I’ve returned to my club training ever since the exam ended. Training is always fun with familiar faces around. This time, I have chosen to play for the second team instead for the first team. Although the teams are not going to be as strong as those I have met previously, I will still play my very best when I’m on court. I’m not going to let any form of complacency set in. Being apart from the usual teammates makes me feel a little weird at times. Usually when I’m in some kind of “trouble” on court or when things don’t work out as well, that is always Jin quan who I can depend on. But this time, all I have is myself. Perhaps my trust to this team is not there yet. The feeling that “I’m the more senior player” feeling is always there and I just feel that the rest are dependent on me this time. Yucks.. I hate that feeling. Just a couple more weeks before the league starts, so I just hope that everyone can be there for training. By then, everyone should be well prepared for the competition, be it fitness, individual skill, teamwork and mindset.

I’ve met up with the uni pals twice during this holiday as well. First is the mahjong session at Shawn place then is the dinner cum night activity. The dinner was great at Shokudo @ Raffles City Shopping Centre. The whole environment was quite good but I think they should have a better choice in terms of the music played for it doesn’t really fit in. Overall the food was okie, but I supposed it’s usually the company that is the most important. My poor boy hasn’t gotten the chance to visit the place and while we were enjoying ourselves that night, he was there in Ubin, suffering. Here are some of the photos we took that night.

After dinner, we went to the MindCafe @ Boat Quay. It was my first visit there and I was quite surprised by the store of board games they had. Frankly speaking, I wasn’t the kind of people who enjoy board games but I had real fun that night. There were many games that I haven played or rather seen before. Some of the games we played include Ugly Dolls, BONES!!, the concentration game( this has nth to do with any of the board games there), the reflex and the animal sounding games ( both I named it myself cos I have forgotten their actually names). Here are some of the photos we took that night.

Enough of the fun, then it is the job hunting again. Recuitexpress is always the agency that we go to although seriously I don’t think the pay is good. Oh well, at least there is some effort made by me to go around and look for a job. After all the troubles about the waste company issue and offending one of the recruitment consultants, I have landed in a job as a recruitment consultant in Recruitexpress in the Healthcare divison. Hah.. So that made me a colleague with ehem. The interview as a consultant was rather weird as I recount. The first question has already left me dumb-founded. “What are the objectives of finding a job right now for you??” I wasn’t expecting this kind of question so I told her plainly that I haven really thought of that. Then she started telling me her objectives when she was my age then. This provided me with a little clue as in what I have to say. Then I told her it wasn’t really for the money since I do have tuition assignment on hand so it was more of like to keep me occupied. I supposed this answer resulted in my “rather pathetic” pay. “What are the 3 words that your friends often described you?” So I thought to myself, my friends always say that I’m talkative, I’m loud, I don’t have a image for I’m always wearing what I call the relax attire to school. There is no way I’m going to tell that consultant this. But for the 3 words that I said, heex.. confidential. “What are the 3 words you used to describe yourself” sorry, confidential again. Then I was being told to do a personality test (D.I.S.C) and they will base on that to determine if I’m suitable for the job. So it turned out that I have the D character in me. More about the personality test in the next blog entry. Right now, all I hope is that this job will turn out to be fine. Challenging and competitive it may be, just wish that I'm up to this challenge.
