PRICELESS PRICELESS PRICELESS ! ! !

Hurray... I was offered the job in Coffey !!! After suffering for 6 days and nights, I couldnt stand it anymore and I called the manager this morning (Monday) to asked for the results of the interview. And I was told that "You'll be given an offer by the company"! Yeeha~~

I'm glad that I nailed the interview so successfully and didnt let this golden opportunity slip pass me. Have to thank everyone for their best wishes before and after the interview. I actually still cant quite believe that I get a job so soon, considering I was still grumbling with my lack of luck couple of weeks back and now my luck just changed so dramatically. And also have to thank the manager for giving me this opportunity, organising and sponsoring my flight up to Brisbane.

Air ticket: FOC (Paid by Coffey)








Taxi from / to airport in Brisbane: (Total: AUD$ 69.10)



Waiting for the answer: Suffering.

Getting the job: PRICELESS PRICELESS PRICELESS!!!

PRAYING...

I've just came back from the interview with Coffey in Brisbane. The whole process (plus the flight to/from Brisbane) took approximately 9 hours and everything went quite well. There are nothing else I can do other than...

NOT GONNA POST ANYTHING UNTIL I KNOW THE RESULT OF THE INTERVIEW.

A SIGN OF CHANGE OF LUCK!?

Believe it or not, I just got a call from Coffey a couple of minutes ago asking me to attend an interview!!! OMG!!! Coffey is one of the world leading Geotechnical Engineering consulting firm in the world and is long familiar with their special expertise in the field of geotechnics. I've been waiting for this call since April and now I'm given a chance. I have to be extremely well prepared for the interview I would definitely strive my hardest to get the job that I longed getting for.

Hope this is just first of the many calls that I gonna get. And I need to believe that more is yet to come!

Lesson learnt: Luck can just be changed overnight after writing a blog :p

GIVE ME THE LUCK THAT I NEED

I've been applying for numerous jobsssssss since a couple of months back. But unfortunately I didnt get ANY positive reply from any of the companies. And I'm loosing my patience and is getting increasingly frustrated with my lack of luck of getting an interview.

What I'm certain is there shouldnt be any problem with my application letter or my resume, as I've seeked advice from professionals and have modified it to as perfect as possible. Seems like I'm one of those 'unlucky people' and my CVs were all thrown into the bin without even read by the HR manager... zzz...

However, I wont give up and wont back down until I finally get a job. I'll most certainly nail it if I'm given an opportunity, just one will do. Really pray hard that I can get the luck I need and get a job as soon as possible. Otherwise, perhaps, I might need to look for other alternatives...

OH YEAH~~~

Oh yeah~~ I just got my result for my final semester this evening, and confirmed that I am now officially graduated! I would have to admit that I've been waiting for the results in agony for the last couple of weeks. It is just so hard not to think about it and I'm glad that it is all done now! What a big relief, not only for me but also for my parents who have been waiting more anxiously than me since I finished the last paper.

Most importantly, I am now graduated as a Civil Engineer :)

However, I am certain that what lies ahead are bigger challenges and tougher rides compared to what I have faced so far. Foremost I will have to get a job ASAP, either a permanent Civil Engineer job or a part time whatever job. Getting a permanent job is tough, especially in engineering field, as most of the companies are looking for graduans with more experience with PR or citizen status, and I only had a short 3 months stint working in a construction company as a trainee engineer yet I am still not a PR yet! Hope I can get the luck I need and get a job not long from now.

Really have to send my highiest gratitude to my parents and family who have been so supporting not only financially but in every other aspects throughout the 4.5 years of my time in Sydney University. And not to be forgotten all my friends, either here in Sydney or elsewhere in the world who have filled my life in wondrous colour all these years. Thank you all!

I'm now starting another phase of my life and I'm sure it'll be a challenging and interesting one. And my heart is pounding stronger and stronger as the day gone by, cause my family and my dearest Siew Yee is coming in 134 days to attend my convocation. HOHOHO!!!

I AM BACK!!!

Almost 2 years after I last post an entry I am back to this blog again!!!

I didnt know so much has changed since my last log in, and I cant even remember my password. Haha... have to go through all the troublesome hindrance to retrive my password. BTW.. this blog was initially abandoned because still not many people using blogspot 2 years back, and at that time only registered users are allowed to leave comment. So I left this blog and created another 2 blogs, one in friendster (freindster was booming that time) and another one in myspace (more user friendly at that time I supposed).

I just figured out the 'new' blogspot is so much more user friendly and convinient compared to last time. I still remember I had to go through all the procedures in the FAQ and change the html file of the layout just to add a link in my blog. Gosh~~ But now it is just 1 click away for anything. And since blog in friendster still doesnt have as much fucntion as blogspot, and the irritating friendster blog update that spammed my email everyday pissed me off (which I suppose many agree with me), I therefore abandon the friendster blog and migrate here. HEHE~

I basically change the whole out look of the blog and change my then profile photo to a more recently taken photo. Alike my blog in myspace, I have chosen blue as my theme colour as I feel more comfortable reading text in blue, although now I am typing in a dull whitish background z_z.

Gonna update the blog another time as I've spent more than 2 hours modifying the layout of this 'new' blog.
