下一個
最近不用上班,我的時間充裕得很,不停的和朋友見麵,吃飯,每天都在趕場一樣,倒是正經事還沒著落,該update的resume還沒完成。軼勸我不用太著急,可以給自己放個假,她今天來東京麵試,做了將近4個月的閑散人員的軼,終於找到一份新工作。上一次剛辭工作後,我還挺積極的投入job hunting,因為是第一次,心裏沒底,這回我是想積極也積極不起來,潛意識的給自己放假,反正這個月的工資仍照發,就當我是帶薪休假了。每天睡到自然醒,然後上網看看新聞,回複emails,下午去gym遊泳,晚上和朋友吃飯,這樣的日子實在太愜意了。
當然,工作還是要找的,辭職後的第二天我就約Kevin見麵,他比我還急,替我updated resume,然後就開始給我安排麵試。為了今天下午的一個phone interview,Kevin早晨10點就打電話給我,幫我練習interview skills,足足兩個小時,I really appreciated his help, but honestly... its kinda torture, lol. 真正的interview不過20分鍾,都是基本問題,我在逐漸找回去年“橫掃”各公司麵試的感覺,嘴皮子通常都是越磨越利落,最後就能達到“天花亂墜,口吐蓮花”的意境,LOL.
晚上和Marc吃飯,他找的一家埃及餐廳,東西味道一般,不過中間的belly dance show蠻精彩。那個dancer還拉我和Marc下場一起跳,很是開心。晚飯過後,順路參觀了一下Marc的“豪宅”,他剛搬的家,好地點,很新的公寓,從陽台可以看到東京塔,估計月租價格不菲。Marc去年換工作未成,反倒升了職,估計年薪也水漲船高,今年金融界整體大受打擊,Marc不敢再“奢望”跳槽,打算安分守己的在LB再堅持一段時間。不過,我們今天也聊到是否該離開日本的話題,我說我已經待夠了,是時候換地方了,他也有同感,不過他喜歡亞洲的大城市,所以可選項不多,HK or Singapore. Marc and I, we always can have good time together, dinner, drinks, good talks about work, music, movies, life... But we would never fall for each other, just never feel that way, well, kinda funny, I guess this way is better for both of us.
德語課上認識的女生,yumiko, somehow she is trying to set me up with her bf's friend, Alex. So last week, we had dinner together, yumiko, alex, alex's friend mario, and me. It was a great night, dinner in ROTI, then a few drinks in A971, interesting conversations. Alex and Mario are both Germans, young, cute, nice, as serious as all Germans supposed to be, but chemistry didnt work out for us, I thought Alex was a little judgemental, and he said I was "a little arrogant", LOL. How could I be arrogant??? Anyway, I learned some very useful german word from Alex, which I would never be able to learn in my german class, -- Arschloch! I like the way it sounds, its interesting to curse in different languages.
Last week after I quitted my job, I sent an email to Tom, just one line to tell him that I quitted the current job. He replied right away, and kinda worried about me, he was in a business trip at Berlin, so we arranged time to have a talk when he came back. Well, things kinda started working out between us. Sunday I had a cup of coffee with yumiko after german class, so back home a little late, and found out that Tom already being online and waiting for me, which made me feel really... secure and comfortable, Tom is the type of man, if he says so, he will do so for sure, I think I can trust him more and more. We talked about my mess, well, I didnt expect him to do anything for me, since its my problem, and I believe that I can deal with it on my own, but I really appreciate that he could be there for me, and listening patiently, thats just so sweet. And for the first time, Tom was able to tell some jokes, which were actually funny and made me laugh, I was surprised, happily. Well, he will come to Japan in September for a business trip, and we plan to spend time together for a weekend, so... will see how things going.
There are still lots of things going on, just cant think of all of them now, plus its almost 4am, even though I dont have to get up early tomorrow(or say today), better hit the sack now.
Well, it might not be the right timing to make any big decision in my love life, I dont wanna run into anyone just because I am in a tough situation and need to be rescued... Its not the right reason to start anything emotional... But I have to say, Tom did the right thing at the right time which helps our relationship moving ahead a lot.
