Drawing up achievements

Have you ever realised how difficult it is to summarise and draw up your past achievements within a limited space of 2 A4 size? I had that difficulty when i was trying to draw up my resume for the very first time nearing the period where everyone was frantically starting to look for a job even before they graduate. I was the more relax one, or maybe not? People often dont believe that i've only sent out merely 3 resumes to 3 firms which i very much want-ED to work in before the exams and i only started to panic after my exams. Hey people, why dont you believe me? For the record, i only sent out my resumes to
1) SIA for this AO dream job but probably no longer a dream.
2) SPH for some advertising sales executive
3) OH sheesh...i ducking cannot remember which firm i sent it to...hmmn. Oh yeah, it was Credit Suisse, my dream job then and probably still a dream employer of mine.

I was totally in awe by one of credit suisse's relationship manager (RM) when she came down and talk to us during a career seminar. I remember vivdly how attractive she was and how charismatic the rest of the representatives from credit suisse was. Now that im working at where im working, which happens to be one of credit suisse's strongest competitor in terms of snatching the so called higher-net-worth-clients, i realised every job is not as glamarous as i think it was. I remember myself applying to be an assistant for RMs, i know the pay probably suck is low-er but i was seriously quite interested in that job. Then, i was also still wavering between a very back room job (which is what im doing, dealing only with either internal or 3rd party 'clients') and a more front-line customer service-kind of job. NOW, after working for nearly 3.5 mths (not that long i know), i realise there is actually no need for someone to work that long to know their own calling.

So at the end of the day, i dont think anyone here (whoever is reading this) get what im trying to say. Its okay, its not to my desire to disclose anything personal here. If you get what i was trying to say, thats good, if you dont, its okay. Bottom line is, always, always, always weigh the pros and cons of your choice, sometimes, its just a matter of what you want in life. It takes a few try to find a perfect job and some may just never get it.

So anyway, went to fitness first @ capital tower with jean again. My take and comparison in a very concised and summarised form:

If you like a quiet and relaxing environment for gymming and classes, choose fitness first.
If you like loads of good bods, crowded classes & motivation, choose california.
If you are fucking rich, choose fitness first.
If you are acting to be fucking rich, choose cali.
If you are lazy to bring anything else but your underwear and shoes, choose fitness first - they provide even your work out attire but pls bring your own swimsuit and sun tanning oil and socks.
If you like to look at jackie chan poster while you work out and dont mind the non-carpeted flooring of the changing rooms, choose cali.

I have already made my choice even before i have the chance to try out other alternatives, but i think my choice is what i prefer.

The boyfriend think im bias and to a certain extent, its true. Fitness first SHOULD be more crowded and interesting during weekedays and couple by the fact that they have super cute but married personal trainers and my judgement is purely based on a less-crowded weekends.
