Okay, Marcus Evans' interview done and over. And Winnie, the officer who interviewed me asked to call her back at 4pm today to confirm whether I'm qualified for the second interview. My presentation didn't go that well, although she did praise me for the efforts I put in. I got a rating of 6.5 out of 10, which is a B-. Oh well, I did my best, and if I failed, I'll just apply again. I don't think I want to work with another company. Other than Marcus Evans.
Dani had tagged me, but I think I'll do the tag after my return. Have to finish my clearance first. See you guys soon.
EDIT
I qualified for the second session. ROUND 2, START!

2.30pm - Recruit Express: Admin Assistant

Update on Obsolete Life
Hi ya all. Sorry for not updating about my personal life. Well, it's not as exciting as your life, perhaps, but it's a life and I'm not complaining.
I'm still waiting for a job offer, still applying here and there. There's an interview I have to attend on the 30th, for a position as a trainee manager (whatever that is). Though what I'd like to do is to write articles for a newspaper or magazine. Writing is fun, you see. Especially when you write something that you have passion talking about.
I'm still working on my novel, though it seems that it'll not turn out as I told you it's going to be. Well, once I have the first chapter done, I'll have it published in a blog.
Ihab is back in Malaysia until October. He's supposed to be doing his elective courses during the period, and since he hasn't contacted me yet, he must've been very busy.
Oh, I haven't told you about Ihab? Hmm... I believe I have his picture somewhere...
That's him. We have been friends for almost 10 years already, since high school. And to be honest, I don't think I've been a good enough friend for him. You'd like to know him better? Sure, I can tell you more, but I don't know where to start. And even if I know, it'll take me several posts to describe him. He's that wonderful of a person. And for me to be his friend, I must've been very lucky. He's not so lucky to have me as one, though ~_~...
While waiting for a job, I sell prepaid reloads for the Indonesian workers living in my area. It's not much, but okaylah. RM300 capital, sales so far has gone to RM1700. With zero advertising. Read more about it here.
I have to write another article soon, about the student-teacher relationship. It's a comparison between my time, my mum's time, and the present. Look out for it in Radical's Insight.
That's all for now. Do keep in touch.

Elp, elp... Asking for help. Part 2.
I'm writing a novel, and i need ideas. Well, not really ideas, but suggestions and whatevers (is there such word as "whatevers"?).
Okay, the novel I'm writing is about a young guy (me, of course) who met a foreign older guy. Interestingly, the elder guy (Takeshi) NEVER spends more than 5 days in one place. But he told the me that, "This is where my journey ends". He offered me a job as his helper, since he's not familiar with the country and the area, which I accepted. During the period of my job as his helper, my relationship with Takeshi develops from employer-employee, to confidante, to father-son. In the novel, I will use various quotations from many philosophers and motivational speakers, such as Jim Rohn and Wayne Dyer. I expect to finish the first draft of the first chapter by the end of this month, and it will be published in a blog on a monthly basis.
So what kind of help do I need? I need some advice on how to avoid plagiarism and being plagiarized, how to protect my work, how to generate ideas, and also I need some editors to review and edit my work. I can't offer any form of payment, though. As you know, I AM JOBLESS (huhuhu).
So, if any of you would be interested to help me out, send me an email: radicalscope@gmail.com with "Novel Aid" as its subject. Negative e-mails shall be published in this blog for entertainment purposes hehe.

Elp, elp... Asking for help.
Radical Scope aka Yuumura Setsuna aka Nor Ismat here. Still jobless, pathetically. I did get a job interview offer, but looks like I'd have to decline it. Money problem. The interview is at KL after all. Chaged my work preference to JB, considering the travelling cost would be greatly reduced that way. Still looking for an opportunity in writing and journalism, though. I like doing that. Writing and reading. Though lately I haven't been doing that *swt*.
Recently, I feel like something troublesome is going to happen in my family. You see, both sides of my family are kinda problematic. I don;t know where to start... Maybe with my dad :p. But hey, it's not my problem. So why bother. After all I could use some entertainment and some ideas to write about. Maybe I could write a novel based on my family's problem lol XD.
To be honest, I don't feel comfortable being around my family. Weird, isn't it? Maybe it's because I;ve spent so much time AWAY from them, being in close proximity is kinda weird for me. And then, there's the difference of views, philosophy, belief (not religious belief. I'm still a legitimate Muslim), etc,. And I still don;t have a job that can afford me being away from them. Haih...
Well, maybe I could turn to you guys to help me out. There's several ways that you could help me out. One is by donations; if you have a space change that you won't miss, you could donate some for me. Every cents are appreciated. Second is by recommending me to people who could help me develop my writing skills and journalism experience. An in-job training would be very neat ^_^. Or third, buy buying some books or CDs/DVDs from Amazon.com through the links available in my blogs. I have several blogs; Radical's Insight, Inori no Uta, Read and be Read, Yuri no Niwa, and Mama's Cookbook. Some of them are still in progress, but no worries, they will be fully launched in a week or two. I will have some links to Amazon.com, according to the topics of the respective blogs. All you have to do, is buy something.
So what am I going to do with the money, given that there are people who donated? I will use it to secure a private server, a digital camera, and other facilities that could help me further my journalism career. And also to finance any courses that are necessary for my writing skill. I am still green, after all.
Whether you want to help me or not, that's ultimately depends on your choice. And let me thank you guys upfront for helping me out; THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
