Dilemma!
I need your suggestions/inputs/comments about something. I finally got a reply regarding my previous job interview. (wow the whole process took like almost 3mths). Its an application as a Process technician for Shell. But the opening was also for Seraya Chemicals (owned by Shell but not on Pulau Bukom). (I told some of you about this). I have been waiting and checking my mailbox these past few days for the rejection letter... bcos they said they're going to call up if you succeed in about 2 weeks, or send out a letter if you dont. But its been 4 weeks, so what do you expect right?
So last night, while napping, someone called me at 9pm. (work from home, rajin). I got shortlisted for Seraya and if I still want it I'm suppose to go for some medical checkup. Pay quoted is slightly lowered because I'm fresh. =P But pay aside, its a 12-hours shift. Meaning 8-8-8.. and its at Jurong Island. Meaning I'll have to be at Jurong East MRT at 7am. Imagine if I finish at 8pm, I reach home around 930pm. Sleep at 12midnight, wake up at 4am... I'm just afraid my life will get haywired, it already is. Mcm tak sempat nak kemas bilik (ke mmg me malas :p) or its just not in order.. bcos of the time occupied by work.
Its a physical job, Ok I don't really know the job scope but its going to be something like open/close valve, assist in maintaining and operating the plant. Breathing in oil vapour contantly.. =P God knows what is going to be in my body someday. Health risk is DEFINITELY there. Meletup ke. Terbakar ke. Korang miss aku tak nanti?
Sure yes, its what I studied, partially. Because this type of job is more for Chemical Engineering students who are more plant-based while mine is Lab-based. And eventhough Lab may be more routine but I am more interested in that because its doing testing on samples. And this is definitely not testing unless if have to.
Training will be provided and if I say yes, it begins on the 17th of April. First, I must pass the medical check-up. And of course, like any other training I have to pass their tests and its not simple. Will I be able to do it?
What's troubling now is because I'm working temporarily at a Bank. (those who know pls dont mention it here). Less physical but mentally challenging (customers..). I enjoy working there because of the people there who are friendly and nice (except for some of the managers). But like someone mention, people come and go.. And I feel insecure because I'm only a temp! It definitely is neither stable nor safe. But I like being in the customer service line (an interest which I just begin to have after 7-11).
But anyway ... what do you guys have to say about this? Would you say yes and go for Shell and no, wait, take the risk and stay at where I am? Oh I also hope it won't be like gender-based cos u know.. bukan keje utk pompuan gitu. Try not to think it as that way Ok? I understand if you do, but just try to put it aside. I did.
Ok crite panjang nah, sorry korang! I just need to voice this out, especially to my friends. =) Hope you'll understand.
P.S: No one comments on my page so .. well I just pasted it from another blog that I posted it to. But if anyone ever who bloghops and come across this and wants to comment, is more than welcome to do so. =)

I can no longer believe my spending capabilities.
Yes, I am went shopping again today ... at Topshop. So let's see:
i) Topshop x2
ii)50 empty DVD roms
iii) Lush:Uno and Closer Music CDs
iv) Coffeebean + Starbucks
v) Long John Silver x3
And I plan to cut my hair by this week I hope. I foresee more to come.
Its scary.. I still need to live for another 3 more weeks with whatever I have left. (which isn't a lot).
Oh, and did you know? I couldn't stand it anymore that I cut 15cm of my hair off?? And its slanted.. hahahaha. Accidentally! So I really do need that hair cut. Trying Reds, since its near me.
Review of Lush:Uno.
For those of you Lush lovers, this is a definite must have. Dance-Chillout, great beats with great grooves. The song may be from different mixes but there are similar to each other. Which might get common after a while, but still, good to listen if you just want to relax. So be in a dim-lighted room and turn up the volume!
Favourite track: Black Mighty Wax - Dreaming a Dream.
I give 4 out of 5 stars.

I can't freaking believe it!
I BOUGHT A CD !!! Yeah you might go, so what? But I don't frequently buy CDs, especially not local ones.
Actually, my mum and I went into Gramophone and Parkway Parade (its a sin to open there). Mum kinda got interested on a cd. So I thought, hey why don't I get her one. So yeah... while we were debating over whether she would like that one, or another. I feel like I should get one TOO! So I looked around... and remembered Lush. So tested it out, hmm so far so good. Ok, that's it. I bought it!!!
Presenting, my new beloved CD, LUSH:UNO.
I'm so going to listen to it at work.
Review coming up.

Bedazzled.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually like that movie. The message that they were trying to convey and the covnersation they had towards the end of the movie.. I don't know, don't ask me why but it just made me smile. Maybe due to the reality and realness of it.
I feel like buying the vcd/dvd.
Its not the greatest movie, its not really that good either but I just like it.
