The amazing things that happened...And the bad.

First up...
It's amazing how my dogs grew up to be such beautiful darlings...
It's amazing to know how long they sleep everyday...
It's amazing to see their faces right in front of you when you wake up...
It's amazing how they managed to grow right into our hearts and be there forever...

I was just looking at their photos that I took in the past and realise that they look so much better now, expecially Twinkle darling...Of course, Elmo looks good too.

Next up...
It's amazing to think about all the people that has an impact on everyone's life.
Off the top of my head, the late Miss Ashidah.
Then,Mdm Chan, Mr Gan, Mrs Ngoh and friends who have made me what I am today.
Of course, my family too.

Thirdly...
It's amazing to see the big difference in quality of pictures between a DSLR and a compact camera.
Hahaha...

And for the amazingly bad things that happened.

I know many people heard this before, but I am going to mention it on my blog again.
SO, there was this career fair in NTU last Wednesday and Thursday. And I went on both days.

On Thurs, I went there early. So this big 'CLAM' Tankers, situated right at the entrance of the exhibition hall of the Auditorium,had a few people. Seeing that it might offer some jobs related to my studies, Eric and me decided to go and ask about the career opportunities.
We were told that they only positions in the commercial side and not the technical (apparently people thinks Maritime Studies are technical...hehe, I would think so too if I am not in the course.)So,she gave us a notebook and told us to go to the website to look for new technical positions that might be posted up in the future.
Okie, I took the book and we left.
At the other end of the booth(same 'CLAM' Tankers booth), there was this stand that had some brochures. Wanting to know more about the positions that they offer, I wet in to take the brochures. That's when this guy turned around and approached us and asked if there's anything he can do to help.
So I passed Eric the brochure that I took and he talked to the guy. I took another brochure(introducing the commercial positions) and when I reached out to take another brochure(introducing the technical positions), this fierce lady walked over and asked, "EXCUSE ME, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
And she snatched the brochure from my hands. I was like, DUHHH. What was I doing? I am taking your brochure OBVIOUSLY.
But I still answered her politely, I said I was trying to see what positions they have to offer.
Again, she asked," NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Double DUHHHHHHHHH...Come on, what is this girl thinking? That I am stealing your brochures?
I thought she meant what course I am doing,so I said," You see, I am taking a degree in Maritime Studies and I wanted to see what positions you have to offer."
"NO,we do not have any positions for Maritime Studies. Maybe you can go to this website to see for yourself." Then she handed me another notebook.
"It's okay, I already have that. I dont need it." Then I turned away. Seriously, I was 'boiling' lor. It's like WTF. Her attitude sucks man. WHAT AM I DOING AT A CAREER FAIR? To look for a job obviously. And what is she doing at a career fair when she scares off everyone with her riduculously rude attitude? What are the HR people thinking? 'CLAM' Tankers should really reconsider sending her to career fairs in the future.

Oh, after Eric finished talking to the guy, he passed me the brochure and I put it back on the stand. NOT AT ALL interested in 'CLAM' Tankers after this incident. Now, when I see their yellow logo, i get pissed off.

Why did they even want to put the brochures when you dont want people to take?
Anyway, she pissed me off so much that I decided to return the notebook that I took initially.

By the way, I was not the only one that got her bad attitude. Linda went to that booth too. She took the notebook for herself and when she reached out to take another book for her fren, the same attitude problem(AP) lady OIIIIIIII her.
Then her other fren went to ask what jobs they have for Electrical Engineering students, she said again, "WE DO NOT HAVE JOBS FOR YOU."
Alright, thanks for being frank.

I feel totally disgusted by her.

Phew, finally managed to get it out on my blog.
