walk a mile
Posted 30 Oct 2009 // 10:13 pm
hey all. i almost didnt realise it was Friday today. it has been a really fast week. pay cheque's out. that marks another start to a new month. it was never different, i am always oh-so-tight in cash.
remember the interview i post about. i had it on thursday morning. i was all anxious. the office was pleasant. i waited for almost to an hour. yet my interview lasted barely 15mins?
interviewers: "Hi dewi. first up..tell us more about yourself?"
me: "oh sure. ok..im a cheerful and outspoken person. i love engaging into conservations even with people whom i just met. i classified myself as a determine individual too who believes in making little steps to achieve big goals...blah..blah..blah.."
(i introduce myself for about 5mins.they listen attentively & once im done..)
interviewers:"oh, that is a very good introduction. short, straight and with great confidence". but dewi, but just 1 question, why would such a confident person like you be interested for such a position?"
me: "i have been working in the admin line for years. i would like to grow my career by going into and learning the different aspects of business. what attracted me most with regards to the position was the list of jobscope. it is very interesting. i find it challenging."
interviewers: "i see..dewi, we think you are just OVER qualified. (what??) you present yourself so well that we are speechless. we appreciate your presence here. we suggest you to apply for a more serious and higher level role that fits your capability and certification."
me: "oh ok. i understand. thanks for the opportunity. nice to meet you".
(as soon as i step out of the board room. i chuckled. was i dreamin?)
NOT.
i didnt feel bad about it; totally not. it actually helps me to grade myself. after so long, this interview really made me realise how ive grown into. im happy.
my tummy growl in hunger. i thot of LJS. its been so long since i had breakfast there. i was from Newton so it was kind of near to town. the best LJS location is Dhoby Ghaut. so i made my way there.
i admit i am actually on diet. i cut down my food intake to almost half the amount i used to garb. hees. most important, i cut down intake of rice. i eat lots of fruits. i take the chance to walk most of the time. even as far from one mrt station to another. i am so used to it, i dont feel the pain. i walk up the stairs to my office every single day,without fail. my office is located at the 3rd storey but the flight of stairs is so steep that by the time you reach the 3rd storey, your heart pounds as if you have just climb a 5 storey flight of a normal HDB block. pheww! i use to stay on a 6th floor of my previous home. i get scared at times to take the lifts with strangers, so walking up the stairs is an alternative way i could still get home.
guess what i did? i alight at Somerset and i walk all the way to Dhoby ghaut MRT station. i pass by Centrepoint, then i pass the building opp 'The Central'..i pass by Intercontinental Hotel..then the 'Istana'..follow by 'Plaza Singapura'..i then cross over another small road. and finally, LJS! mind you, i was in HEELS.
*giggles*
i really sweat. but it was worth the walk. i feel good. furthermore, if you really know me, you will realise that i walk really fast. my normal speed is very, VERY fast. try me? hees.
i sat & had my breakfast. flipping through the papers to past my time. it is really a good feeling to be out in the early morning when everyone else seems to be in the office. just a nice 'holiday' kinda feeling. you just feel differenf for a moment. JUST a moment. heh.
soon, it was time to report to work. i make my way to Lavender. know what? time to walk again.
i am so-lovin-it!
a week ago i was 65kg. today, 64kg. 1kg? glad! =))
i do not want to be model skinny neither obese. body like Kate Winslet & Scarlet Johansson are my ideal figures.
6 months down the road. we'll see..
