Snippets - May 2010

I don’t know if it is an age thingie or what – but these days, I have several guy friends and even acquaintances telling me point blank straight in the face that I am a very attractive lady.

Wah.

I actually thought it was a bit too much of a compliment to receive recently.  I may get super air-headed.  Hah. 

Maybe, now that we are older and more comfortable with who we are, we tend to just say things upfront.

Anyway, I’ve also learnt to just smile and thank them, and quickly move on to other topics.

Yes, I admit it definitely brightens up your day to receive such compliments, particularly from guys; but I guess, unless the person(s) matter(s) to me, such compliments honestly have little effect on me.

That’s cos I know I am attractive in my own way. In fact, everyone is.

And as cliché as it sounds, I still think beauty comes from within and coupled that with confidence nd total comfy with who you are (and that includes knowing and admitting to your own flaws), you will be attractive.

But, don't be stingy and keep the compliments coming! (hah. see? told you i might just get super bimbotic...)

Received a call from a headhunter last Friday. And he hoped to be able to receive my CV by Sunday so that he can expedite the entire thing…

Which is good. I have always wanted to update my CV for the longest time anyway, but never really got around doing it.  And it's not professional if I already agreed to the deadline and come up with excuses later...

And so, I "forced" myself to do it, amid my zzz-ness.

But come to think of it, I wonder how much faith I can place in this guy. In fact, he kinda got scolded by me because he actually called my office line and asked if I could talk.

Too bad, he caught me at a bad time, and I thought he could exercise more common sense into his job. Even if I was available to talk at that time, how was I able to discuss such things with him on the office line? Even if they have to call during office hours, all other headhunters who previously got in touch with me called me on my mobile.

Which makes me wonder – how did all these headhunters get my contact, when I did not put myself out there in the market? I always tried to ask, but of course, all of them just replied me with a “”well, we got our ways. That’s how headhunting works.”

What the…

Anyway, just finished updating my CV. Still not to my own standard of perfection. But I’m feeling too tired… I’ll just send this out and see how it goes first bah…
