Interview NIGHTMARE

Stupidity strikes again!
Say What?!
Stoooooo-peee-deee-teeee Strrr-yyyykke-ssss aaaaa-gaaiiin!!!

Well the day went on fine til i got a call " Hi Jason, u applied a job as a part time Barista in Starbucks Tropicana Mall Can u make it to the interview today at 6"
And so the story begins. I was there before 6 and i joined the other Baristas on a Coffee tasting Session. Todays coffee was a Kenyan Brew. I never knew that coffee taste other than bitter or sweet. This tasted soury or they say citrusy because of its grapefruitty flavour and after that the nightmare started
So, the title says pretty much the scenario of the case. It was going quite smoothly.Okay maybe not smoothly, quite a lot of bumps as i kinda got stuck in a few questions.
Brain fluidity score = 3 1/2 out of 10
It was all normal questions pretty much
Example 1 Why did u pick Starbucks?
Example 2 Why do u think i should hire u?

and then he asked "Why do u wanna work here?"
Answer : Tomorrow
OMG! TOOOOMMMMOOORRROOOOW???!!!
When i said that i imagine myself falling of a 40 floor building screaming
TTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO-MMMOOOOOOOOOOO-ROOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

SPLAAAAT!!! or maybe for my size BOOOM!!

So then later on i tried to redeem explain the meaning of tomorrow to him in the most bizarre ways.Like i need this job to live another day... I felt a stamp on my forehead
"SUICIDAL"

Okay... enough of that then later on he asked me if i had a best friend. I said i have one. He asked if i would call him/her right now "What do u think he/she would say about u?"
The first answer came up my mind "LAME" and babbled it out. I felt another stamp on my head
"LOSER"
Then I said she might say i am funny sweet hardworking kind and .......... pooof ideas off
Then he asked me "Is that all you could think of "and........OMG DIE!!

Yes, as the question went on and on i was loosing my calm Then finally he said at the midpoint Jason, honestly speaking your not doing very well in the interview
Mind visualisation*: A grandfather clock ringing "DONG! DONG! Dong! and of course everything was dark and moody Anime moment of sorrows squatting in the corner wiping the floor with my finger and both stamps " Suicidal Loser" on my forehead. And in my heart everything went south at that moment.

Then he asked me do you know anyone who works in Starbucks?
I said yes , William Ng and Goh Pui Yen
Oww... Are you close with them? Ermm not really maybe hang out a little but not close
How did you know them from? My club activities
Then he blurted out " Did you know that William Ng was under me and he couldn't stand the pressure?" No....
Yea know i am telling you and he's not a good worker and i am having doubts that U will be like him. Because a lot of DJ students cant handle the pressure.
In my Application form i wrote i was from DJ school and
The Mentality Score: 2 out of 10

Dear fellow class/schoolmates please do not hate me but I have to agree with the guy our school authorities in DJ is not a character building school. Its so focused on Academics. Yes i try to compare my experience of Taman SEa and DJ just to make some small talk. Then, i said i have handled some problematic people before. The he interrupted we call them Clowns. William, sorry but i heard some bad comments about u as the interview went on.Oh right, then names like Tan Yi Ming and another person popped out too Craaaappp....

Then came the what if / situation quesitons and o gawd i suck at those
So 1st, What if u had a emo customer and tells u why are u so slow
Answer : i will apologize and blablablabla
Verdict: So ur gonna talk and delay service even further...
Failed
2nd question What if you had a internal conflict with a co-worker and how would u deal with it
Answer: i said i am very patient if he starts to affect my work i have to report it a higher authority
Verdict: Okay
i think it passed
Then next was what can u do to make costumers come back?
Answer: . . . . . . . . . i stared at a costumer and an idea popped I would maybe go up to them when they have finish their drink/food and ask if they would like to have something else
Verdict: . . . . . What else
Dush** and so the mind goes wondering yet again

So, finally the grueling one on one ended and he asked if i had any questions
I asked him some questions about what time work starts How long is working hours What else is needed to do I was kinda shy to ask about the salary thing so i just kept to myself i don't like to give a impression that i am in for da dough. Then i asked if the tasting session is a daily thing he said yes it is a learning lesson where we teach our workers on the product and we would have to study 4 guides/manuals when we work. I was very impressed actually, u know as a total newbie in coffee industry. i didn't imagine coffee could be like Wine tasting

Hah... so that's the story of downhill interview 1
Wonder whats the next one gonna be like if there is one. But I really aiming hard to actually accomplish my new years resolutions 2009. He told me that i will hear from him tommorow which is maybe today. O-yea BTW I felt he was very firmiliar and i found out he is

Errr.... Speechless....

Sometimes the way to deal with problems is to solve them with silly joy and laughter but it must also be eye opening so that the message goes through. I stumbled upon a very funny video on Tv yesterday starring Jack Black and many more. The vid is about the current news on Gay Marriage in the state of California. This hilarious musical video is about the religious Vs the of course gay and young people

"Prop 8 - The Musical" starring Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and many more... by Jack Black

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Who would have thought, we would see Mr. Pitt playing an old man on clutches which was turning younger as years passed-by ,how Cate Blanchett is in love with a baby and a giant clock ticking backwards.

Well, the story takes place in the time after the 1st World War where an orphanage suddenly receives an elderly looking baby with wrinkled skin wrapped by a cloth. And so, the curiosity of fellow cast members starts to arise. As most Bio students know that the pituitary gland is the place where growth/aging hormones are produced maybe that's why he's growing that way hmmm.....As the stories goes on, he meets several people taking care of him and telling him the meaning of life and love. And yes, he meets the girl of his life, Cate Blanchett who is an aspiring ballet dancer and the story develops up the whole movie and finally he left her alone with their newborn child. When finally he did he popped out,he has turned to be a 18-20+ year old teen and she was in her 50's with a new man and their daughter was already 12. It's amazing how make up can make u look 12years younger[Brad]and12years older[Cate].And the years passed by, leaving her older and him younger til one day he reached an age of 14-15 where he could'nt remember her or his past. Weird, how the young could also get alzheimers disease. Living in a life of confusion, he grew younger n younger til he died as a toddler...

So thats almost the whole story i dun really want to spoil everything, so i would say this is a really unique storyline and it was great performance by the duo. Rather slow but very inspiring. O-yea this movie is up for award nominations ,so maybe this year we could see Brad or Cate lift another oscar trophy

Kiss A Guy, Get Nominated for An Oscar

Hey all,

Erm... I know the title is an eye catcher but its not the main topic lol... Well this post is bout' the current movies made is the west. As many may know that the gay-theme movie starring late actor Heath Ledger "Brokeback Mountain" was nominated for many prestigious titles but alas only won for best movie director...

Todays blog is about the current uprising trend on movies about political idols. These movies are portrayed incredibly with great acting not like some comic book hero movies with cheesy lines and repetitive story lines save the world from villains woohoooo......~Right. Movies such as "W" -a memoirs of still standing George W. Bush, "Frost /Nixon"- The story about the Watergate Scandal causing President Nixon to resign and lastly "Milk" the story of political gay activist Harvey Milk. In a near future, a memoirs on Barrack Obama may be released in the screens as u all know , the first African American president of the USA.

Well i have watched "Frost/Nixon" and "Milk". and i would like to say they are fantastic. Choreographed and executed perfectly in every angle. The stories are told in a very unique way
by insertion of various real-life videos about the incidents which occur in the 1970's
OK, now as for the title the movie "Milk" is about 40 year old Harvey Milk starred by Sean Penn finally comes out of the closet and meets his first love Scott played by James Franco. Outraged by the discrimination against the gay community he amps up his game to fight for gay rights. Sean Penn is really good in this movie really makes my spine shiver.O rite... this movie has recieved a golden globe nomination for Best Actor [Sean Penn] and several other awards from the screen actors guild awards. Like i said kiss a guy, get nominated for an oscar.Anyway heres a self edited scene of the beginning of the movie entitled "The First Encounter"

As for Frost /Nixon it doesnt really have a star-studded crew but this story made an uproar in the political industry.For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency.

Phew, so much to write so little time... i guess i'll continue a little later and i'll post some vids on the movie too=P
