Caiyun: New Updates

I haven't been writting my blog for ages as I have been so busy recently. Getting quite overwhelmed by projects and tests.

Some updates on what's happening in my life:

ONE I have added Facebook. It is very fun! I am so addicted to it now. I practically spend at least 30 min on it everyday.

TWO Job issue. So far I have gotten job offers from PWC as corporate tax associate and Bank of China as retail banking customer service officer. Both pay is in the $2k range. PWC pay offer is in the lower range while BOC's is in the higher range. I was actually hoping to get a job with at least $3k. Maybe I am demanding too much. Sobz... I am really confused about what I should do. In terms of job prospect, I would think that PWC is better than BOC but in terms of pay BOC would be better. There are a lot of issues to consider when deciding on a person first job. Maybe I should try to assess each company pros and cons.

Today, I went to PWC to get the job contract at 3 pm. There is a huge stack of papers for me to read through before committing. After getting the contract, I went to BOC to visit my ex-colleagues and bought them some cakes to eat. It is quite sad that my direct manager has already left the company. There is not much changes to department I used to work in except that there are 2 new staffs. The senior manager, Seline asked if I am interested to work in BOC. I seriously need to consider.

THREE There is no news from MOE. I went for primary teaching position interview about 2 weeks ago. It was a panel interview with 3 people. They told me that they will give me a reply by phone and letter within 15 days from the interview date but I haven't recieved anything yet. Hoepfully, I will get a reply soon.

FOUR Previously, Credit Suisse rejected me for my perm job application in Product Control but a few days later they sent me an email asking me to seat for stage 1 of the recruitment process. It will be a 3 hrs technical written exam next wed. Unfortunately, I have lesson on that day and I can't skip the class as I will be doing a presentation for that module. I emailed the HR but he said there is no other slots for the exam. Seem like no hope for Credit Suisse. Sobz....

FIVE 1 month after my job application, DBS replied me and asked me to proceed to the next stage which is online test. I have to do both verbal and math. I was too nervous and I don't think I did well for the online tests. There goes my chance. Btw, I applied for retail banking associate with DBS. (Something I really like)

So now I am in quite a confused state as I have no idea what to do. I am afraid of making wrong decision. I don't wanna regret later. Haiz....

SIX I got back 2 of my mid-term test results. For strategy, I got 13/15 (Above average - 11) and for Equity I got 82/100 (Below average - 83). I think I got to work very hard for my equity. SOb SOb. Everyone is sooo competitive. I don't know how to score for this module.

PS: Today, I met up with QiaoQin and Huiyue for dinner and shopping at Marina Square. It has been quite some times since I last catched up with them. We had a great time today. =)

Here are some pictures that we have taken:
