Toe-ing the waters...

What causes one to blog? What compels one to write about oneself, feeling a confused mixture of not wanting others (immediate friends, family) to know, and yet wanting others (complete strangers. That's you, bub) to know about the inane going ons in one's life?

In my case, I want a G-mail invite. I've heard from friends that they got an invite through this blogging thingy, so here I am, unashamedly on the bandwagon, keeping my fingers crossed for that alluring 1 Gb of cyber-space.

See, this is a case of elitist pressure. Only a select few have G-mail accounts. I want to be one of the few. I want to be l33t. Ahem. Pardon the 13 year old mentality.

So what's new in my life? Well, after almost a year of searching, I've finally landed myself a job. A good one too. Got the offer about 2 months ago, have been going through all sorts of reading material in preparation. It's exciting to finally start work. Especially since 90% of my mates are already in full time employment since graduation. There we go, peer pressure again! I've got to break out of this need to conform!

Still, to all those still job hunting and reading this, I'd just like to say "keep your chin up!" I know how hard it can be after countless interviews/assessment centres, phone calls, applications, etc... There are times when you just feel like giving up. Things do get better eventually, though. Just keep trying. And don't spend so much time blogging :)
