It is indeed done.
Result's out.
I've failed.
But hey, it was a good experience for me.
And showed me how far behind I am in terms of getting a job in the consulting world.
Life goes on.

It is done...
at least for now.
It's been almost a month of waiting for this day.
It was what I've expected.
Interesting. Fun. Challenging.
It was also very nerve-wrecking for me. Sitting in front of:

Interesting. Fun. Challenging.
It was also very nerve-wrecking for me. Sitting in front of:
1st Interviewer: MBA from Stanford.
2nd Interviewer: Phd from Caltech, BSc from Stanford, Recruiting Director for BKK.
I've not met anyone from any Ivy Leagues schools, neither have I dealt with anyone with such high qualifications. But, luckily, they were both nice and wonderful person.
God has been great as well. It has been raining for the past weeks, and I was praying that it will be a great morning, no rain, so I wouldn't have to go to the interview soaking wet. And surely, it was a great morning. Bright, sunny day.
This is a chance that I've enjoyed and would love to try again. If I make it, it would happen again real soon, but if not... I can still try my luck 2 years later....
Btw, the office looks great... and empty. It seems most of the consultants are out on assignments... and the place look a bit, hmmmm, quiet....
There were also 2 ladies interviewing during the same time as I did. I've no idea what position they applied for, but nonetheless, they look really smart. Those clever people kinda look. I asked myself, do I look the part? Hehe... the answer was, I look like me...
Now, the waiting begins. I should know the result by today.... i think. If not, by Monday. Anyway, the result may not be good... but I've always been a guy that appreciate the process more than the result, so... come what may.

A chance...
I've never dreamt of...
I've never thought I would have...
I know it's hard to get...
I want so badly...
That promises great returns, or so i hope....
That requires me to work hard,real hard, to secure it...
That few will reject...
That comes once and never again...
Just a chance...

Home
Today was a hot hot day. I was already soaking in sweat even before I reached half way point.
The rest of the journey is just not worth mentioning. Hot. Sweaty. Stuffy. Dusty. That's about to sum it up.
I normally listened to my ipod while walking, and one side of the earphone is not working. So I can only enjoy half the fun of listening to the songs.
As I was skipping songs, I found this.
"Home" by Michael Buble.
The music starts, tears followed....
This is a really really good song, so, I dedicate this song to all that can't be home with their loved ones during this festive season.
May everyone has a prosperous, and blessed CNY!
恭喜发财！！！

my day
Today's a day which I've decided that I'll sit in and basically, watch Bleach, msn, cook and do nothing productive.
It's 8pm. And I must say, I've succeeded. I've watched Bleach, however still some more to finish. I've msn-ed. I've cooked. And I've done nothing productive. Great.
My Lunch...
My fried rice. With cabbage, ham, mixed vegetable, pork, cucumber and of course rice. I thought I've over cooked it, but no... it wasn't over cooked and it actually is quite good. Haha... cooked too much though...
Then, it's my dinner...
It is a failure. Haha...I fried a fish. Or so I thought. I still finished the whole fish, but hmmmm... just not what I hoped it would turn out to be. Haha... Maybe I've messed up the methods to fry a fish. Hmmmm, come to think of it. I don't even know how to properly fry a fish... how could I mess it up then?
And of course, tomatoes with eggs. Mom taught me how to cook this before. I've tried once back in KL. It was a failure then. And it's a failure now. At least, I've maintained the standard. But, of course, I still finished it.
I do enjoy cooking, just that, I've no clue as to how to cook a meal that's presentable and tasty. Hopefully, as I try, I'll learn and be one day able to cook something that's presentable and tasty.
For now, I'll settle for a meal that can fill my tummy.....

纸系包唔住火
I knew this phrase since a little kid. Teachers always used this to remind us never to lie, about anything. Be an honest person.
I do think that, generally, I'm an honest person. But there're times when I lied, quite good at that i must say, for different reasons.
But I've never liked lying, because I do feel guilty and I would always have to lie again just to cover the first lie. This is just never ending, a vicious cycle. Torturing for the person if you have to lie over and over again just so that your very first lie is not discovered.
Can you imagine how hard that would be? I can.
But all things have to end. Including your vicious cycle of lying. And my biggest lie to her has finally ended. Bocor-ed.
I knew from the first day when I decided to move to BKK that she'll find out sooner or later. I could have find ways to prevent her from knowing, but I just didn't know how to. I didn't know how to tell her the truth. I still remembered I lied to her when she asked me about it before I came to BKK. I just said, no such things. I denied. It hurt me a lot when I said that.
I thought by not telling her, I would save her a lot of unneccesary stress. How wrong was I. Letting her find out by this way is even more stressful than if I have told her in the beginning.
I don't know why exactly I chose not to tell her in the beginning. Maybe because I knew she would not approve of me having so many CC, as it would ultimately lead to more debts. But I thought I wasn't going to use it at all. I guess I was wrong. Very wrong.
Now that she has known about the existence of it, it became the least of her worries. Her biggest worries would be me lying to her. She's heart broken because of this. Not because of the CC, but because I lied to her.
I felt so sorry to her for not telling her about the CC. But most of all, I'm sorry that I lied to her. This is not good at all. Not good for our relationship. Not good for anything.
I'm sorry is all I can say. And a promise that I would not lie to her again. About anything. No matter how good intention is. Just no more lies.
No more.

Bible has a lot of stuff for us to read, to learn...
I've been trying to read bible daily, one chapter of proverbs each day. Today was reading Proverbs 14 and this verse makes a strong impression on me... it's common sense if you really think about it... but how many of us realise how true this is?

Wanted to write a proper entry with all the pictures, the stories, that happened over the past few days. Felt like writing one, but at this point of time, I just wanted to do something else. Something different. Something simple.
I've just come back from the airport. She has finally left, after spending 12 days with me here in this land. It was the best 12 days I've had up to this point. And I must say, it does make a world of difference with her around and by my side.
At least I know that I would not be walking back to an empty home. At least I know that I won't have nobody to talk to. At least I know that if I'm sad and down, which I'm now, there will be someone offering me a warm hug and cheerful words.
Today was a tiring day. We woke up with heavy hearts, knowing that today's the day to say goodbye. Knowing that we will eventually say goodbye on the first day is not the same as really having to say goodbye on the last day. Knowing it and actually doing it is not the same.
We basically spent the day on the bed, hugging each other, just sharing the last moment together, and crying in between. It really tore my heart apart knowing that it's goodbye afterall.
Yes, i know. I'll see her again. I'll talk to her again. But it's never the same. And the most important part is I'll not have anyone to talk to, to hug, and to share my emotions with.
Skype and msn are great stuff. But it'll never replace the feeling and emotions that go through our hearts when we see each other face to face.
She's on the flight now, almost half way back to home. I still, and will continue to, miss her a lot. I guess that's the only thing I can do now. To think of her, to miss her.
It'll be another day tomorrow. Another day without her. Another day just being alone. Another same old day before she came.
Would I be better? Can I?
By God's grace, I will and I have to.

This is the number of steps needed for me to reach almost half way of my daily walk to office.
She did the calculating while walking home today.
