Job and Love

I wonder if this entry gonna be a long one. Well lets hope it isnt.

About Job

The above pics were taken during the farewell dinner my colleagues have organised for me. It has been almost one week since i stopped working. The attachments to my job and colleagues have kinda died down... afterall, i was in CDGE for only 1 yr.

This morning, a hostel mate was telling me excitedly that he wud be going for a job interview this afternoon. He was so enthusiastic abt the job, and even asked me for a buffet dinner this evening, as a form of 'celebration'. However in the late aftn, he called me and sounded extremely disappointed. He complained that he has been 'conned' by this finance company to attend this so-called "Management Trainee" interview, which is actually recruiting Financial Planner. He has already previously clarified with the caller that he isnt interested in becoming a financial planner, but the caller assured him that it isnt. He has aspired to become a Finance analyst, but found out the company has tricked him into the recruitment session today.

Well, of cos i am not trying to shoot down ppl who are working as Financial Planners. In fact, i feel its a rather promising job if u r suitable and got the right apitude for it. Its all abt Recruitment Strategy, and this happens not jus only in Finance companies, but also in big engineering firms. Or shld i say, just as much as you try to 'bluff' or boast how good u r to your potential employers during interviews, they are also trying hard to sell how 'good' and 'promising' the jobs they have to offer u.

My fren is thus, v disappointed, and wanted to come to my house for a short stay. I wish to tell him that even though i have gotten a 2nd job pretty fast, I cant guarantee that this will definitely be a good job. Somehow, I am telling myself not to be too optimistic abt it.. i duno why.

Abt Love

Dun be mistakened, i am not in love, and i dun think i will in near future. But the issue of love seems to be bugging around.

I have 2 gal friends (they duno each other), with the same name initials, who gotten themselves in almost similar situations. Both of them have a guy friend each, who has recently fallen out in love with their galfriends of many yrs. As such, both my friends have played their part in consoling these poor and pitiful guys, but ended up these guys fall for my friends eventually. Sighz.. are human beings so fickle minded, and can shift their love attention around so easily. Sux man..

And there are also some extremely ridiculous happenings among my couple friends who are supposedly in 'love', but i shld say, in 'torture'. When the love has jus begun, both parties will treat each other like angels. They do not behave like themselves but behave wat the other party wishes/wants to see him/her as. But as the r/s develops further, both parties begin to behave as their true self, and their selfish horns start to grow. They become more demanding, and some parties even end themselves up perversely unknowingly.

I have some guy friends whose galfrens have really turned so unreasonable. For instance, this BS junior 's gf insisted that my friend sent her home, and refused to let him go back to his own home until the last bus timing. Another galfrien kicked a big fuss when her bf went ahead for a grp gathering after she decided not to go herself. Jus becos she isnt going, she has expected her bf NOT to go as well.. wtf. The surprising fact is that these galfrens knew they are at faults, but simply couldnt control themselves from such unreasonable behaviour. Seriously speaking, i dun really see it as solely the gals' faults... the guys ought to bear part of the responisbilities for spoiling their galfrens. .. .ar.. watever..

My entry is not to break up any exisiting couples, but perhaps as a reminder for all my friends who are in love, nv take ur partners for granted, and obliviously fall into a perverse mode like my friends above.
