Why I'm so stressed

I've been applying for many jobs. Graduate programs in engineering to be exact.

It's tiring. Believe me. Each application with a unique cover letter saying why and how much you would LOVE to work in their company and how GOOD you are.

Most of them are online applications. So upload your attachments, and answer some "free text" questions they call it, where they test your experience in different situations.

One application said to set aside 30 minutes to complete the online form, but believe me, I took way more than 30 minutes. On average, I take about 2 hour to complete ONE application (cover letter + company background). Sometimes I take 3, with multiple breaks in between.. Reading the questions they ask for and thinking of the answers you're going to type is enough to make you faint. Especially when you see the same style of questions, at least once a day, almost EVERYDAY, for the past 2-3 weeks..

I wonder how other students do it while studying.. It seriously helps when they allow you to register first, and give you time to log back on to complete the application. Some are not so user friendly and only allows you to complete it in one go.

I currently feel like I'm going to die...

So tired. So tired. So tired.

Imagine seeing this..



Instantly fainted.

I dont know whether to laugh or to cry when they say in brackets, "1-2 page response is essential"...

Maybe I should laugh then cry. Hahaha... >_<"

Lucky me, I checked few days before the closing date. Otherwise, I can really cross out this company in my list. And now, I'm thinking how am I going to write a 1-2 page essay.. Havent written any essays in a very long time. Especially when that essay does not involve data or graphs, or something I could make use of my analytical vocabulary and sentence-making skills. LoL

It's going to be a very long 1-2 page essay..

*shudders*

Job hunting in oz is hard and tiring. I can only hope the job pays off in the end. I want high salary!! :P Hahaha

Fried toes

Having this really bad habit at the moment..

Whenever I'm sitting in front of the pc, my feet automatically stretches out, giving my toes just enough length to reach the wires, plugs, and power points.

Itchy toes me cant stop playing around with them. LoL. I dont even realise it until I really pay attention to what my toes are doing.

I'm going to get fried toes one day >_<"

It's going to look like little fried potato wedges, except it wont be a wedge. Hahaha

Photos!!

Click for more photos! Hehe.

Graduation Photos

Family Graduation Trip - Mar 07

They came and they left..

So everyone arrived in Perth!! Parents, aunty, and mrBf.

All the preparation before they came. All the plans during their stay. All the excitement of having them over. All the excitement (and stress) of going everywhere together and trying to fulfill everyone's needs.. *phew*

Now they have all left..

Kinda happy and kinda sad.

Relieved (somewhat) that normal life is restored. Haha. It gets kinda stressful when out of a sudden you've got 4 adults to "look after". At one point in time, I felt like I was chasing after 4 very big kids @_@ This one wants this, that one wants that, this one needs help in this, that one needs help in that.. My mind was just rushing to do lots of stuff..

Next time (if they wanna come visit me again..), I shall give them a briefing upon arrival at the house. Briefing on the house, the plans, the how-to's and the what-not's. That whole week I was stressed 80% of the time... White hair also grow edi >_<"

Graduation ceremony was exciting! Hahaha. The photos, the ceremony itself. I was so nervous that when the lady at the entrance to the hall asked me if I'm graduating as honours as she checked my robe, I went blank for a moment. Huh? honours? *blink blink* Umm, Oh yes, honours. Hahaha.

Quite a disappointment that I didnt manage to take lots of photos with my friends. I only managed one photo mostly with a few of my friends. Went looking for my camera and family, and FOOD!!! Hahahaha, that I lost them. Sobs.. sobs. Then had to leave uni quite early for coffee with friend's parents..

My room is in total mess!! So much stuff. Although there was so much more EVERYWHERE when they were around. Hahaha. So many extra pillows, quilts, bedsheets, pillowcases and all. Mattresses returned yesterday itself. The stuff my mum helped me bring over still unpacked, laying on the floor >_<" Stuff I originally had everywhere in the room. Loads of laundry to be done but luckily it's half done now :P and lastly after everything has been cleared from the floor, it's time to clean again! LoL

But then now that they all have left, I have no more piggyback rides. No more video-man. No more extra-cushioned chair. No more human shield against cold winds. No more soft pillow that seems to make noise O_o" No more help in washing/drying the laundry. Although my mum seems to like washing few loads of clothes at night.. No more marathon eating outings. No more shopping day after day. No more taking lots and lots of random, candid, and stupid photo shots. Hehe. No more funny/sarcastic talks from my dad. No more 2 people to ask me drink water. No more playing around with him. No more "scoldings" from him.

Sigh.. kinda miss those scoldings now >_<"

Photos not ready yet. They are everywhere! LoL. Soon. I will post them up ;)

As a teaser,
