sometimes.. i wonder

how smart is it of me to blog my life here, out in public domain.. I actually have no problems with other people knowing my life. I am more concerned with repurcussions, in the event that I get caught.. by company or something... blogging out... they could
1) get terribly offended; or
2) sue me for breach of trust? any lawyers here? can help answer my question? am i opening myself up for some law suit here? will i get fired?

anyway.. grooming. I went with my best suit.. ok lah, it was not my best. the best's pants has gone AWOL, I have searched the whole house. and... the 2nd suit was not ironed yet, which leaves me with my last suit. It is the brown suit, the one which makes my already v broad shoulders look like I am from some weight lifter's club.

Good comments from groomer:
1) I had a good hair cut (compliments of the trip to hairstylist on sat)


Other comments (I refuse to see them as criticisms, cuz they were actually valid comments that I had suspected, which is only now, being confirmed)
1) Need a bit of makeup, aka. lipstick, the basic, they all say.
2) Pants are a little too long. Jacket sleeves are too long.
3) Shoes, need to be the high heels, slightly pointy ones. Not covered shoes, like mine now.
4) Black shirt and dark brown suit, is too dull looking.
5) Don't buy overly low cut blouse as my amulet will show.

Well, I learned alot about business and social etiquette, all of which I am sorely lacking in. All in all, it was a good session, I learnt a lot.

and... meeting with big big boss, and big boss. Haha.. amazing... big big boss had our credentials. he mentioned,

bbboss:"oh, you don't have honours."
me: "yah, I am taking my masters now in ID"
bbboss: "some people call it coming in by the back door. don't worry, if you do well, we can still post you out. we can overlook this. (points at paper with my credentials)

(*by the way, note the bold "if": to be on the morbid side, what it means is, if I don't do well, I can forget about being posted out of my department. Meaning, if I still find myself here in 2/3years, I can
a) find the nearest well and go drown myself, except there are no wells left in sunny singapore, heck, i will go drown myself in the next long kang i see.
b) be really thick skinned, and stay on until I get retrenched or fired.
c) go look for another job...

bah... anyway, is the fact that I only have a degree going to haunt me forever? what's so great about honours? I could have gotten it, if I didn't have a life?! I was too busy having fun in hall... ask me about my hall life, ask me about how committed and how great a team player and leader I was.

Life does not revolve around an honours paper. Granted, I was not brilliant enough to have both an overactive hall life and still garner great results. Hey, life's not always perfect. You give and take.

Bah... but the session with bbboss and bboss wasn't all that bad. I exaggerate frequently, and usually on negative aspects. but I do have a long oval face... oval face being the ideal face shape. which is good. I shall start chanting to myself... "I have an oval face. slightly long, BUT i have an oval face... ohmmm"
