Right Time, Right Guy

Was chatting with a friend of mine and we discussed about how to choose her Mr. Right. Ofcoz i started with memo's theory again, here comes memo's bed time story....

If there are two guys, A and B, and coincidently when you are happy you always bump into A and when you are sad, B always around you. If you have to choose one of them to spend ur life together, which one u will choose? I think 100% will choose B, but think again. Do you like this guy B? U will most probably relate Happiness=A and Sadness=B and you don't like this guy B.

So, right time > right person.

Another old time story. If you reach a beautiful beach and you can pick one shell and take it home. How do you know which one is the best?? Choose a place u like, draw a circle and choose the best shell in this circle.

翘翘板

人生有如在玩翘翘板,有高有低...
两个人玩, 一高一低, 永远没有公平...
要站在最高处, 就要有人牺牲在另一边撑着你, 朋友,家人,或被你干掉的敌人...

但学问还是在自己一个人玩的时候...
你一直想爬到最高处, 越爬得高就越难找到平衡...
当你以为自己越爬越高,其实你已渐渐爬到另一端了...
其实人生最高的时候, 就在翘翘板的中间, 这里是最平衡的,你不必花多大的力气站稳...
如果还不满足要往前爬,那就自讨苦吃了。

那要如何知道自己到了中间?
个人觉得是生活平衡的时候。
简简单单,不会很快乐,也不会很悲伤的时候。

Shell Interview


I went for an interview with Shell last monday and i got the result today which is something like "we regret to have to tell you....", you got it. Em.. it's dissapointing but i have already gave my best in the interview =(

I can't find any reason besides i am not good enough for the job. I would never apply Shell again because i don't want to get rejected for a second time. Well, even though it's a failure, i would like to share my Shell interview experience to those who is going for one soon.

It's a 45 mins 1 to 1 interview session and they already have everything they want to ask within the time frame, so basically you don't need to prepare anything. Not really, the first 5 mins they will ask you to show your certificates to them, you better show them the most important ones which you are proud of since you only have 5 mins. After that they will ask for your career preferences, such as technical/non-technical position, flexibility of work location etc.

Next session should be different for everyone but i will just state out the questions they asked me.
1. Describe one of your experiences where you were in a team and you are having a different opinion from other team members. Advantage?Disadvantage?How do you overcame it?
2. Describe one of your experiences where you have to manage/lead another person. What is the issues and how do you overcome them.
3. Choose one from four topics. Can't remember the other 3 but the topic i have chosen was "Manage Company Reputation".
- Use 1-2 sentences to explain Manage company reputation
- Advantages/Disadvantages
- If you were the CEO for the company, how would you manage company reputation.
- Others (you can say anything related to the topic)

That's pretty much end up the interview session. Em.. i am pretty sure you not only have to answer the questions but you have to demonstrate to them that you are different from ordinary.
