Chinese New Year at Sentosa!

My day started off with an interview that was a total waste of my time. I applied for the job as a corporate communications executive not long ago, and was quite glad when i received a call to go for an interview. The first time round, the lady called me to arrange for an interview, and she followed up by msging the details of the interview, saying it was to be held at M hotel. One day before, she msged to say she needs to postpone the date for some reasons. When she msg me to postpone the date, i was kinda suspicious of the position. Like which company can be so 'flexible' in changing interview times like that. Therefore, i asked is this a sales job? She replied, 'oh you have to dabble in A BIT of sales, i will tell you more during the interview'. So i went, and when i almost reached M hotel, i received another msg from her, 'my event has ended at M hotel, could you please proceed to the Fuji Xerox building instead'. From there i knew it was insurance! I have nothing against insurance agents but i don't want to work in this line, and i felt that she 'cheated' me with the position of corp comms just to make me go down. The moment i knew it was insurance i felt that it was a total waste of time i went down because i really am not suited for this job. Wasted petrol, parking fees, and most importantly sleeping time. I realise more and more of this type of things are happening, like using bogus position names to lure people down for interviews when ultimately, they are just looking for financial planners. Names like client relationship executive, management trainee, customer service executive are used, and now there is something new, corporate comms! Why can't they just be honest and say they are looking for financial planners, and really attract the correct people that are truely interested in this line and not waste people's time by misleading them into thinking they are going for an interview for a position that they are interested in. And why say M hotel first then on that day itself change it to the fuji xerox building? Seriously full of crap. Anyways, the second part of the day did cheer me up.

After the interview, Susan and me proceeded to Suntec City for lunch, and we had dim sum........in the food court! Haha, you can get good food without having to spend too much money too ; )

After lunch, the 2 of us were too full, so we just did window shopping and walked around to digest our food. I went into charles and keith and saw the shoe that i have been looking for quite some time. Many outlets just didn't have my size, and the branch there didn't too. So the kind staff helped me enquire at other branches and walah! They had one at Vivo, i was so happy! And since we were going to Vivo, Susan and I decided to go to Sentosa to 'play'. Sentosa was not the usual Sentosa, there were lots of tourist this time round! Think it's because now is the CNY period thus resulting in the large amount of tourist. In a way it was a good thing because it created the holiday feel and just made the atmosphere more lively.

I wanted to go and try the LUGE, you know take the cable car like thing up and glide down on this manual go kart thing and i was quite scared when i was on that thing going up. It was so high up, and the cable car like thing was so flimsy, totally freaky man. But the view and wind was good, great experience i must say.

Afraid of rides, but not afraid of heights

Look how easy is it to fall out of that thing!

On ground and proceeding for our ride

All geared up and ready to go!

After the ride we went to Palawan beach to look for the rocky bridge and that very nice look resort look alike house for some photo taking session since we had time to spare before we go for dinner. It feels good to just walk around in the open and enjoying the surroundings and serenity, something that we won't get to do often if we start working (provided that we can find a job).

Crossing the rocky bridge

The walk back and forth make us start to feel hungry, and we went to a cafe by the beach which Susan assures is nice for dinner. And yes, i think its nice too with reasonable pricing.

Fish and Chips, BBQ Pork Ribs

I really enjoyed my day, and its been a while since i went to Sentosa as a 'tourist' to play since stupid leb always never wants to walk around with me haha. It feels healthier too to be walking around instead of always sitting down to eat and drink. I want to do this again!
