Finally i got a job @ singtel call centre @ serangoon s customer service officer. Nxt time in feb if u call 1627 u might hav a chance 2 tok 2 me. Haha. Pay wise is comparable 2 daren's n lummy's wan xcept less 1.50... Hweva, i will onli start wrk on 8 Jan onli which means i hav 2 cope wif 2 more wks liddat wif veri limited money 2 spend.
Hweva it is exhilarating for me 2 get a job @ last. S usual, i wld prepare a script n turn up 4 the interview. Guess i hav gone 4 alot of interviews liao which led to me being veri composed n relaxed. The interviewer was quite gd n nvr specifically make the interview difficult 4 me. It was quite conspicuous when she is veri interested in my Giordano wrking exp. Hweva, 2wards the end, it was a total sian ji bua ans tat she will onli giv me an ans by 1st wk of Jan...
So i was like quite disenchanted n left the place. The wk b4, my another recruit agency sent in my resume 2 Starhub 2 apply 4 this same job n they say starhub veri efficient n will get back 2 me within 5 days. Hweva, @ tat time they still had nt got back to me. B4 i came 2 tis interview, i alreadi felt wrking 4 starhub is far-fetched liao n nvr did i realise tat the situation will b the same after the singtel interview.
When i was on bus heading back 2 AMK, my fren frm the recruit agency called me n enquired abt the progress of my interview. I told him satisfactory but still waitin for singtel confirmation. Den 2 my astonishment, he said they accepted u liao n asked me 2 bring my bank bk n come 2 his office 2 sign the 6 mths contract. Testament to my exp in Giordano, guess i was thus given tis job ba. This totally enlivened up my gloomy day.I felt tat it is definitely preposterous if i stall tis contract n wait 4 starhub reply n let the foolish incident of lab tech n bank job recurred again. Hence, without much consideration, i headed dwn 2 my fren's office 2 sign the contract.
Intriguingly, another career agency no appeared in my hp. It ended up my another recruit agency called 2 tell me tat starhub wan 2 hav an interview wif me nxt wk. ARGH i almost bang my head on the wall. I wld b sufferin a loss of 100-200 bucks a mth, compared 2 the starhub job. Contract alreadi signed liao wad can i do. Suck thumb lor. Suay tat i miss out tis rare opportunity n yet lucky @ the same time tat both company offer me opportunities 2 wrk wif them.
Sian these few wks @ hme. Onli swim, gym, play rakion onli. Wad 2 do? No money 2 spend. Haiz... Luckily nxt wk start my cousin P5 maths tuition. @ least got something 2 occupy me more meaningfully. Anw guess the tuition i wont b chargin my uncle money ba. Abt 2 more wks 2 class chalet n my job. Pls intro me any veri temp job 4 one or 2 wks if u all hav any lobangs. Thx alot.

Nice movie. Muz watch. Sort of my childhood fav show. Haha my childhood so bloody rite. 1st five min of the movie. Will b released in 1st january 2008.
Just bought a new com wif my brother. Dunno y my bro wan 2 invest so much on the com but i onli pay him $300 bucks 1st. Rest i will pay him slowly n get him a watch oso but onli if i START WORKIN......
Haiz everyday rot @ hme or go gym. Bank acc left wif the pathetic sum of $9 onli... Lookin 4 job but 2 no avail. Guess it is my fault. Picky abt tis nt 6 mth contract, this pay nt $7 a hr dun wan... In addition, guess my luck nt there oso. Haiz this wk tot i can start wrk liao but 2 my astonishment no.
Last wk i went for a bank interview n they ask me 2 go hme wait 4 result... @ the same time, jeremy who is wrking s lab technician says his lab faces a shortage of manpwr n his manager is intending 2 hire another lab technician. Honestly speaking, I wld prefer the lab technician job than the bank job. Most imptly, It is related 2 wad i studyin in university, dealin wif lab wrk n chemicals. 2ndly, i can wrk with my fren.
Therefore i went for the interview. Suay suay the bank accepted me but i told them 2 wait s i realli need some serious consideration. At the mean time, the lab manager says he wld like 2 hire me but he needs 2 seek approval frm his president. Hence, i got 2 wait 4 his response n procrastinate my confirmation of the bank job 2 a later date. Very mean rite treat the bank job s a back up........ Yah n guess because of this i get my well deserved retribution....
The president wan 2 cut cost so cant afford 2 hire another lab tech. Guess he realli wan 2 fully max out the current employees in the lab... Guess he 4got abt the law of diminishin marginal return... Unfortunately, the bank cant wait liao n they got a PERMANENT staff 2 replace me...... 1stly, i tried 2 out smart the bank by makin the dire situation i facing advantageous 2 me, making the best out of it, tikin i got the upperhand... 事事难于意料，我的如意算盘结果被识破. In the end, i m just another gd learning example of loser... Haiz... It realli makes my day. Realli wan 2 bang myself against my wall. Angst n total disappointment... Wad a crisis.
Just apply for the call center job daren n lummy in nw n lookin 4 others oso. Hopefully can get in n start wrk frm jan 7. At the mean time, will b workin wif ghim kui some super temporary surveyor job frm fri 2 nxt tues which will fetch abt 200 plus ba. Better than nothing n @ least it will enable 2 survive thru christmas n new yr.
Anw yesterday went 2 aloha changi 4 the fitness reunion. Up 2 the J8 batch came back. So fast i m upgraded 2 the J4 batch. Quite a no of pple went back. (Gk, fujin, jm, andy, weehon, huihan, yenmei & vicki) Nice 4 all of us 2 meet up once a while 2 catch up with one another. It is realli heart warming 2 c hw fitness club has been successful for quite a no of yrs despite facin an ominous change nxt yr...
Anw fujin made a comment abt me which is realli right. It is abt me when i tok 2 others i will nt b able 2 maintain eye contact wan. I will just look dwn, left or right after a while no matter who i m tokin 2. Guess most of u all hav alreadi experienced tis b4 when tokin 2 me. I m nt tryin 2 b rude but tis has been bad habit since young but I will try my utmost 2 change, just like my spouting of vulgarities.
Haiz Eric ar Eric ar. This type of thing u cant do n u cant even get a job nw.... Get a grip on ureself ba....
