Waiting for something...
Is a torture...
You turned me into a doll.
Went down to school for hi club.
The musical changed to today. Abit disappointing lei.
We purposely went back to school to see their test and the interview. Ended up, xin and I had to be the last min interviewer. Is okie lah. And its lucky that those kenna test by us know us or has seen us before. If not imagine having been tested by 2 people that you have never see before.
Some of their signings are not very good and I dun understand some of their signs as well. So even when I see them sign wrong I dun dare to correct them in case theirs is the new signs.
After that we went for our lunch - hokkien mee. Packed for us by Wei Ming. Luckily we got the lunch cos there isn't packed packed lunch for the campers actually.
Some went to deco the stage. We ate our lunch first den we start to do their hair le. Ky start to do the make-up le in case she cant make it cos she only one peple today. Then the ballon-saver (daniel) start to blow the ballons le. Most of the are okie that after the 'scolding'. But some still like need people to sae.
Anyway, the audience very low. Even their own performance also never high. Ended up our muscial also very low. Stll got people sleep through the musical!
Then followed by some prize-giving ceronomy. They left out min's prize. Luckily min is not that particular about such things.
Anyway, after the muscial, some debrief. So the main comm people do their meetings. Then the rest of us do the cleaing up. After that we went to eat first at the alumni. Today we ordered the family package. The foods is better here. But the soup is better at the other stall. With Wei Ming, the fish is never wasted. He eats the stomach and the head.
After awhile, Wilson's parnter came, Ivan. He did not eat. So we choose to go to the Mac (cos we dun go pubs) there to chat awhile more before going home. A nice catching. After that, Nic, YX,Jas came over as well. We talk some more before catching the last bus home.
There are already plans to meet them for the next two sats...

Went back to school today for their camp.
See them play the games. The games are quite interesting but then is abit carzy. So i'm lucky to count my blessings that I'm not in this camp.
But then it seems that we seniors are not very welcomed into this camp. The juniors never tried to get us into theirs talks and games. We have to bond into their circles by ourselves lor. So mayb it will end like this is the last time to see us in hi club again. Of course, we will still have a get-to-togethers with those close ones.
We went to have dinner at the alumini there. The foods there maybe not so clean casue the next day, xin and I had diaherro. The couple dun have maybe their stomach too good le. But the foods there are reali worth the price. Quite cheap. A couples meal is enough to feed 4-5 of us. $7 per person if i rmb corectly plus we ordered an exta plate of LALAs.
Some seniors gave pressure. So the juniors have to do an hour of song siging first before they play an hour of games. We are just in time for the games. We played guru hunter and bear.
The juniors dun really seem to enjoy the games, either they dun understand or that they dun wan to sign. So after Ivan took away the signing part, the juniors start to open le. They start to high le. But this batch of juniors very lah, they dun defend themselves when they kenna shoot.
Home sweet home.

Went down to school to see the full dress rehersals.
Actually abit disappoined cause by the time, I get there, I onli get to see the last two scenes. And there are like not into the thing. No expressions, no moods. Abit low.
Ended up they did a one last round with the hairdos. No make-up cause the artstic did not bring it. Then some of the hair accersories that they have to wear, they did not bring as well. So xin got fed up and she started to show her black face and raised her voice. Some of the people got scared by her as well.
But they really like need a scoldings. They were like stil playing around in the backstage. And we have to do the hair so to know can we make it on time on the actual day.
Anyway, they did still let us do their hair. After the whole thing ended and some de-breifs. Xin still do a last min rehersals on a scene. All of us were very tired and so we back home and did not join some of them for dinner.
Home sweet home...

Went to celebrate Xin's birthday at the Ri Ben Chun there after our work.
We choose to celebrate there cause its very close to our house. Almost of us can go back home just by walking or just take a bus.
Now that most of us has already started working, we feel that its so hard to meet up now. We only has a few hours together to do our catching-up before we had to head home as we still have to work early in the morning. And weekends, not all of us as well, and we cant reali stay out too late as well.
Anyway back to xin's celebration. Veron got the presents ready and she was waiting for us ouside the eatry.
The place has no menu, so you have to walk around to get whatever you want. For some dishes, you just have to get the order sticks and the staffs will collect it and give us the orders.
We ate many dishes and of cause we have quite a number of pictures taken that day. All the pictures that I took that day turned out to be blur. And then they started scaring me. I really got scared by them. Ended up, the blur pictures were because I cant keep still.
The surprise was going well, but then one of the staffs came over to ask: can they serve the cake right now. So they spoiled the fun le. Nevertheless, after servering the cake, one of them quickly pass a present over to Xin and said: Happy Birthday. And xin, she believed it. At first I still have my doubts about this plan.
Xin: Wow, how come so many people know that its my birthday?
We: Wow, this resturant service very good hor. Next time, brithday we also want come here. (the wrapper still got state 'from ri ben chun'.
And xin cant even realsie that it is veron's handwriting. And the name of the resturant is not ri ben chun. Is N****M*** (I dunnoe).
Normally, is we kenna tricked by her not the other way round. Maybe she is too tired I guess.
She dunnooe wanna open the present so we went on to give her the other thoughfuls presents. With a CARD as to prove our SINCERIRTY.
After all the givings, we pestered sucessfully to get her to open the ri ben chun present. TA DA!!! She realised that she has been tricked now. It a photo frame of our indivdual photos.

Went down to school for the Hi Club musical today.
The muscial is to be held on this coming saturday le. I have not been going on to see their practice. But from what I heard, the feedbacks about them is not that good. Ended up, the major people are quite stressed over it.
Anyway back to today's happenings. We were suppose to do their hair and make-up and porps for the various act outs today.
So the guys do the props. While we the girls do the hair and make up. KY and her sis so the make up. Xin, Min and I do the hair. Actually I was just like anyhow do. A chance to play with people's hair and they cant complain about it. Wahaha. Main thing is Xin do lah.
I dim expect to spent such a long time on their hair lor. At first i thgt in 2 hours time, we can fin with all their hair. Ended up we took more than that.
Shimei finally have all her things le. Cant imagine just of one person and all four seniors have to dug their things out. Luckily in the end we managed to get all for her. (I feel that we sort of force her to wear all this actually.)
After some time, min had to leave for her family's gathering le. Quite sad lah. Cause the gathering is in the hospital.
When finally all the hair and make up are done, the actors and actreess start to do their things. Finally the whole thing ended. Xin and I start to analyse some of their horoscopes le.
Quite into it recently. Some of the information that you researched is quite surprising. Though they are quite true for some in some ways.
Had dinner at the alumin there agian. Prata stall. Xin and I were discussing on how to win the tables in front of us lor. Cause they were nosier than us. Luckily we never manged to win. Cause after some time, another diner couldn't take all the noise. He shouted at them to speak instead of shouting.
All of a sudden, the whole place become quite like a library. In fact, I think his family suffered the most. They dun seem to talk as they ate. Another way, this is another reason why sign language is useful. Wahaha... You can use it anywhere as and when you like. We just have to make sure that people dun asked you to speak instead of signing.
Home sweet home.
Xin's bag gets heavier as the day ended cause she received some presents in sdvance. Mine gets lighter cause people had to wear the clothes if not the shoes.
You turned me into a doll.
Keep running into the ex-colleages of my colleages since yst after lunch. The shorter of the twos keep stealing glances at me. (New staff, ppl want to know). Their conversations quite childish and funny. Ended up, he turn into the joke of our dept for the day.
On my way after work work today, saw my primary school classmate. We chatted for awhile. He was having his attachment in the same area as me. (Are other polys having attachment now?) He was working in one of the Big Fours lor. PWC (Price Waters Coopers).
He was feeling weird as to why I envy him. And all my answers to him was: Because it was Big Four. But alsa, he is in the marketing dept. So quite irrelevant to me. Wonder if he would into contact with the internal auditors?
You turned me into a doll.
Finally learn something today le. Weekly report. COF (Cost of Funds). This is just one of the weekly reports that they have. They have daily reports as well. Management reports. And alot more.
The person teach me and left me on my own to look through again. While she taught, I dun dare to note down on paper. For fear that I would down her job. After she left, I began my note-makings.
Actually, another person is supposed to teach me de. But then, that person does not seem happy about teaching me lei. I overheard their conservations. She tried to push me to others when she has to teach me. Or if not just said that I know how to do le. This is a small job, but when I have bigger and more difficult things, can I survive with a mentor like that?
But this work is to be done tml. The value is today, posting date is tml. I'm itchy to do the job le. Heex...
Anyway, I discovered one of the common hobby in my dept le. That is to see guys. When the people from MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) came down today to check. My dept ppl all become ferviously. They keep commenting how handsome the guy is. The eyes. The height. Actually the guy is really quite handsome, cause I sort of drop m jaws when i see the guy. Let me explain why. You will too when you see him. He had that perfect body build. The perfect height. His hand grip is firm. Plus the perfectly chiseled features. Added together all these factors, naturally he look so handsome lor. Haha...
Home sweet home.
You turned me into a doll.
One pai seh thing happened today.
One of the perm staff form other dept came up today.
He thougth I was the old staff there. Cause I was doing my work then my head was down. So he couldn't see my face ma.
On seeing me, he was quite embrassed lah. Then he said to another work-mates of mine: Got new staff why never introduce? Anyone prettier than you, I want to know.
He made my work-mate and me quite pai seh lor. Cause I was infront when he said this line. I was there and I hear everthing lor. Normally, my owrk-mate was quite open, she even seems and sounds baseful when she repeated these to my others work-mates.
Ooh ya, there is a work-mate of mine. Her stomach is so strong that she can ta han foods that has gone bad. Literally gone bad. Food that has gone MOULDY and or long gone past its expiry date by ONE YEAR, she can still eat it lor. Got once, she kept the mooncakes for a year in the frigde then she still bring it and ask whether anyone wants. Of course, none dare to eat, she just ate it herself. Can you imagine eating something that has been kept for one year? Digusting right. How she managed to eat it, I'm not sure.
P.s sorry to missed hi club today. Got to rest. Home sweet home.
You turned me into a doll.
I'm into my second week of work now. Still quite slack. Quite enjoying it actually. But on the other hand, I'm yearning to learn something useful from there as well. Mao Tun right... Heex...
Before I go on to talk about what happened in work, I will just talk on some of the findings in my dept.
My boss finally came back from her one week break le. She is quite nice lah. She buy alot of snacks and gave some to us. (Though she always ask me to distribute the gifts to my work-mates.) Furthermore, she keep asking if I'm used to the life here. Always smiling as well.
Just found out that the company do not have half-day leave in the past. They just implemented it (found out from the email). This company seems to be quite strict in its dressing as well. (Evasdropped from my work-mates that last time the company still have rules on their hairsytle, shoes, etc). Thankfully, I joined when the company has given some leeway.
The snacks in the pantry is actually supplied by my boss herself de. (Such a nice boss). My work-mates are being rotated each month to cotribute to the pantry in our dept. (Luckily I'm not needed. Heex...)
Blah... Blah... Blah...
Wasn't feeling quite well today. Headache... Body aches all over... Shivering though I have my jacket with me. Quite tempted to take the half-day leave actually. But was thinking that I have jsut been here for a week and I'm already starting to take leave le. This doesn't reflect well of me. Furthermore, I just have to tahan a few more hours before I ca go off. With these thoughts, I managed to push through the rest of the day.
Home sweet home.

Went down to hi club today.
The people are bringing their costomes today. Got some mystery.
Xin overslept. Min see her grandma first before coming over to meet us at WM for lunch. Then I dunnoe why. Cant get to sleep more even though I seplt at 3 am last night and I'm quite tired actually. (wake up at 8 lor)
The two ate, I never, cause I just ate my breakfast which I never finished.
Meet Nic (ah jie) on the way to the school. Obviously, we 4 were late. When walk towards Lt 26, saw ivan on his bike. Ky bluff us sae all reach le when some still missing lor.
Some of the costomes abit hard to get for them.
They all like not into the suiattion yet. Cause the thing they like cant do properly and the actions not on the dot de, not firm. They like not enjoy the thing. They do like they have to do not cause they enjoy. Seeing them like these, also dunnoe what to sae. Think the people most invloved will be quite ...
Went Jp for dinner. Just the three of us. The stalls dunnoe why, all closed already or about to cloed le. When its not nine yet. Went to try the food at the new foodcourt there. The food is quite nice. But just that we dun like the service there. Is like super terrible. We dun know which stalls rings the bell for our food that we have orderede (all self-service, then to have a faster flow, you ordered the food then come back later to claim your food. And if you never heard the bell, your food will be given to others.) What kind of service is this? Luckily the food is nice. If not I will never eat there again.
Went to have scoops after dinner. Quite nice. I odered a 'super mocha', Xin ordered a 'teh su su', min ordered a 'green tea'. All is nice except for min's odrer. Hers too green tea le. And is quite bitter. Walk around. All shops closed already, so we just head for the way home immediately.
Home sweet home.

Fifth day of work
Work. Work.Work.
Slog.Slog.Slog.
Went down to hi club after work today.
I kenna commented by them about my dress today. They quite okie le. Just that expressions not there. And more into the thing will do the trick.
After all left, we settled SM's costomes. She dun have alot of the things. Headache. Then do some other parts of the musical le.
The security gaurd on patrol even said that we have to get a pass for staying so late in school lor. First time heard like that.
Auyway, after the thing, went for dinner at Alumnin there. All 8 people squuze into the back of WM's van. Super rite. Somemore that seats is meant for 3 people de. 4 squeez and seat then the rest sqat. As ky is wearing skirt today, so when she sqat, we all sae that she is quite airy down there. Haha. Later, all rmb that I wear a dress also. Then all sae I also airy lor. Then KY is sqatting in front of me, then she keep placing her hands on my legs lor. And when the van move, her hands will slide abit in de.
Spent some time lookng for 9 seats. The JM is li hai lor. His back-view looks so fierce lor. Army de. Reali is okie.
Chit-chatting there. Min came down today also. Then the jokes all become cold de.
Home sweet home.

Fourth day of work
Nothing special at work today.
After work went out with Zy, miss ma, Ya. To get our sb. Luckily, I work abit late today cos dear Zy work OT again today. Miss ma als late de ma. Then Ya also als late de.
After I finished my stuff, went to meet Ya first at Raffles MRT Ctrl there. We went to walk around togther first cause he sae he wan buy drinks, then somemore, Zy not here yet.
I think I reali look like servant girl lor. He keep asking to help him keeps his things lor. Of course, I refuse. Heex...
Walk around for awhile to kill time while waiting for Zy. Abit wu liao. Cause there nothing to shop and look around.
After awhile,went back to wait for yue then head down to suntec together. Miss ma also wear till v cacusal today. Except for me. Luckily I dim cause my dept people wear quite formal today also.
Eat at the yuki yaki there. Zy n I is e soup dept de. Miss ma n Ya is e bbq dept de. Soup de quite easy cos just throw everything in can le. BBq de have to take care of the food, make sure they not bcome char-ta. After 2 round of eating, Zy n I go take e prawns again. In the meantime, they change place then we have to bbq le. Its hard work lor. But its quite enjoyable lor. They even stir-fry the veggies. Miss ma thinks she eating sambal kang kong, she even add chilli in. But end up the veggies no taste cos no soya sauce. But the veggies is still not wasted, the cheif Ya ate it. When Zy n I took care of the bbq thing, any char-ta de n any food we dun wan to eat is all being taken care by a rubbish bin today. Haha...
Quite waste today's outing cause our main objective (sb) is not fuifilled n we cant grt to eat ice-creame today. Cos we eat a long time then some more we reach the eatry quite late. Furthermore, all of us have to work tml other than Ya cos he is rich.
Home sweet home.
p.s: Nice catching with you guys.
You turned me into a doll.
Third day of work
Not much things to mention about my company actually.
But the all-times favourite qns (you got bf?) they wait till today then asked abit slow. Not closed yet. Gussed that they afraid I'll be offened by the qns. They also asked to know whether I can blend into their chinese environment de. All speak chinese there de. Easy to blend in.
Do some other admin things again. Stop my bank recon for awhile. Wau. The admin is crazy lor. All the docs-hardcopy and softcopy have to be in the files. End up I spent whole days doing that. End up with 5 thick files. 10 sections in all. With sub-parts.
Okie. I guess people are not interested in my tasks.
So I'll move on to another topics.
After work today, went down to hi club today. (feel abit bad, if I just quit from the musical like that just cause I work).
Quite late, by the time I reach le. N xin likes to ask me to buy food down there. (Do I look like a servant girl?) So of course I refuse lah. Heex. By the time, I reach there, they alr ding their scene 5 le. After much training, they manage to hit the expectations. Followed by scene 6. That scene, abit haha... No comments.
Dinner at bikit timah food center there with KY, WM, W, YX, X. Ordered the chicken chop. (same as WM, X) Quite nice. Not ex also. The rest ordered the (i forget wat). Crap somemore. Then dunnoe who start the topics on fish. End up all sae that I have a killer fish at home.
Home sweet home.
You turned me into a doll.
Second day of work
I finally can access to my com le. I dun even have the password to loh in my com lor. So the first day, I jux do some admin work lor. Quite slack right. But I dun reali seem to enjoy the idle day. Cause like redundant like that.
Went to check if my com can access to the internet, since I abit bored there. No things to ruch ma. No deadlines to meet yet ma. No INTERNET. They have.
So meanwhile, continue with my admin job and then sort out the operation manual for my boss before she comes back.
Time passed quite slowly today. Realised that the accountants there are divided into two groups in terms of fasion sense. One quite conservative. Her clothes look like 10 years back. The other quite mordern. The skirt even is quite short and tight de. Dunnoe want to attract who, cause there is no guy in our dept and she is married le. Most of them are already married. The kids quite big already somemore.
Some work there for 30 plus years, some 20 plus years. The rest under the 10 years catergory. So i guess the benfits and welfare should be quite good ba.
The company have no cacusal day de and the lunch break is only 1 hour, plus the food there is abit ex also and not exactliy nice to eat as well. So i guess that there is no birthday bash, no dessert day as well. I'm missing my attachment company. Cos over there is like play hard n work hard. I have not start work, and I'm starting to think of ways to play le.
But actually, I'm abit appresive about working there. Cause their transcations are quite volumise in just one working day.
Cause i dun have much to do, I finished the jobs already and I have to bother them again. In the end, they ask me to look at the bank recon. The heavest transcations de. I spent some time looking through it.
The person explain some things to me and left me on my own le. She abit like a lectureer cos I asked one question then she said that is for me to find out on my own.
Abit tedious the work. The seat is not comfortable to sit on also. So quite boring lei.
Home sweet home.
(my friend do OT le... Hahah... poor thing)

Monday - 10 March 2008
First day of work. So nervous. I couldn't get to sleep the night. Guess I was too nervous, excited and not used to sleep early.
Meet Zy at the JE control station. She was late and I spent the time counting how many trains went by before she reached. Altogether 7 trains in all. Heex. Can see that I quite bored right.
Reach the company and wait in the Personnel and (dun rmb wat) P&A dept room. Discovered that the people the company has recurited all come from the same agency.
While Zy and I were waiting in the room, there is another new guy there also. Then while Zy and I crap there, that guy listened on quite intentively. I know he is listening to us because he laughed at our conservations. (He did not bother to act as if he cant hread us or seeem bored. Quite rude.)
After that, we were all assigned to our respective dept. I was the first to go to my dept cause my dept is juz beside the P&A dept. So I dunnoe where they are assigned to.
I was abit like a ball passed around to the people there cause they dun noe what to do with me. The people that was supposed to tell me what to do have not reach yet. Meanwhile, I have to sit in front of a lady while she do her tasks as if I'm invisible. After that, I sat at my table and look around (cause I have nothing to do). Even the cleaner got things to clean lor.
Look around there, realised I dun even have a calculator. How does an accountants works without a calculator? So calculator is our LIFE. They dig one out for me. Like I'm troubling them cause they have their own things to do also de ma.
Actually, I'm quite disappointed with the company. Because there is no pantry, just a small table set up in the storeage room for some snacks and drinks. The toilet only has one cubical (and is not beatiful as well). My dept is quite small and my space is quite small also (i find it abit cramped cos I not used to it, my APT co is much bigger). (I having high expectations here. Not my fault. )
During lunch, 3 of my work-mates bring me out for lunch. As my boss is on leave the whole week, she instructed them to bring me out for lunch. And the lunch is even on her accounts that day. Haha... Got a free lunch. (I like to eat free meals. Haha. ) I find this gesture very heart-warming like I'm being into this family.
The lunch is quite ex lor. $8 for a bowl of laska. Luckily not I paid. Quite boring during luch also cause not 'cooked' with them yet.
But during the work, I realised that they like to make jokes de. Some of the jokes abit cold de. They even have timing for jokes de. Close to lunch n after lunch. Cos others timing is juz reach company so cant jokes yet. Den another time is close to knock off so if joke need to work longer OTs. (this is my logic lah).
Home sweet home...
You turned me into a doll.
Just went to check my cca points. I found out that I'm just one point short form gold.
Its exasperating.
Can you imagine you are that close to something. But yet you couldn't get it cos you are just a little short of it. Short by just one point, one second, etc.
Its so wasted.
You turned me into a doll.
Wed - 5 Mar 08
Wento down to sch for the musical. There are only two pairs. The couples group. They learn the dance - sway, today. They even had a pretty instructor to guide them today. I pair up with HX. Standard practice.
The dance steps still have to drag your feet grcefully form the side to the front. The instructor dim bother with us. Course we are there for fun only. Then quite bore lei cos like no one bother about us like that. So in the end, we went to help wilson with some of the things since he had to leave early.
One good thing about the dance is that you can reali excerise your body. So is great for slimming.
After the practice ended, HX n I went for dinner. The rest went back home, some to work. YX does not do a good recommendation about his terrority - clementi. Both HX n I does not find the food there is nice to eat.
Oh ya, the mac there has closed down and moved to some parts in Clementi. So the stalls along that stretch has been closed down including the bubble tea.
But luckily, thanks to THX's great eye sight for spoting things, we still get to have our bubble tea.
On the bus home, I kept smelling the urine stench. At first, I thgt is I think to much or mistaken the smell for some other things. After a while, I asked HX. She then started to smell the air. To other passengers on the bus, we sure look funny to them. But who cares. HX dim smell it at first. After awhile, she also smell it. The funny thibg is that, the smell comes in waves. And the level of stench differs from each waves.
So you can imagina that the ride home that day was a 'home sweet home' ride.
Fri - 7 Mar 08
Went down to musical today. I'm the earliest today. Even wilson is late. As HX had her interview today so she came later abit. But today almost everyone seems to have something. Either they are late or could not come. So seems abit wasted today. Till now, there is still not a full strength. Ivan, KY, Carl all came down today. All of them I have not seen them since the closing ceronomy. So we were having quite some fun together.
Went for dinner at the alumni together except for the juniors. HX n I n Jas had the similar food. Only Jas enjoy the food. Both HX n I find the food n sauces abit weird. After some talking, we settle the bill and left. Thanks to WM's reminder, we got the dictionary back. No one remember about the dictionary. If it is lost, I wonder what the consequences are.
HX also got a job already. And she is just starting two days later than me. So I guess the musical seems to be abit short of manpower.
Home Sweet Home.

Singapore is quite happening lately...
Do not read this. Its rubbish-vomiting post.
This happens a few days ago.
It seems that some people think too much of them(in my opinion).
I was in the train with my friends. I saw this guy and I kept stealing glances at him not because he is handsome but because he looks abit weird to me. I know I'm mean. But curoisty kills the cat.
So when he is about to alight, I noticed that his glances kept fickering to me. He was just standing beside us. And when I look over to his side (I dun look at one direction for long), he looked at me. His glaze also seems to suggest something as well.
I'm sure I did not interpret the glaze wrongly.

Wednesday - 3 Mar 08en
Went down for an interview at Raffles place. This time is an interview with the conmpany - The Bank of East Asia Limited. This is through another agency. R.E (not the actual name) does not seem to live up to its name.
I was abit lost in finding the place. Course the person said the building is behind Republic Plaza. So after reaching the back of the Plaza, I cant seem to find the building. Left with no choice, I have to seek help from the passer by. Even though, I make a point to reach there earlier, but then, as an street idoit, I managed to reach the company on time.
I was abit disappointed with the appearance of the company. Their operations office -those that you come in contact with the bank tellers, was so nice. But when I took the lift, I was already disappointed. The lift was not big and not so class as well. So went up to the office, was not what I expected. The toilet also not that nice. I guess only my inter company has the best appearance in terms of building and people.
Had an interview by the Fianace Dept. She sae some of her company things to me. The job scope. Finally she asked if wheather I had any qns. Actually I dun reali have any qns. But then to appear interested in the job, I have to ask. So I asked about their curency in their f/s. She seemed quite pleased. But then it can be fake cos they are quite experienced in interviewing others. Even if, they are not pleased, they would still smiled.
The interview ended in half an hour time. I had trouble finding my way back to the MRT station. On my way, I see that there isn't much eatries around to accomodate our budget. (I'm thinking of food already. Heex...)
In less than an hour time, the agency called back. I was thinking that this agency still got followed-up with their canidates. What good service they provide. I dim know that I was recurited. Below is the converation I had with the agency.
Agency (A): How was the interview?
Me (M): Erm... Okie I guess.
A: Did they tell you about their job scope?
M: Ya... (In fact, she explained alot to me though I couldn't understand all of them)
A: So, are you interested?
M: Ya. (This is a bank. After I leave, this will look good on my resume)
A: You are shortlisted by them. Congratulations. When could you start work? Tml?
M: Tml I cant.
A: How about fri? You still have your weekends with you...
M: I perferred to start on monday.

Received a call from Zy and we both discovered that we went for the same interview. She is just behind me. And guess what? Both of us are recurited. Ho Ho Ho... Friends woking in the same company. I have a friend there. Isn't wonderful. Found out form her that there are altogether 22 people applied for this job. I dim know that it is so competitive. And of these 22 people, only 4 are being recurited. I'm so lucky.

Received a call from MNC. She sounds quite interested in my resume. But then when she knows that I have a job offer already, she is abit angry. Course its I have wasted her time. But her voice sounds so nice. And her accent is abit american. I was abit awarkaward in my english. After that I went to hide from resume. She called later. Now I see that she is very interested in my resume. Furthermore, its located in JE - near to my house. A perm job some more. Waiting for her call.
I'm in dilema now.
You turned me into a doll.
Went down to the agency there with ZY in Raffles place there.
As she had a earlier meeting with the people, so I waited alone outside. Luckily, it was quite windy. If not, wearing formal wear out in the hot sun is quite hot.
The agency seems to be abit cheating. All the jobs that they mentioned in the internet are not mentioned when we meet up with them. In fact, they recommended us some other jobs.
Zy got it worst. Recurit express actually wanted to get her in. Since she is just looking for a temp job. So the people suggested that she might better off working with them. The basic pay is abit low but they cut a commission on the sucessful candidates that they refer to their clients. Other than this job offer, she was offered a job as an accounts assitant in SMRT doing A/P. Previsouly, I still joked that SMRT's P/L - Other Income will consists of fines receivables. But as for A/P, its like nth.
Anyway back to me, I'm to wait for the calls. Waiting is a pain.
After the interview, we went down to Bugis. As we reached there by 11, quite early, most of the shops were not opened yet. Finally, after rotting in KFC and Mac for so long, we decided to head to the village. Most of the shops were still not opened yet. We finally chanced upon one that we liked de, but then its not that nice. No shopping bags.
Chit-chatted for awhile. Found out from her that I been given a nickname by one of our classmates. Little Chilli Padi. As to what I done to truely deserve this name, I'm not that sure. Zy is nicked as Miss tomato - her face turns red easily, Miss ma is nicked as qian jin xiao jie - come from foreign country.
And the class outing that they have been planning is like still not on track. One of the guys even suggest going to a PUB. Imagine going to pub for class gathering. What's the guy thinking? Want to touch here and there? They even commented that cyclying is little kids stuffs. What's so great about going to pub? Furthermore, there is only 3 girls with about 6-7 guys. It's like 3 lambs in a pack of wolves. We might have to end up brushing off straying hands that cant keep to themselves. I can already imagine the seating arrangement. Zy will be made to sit next to ML. The rest I think you all are not interested.
