FFXIII versus : ) and offer!

woohoo! I got the offer! I sound more enthusiastic than I really am though theoretically, I should be; it's an awesome job. Although I'm happy about it, I wasn't getting the 'woohoo' feeling. I just calmly accepted the fact, and answered her email.

Seems like my stagnation period is over...well not really stagnation per se I guess, I was studying chinese most of the time, teaching and maintaining a social life... It was also nice to see some friends from Canada in HK. The weather has been improving too...nice to be able to walk around out there without breaking into sweat.

I'm so out of it sometimes... living life like it's a movie, not fully experiencing everything, not really paying attention to dates, details, big events...planning only when necessary. I'm emotionally calm, because I want to avoid excess ups and downs.

Hm, now I sound more depressed than I really am. Well actually, I'm not depressed at all... I'm very much happy and content.

Other than watching 'superlover' repeatedly, I'm also watching FFXIII versus, the extended trailer. It looks soo awesome (yeah yeah, I know...just impressed by white haired and angsty in a suit swinging around and looking bored while slaying heaps of soldiers)!! Yoko Shimomura, composer of the soundtrack, is also very awesome! I've been listening to her before I knew of FFXIII. I am so getting this game when it comes out. Maybe I need a passion that's simple, like a game or a movie.

Beware of your belongings... they're out to eat you in your sleep.

HK Ocean Park & an Interview

I went to ocean park and here are pics of either cute or ugly-yet-cute animals:

Pretty

Ugly yet cute.

Okay, this one warrants some explanation. If you click to enlarge, it's FF8 on the screen. This is the HK Science Museum, "Technology" exhibit. Yes, nothing to do with Ocean Park, but decided to upload.

Also nothing to do with Ocean Park. This one's a figure/toy with 16 bit music.

Back to ocean park... ugly yet cute category.

Not cute, just ugly...poster in HK MTR (OH KEITA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU)

I was thinking my usual mess of unconstructive thoughts amidst a noisy crowd when the subway rolled noisily into view, and my phone noisily blared L'arc en ciel's "Loverboy."

Twas all very noisy, but I managed to record the details for...an interview!

I was surprised, even though I shouldn't be, considering I still throw out my resume from time to time. (I secretly didn't want to go to work because I wanted to continue to enjoy my semi-lazy lifestyle of part time school, but then I'm reminded of the fact that I have no $$ *cries*)

The interview wasn't all that special and I'm too lazy to record the details...
Main point : I'm well qualified for it, except it's 1.5 hours away from home, which is extravagant in terms of HK standards. Also, it's full time, and apparently "very very stressful with tight deadlines and potential overtime...can you handle it???! you're a girl!" said a Dr. I forgot his name. It's admin work with a University and they're doing some cool research on bacteria from the Red Sea, and we all know about me and my unhealthy fascination with bacteria (no pun intended).

I'm scared of getting an offer and having to start like, this week and get super busy and die from three nights of school, a full time job and a part time job.

I got a second interview, or something akin to a second interview...they invited me to see their operations tomorrow. (Actually, I should review my molecular genetics notes.)

But whatever happens, happens! God knows best. : )
