Last year, during my summer vacation I applied to three following posts:
1. An internship with Global Povery Project
2. Shell Gourami Business Challenge
3. Next Generation APEN (Australia-Pacific Extension Network) Scholarship to attend their 2009 International Conference

The responses were all the same, "Whilst your application was of high quality and extremely relevant, you have been unsuccessful on this occasion" - if they're not disheartening, I'm not sure what they are.

I'm on the same cycle again, this time for a permanent employment opportunity. So far I've applied to six posts, and I haven't received any feedback yet. To tell the truth, I am rather nervous to accept rejection yet again.

But try I must, and faith I must have.

Wish me luck, folks.

Facebook

Adakah saya patut mendaftar untuk laman web sosial ini? Apa pendapat kalian? Pojan kata saya kekampungan kerana tiada akaun Facebook. Ceh. Rata-rata mengerutkan dahi bila diberitahu, "Nope, no Facebook whatsoever." Kadang-kadang saya terasa seperti hidup di zaman Paleolitik.

"Korang buat apa?",tanya saya. "Oh, tgh main Sorority blabla kat Facebook. Duit saya dah banyak, Kak. Confidence level pun dah naik. Seronok la", balas adik-adik di makmal. "Huh??", kata saya dalam hati. Ya, saya terasa sangat tua dan ketinggalan zaman. LOL.

Jadi, apa pendapat kalian?

p/s: I'm doing fine here in Serdang. Kadang-kadang hampir mereng tapi everything is under control. Semakin umur meningkat, semakin cepat pula saya rasa homesick. Kata orang, home is where the heart is. Nak balik rumah!!!
