You must be wondering why I am so busy. Some might guess I must have gotten a job. Nah. No job yet.
Just a little update, I heard no news from ST Electronics and NCS. I expected it though, coz my skills didn't match the position in ST Electronics, and I did badly for the test in NCS.
However, I got a call today from DSTA. I going down for an interview this coming Friday. The position I am applying for is Software Development Engineer. Sounds ok to me. Another interview is on next Monday at NCCS. What the hell is NCCS? NCS is National Computer Systems, but NCCS is National Cancer Centre, Singapore. Yesh, I going to SGH for an interview as a Analyst Programmer. Not too bad also.
Well, recently I felt so bored at home that I just got to do something. Guess what, I've been trying to set up a WoW server. For those who dunno, WoW stands for World of Warcraft. There has been several problems though, but I trying hard to solve them.
For those who might be interested, my Game Server webby is http://sgwow.ath.cx:8080
P.S. if the webby is down, try again next time coz my computer might been off !! =)

Need to learn more
Last thursday, I went to NCS for a job interview. I was given a J2EE/Struts test before the interview. I have never heard of Struts before, so I went to do some research the night before. However, the test was terrible. I could not answer any of the 20 qns in the test. I just wrote some stuff so as not to submit a blank paper.
This test really reflects the true nature of the IT industry. IT is everchanging. The Java that I learnt in poly days is no longer the same as the Java today. As a IT professional, I have to be contantly learning and picking up new technologies and skills on my own. Although I was an AD Java student in poly, I do not have the ability to take on Java programming job now.
When I was in Melbourne, I bought a book about JavaServer Pages(JSP). Perhaps it's now time to take the book out and pick up JSP. After all, I have to wait for more interviews to go to, so best to make full of the time and learn more.

Still jobless
Just rejected the job at GeoLogitics because the pay is too low. Moreover, the distance to travel to work is also very far. They are only willing to give me 2k/mth and the place is in Changi. For those who dunno, I live in Yishun. A bit far right.
Yes, I am a fresh graduate, but 2k is just below my expected salary. If I was offered 2.3 or 2.4 I would have taken it already. Just got to wait lor. Anyway, its only september. I give myself another month bah. Hope I can get a job soon.
