ANGST

So I am quite content with how the iPhone5 is treating me so far. But one thing I am really not happy with is with M1.

Mind you I am not one who constantly complains about what other people can do for me. But for this, I am really starting to get hopping mad. 

Firstly, as you all know, I have an iPad plan (together with the BB main line but BB is totally out of the equation since it is under a totally different data plan from Apple stuffs) and recently this new mobile line for the iPhone.

As you all know all the Singapore telecos have slashed their data bundles and now from 12GB, they will only be providing 3GB (in my case since I opted for the $59.90 plan) of data.

Being a moderate (good luck to heavy) Instagram users, and I am not even gonna touch YOUTUBE because video streaming will KILL YOU, I am most definitely going to exceed that bloody 3GB! 

So you're thinking, "aiya so angry for what you're not the only one who is subjected to this.."

I AM FUCKING PAYING 3 FUCKING MOBILE LINES WITH YOU M1. AND I HAVE BEEN YOUR CUSTOMER SINCE 2007 DON'T I GET ANY EXCEPTION? 

I am not asking you for free GBs on my iPhone plan. Now all I am asking is whether I can get a nano SIM for my iPad plan to use simultaneously with the iPhone5 when my 3GB is depleting.

The answer I got, "No mam..."

And I asked for the rationale behind it, she said "entirely different plans..."

ERM, WHAT THE FUCK?

Am I asking for the fucking stars here MAM?

No. 

I don't get why it can be done for the iPhone, like I can split the SIM for the iPhone and use on the iPad but I can't do it vice versa.

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE.

Damn angry ok. You think about it la. I am paying for all 3 lines. Now you have this EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS "RULE" implemented and I have to pay extra S$5.35/GB exceeded on a line that I am already paying S$59.90/month when I have a S$40.00/month plan sitting at home with 10GB worth of data just sleeping. 

HOW? YOU TELL ME HOW!

Fuck you M1.

IPHONE5

musings; 24092012

Do you ever feel like you're wasting your life away? Doing things that you don't love. Feeling like there's so much more you could do, yet you're here.  

I want to stop procrastinating.

From today onwards, I am going to reorganise my room because clutter promotes procrastination. 

Stop being lazy and start editing my videos; start organising my week, start exercising regularly. 

Start living.

SIA interview (ii)

I think alot of you guys gonna try out for SIA interview this Saturday hur? :) Hehe I know cause today sudden spike in people searching for "jolenequek sia interview"!

Best of luck my friends, I decided not to try anymore. There is only so much rejection one can take. Shall find other ways to make my life more fulfilling :D

Tips for SIA interview:

Mass Introduction

• Make your introduction short, sweet and simple yet something that stands out. Try to include something like you enjoy working out or doing yoga (because that shows you take pride in looking good and staying healthy; which company wants to hire someone who doesn't know how to take care of themselves right); or you enjoy team sports (shows 2 points, take care of yourself AND you appreciate the importance of working as a team); maybe you could try something like "Good morning/afternoon sirs, my name is XXX. I just graduated from XXX and I would like to share my personal motto with you; One can never be overdressed or overeducated........." See its something different from what other people would usually say right? Other people would usually say "I enjoy serving people blahblahblah..." BORING. I used that motto for the previous interview in August and got through. But if you wanna use a motto, make sure it makes sense in the interview please. Hope you get what I mean.
• Don't go on and on and on. Best if you can keep it within a minute. BUT MAKE THAT ONE MINUTE COUNT. Imagine you keep it within a minute but what you said was bahhh~ The interviewers won't remember you. If you have relatives working in SIA, PLEASE don't purposely put it in because you think it might help to pull strings. NOPE. Some guy did that and got kicked out because he sounds so threatening and what are you trying to imply? 
• Questions wise, like all other advices, make your answer be unique. Be humorous! It definitely works if you can get people to laugh :) Let me give you an example; There was one interview the question was, "Share with the group one interesting piece of news or basically anything you wish to share". Everybody talked about the GE2011 and soccer news. When it came to my turn, I shared with the group about an advertisement I saw on the train. Not sure if you guys recalled Aberdeen had this range of ads on the MRT that said, DID YOU KNOW... and one of it was DID YOU KNOW that a cockroach could live 2 weeks without its head? And I remembered asking le boyfr about it when I saw it and he told me that its true and the only reason why they would die after 2 weeks is because they starve to death. So I shared with them that tidbit of information. I thought it was quite interesting and different from what the rest said. And I got in. So think out of the box. 

Height Check

• If you're 158cm to 160cm, please take note of the height measurement apparatus. Stretch as much as possible because the apparatus they use is inaccurate and if you're within 158cm to 160cm, the apparatus will discount you that few cms and you will fail height check!! I failed before even though I am 160cm, and totally left the interview in disbelief. So yep!

Skin Check

• Make sure your face no blemishes okay? Don't be like me. Any light scarrings on your arms and face and neck, try your best to conceal, but don't cake it. Caking it only makes it more obvious. Make up, keep it to the minimal. Look polished, not like you're going to party. Nails, trimmed and clean, no chipped polish. Make friendly chit chat with the checker, it doesn't hurt to be friendly. :) And SMILE. Smiling is SUPER DUPER important. Can't stress this enough. There was one checker who failed this girl with nice complexion because thoughout skincheck she was like this :| 

One to One

• Think of how you want to introduce yourself. Because the questions the interviewer asks you are generally derived from what you tell them initially. Like if you say, "I enjoy working with people as now I am in a service industry and I feel very happy to serve them." The interviewer is most likely gonna ask you questions like "what do you deem as a good service? What do you deem as bad service? What are the fundamentals of good service?" See where I am coming from? So if you're not sure about those questions I just posed to you (basically if you're not sure of something, don't say it. You're just digging your own grave.), make sure you're prepared with what you want to say and think of possible questions they might ask you and how you would answer them. For situational questions, just make sure you think of the most politically correct answer. But also, put yourself in the shoes of the passengers. Then work from there.

Management round onwards, I can't help you all already. Sorry hehe. But hopefully I shared with you guys tips that would help you on the 22nd! :))) Any questions can leave it on my DISQUS box below, or formspring me. If I can't attain this shortlived dream, I hope I can help yall to attain yours :) 

Lotsa luck!

Oooh ooh! My friend just reminded me, JAL is recruiting too! :D So if you're interested, click!

The Hours

One more ear worm for now; Beach House, pretty sure I am the last one to realise how fab they are. 

Hope your Monday has treated you well, have a happy Tuesday tomorrow!

X.

Frightened eyes, looking back at me. Change your mind, don't care about me.

Wandering Star

There is so many fantastic bands out there, waiting for us to uncover them. Just found one gem of a song last night when I watched the TOPSHOP SS13 show on youtube. Listening to it makes me wanna rent a dingy motel room with flickering neon lights outside, laying on the bed with an oversized white tee, smoking a cigg. 

Enjoy.

/edit.

Was reading flowerpod on career in Banking and chanced upon this person's quote on (the defence) of CPF with regards to the usual thrash talk most Singaporeans have on CPF.

"If CPF is that bad, would you prefer the pension scheme of Aus? You don't have control over your monies as well, you put it in a superannuation fund, leaving it up to fund managers to manage your money. And your pension monies may even end in a loss without capital protection; very much different from your CPF since they're capital guaranteed with interest(assuming you leave it there without losing money on CPFIS investments yourself).

How about paying up to income tax of up to 45% of your annual income? Then you can "happily" contribute to the bums on the streets who claim unemployment benefits.

With regards to disagreeing with the Govt over something you don't like... Just look at Greece. Disagreeing with austerity measures... simply for their own sake of having money on their table; but without austerity, their economy will crumble which would ultimately affect their jobs. The thing is, many commoners tend to be narrow minded imbeciles who are unable to see the big picture and consequences. 

I don't quite get what you're trying to say... But since you're complaining, I guess you're saying that YOU want to work in our neighbouring countries like Malaysia/Indo/Thailand etc since it's better there?

Lastly, I guess we should just adopt a closed door policy. No foreign talents, no foreign investments either. GS, CS, JPM, DB, BarCap etc please pack your offices and send your management team & staff back home. Singapore doesn't welcome you."

Strawberry fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed. 

Misunderstanding all you see.

Its getting hard to be someone, 

But it all works out.

Nothing matters much to me.

Let me take you down,

Strawberry Fields.

Nothing is real.

Nothing to get hung about.

Strawberry fields forever.
