Start of another month and things haven't changed...
It has been another month and I still have not found a job. This sucks worse than I had imagined. Hsu Ching hasn't come back with a reply despite my reminder to her. If this doesn't work out, I am so bloody screwed. My only consolation is that there are others like me. The thing is, we are all pretty well qualified and I suppose that is why we have been too picky for our own good. Those who did not fare very well have already landed jobs in banks (even though they do crap there). I don't actually know anyone who works in a bank because they want to work in a bank. It is always for the money or simply because it is the easiest way out. Me? I am still holding out for a truly good job. I know it has already been too long, but I don't want my first step to be in vain. Finding a job really isn't THAT difficult, but finding a good one is a matter of luck. As of now... I get a little more demoralised each day.
Commencement is in a week's time. I am not looking forward to the ceremony. Is there a point in doing all this? I guess it is all for the parents. There aren't many people that I like in school and I just don't want to see some of them, even for the last time. One thing that I do not like about being in business is that you get so many pretentious people who think socialising is their ticket to fame and riches. Worst yet are the sluts (not just the girls) who think that they are god's gift to the world. I guess I haven't been too popular because I am not one to put up with such stuff. To me, the only thing that matters is your work attitude. Success isn't a measure of the people you know; it is what you have in you.
In the mean time, I am still keeping myself occupied with swimming and jogging. My diet isn't really working, as usual. The weight loss has been minimal in the past weeks. But at least I feel fitter. I swam pretty well in the lifesaving competition over the weekend, although I only did a relay. As usual, TP stormed the pool with record breaking feats. I am proud of them. Strangely, I do not feel much older than them, even though I am a decade ahead of some. Perhaps I'm in denial.
