The Secret Agent

Not the ''007'' in James Bond.
Not the ''Ethan Hunt'' in Mission Impossible, also.

I'm referring to the Recruitment Agent or Recruitment Consultant. The one that can bring you job opportunities for that job you looking out for.

I met some who laughed (directly on the phone) when i told them the reasons of quitting my job, some 'super on' type, like below....

*No names or particular recruitment agency named* 

Last week, i got a call from an agent from a particular recruitment agency.
She called me on my mobile, did some 'phone interview' and i mentioned i am fine to apply the position she offered.

Call ended. (Yeah, another job opportunity, i thought..)

I went to bathe.. and when i came out of the bathroom, my father was on the house phone, and saying someone was looking for me. (It had been years since i had someone calling me on the house phone, usually my friends call my mobile.)

It was her again!

She actually called my house phone, as i did not pick up my mobile. Therefore, i talked to her, still in my towel, for another 5 minutes or so.. (-__-")

And as usual, i went to switch on my laptop, and saw her emails!
All this tasks, within 15 minutes.

Wow right?

After that, i start to imagine how she looked like.


She could be like my idol: Michelle Yeoh ?

And today, i finally meet her, and of course, with the previous super tasks in 15 minutes. She did it again today.

Was supposed to meet her at 10am. The actual interview at 11am.

At 9:50am, she called me.
She: Hi Hong Wei, you remember to meet me first before the interview?
Me: Hi, yup, im on the way. Reaching soon.
She: Wah? So fast?
Me: -___-"

While we met, we discuss about the job and things. And it was rather rushing as i actually left her office, at 10:45am!

Luckily the interview place was nearby, but the blur Hong Wei, took a wrong turn and lost the way!! Oops!

As i was late, she called again.

She: Hong Wei, where are you? (as i picked up the call)
Me: Sorry i took a wrong turn, i think i lost the way...
She: Why you did not call me? Where are you.. where are you? (so anxiously)
Me: I'm at xxx, i found the way, walking over now..
She: (shouted) its just opposite my office, lah!

Very seldom, i scold people. However what she just said, almost made me snap.

Me: Hi, why are you so rude on the phone? I almost scolded you ok?
She: (toned down) Ok, you see the xxx building, its actually there.. good luck ok?
Me: Oh... ok..
And, we hanged the phone, and i went for the interview.

After the interview, i went for my lunch.. And she called again!!
This time to ask what was being asked during the interview..
(-___________-")

Result, she is actually Trinity from Matrix:



Can appear anywhere, call anytime, and track you down!

And also after this, i feel that she is more concern about whether she can get the commission after me getting the job rather than concern about a guy who is out of job for quite some time..
Or she wanted to become my girlfriend? LoL

How do you think?

And the job search continues... *bites teeth*

Where is your price tag?

Everyone has a price tag (number,ranking), labeled to you.

Why?

Working people, we compared the salary, bonus received.
Studying students, we compared the results.
In market, housewives compared which store is more affordable.
We compared the car model we drove.
We compared the mobile phone we bought.

By the way, when one is out of job (still), and how much is left in the bank is so crucial... So nice, someone suddenly email you that you got XXX billions of money to claim..

A gentle reminder: although MONEY is important, do not fall into scam email tricks ok?

If some day you receive an email like this..



Or this...



Take Note!!!!
MONEY don't come into your email accounts, so easily!
Think about it this way, isn't it better that they send boxes of cash over to your doorstep straight?? =D

Be careful, my friends.

And, We just wanna make the world dance, Forget about the Price Tag..





Okay, Coconut man, Moon Heads and Pea
You ready

Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop, for a minute and
Smile

Why is everybody so serious
Acting so damn mysterious
Got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
We're paying with love tonight
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

Okay!
We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes,
Am I the only one getting tired
Why is everybody so obsessed
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feeling Alright.

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
We're paying with love tonight
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching.

Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

[B.o.B]
Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six strings and a half stACK.
And you can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I..
Yes all I need are keys and guitars
And its with in 30 seconds I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah we leaping across these undefeatable odds
Its like this man, you can't put a price on the life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice everynight
So we aint gon stumble and fall never
Waiting to see this in the sign of defeat uh uh
So we gon keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

[Jessie J -Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Oo-oooh

Earthquake in Japan

On Friday, 11 March 2011, Japan was hit by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded. The magnitude-8.9 quake spawned a deadly tsunami that slammed into the nation's east coast, leaving a huge swath of devastation in its wake.
Hundreds of people are dead and many more are still missing or injured.

I get to know about this through Twitter, so i went into BBC website and to find out more about it.

The newscasters were reporting while images of the tsunami and the impact it caused was being shown.
I printscreen some of it..


I was so sad, looking at the images of it.. Mother Earth must be angry at us, for making it sick and so such an disaster is to remind us to stop, or if can reduce the rate of making it sick. 

My friend on Facebook shared this video (As a vegetarian, and as a reminder.)



There are some organizations that are working on relief and recovery in the region.
More to read about it over HERE.

It's only March of 2011.
So much happenings.

Blessings and prayers to Japan!
To all friends, all over the world, take good care, and enjoy everyday.

孫燕姿 《當冬夜漸暖》

After so long, my idol: Stephanie Sun Yan Zi, 孫燕姿, finally has a new album, named "It's time".
It's been four years since her last album!



Today on Facebook, someone shared one of the MV, and im loving it. =)
 


《當冬夜漸暖》
詞: 藤井樹,曲:饒善強

很多事情 不是誰說了就算
即使傷心 結果還是自己擔
多少次失望表示著多少次期盼
事實證明 幸福很難

我們之間 不是誰說了就算
拉扯的愛 徒增結局的難堪
一百次相愛只要有一次的絢爛
下一次 會更勇敢

當冬夜漸暖 當大海也不再那麼藍
當月色的純白變得陰暗
那只是代表快樂不再那麼簡單

當冬夜漸暖 當夏夜的樹上不再有蟬
當回憶老去的痕跡斑斑
那只是因為悲傷從來 都不會有答案

當冬夜漸暖 當青春也都煙消雲散
當美麗的故事都有遺憾
那只是習慣把愛當做喜歡
重要的是 我們如何愛過那一段
