The Road Not Taken *part four*

드디어! 이 날이 왔다!!! (deu-dio! i-nal-i wat-da!!!)

Finally… This day has come :)

GLC Open Day 2015.

Apa sebenarnya yang aku nak ceritakan tentang event ni ? Yang aku asyik tulis dari part 1 sampai part 4 ni kan. Yang korang dok gigih baca sampai sekarang ni.

This event really has something significant in my life. But of course. It happened loo~ng after the event ended.

Fate rarely comes in the way you wanted it. Maybe sometimes, yes it does, but usually it will make its way in such an unexpected manner, completed with a plot twist (?). Kadang-kadang kehidupan kita lebih drama dari drama. Betul tak ? God’s plans are definitely wayyy better than our expectations. Hihi.

Hari Sabtu 8 Ogos. Aku dengan mata bengkak tak cukup tidur, hasil sibuk membuang masa malam sebelumnya, melangkah berat. Dalam hati, alaaaa malasnya nak pergi. Mesti ramai gile kat sana. Aku pergi seorang pulak tu. Lonely. Haha. Dengan 20 salinan resume dalam fail, aku kuatkan semangat dan melangkah ke KLCC.

Sampai je kat Suria KLCC, aku mula mencari arah ke pusat konvensyen. Sambil-sambil tu, dari arah bertentangan, nampak macam ramai je bawak shopping bag yang obviously dapat kat booth event tu. Dalam hati, haa dekat dah ni. Matlamat aku satu je hari ni, campak segala resume selagi boleh campak. Then I need to pay my sleep debt.

*menguap*

*menguap lagi sekali*

Huduh sungguh anak dara tengah-tengah jalan menguap sesaja. Haha. *tutup mulut lagi*

Sekali, jauh jugak nak sampai ke sana. Tengok ramai sungguh insan-insan dok beratur untuk masuk ke dalam dewan. Haih. *menguap lagi* Beratur je lah. Nak masuk kan. Haha. Then the Chinese auntie in front say hi to me.

“Hi.”

(Dengan muka mengantuk) “Hi auntie.”

“I really love to come to this GLC event maa. I never missed to come every time they held the event, you know?”

(Dalam hati) Mak aihh. Aku nak pergi pun dok fikir berjuta alasan, mak cik ni sempoi je haha. Bagusnya.

“Oh really?” *cover menguap*

“Aa.. yes.”

She abruptly ended the conversation. Mungkin dia baru perasan yang aku ni macam orang yang tak cukup tidur setahun agaknya. Haha. My mind was really blank on that day. I just wanted to end this as fast as I can. Like seriously.

Once the staffs distributed the event passport and free shopping bag, the long row including me was allowed to enter the hall. Kaki jejak dalam hall. Tapi dalam fikiran ada satu je. Mana booth ni. Mana nak campak resume. Manaaaaaa ??? Haha.

Thinking back, I was regretted what I was doing that day. I should take my time and learning and reading the information on GLC and GLIC there. The event halls were set up such that the visitors will need to pass through all the information boards and booth first, before entering into the commercial booths area. Dan aku, terus lalu je sepanjang-panjang jalan tu, macam tu hanyalah terowong kosong. Memang tak toleh sikit pun apa yang tertulis di sana. Atau apa acara yang berlangsung masa tu. Teruk kan ?

My experiences over there were really like a haze. Blurry image. Ala cermin lutcahaya gitu. Because my mind seems not to be in its place. I was like in a maze (the pathway in the halls seemed annoyingly similar though) and my final destination was like, finished dropping the resumes as much as I can.

I arrived at the areas of commercial booths at last. Yeah. *prepare cv dekat tangan* Every booth has their own style on ways to drop the cv, with different level of difficulty (?). Ada yang simple, letak kotak, hah, pepandaila korang campak. Ada yang buat ala letak surat kat peti pejabat pos gitu. Kalau ada syarikat yang teliti, diorang letak staf HR untuk memudahkan proses mereka sorting out resumes nanti. Kelemahannya sistem ni, barisan yang beratur tu panjang sangat sebab setiap seorang ambil masa. Aku boleh nak tertidur sambil tunggu giliran. Haha.

Lepas penat beratur, sampailah giliran aku.

(Bagi cv)

(Staf tengok cv. Tengok nama kos. Juling mata jap.)

“Hmm.. actually do you know that our company is more like engineering company?”

“Yes. I know. Just put me under customer service or administration will do.”

(Staf tengok cover letter. Dan terus tulis customer service/administration kat atas kanan cv)

“Okay. You may go.”

Frankly, it was and it is never easy to convince corporate company, that such a clinical course graduate can do perform the job at their company. It was quite tough to make the cut. Never to mention the critical question that I mention in part 2. I always have to explain my course during interview since it’s quite alien (?) for their ears to listen. Yet, nothing is impossible, right?

Yes. It is possible.
