Get your reading glasses on
I have become utterly selfish and decided to change my layout to something else that will render my readers blind. OK, no, it’s just a bit hard to read. But! I am using this because it reminds me of the old times (plus, it’s pretty.) Don’t blog layouts used to look like this? Hahaha. I do hate how the sidebar is looking at the moment, but what the heck. I’m at a layout transition phase. Or some sort. (Something has got to explain why I chose this layout.)
Actually, web design-wise, this is a very bad layout. I learned, back in ITB, that fonts have to be readable. But do I care now? Not really. Bad layouts are great! ![]()
Moving on to something a bit selfless, a big shout out to Miss Maurina! A birthday wish for someone who turns another year older. I will see if I can find the time to make tiramisu for you, yes? Big hugs on your birthday.
So, back to — points to self — me, because of what I had felt in the previous entry, I have decided that my great news wasn’t such a big deal after all. It’s just.. news. And let me break it to you. If you hadn’t heard from the IT Manager of where I’m currently working, or from my mom (because these two have been spreading the word; one to inform, and the other, I don’t know being a typical parental unit), here it is: I’ve been offered another job. This time, by the Government of Brunei Darussalam as a system supervisor.
Don’t ask me where I’ll get attached, because they haven’t stated where yet. So hang in there, I’ll bring you the news soon.
What bothers me is that.. I don’t know. Here I am, switching jobs like I change my hairdos, and people out there are desperate to get employed. I feel so selfish. (This is the different kind than the one I stated in the first paragraph.)
In my defense, I totally did not expect myself to be recruited by the Government after the poor performance I had showcased that is my interview. Before the letter came, I knew I didn’t get it. I knew. I didn’t know I was going to be proven wrong. So, I had taken the offer of my current employer. And I feel so, so guilty for actually discussing my letter of resignation after only two weeks of working there.
I have made a good friend there in the IT department. She just layan me on our internal IM whenever I type “NGANTUUUUUK!~” (translation: sleepy.) She brings me out for breaks, which is great, nothing I had experienced in my previous workplace. Basically, she just layan every silly, ridiculous things I say or do, and vice versa. And I’m going to miss her when I move (again.)
It really is hard to read with a font so tiny, isn’t it? ![]()

Erk, sidebar overlapping the main column. :S It does remind me of when we started blogging though, the smaller the font and the narrower the columns, the better. Haha.
Congratulations on getting another job! Don’t feel bad, it just means that lots of people want you! You’re employable! That’s not a bad thing.

It did, didn’t it? It’s like being taken back to the past. Haha.
Thanks on the congratulatory message. I know I shouldn’t feel bad, and I should be happy instead, but it just isn’t fair, isn’t it?
Oh well. At least now I should work hard to prove myself.

Awu! It was quite exciting! At first. Then came the realization that I have to settle in again with new people. Not that I mind, it’s just that it wears me out a bit?
YOU DON’T NEED TO CHANGE JOBS! YOU HAVE SOMETHING I WANT! Hahahaha.
