Hi everyone!

I thought I would write something different today.
While waiting for potential employers to contact me, I have been reading quite a bit, watching quite a bit of drama and stuff. And I have a webtoon that I would like to recommend my readers to read!


The webtoon is... ...

ORANGE MARMALADE!!

I have been reading this webtoon via the WEBTOON app.

The app is free on app store and google play. ^^


Well, actually to be honest, I am extremely budget or "cheapskate" . I will go for anything free. :X
and you know what's the best part? 

You can download it at home and read it offline!!
Also, the app allows you to download the whole series all at once. So you can read 1, 10 or even 100 episodes at once! 
I feel that it is a major advantage especially if you have a small data plan. You can read it on the train, or while waiting for whoever.  Or even read it on the plane!! You know, we students or cheapskate people, we will try to save our money by taking budget airlines. but the major downside is that you don't have in flight entertainment, and webtoon can solve it for you! As you can download all the episodes and read them even when your phone is on airplane mode! 


So anyways, back to the webtoon I want to recommend. 

ORANGE MARMALADE. 
Overview
It is about a female vampire high school student that has fallen in love with a human boy who is OBSESSED with her till he found out her true identify as a vampire. As the human boy hates vampires as his mum ran away with a vampire, abandoning him with his biological human dad. 
However, their love for each other was so strong, it becomes a whole emotional roller coaster when he found out that she is a vampire. 

What I love about this series
I recommend my friends and you readers out there to read this series as I feel that the emotions of the characters are well portrayed, and that it is such an emotional roller coaster when you read it. 

Will you believe it if I said that i actually cried while reading this? 
If this web series can make me cry reading it, it definitely proves that it is nice. haha. If not I would not even bother reading it. 

In addition, at every episode, it is a cliff hanger. Which, to be honest, it is quite annoying. However, the story is so interesting that it makes you want to continue reading it! 



So ya. READ ORANGE MARMALADE! hahaha. 

If you have any books, manga, shows that you recommend, PLEASE leave a comment below. ^^ 
See you in the next post! bye.

it is already the 4th week.

Hi again.

The sudden realisation hit me HARD. That I am still unemployed, wasting my life and it is week 4.
This is evidence that the economy is really bad. oh dears.

But somehow, I do not feel stressed about it. But instead, I am actually very comfortable with life as an unemployed person. As I can do what I want, when I want. 

I don't think I have relaxed so much before and picking up hobbies while wasting my life away.

And also, I have met up with my friends from other faculties recently, and they are also having trouble with job search. So I guess it isn't just me?

The job hunt journey is definitely STRESSFUL and TIRING. I am really glad that my parents are supporting me financially and does not give me extra stress during my job search.

pointless, meaningless, jobless

Hi its me again.

I was just looking back at my older posts from the dinosaur era.

And I realised that I AM STILL THE SAME! Where I will come and blog when I am bored to write. I supposed that blogging provides me with a venue to share my thoughts when all my friends are busy and give me time to reflect and pen down my thoughts. I guess a part of me likes writing/blogging as well as there is no restrictions to what I needed to do or deadlines. It is all up to me! 

Recently, I have been helping my sister vet some parts of an article, just checking her language and giving some suggestions on what else she can write. She is a freelance writer. I supposed it is quite fun to write freelance, it allows me to read up and do some research on topics I wouldn't even look at myself. 

I guess I may go be a freelance writer as well. But I don't know where and how to start.

job search is hard and stressful

Hi everyone.

Yes. I have finally completed my bachelors and I have ended my official education.

Say no to:
-LECTURES
-TESTS
- EXAMS!!

However, in all the joy of not having to sit 2 hours for a paper, there is this cold brutal truth of job search and entering the adult world.

Where parents stop giving pocket money or allowances, the financial burden kicks in.
- RESPONSIBILITIES
-PHONE BILLS
-STUDENT LOANS
-DAILY EXPENSES

I have completed my education and I am 2 weeks into unemployment with ZERO income. So basically, I am living off my savings right now. Every bus ride, every train ride, every MEAL costs money and hurts my heart a little as I do not have income.

Luckily for me, my parents were understanding. They still gave me some allowance during this time while I search for a full time job. I love my parents and thank them for understanding my situation.

I don't know if it is my upbringing or is it just the stress that i put onto my self. These two weeks was torturous. With nothing to look forward to daily, I wake up at 11am ( yes, 11am), have some brunch, go watch a few episodes of Kdrama, apply some jobs online if I am feeling stressed about unemployment, chat with my other unemployed friends have dinner, watch more shows, practice calligraphy, watch more shows and finally sleep at 2 am. 

One thing I don't understand is why blogger.com doesn't help me make my "I"s and the first alphabet of each sentence capital letter. KIDDING.

What I do not understand is WHY IS JOB SEARCH SO HARD AND SO STRESSFUL. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO FIND A FULL TIME JOB.

Well, I understand that employers need time to do other stuff other than looking at resumes, but I really did not expect such a painful wait. Also, I feel that Singapore's education system do not train us well enough for the workforce. Well, at least for the education I received. Like I didn't know what to expect for job search, I did not know that interviews will be such a painful thing.

I have been to a few interviews before my graduation. 3 to be exact. But obviously none of them got back to me with a job offer hence the post :S. There was ONE interview that was traumatizing where the hiring manager drilled my full education process and drilled me for each and every one of my education choice and internship choice and drilled me on WHY I WANT THE JOB.

I understand where they are coming from. But from my stand, I just want a job to pay the bills and I am alright with the job scope and hence my application. I wasn't expecting a fancy thing, I just want a simple life.

That interview was TAUNTING. I swear that I was traumatized by it and I didn't apply any other jobs for 2 weeks as I was too scared and traumatized by the earlier interview. I wasn't mentally prepared to face another interview soon.

Now, after I have officially completed my studies, I am really bored of unemployment life. I want to look forward to something daily. I want a job. I want to have some meaning in life, something to wake up to.

sometimes i wish i didnt graduate and be an adult yet.
