At least there&#8217;s some hope of landing a job. In fact, I did get a job offer for the position of a Conference Executive but I think I&#8217;m going to pass on it &#8216;cos it isn&#8217;t really my thing.<br \/>\nThe job requires me to organise science and technology seminars which, for those who know me, really isn&#8217;t my area of interest. Anyways, I&#8217;m waiting to hear from other jobs which I&#8217;ll much rather take on, so I&#8217;m taking a calculated risk. I just have to think positive and hope for the best!<br \/>\nOn Thur morning, I went for a writing test at a publishing firm. I had applied for a job there and all potential employees who apply for a job which has some writing involved will have to sit for this test. Anyway, it felt like I was sitting for my &#8216;A&#8217; level English exam. It was a 2.5 hour paper. I had to write an essay, edit an article, and rewrite a press release. Pretty demanding. If I do well enough in the test, I&#8217;ll be called for an interview. Ah well, now I&#8217;ll just wait and see how it goes.<br \/>\nAnd on a separate note, I received a piece of news today which made me extremely happy! And I haven&#8217;t been so happy in such a long time! Chungking and UrbanNomad are coming for a 3-day visit in two weeks&#8217; time! I&#8217;m ectastic! Delirious!!!!<br \/>\n*squeals in delight*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been going for a couple of interviews these past few days &#8211; it&#8217;s better than sitting around at home.
