my first few choice. But as you all know, life is full of "surprises".
Apparently, this is a reputable company and they have expanded to Australia. The location of this company where i will be working is really near my home. So i can get up late, get home early... haha basically more time for myself rather then spending the time stoning in the bus.
However, the job scope requires me to do sales. Sales of Internet Service Providers (ISP). Also, i will have to be able to set up a network using Broadband solution. I am TOTALLY CLUELESS on what this is all about. Argh... i have NO IDEA what am i going to do! I know i can cope with the sales with alittle reading and understanding here and there. But the technical part is gonna be a huge hurdle for me. I'm gonna need a whole lot of encouragement and support. Not forgetting hours of reading up to prepare myself for the worst senario.
Also, there won't be any other ITP students working with me. So i will be having my lunch all alone. That totally suxs. Lonely hours with no one to talk to and laugh with? Oh man... i mean i cannot live a day without a companion to chit chat and eat with me!! *sobs*
So i am gonna pray for a good boss and nice colleagues who will ask me out for lunch. Pray that i more alert then my usual blur blur self. I also will be needing lots of wisdom and be able to grasp things real fast. If i do well for my ITP then it'll be easy for me to work for another company in a similar industry like Singtel, Starhub or even Samsung.
Things could work out for the best or for the worst. Feel free to drop me a line or give me some sound advice... signing off! Linda

What a BlundeR... *sob*sob*
Something not so glamourous happened last week. I have been vigourously putting all my heart and soul into the project and naturally i would have expected good marks for the effort i had put in. However... this was not so. My group was awarded marks much lower than i had ever expected... i felt so sore about it. After that my classmates of 12 and myself set off to Chinatown to celebrate the mooncake festival. Although i was in no mood to enjoy the occasion, i decided that it would be much better compared to sulking alone at home.
I stood at the MRT, bitter and disappointed. I blamed no one but the teacher, whom i felt didn't know how to appreciate a good piece of work. I grumbled to my friends about how unjustifiable it was for the teacher to give such miserable marks and yet claim that he is lenient and all. I was upset and said things like "He thinks he's such a good teacher but he's not! Ask him to go back to ITE and teach lah!... etc." This went on until we alighted at one of the stops to switch to the another lane.
I scampered my way out of the MRT when i heard my friend calling me from behind. I turned and to my horror i saw my teacher standing closely behind me!!!!! I was stunned and shocked. I froze in absolute fear.. did he hear what i said? Where did he appear from? I gave my friend a blank look. Oh dear... boy am i in BIG trouble. But after awhile, i felt sort of justified about what i said. After all, i still think i don't deserve that pathetic marks.
The next lesson i had with him was sort of awkward. I could tell that he wasn't very happy and i felt really uneasy. When our eyes met, his eyes would dart away... as though i was like a thorn. I prayed about it and i admit that whatever i said that day was harsh and it was out of disappointment. I realised where i had gone wrong and perhaps i do deserve the marks given. It's all a learning experience. I should take it in a positive light and pick up where i left off.
After a week has passed, he finally spoke to me in a pleasent manner (today!!). I asked him a few questions about some information i was unclear on and he explained patiently and clearly. Yup... that was a real blunder but i'm glad that it's over. Hopefully he doesn't put it to heart about all i said that day...
