Devices World interview email

31 March 2008 at 6:38 pm (Interview)

Position: Java Developer
Company: Devices World Sdn Bhd
Date and Time: Monday, 7 Apr, 3:00pm
Venue: Suite 1-7, Menara KLH, Taman Puchong Jaya, Selangor
Person in charge: Ms Ping Ping

Okay, no time for a grief over the failure to get into IRIS. I received another interview invitation from Devices World, the company that produces iSCADA technology, or at least that’s what I read from their website. OK, so it’s something cool afterall. I guess I should try this out. But before that I have to polish my Java knowledge a bit now that it’s been well dusty.

But the company location can’t be reached by LRT or komuter. So it’s become my problem now. Maybe I can ask C.Nor to send me, I don’t know. But if I am going to this interview which is on Monday, I’ll also be going to the Jobstreet career fair in MidValley on Friday (and also Saturday and Sunday.. I can also berkampung there until I really get a job!). And perhaps I can call ACS to confirm my interview with them, which can be done in Thursday. And some more maybe I can call Dynafront Systems if they still have another interview session for me, as I couldn’t make it for today’s interview.

OK Ilyani, now we can proceed for the next job hunt. Good luck to me :-)

Bad fortune and me

31 March 2008 at 3:25 pm (Jobhunting, Life)

Half expected, IRIS replied my email with bad news. I am not qualified for the position I have been daydreaming for :( Though Ms Siti said they’ll keep my record for future references and opportunities, it seems no more than to cheer me up. This is sad. Why am I not qualified? Is it because I didn’t learn VB in UIA? Or I didnt get flashy amazing results? Or because I don’t have job experience? Or I haven’t prayed enough? Or it’s just my bad luck?

I don’t want to see it as a bad luck, but Mama and everyone keep mentioning this lately, now that they realize I don’t seem to get a job however many interviews I have gone, how much I have tried. Mama says, wake up early in the morning and you’ll be blessed with good fortune. Yes I have heard something like that too.

Oh please. I know I get up 12 at noon everyday or sometimes beyond that. But but but.. it’s been like this, no? I don’t have much to do so I just sleep. And plus I tend to stay up at night so. But why must the fortune be so cruel just because I don’t wake up early?? :~(

Then again, I don’t know. It may be too late now to wake up early just to gain back good fortune to work in IRIS. However, I should try from now on. Who knows it will work? I’ll wake up early starting tomorrow, yeah. (Today it was 11.30am, a bit improvement somehow)

Oh and I’m not even in the mood to come up with a subject title

30 March 2008 at 10:22 pm (Jobhunting, Life)

I feel as if it was only yesterday I was so optimist and positive about my life I was hoping so much I could get a job soon and promise to myself and God I will work hard and show everyone the real ilyani, who’s definitely not as useless (or jobless) as she may seem now. But today (or since yesterday? or when? I lost track already..) I feel down again, depressed like for everything. IRIS still hasn’t called, and I have to cancel 2 interviews for next week with Dynafront and ACS. As much as I can’t make a trip to KL now, I am so lazy to attend another interview as well. And I still can’t get Ado out of my mind since the last sms sessions.

Jobstreet is having career fair this weekend in MidValley. Lenya is going, at least she says that when I was chatting with her last night. I don’t know if I want to come. There’s always up and down mood even in jobhunting. And I guess for this particular moment it’s down.

Soup for lazy people

28 March 2008 at 10:10 pm (Food, Whatever)

sup

Everyone has gone for kenduri today so I had to have something for the night meal. I made this soup with oyster mushroom. Put one beef seasoning cube (Tesco brand, which I bought yesterday) into boiled water and a little salt. Done. A great 2 minute soup, especially when you’re not bothered to cook a proper meal. Ado used to make this same lazy soup, which we ate with Domino’s pizzas. Oh now I miss Domino’s, too bad we don’t have it here in KB.

Hmm. I know this looks like a clever excuse for me to talk about Ado. But no, really, I was meaning to talk about the soup. But okay, I also have a few things to write about Ado, apart from the soup I had with Ado.

It started last month actually but I didn’t want to talk about it earlier as I was too sad. I know he’s busy but he could have called me, so I wouldn’t waste my time waiting and hoping for nothing (hell I knew I shouldn’t, but still..) and how you feel if your 3 sms being ignored just like that?? I can’t even see him as a friend with that attitude, let alone a boyfriend. Bleh! My next boyfriend should be someone who’s not too busy and still have time to call me especially when I really need him to!

Hence my turn to ignore his sms last time, and 2 days ago he called me (I know he only bothers to call when he has a favor to ask – like phone software or something), which I ignored, too. Though I was actually dying to hear his voice, but wth, even I can have that ego. And I sent him short message telling him not to sms and call me again.

I know he doesn’t think I was serious when I said that, and last night we started this nice arguments when he started asking “Why? What happened? etc”.. Oh, so you’re surprised? I told everything I have been meaning to tell. OK, I know I shouldn’t expect him to be free on a particular day, but all I was upset about was for him not responding to my messages when I was urgently expecting! And I am not surprised when he never apologizes, rather tries his best to give so many clever reasons that somehow make it turns to look like I was the one who’s wrong afterall. Alright, alright, go and live with your reasons now. I no longer care. And I was positive that I don’t want to have a friend like him.

Geez, and he asks “is this the way you ‘break’ nicely?” and sounds like it’s my blame for the breakup that I wanted and now I am complaining this and that. Diss the breakup. I see nothing much difference before or after the so-called breakup. He’s still being nice at times, and turns to be jerk at other times. Still the same as before. The only difference to me is that I have managed to tell myself not to contact him often anymore. And it works (and I am happy about it). Now I really don’t know even I want to keep in touch with him, so forget the idea to reunite again as lovers (or whatever) in the future. I will not be back to him even though it was me to broke it last time (and it wasn’t because I really wanted to!*sigh*), unless it’s him who will try to make us together again one day. Why, I think I have done my part, now his turn. If he can’t figure out how and when, then he’s definitely a useless man I dont want to waste my time hoping for.

Dynafront Systems interview call

28 March 2008 at 6:07 pm (Interview)

Help! Interview again :-( I mean, I am expecting a call from IRIS but instead I got another new interview call. Anyway Dynafront is a software solution company and they invite me to come for interview for Java Programmer position. The first interview where you’ll have some test will be on this Monday 31 March at 4.30pm in their office in Wisma Selangor Dredging near KLCC. If you pass the test there will be the 2nd interview. She asked if I can come, and I was too lazy to talk too much like usual so I just said OK. Haha.

But if I really have to come for the interview somehome (given that IRIS still hasn’t called, *sob sob*) I can probably go to the PeopleSoft interview with ACS in PJ too. Hmm..

ACS Interview call

27 March 2008 at 9:31 pm (Interview)

I got a call from Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) Malaysia for a position as Oracle PeopleSoft trainee. UIA didn’t teach me the software so I had very very little idea about it except that it’s something you can call Human Resouce Management System (HRMS) which I am not quite sure how it works rather than the much more familiar DBMS. Anyway it has saved me from embarassment when she asked me what I know about PeopleSoft. So I said what I know, and I said I didn’t learn Oracle in uni. But she told me it’s fine as this is a training program afterall, and in the email I got yesterday I understood as it’s an INSEP training which will be under SHRDC Shah Alam for 2 months (with govt allowances of RM500) before going to work at ACS. And not an appealing bit when she said you’ll be bonded with the company with 2 years, with (starting? fixed?) salary of RM1500.

I am so confused. I would love to try out new things like learning some system like Oracle and become professional in it, but I don’t know if it’s going to bring me any good? If my job is doing Peoplesoft and I have to learn it first, will that mean what I have learned for 4 years in UIA are cheap stuff that don’t even guarantee you a job? :( So sad to think that way…

She asked me when I could come for interview, probably next week as the training will start soon. I said I can’t decide now as I live in Kelantan and have to plan for the time and transport first before I can make a trip. So I will inform her later. That’s a rather polite excuse :-) Actually I am not too interested about the training part (I mean training allowances), and the 2 years contract. Have to speak about this to my parents first.

San Remo Mushroom instant pasta

27 March 2008 at 8:54 pm (Food)

san remo

 

 

 

 

 

Ismah recommends me this San Remo instant pasta, so today when I went to Tesco I got myself two packets of different flavors: Mushroom & Herbs and Macaroni Cheese. I love both two I can’t decide which to try first! But but I guess I gotta try out the Mushroom first :) It’s very easy to serve: mix with water and milk, some butter, microwave cook for 8 minutes and see.. you have magically trasnformed this packet content into a real YUMMY thing!! The taste is oh so creamy and tasty, though I am sure it would be tastier with extra mushroom but nevermind this is the first trial only. Will add extra mushroom next time. What is better yet, it’s served hot with a glass of cool chocolate milkshake of my recipe: cocoa powder, low fat milk, some ice cubes and a little sugar blended until smooth. Again the taste is super SLLLUURP! What a delicious day!    \_(^o^)_/

Cosmopoint Roadshow.. (WTH?)

26 March 2008 at 4:48 pm (Jobhunting)

I got a call this morning when I was dead sleeping, and the person spoke Kelantanese. She mentioned something Cosmopoint (career?) Roadshow that will be happening this Saturday morning in Juita Inn Kota Bharu. And she asked if I was Comp Eng graduate, and I said yes, and she told me if I had friends with the same field I could bring them, too. I can’t really remember much else about the phone call as I was totally half-dreaming. Even when I woke up I had to check the received call again to make sure the call was real and not something in the dream. Well. I hope I didn’t sound sleepy on the phone, though, nor said something weird.

I do remember that I did apply something at Cosmopoint.. though I can’t remember what position it is. I hesitated to call them back to gain the details again. Not that I am too interested about the event, except the fact that it’s here in KB so I can probably go. And I called Akmal if she wants to come too. And after googling I guess it’s gonna be something like this ads. Not an interview (yet), but I don’t know, maybe it can be said a career fair afterall. Then again by the way the ads is written I have a feeling that it’s more to promote Cosmopoint that you should go there taking a few courses if you want to get a professional job later on. Right? Right? Right?

Tra la la…

26 March 2008 at 2:22 am (Family, Life, Wishes)

Today I woke up at 3pm. Yup, a nice beginning of a parents-free day! You can never sleep this much when parents are around, so this is a rare chance since I have come back to stay at home. But I went out to send Ipah early in the morning and pick her around 5pm. A Parents-free day at home is very different than when you’re at hostel – where there’s no parents around as well. But at the same time, very similar too. I just realized this a little. There’s nobody to be noisy when you’re at the computer all the time. There’s nobody to call you to come and eat on time. However, now you have to prepare the meal by yourself lor. And it’s very very quiet now. Hmm. In the meantime, Mama & Abah seem to be having a good time in KL.. and oh, they’re visiting Eye on Malaysia! I did not like Eye on Malaysia when I was on it last year. Nothing too special, just a waste of money.

Hey I am praying hard that IRIS will call me soon. With a good news. Oh my, I don’t know why I am so enthusiastic I can’t wait to start a job now. I am so looking forward to begin a new chapter of my life. I want start doing something I can be proud of myself, and make me and my parents happy. I don’t want to keep wasting my time like this as if I am the most useless person in the world. I have been at top, and I have been so down, and now I want to go back at top again. God, can you hear me? Please? I promise I will work hard and make a meaningful life.

I am going to sleep now. I am hoping a nice dream :-)

And I think I’m missing my parents…

Dear Ado…

25 March 2008 at 4:40 am (Love)

Last night I received your sms again. I hate to admit this but I feel relieved to hear from you again after.. umm.. 3 weeks? OK, so your up-down life doesn’t surprise me at all. And you surviving from another accident doesn’t surprise me as well. (Hmm.. do I sound mean for saying this?). Sorry that I didn’t reply your last sms but I guess there was nothing much to say anymore. And I’m not replying this sms either. Though I actually have alot to tell you. I want to tell you about my job interviews so far.. about the nice company IRIS that I visited. I want to tell you that I have received new postcards from Bosnia.. and one of them looks like the same to the one your sister sent to you before. I want to talk to you about Eurovision this year which doesn’t seem to be interesting.. and why does BiH rep look like a gay?? I want to tell you about my experience being a teacher last time. I want to tell you I may be living in KL if I get a job there.. and I have actually been surveying some room-for-rent ads online. I want to tell you that I want to eat this particular cake at Backofen. I want to know what you think about the last election.. that I went to vote for the first time. Do you like it that KL and Selangor are under BA now? Do you think Pak Lah should resign.. or do you even give a darn about it at all? And I want to know how’s your studies going on? How many subjects are you doing this semester? What do you think about Proton Saga BLM? Have you seen it on road? What do you think if I go to do Masters studies? I don’t feel like going back to classes anymore but everyone seems to be talking about doing Masters now. I want you to know that I’m still thinking about you everyday. I have so much to tell you, but I can’t.

Therefore I am not going to reply your sms. I am not going to email you anymore either. But I’m writing all this here, I know, cuz I am sure that you’ll never read this blog. So it’s like, I’m telling you what I have wanted to tell you afterall, but the message will not be delivered to you. Just pretend like I have the mailing system bounced my e-mail back because of email address was wrong. Or I sent sms when there’s no credit, so however much I wrote in my sms and sent you but you never get to read it because of message sending failed. Ok, this is silly, but nevermind. At least right now I want it only this way.

I hope you’ll understand soon if you never seem to get my reply. Or do I have to text it clearly, I DONT WANT TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOU ANYMORE SO DONT CONTACT ME AGAIN. ? But that sounds so mean, no? Whatever the reason, you know it more than I do. I may still love you, but this is not the kind of relationship that I want. So I don’t see any point to continue this anymore. I don’t know if I want to stay friends with you either. It only makes it harder for me to move on.

Bye bye.
