Wah, I so long didn't post already meh? I nearly forget my password. Okay, this is to update my friends and families far far away.
Been busy of late, due to ever growing frustration with the same-old same-old, jobhunting. Market doesn't favour the recent graduates, more so in Australia than in Malaysia, even more so for Internationals in Australia. I just knew I couldn't stick to those online applications and the occasional company visits. It just doesn't cut it anymore as things have been stagnant for awhile.
If you guys haven't already know, I took up a career consultant in the form of GradSolutions, who specialises with helping International Students like me obtain a desirable job. I see this as a chance to renew my aggression in my barely litting fire. I cannot afford to see my flickering light go off. I wanna have big big fire, like the bushfire, not like a joss-stick! But deep down, I see this as a last resort because I've been wandering around too long that I wake up everyday thinking of my road of life.
Well as of late things have been better, I'm currently working on two jobs. One at the same restaurant and one as a marketing consultant in GradSolution itself. Yes you may wonder why I took up the marketing job as it seems skeptical at first, like wasting my time with a part time or maybe even subscribing for help only to help them with promotional activities. But I see this as a chance to build up my people-skills and to boost my resume further, not to mention I'm paid based on KPI (Key Performance Index) too. It is a new challenge to me as well as I have no marketing background whatsoever.
Okay, why two jobs then? Because the restaurant job offers a safe-rate and the marketing one tends to fluctuate. On graph, its like drawing a straight line in the middle of a zig-zag. And also the marketing one being flexible, I have extra time to earn some pocket money as well. Six-days work a week, that is how hard I wanna push myself to reach my goal. I have to, I need to and I will. Hopefully there will be positive news by the end of September, which coincides with my house rental contract termination.
Beyond that, I cannot say much. But I am going to set out and achieve what I came for.

"barely litting fire" made me lol :)
You steal angmoh moneyz but spend in angmoh country, net net is zero laaa. Fission mail >:|
I loled at the bonfire/josstick, but yeah it nicely sums up your rage and motivation, I can feel the fire's heat from here.
Looking at how things are going, everyone seems to have ran back to Msia upon meeting the 1st signs of failure. Youre persistant despite the long road of "Fail", and I have to say you inspire me also.
From today onwards I will place my decision to stay in Australia and work more towards going elsewhere. So if youre in the shits, i'll be there in the shits with you also. Besides, its a nice challenge.
(also hearing my friend freshgrad with no contacts getting 1.8k a month is abit of a deterrence to go back also :P )
And P/S: hope your employer who is ultra-nationalistic dont see your blog post, the last bit, later they deport you lol. all the best friend! and godspeed
