L.O.V.E

L.O.V.E: four simple letters that ruthlessly conceal a very serious message.
L: for the emphatic LONELINESS that inevitably follows love
O: for the callous ways that love OBSTRUCTS true happiness
V: for the elusive VACCINATION that may one day prevent the crippling disease of love
E: for the brutal END to life caused by love

PNB interview.

Today is the 3rd and the last stage of my job interview with PNB. IQ test in 1st stage, group presentation in 2nd stage then individual interview in final stage. Hopefully I'll get the job. I've put all my commitment in it. I'm the 4th candidate and just imagine how nervous I am. Thank god I've learned the breathing technique. haha. This is my 1st interview after 3 months working with Public Bank. It's all started with describing urself (common). Then the war begin!! They start questioning why am I to young? Only 21. Can you work with the older? Can you gain respect from ur collegue? They again and again and again keep mentioning my age!! DAMN. I need to find my way out. What did I do? Simple. I'm asking them back, is it a minus factor if I'm too young? After that, they start questioning other subject. FUHHH!! Why you seeking for a new job? What can you contribute to PNB in future? Your ambition? It started to be an easy question for me. The interview end up after 25 minutes PROVOKING me here and there. So guys, pls pray for my success. They will inform me next week if I'm the right candidate for them. Hmmm...I really hope I met their standards.
