Thursday...
Funny. Funny.
I was reading my tagboard and the sudden immense urge to reply to sayuri, then I thought, what the heck...lets make it into a post. As i further read my tags, I finally understood what ms.secretary was mentioning with regards to chicken wing and batu lesom. Haha. I am so SLOW. She tagged it because of my craving for nasi ayam penyek. & here was this fool thinking what does chicken wing and batu lesom got to do with my horrendous handwriting. =P
Funny. Funny.
Its been definitely an amusing ride these few days. Its not that emotional but I guess its due to the activities I've had. Like I said, waking up at 5am continously does help. =)
Thursday morning was the interview where I had to write my 'homework' essay. Bloddy hell, they made me wait so long, this small office. There I was crammed up in 5 seats together with 4 other ladies. & to think I came the earliest but why was I being called up only in the middle...Oh the others were wearing bras & panties. Haha. I so feel like sidetracking and posting mr.Teacher's incident and joke about boobs and bras.
Anyway for those that had been to recruitment agencies, you'd know that some are very professional while others seem very slipshot and are not really interested in matching us with suitable jobs but eating our commission. Hey I cant comment much since its a living anyway.
The agency I had gone to on Thursday seemed quite professional. They even had a software which determines our working aptitude. We just keyed in certain numbers based on their pre-defined set of questions and ta-dah the graph determined that I was a Determined and Initiative type of person whos Compliance was highly questionable. Haha. When I was finally interviewed, the interviewer - lets call her
A, straight away told me that what I had applied to was quite far off from what my key attitudes defined me. Hmmm.
A went further into trying to persuade me to join ...the
INSURANCE industry. Argh!!!!
I was flipping in my mind when I heard her say this. Time to do the old table flipping and there I was ranting on attributes as to why I shouldnt be in the
INSURANCE industry and how I dug up my past, with a tinge of tear in my eyes haha, to re-evaluate the story as to why I was suitable to the post I had originally applied to.
...2 days later......Haha. Its not 2 days later but by the end of the interview,
A told me theres going to be a follow up interview selection on Saturday. It was like a tea party cum mingling with other candidates and other interviewers.
Though in my mind, I was happy that I managed to go for another set of interviews, I was like thinking
WTF. Peanuts pay and you make me go through so much...?!? And a tea party for just an executive position ? People would have thought that I was shorlisted to be a PAP member. Haha. Decked out all in white from head to toe. Wait, I already did that in Dunman right =P
So oh well, I used my negotiation and persuassion skills (which ironically A said I had and was useful for
INSURANCE) to good use to try to offer myself a higher starting salary, which Im still not happy with the basic though.
*ponders*oh so Funny. Funny.
...I'm on a roll. I shouldn't stop.
The mates wanted to meet up and when I say mates, its routinely sgt hotstuff, mr.teacher and me. As normal, only 1 of us had an activity so off we went to get sgt hotstuff's new race suit. Shit you know, I was green with envy when he bought that Alpinestar racesuit. He even showed me one colour scheme which was so BEAUTIFULLY MATCHING with my ROSE. Argh. I need a job fast with cold hard cash!!!
Oh and when we went to eat, we met an old classmate, Farhana or better affectionately remembered by me as Minah Current(read current as in Ampheres but pronounce in the malay slan, Karen). Haha. Sorry yar
=P and she actually asked me with regards to my December date.
*slaps head* Gosh she actually believed that. I just gave her the date
12-12-12 and she took out her calendar in an instant. Haha. FYI.
12-12-12 is not a weekend and so is not
11-11-11. Gee...
I didnt think so many people would take that notice seriously. Gee...& according to ms.Devilicous, the money that I have in hand right now is not enough to hold a wedding. She even gleefully and of course to my understanding jokingly asked me to spend it on a new sports bike. We only live once she says.
...Yah thats a phrase that keeps echoing in my mind.
We only live once.I shouldnt waste in too much on reminiscing, being sad and waiting ...right ?!? Chin up and GO!!!Oh...oH the emotional side of me is reminding the 13th is approaching :(
when darkness turns to light @ 1:58 am
