D-Day is delayed yet another day!!!
I'll add more exclamation mark if I'll be able to shout louder.
Don't know whether i should be happy or sad in this case. Done with the second interview but...but...but... the interviewers still cannot make up their minds whether or not to hire me.
The senior manager, in his indecisive mind, has arranged yet another interview session with me next week! Yes, yet another one! Aren't those people not sick of interview? Or interviewing people just makes their day and makes their happy while seeing people suffered from anxiety, sleeplessness and etc.
And of course, the fun is not theirs solely. I am scheduled to meet up with the Senior Vice President of the Company to decide my fate.
It's not a typo my friend, you are looking at SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT of the company!
Did I apply for the wrong position? or the interviewers are on the wrong track?
Still the same question, why do they need a Senior VP to verify me even after my second stage of interview? Can't they just make up their minds? Or they just lack courage and reluctant to bare responsibility if the people they hired may not turn out helpful in improving the production.
There are 2 issues arise here, which i think it's not reasonable for all these "jokes".
Firstly, it would a big disgrace for them to have to request for the Senior VP to interfere in the round of selection for the right engineer...hey, I mean a JUNIOR ENGINEER in this context!
Secondly, I am not applying to be the DIRECTOR of the company. There is needless for the Senior VP to meet me. Except that Senior VP has a better offer for me. And this offer had better be a good one.
I am just worn off after the interview - having to travel 2 hours and had another 2 hours spent on the interview.
GOD, help me! I wonder why I can only stare at the "promised land" but i can never cross the "Jordan River" to claim it! LORD, reveal yourself to me!

神木與瞳 - 為你而活
Time to relax after hours of revision.
Today's special is the first hit song from 神木與瞳 named 為你而活.
Needless for me to further introduce it. Listen and you'll love it.
Dedicated for those who like slow rock.

The Last and the victorious!
Another D-Day for me tomorrow.
Still, I have loads of notes to go through, but i don't seem to have this feeling of anxiety like i used to had in the past. Perhaps the passage in Matt 6:25-34 really works for me.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matt6:34-
Some of my friends think that i should be an expert interviewee by now. But frankly, it is not by how well you perform in the interview, the truth lies on the plan of GOD on whether that's the MARKET PLACE that HE has prepared for you.
Why do I say that? I remember the interview that i had with a hiring manager last week. I got almost all the technical questions right but still he told me that i was too proud and that i haven't shown enough sincerity for the job. How can he judge my "sincerity" from the few hours of interview? Conversely if I failed to answer the questions given, he will tell me that I am not capable for the job. Either way, it doesn't work.
Sincerity often radiates from the boss himself to his subordinates. The boss must show enough sincerity for the workers to work hard for him. If sincerity is what a boss asked from his fellow workers to be shown, before he shows them his sincerity in return, he is not regarded as a good boss. The interviewer may not be a Christian to hear this but I do hope that he will have a chance to encounter GOD's word on ways to be a good master. I might be wrong on this, but this is what i think a boss should possess before he even becomes one.
The LORD said to Moses, "When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.22 Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I told you, "Let my son go, so he may worship me." But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.' " - Exodus 4:21-23
There are many ways GOD can perform HIS signs and wonders when we least expect it. In Ex 4, GOD hardened the Pharoah's heart so that the Israelites can be freed from salvery in Egypt. GOD's mean to free the Israelites has somehow draw me to believe that HE is doing the same thing to me. GOD could harden the Pharoah's heart, the same HE could do my interviewers. And from all these, HE will perform HIS miracles on me. Praise the LORD for HE had once enlightened me on my previous failure.
Surely, it's GOD's plan to get me out of the situation working for a person like this. HIS ultimate plan is near to the right chronos for revelation. I have a strong feeling that tomorrow will be the day i am waiting for.
Praise the LORD who have authored the chronology of my life. May what that have been prophesied or confessed become the reality. Amen!

神木與瞳-草戒指
A great introduction from my sister.
Got to know 神木與瞳 a few days ago. Kept repeating the songs after it finished playing.
Actually, the members of this band are winners of American Idol and X-Factor liked competition in Taiwan.
This is the second song i learned from Youtube. Love the way the song and lyrics are written.
Well let's hit the song right away.

Back from Asia Conference 2008
Supposed to update my blog 2 days ago after Asia Conference 2008.
But I was so engaged with my work after I reached home. The second interview for another engineering position is scheduled on this coming Friday. And more to that, the interviewers have requested to look at my Master's theses, which is a bad idea because I might have to reread the whole piece work from the beginning. It was a sophisticated piece of work, and if the interviewers wanted to go into details on the research, I would have to spend even more time to comprehend the details myself.
I remember the Fellow for the company asked me a question, which is still fresh to me even now, is "why the mass of of a hole is larger than an electron?"
Flabbergasted I sat there with an empty mind. I don't really know how to answer his question, which for me, is regarded as a basic knowledge that a graduate engineer should know before they are graduated. Ish...so embarassing!!! But in return, he tried to comfort me by telling me not to get offended as he was analyzing my knowledge level and was trying to determine whether i am suitable for the job.
Praise the LORD, after the first round of interview, he seemed to be quite satisfied with my performance and he gave a green light for the second interview as stated above.
I believe that i will perform pretty well this time. In Asia Conference, I have kind of learned from the people from City Harvest Church that as Christians, we should learn how to prophesy, confess and claim victory for the task we are about to work on. Only the belief that we have, the trust we own for GOD, and the faith we discharge, can we be VICTORIOUS!
GOD is always ahead of me, HE will pave the way for me! Just like what HE had done for Joshua the son of Nun in the battle of Jericho to claim the Promised Land which Moses failed to enter.
So have faith, take the cross and go with Christ Jesus. You may not know what you are going to receive after your consistency in prayer.
Note: will update more on Asia Conference 2008 in the next entry.

Week of "The Mass Massacre"
D-Day next week. Loads to be dealt with. Nothing have i started on yet.
The time when i really hope for the interview never came. It always arrives at the wrong time when i have some other things to do. To an extreme state, it comes in "pair" this time.
Doubtfully, the question arises, as for why people would prefer to have job interview next week. Probably it is the "right" day as regarded by Chinese referring to the Chinese Lunar Calender.
Apart from the interview, it's a last minute plan for me to attend the Asia Conference 2008 in Singapore. Always and very often after i have decided on something, other extra events will suddenly land on me, having me to change all my previous schedule. And now i have things filling up to my nostril - experiencing difficulty to even breathe.
The new schedule reads, Monday - Renew Passport, Tuesday - Silterra Interview, Wednesday - Power Electronics Revision, Thursday - Harmer & Simmons Interview. Right after the interview, i will travel down to Singapore.
The new Saga will begin right after i reach Singapore. Asia Conference 2008 will be the next station where my stamina is once again being evaluated. Hopefully, I could REST through the conference in the presence of the LORD.
Pray hard for this to come to past.
