I can't wait for next week and next next week to come! There are so many things happening recently that I need a planner to jot them down!

Anyway, I had my first and last event with the cdc. It was held at the supreme court. My first time into supreme court!! I guess not many people have been there too right? There's not much of a reason to go there. The place is really big and it does not feel like a court at all. The only things that remind me that it's a supreme court are the paintings of chief justices and the strict security clearance.

Somehow this event reminded me of my internship stint. I missed those times whereby I was running around making sure that the models were ready for the runway and talking busily into the walkie-talkie. Events are fun! They are a good way for bonding too!

Back to the event held at supreme court...here are some photos taken that day.

Yesterday I told my supervisor and the head of the dept that I will be leaving next week.

Somehow I felt bad. Some staff there had taught me quite alot. They put in alot of time and effort explaining to me not only the scheme but also teaching and guiding my thinking process. Everyday there will be someone guiding me on how to assess the client, whether to give assistance and what kind of assistance to give.

During the days whereby I have already signed the contract at the other side but have not informed this side (bcos my supervisor was not ard), I felt bad sometimes. That's when they taught me and photocopying lots of notes for me. They really trained me as a perm staff though I have not accepted their offer.

Although my whole stint there will only be 3 weeks or so, I have learnt things. And I have also wasted alot of manpower and paper resources.

For the past one week I was in a deep dilemma. It was such a dilemma that I became very vexed.

Job-hunting is seriously very frustrating! In this week, I really could understand the Chinese principle of "tian shi, di li, ren he". All factors must work together and in my case they did not; especially timing.

I got a job offer from this A company but I wasn't really interested to take up this job offer. There are pros and cons of this job. Therefore, I was hoping that other job offers will coem soon before I have to make a decision on this A's job offer.

True enough, another offer from B came few days later. But once again, there are pros and cons of this job offer too. I have to weigh both offers and I was confused on which to accept or even to continue waiting for other jobs. To make things worse, I have very limited time to consider for this B's offer.

There is also one unofficial offer from C, my internship company. But this did not really bother me because I know that this is not something I want to work as.

Since A and B offers are lacking in one way or another, I am contemplating whether to reject both offers and wait for better offers. But yet again, I am worried that further job offers may be worse or worst still, what if no more job offers come knocking?

If only all the job offers come at the same time and I can assess all and decide which one to get. If only I can have a job offer whereby there are only pros and not cons.

But of course, all these ideal situations are not going to happen. Perfection is impossible.

After discussing with my parents and some close friends as well as thinking it through, I guess I have a better idea on what decision to make. Haiz hopefully I will not regret.
