you know, i'm actually thinking more about the hanoi trip more than the 2 interviews that i'm gonna have today, the exam this thur and the biz challenge this friday.... LOL
can't wait to do more amigurumis either... i have a half completed bear's head that i was rushing... and i can't finish it without unpicking quite a number of rows... because in my hurry, i didn't bother to count and now it has the wrong number of stitches in a row when i count them.. -.-
anyway i think i'll probably do another facelift on my blog after i come back from hanoi... it's about 5 years old and getting saggy :] will update the to-do list on the side panel as well
to do list
- baking lessons (bread)
- learn a few easy piano songs
- learn more different stitches
- adobe illustrator lessons
- learn how to cook a few more dishes from mum
- ball room dancing
- taiji lessons??? but i don't want to do this alone :X
- acrylic painting lessons
sounds like i'm a little too ambitious eh... but why not?
anyway i reckon i can't do all of them... coz there may not be such classes available (e.g. acrylic painting) never tried searching for one... and i'm not sure if i can dance with abbie either... given our size differences...
yep...
it's times like this that i feel that time really flies... counting down is no longer necessary so i guess i will just stop doing that... haha
i just got my first job offer today and i think i'll probably reject it... 2 year contract with not very ideal pay... it's slightly better than the 2k that the "lousy graduate training program" has to offer... but imho it's about just as bad.. learning opportunities are plenty though, i'm still chewing on it though i'll probably reject it in the end...
abbie's really against it... all he ever talks about the 2nd upper thing... and how he (who does not have ideal results is earning so much more)... i know he has my interest at heart...but honestly man, i don't know i am that lucky? or whether i can ask for that much? seriously, how many private sector jobs out there can offer me the 2.8-3k that he is talking about... i haven't been applying to public sector because they're all contract based... maybe i should really start looking at those...
or maybe i should just take over his job... -_- and then he goes into the shit that i'm not qualified (again).....
but anyway, i guess i'm someone who would settle for pretty much anything in life (talking about the kinds of job and men that i'd settle for... i think i got this lousy mindset from my mum) of course i do have something "ideal" in mind and i would hope (away in a corner) for the ideal career/man to pop by... and yet i would end up very likely settling for any guy that just happened to like me or at least try liking them... rationale: as long as the job puts food on the table and that the man that likes me is responsible, it's good enough...
still in retrospect, i would say that i'm pretty lucky the 2nd man to come by in my life is abbie... haha... it's akin to asking for silver and getting blood and sweat in return
(in case you don't know....here's the value scale: bronze, silver, gold, diamond, blood and sweat)
there's only 5 things in life which i'm looking for...
1. the perfect man for me, which i have already gotten (by a rare stroke of luck and without looking very hard...)
2. currently looking for the perfect job... which i have no idea where to look... but you can say that i'm looking :)
3. this is followed by the achievements that i get doing my perfect job...
4. a nice nuclear family
5. good health (trying hard not to skip the weekly gym sessions which are already in place)
yesterday was the last day of school... haha don't feel like last day of school at all... our cultural teacher made us sing many songs from different countries yesterday... i realized i can't sing thai songs at all... like dunno wth's going on...
we ended the class with auld lang syne (from scotland by the way)... haha, so fitting for my last day of school here :) held a random cute guy's hand... not as cute as abbie, of course :]
gonna go out soon... job hunting is such a pain... hopefully this pain is temporary...
when i start working i think i want to blow my money on some stuff
top of the list would (strangely) be
- adobe illustrator and related classes... dying to do some vector art :], will skip the adobe photoshop, which doesn't seem to do much in my area of interest...
- news magazines... somehow, my brain just dies when it sees the news...
- more clothes
- baking classes
- maybe i could check out tai-chi as well? LOL yesterday my teacher showed us some really cool moves...
- thinking more about what i want to do in the distant future -_-
gonna revise my viet tomorrow... not sure if it's of much use... but just gonna do it anyway...
