My colleague, G, is 24 n she has a flat with her bf n JSL, another colleague, is also ROM-ed. Wabiangz eh! And the govt is actly worried we dun get married early!?!? Everytime dey start toking about estate procedures, i'll blank out lo can?! Coz i duno a freakin' thing about all the buying a flat laws or rules so the ignorance makes it hard to contribute to the conversation.

I simply canot fathom the idea of getting tied down by one guy forever lo!! Why r dey or how r dey convinced dat it's time to settle down!??!? Huhh???? HUh??? HUHHHHH??? Wad did their bfs actly do to deserve such credibility n trust!!???!? I mean like.....HOWWWW????? Some of my candidates are reli young but dey r oredi mums n dey dun look a single bit like one?!

The idea itslf is insane lo! Dis is like laying ur head on the chop-board willingly...! Marriage is so god damn risky i tink the chances of turning into an overnite millionaire is much more plausible can!? GAH!!!~

  job hazards. Bsides the chaotic situation at work everyday, my health is suffering! I've been consuming so much coffee i tink when u cut mi, coffee might ooze out from my wound! As much as i tink coffee is a beverage dat reeks eroticism n is divinely gastronomical, it is common sense dat coffee isnt exactly a harmless drink. In fact, caffeine is a drug dat perks u up by altering the pathways of some cells in ur brain so dat instead of feeling exhausted, u will be hyped. Can't reli rber the details oredi but i noe the more u drink, the more u wud b immune to it, the heavier the dosage required to have the same perking effect s time goes by. Unquenched addiction will thus lead to withdrawal symptoms such as drowsiness, exhaustion, lethargy, edgyness and possibly fatigue.

Word has it dat coffee is not good for the bones and is extremely dehydrating (dat's y u shud alwaz drink a cup of water after u consume coffee or tea). It is also not good for the heart n it makes u perspire much more. I also heard dat too much coffee drains your immune system away......which xplains y i'm falling sick every nite these days. 4 some reasons, dis few nites, my useless nose will itch n i'll sneeze relentlessly when dat happens n somewhat after the 3rd sneeze, the useless nose will promote to become a runny nose. The runny nose will then lead to a blocked nose n i'll hv to sniff so hard to breathe dat after the 5th major intake of oxygen, i'll get a splitting headache. When the head throbs, i canot tink n bcomes nothing less than a groggy zombie. When the zombie in mi takes over, i'll feel like sleeping n b4 i noe it, the morning will come soon n i'll hv to inch my way to Tanjong Pagar again. URGH. And yes i'm fighting the zombie in mi rite now s i type dis. *sniffs*

Anyway 2day the "Toiletbowl Man" (abbreviated 'TM') called n i was the suay one who picked up the call.
Dialogue:

Mi: "Good afternoon, (company's name), Jay speaking!"

TM: "Helo..may i be ur toiletbowl?" (in ah neh accented English, n a voice like he juz breathed in a tank of helium)

Mi: ".....!! I'm sorry??"

TM: "I said...can i be your toiletbowl n can u sell me your shit n urine?"

Mi: "No i can't.."

TM: "Why not?? Everyday u flush away y not sell mi your shit n urine??"

Mi: "Bcoz i duno u."

TM: "Which means if U noe mi, u will sell mi your shit n urine?"

Mi: ".....Mayb? R u willing to come down to my office then?"

TM: "How much money must i bring then??"

Mi: "I duno..."

TM: "Can u sell mi your shit n urine??" (he attempted to repeat the faeces n pee transactional conversation again apparently)

Mi: "Ok Bye." (*karp*)


Seconds later, he called again n my colleague, WS picked it up n after listening for like 5 secs...........

WS: ".........Thank u for calling! Bye." (*karp*)


Within 4 secs later, the phone rang again. TM again.

TM: (inaudible dialogue)

WS: "U want me to call the police??" (*karp*)

  how i bcome the sore, rude bitch - mystery revealed. D called n msged mi yday. When he called i was in office n he called on the nokia fone so by the time i recognized the remotely familiar ringtone (bcoz nobody calls mi on dat line anymore), it stopped ringing.

Anyway he msged mi some hrs into the nite, offerring mi a part-time job. *wry look* Some alot of minutes later i decided to reply him, bcoz like wot i told Mo, rather than risk being called a sore, rude bitch by ignoring his msg, i rather be an aloof, polite one n reply him pithily. I proceeded to reply "I'm oredi working. Thx." Then he replied asking "As wad?" n i said "Recruitor".

And he asked mi a multi-million qns:

"Do wad one?"





-_- And i tot i can stop explaining wot i do since the term is quite self-explanatory, or so i tot.

"Wad part-time u have for mi?" I evaded the qns on purpose. I hate pp asking mi stupid qns btw.

"Heard of network mktg?" D replied.

"MLM?" I quipped, tried acting/sounding interested.

D: "My company is NTI, wad's urs?" (obviously mistaken the abbreviation, MLM, as some company's name....)


(N:B: Which is then i realised he is trying to offer mi a job in his company; it is hard not to read it as a thwarted intention to mandate seeing him everyday, altho he mite be offerring it out of kindness/sympathy. Gosh! Imagine the agony of eating lunch wif him EVERYDAY. Great, i just found another reason y i shud stab myslf in the eye.)


Mi: "MLM meanz Multi-Level Mktg."

"hahahahahahaha...something like that but a little different." D explained, uhh..helpfully, with compliments to the annoying, gut-squeezing hahahaha of coz.

"Gd luck wif dat." I answered patronizingly, wif intentions to end the conversation evidently.

But he replied nvrtheless, "So wad u wrking as?"

"Recruitor." Mi cooed again. Hope he noted the repetition.

"Doing?" Came the final straw.



So dat is how I dcided to be the sore, rude bitch. It might be ezier afterall.



Anyway, dat aside, isnt it tragic if somebody whom u alwaz regard as a good fren onli contacts u when she nids a favor?? Now i understand y Mo downgraded his said fren to a C grade.

OOOps! She did it again! She just msned mi n when i saw her msg blinking, the tot of her asking for another favor instantly struck w/o much deliberation. Hurhur..n guess wot?

I chose to be the sore, rude bitch again.

  update on my working life. Hey kids! Howdy!

2day is my 2nd official day n yday was reli horrible! Basically i was sitting on my chair like an idiot for moz of the time coz i duno wad is there for mi to do but read the material given 2 mi. When the fone rings, my hart sinks. Not dat the fone will chew mi up or stg, but the feeling of picking up a call not knowing who called n for wad is an ultra peevey idea. N after xperiencing call center jobs previously, i hv absolutely no desire to waste my life on more fone calls can!? Altho my colleagues hv been pretty nice to mi, i m utterly paisay dat i'm disrupting their wrk. I m oso totally apprehensive to the idea of asking dem dis n asking dem dat lo....like i m totally irritating can!??! But i cant help it lo! I reli duno a fugging thing lei!

And instead of greeting "Gd Morning! XXXX (company's name) Jay speaking!" There was once i actly said "Gd Morning...(pause)...XXXX...(pause)...Jay speaking.." when my mgr was standing rite nxt to mi. N i almoz felt a stab by her projected icy stares. Basically i was trying hard to process wot i shd rber to say n my reflex action to promptly pick up the fone once it rings often leave mi stumped for wrds when i m on the receiver...Ack.

Ok...for the juicy bits! ( I tot i saw faces lighting up...) 1st, the bad news: for pp who didnt noe yet, i'm surrounded by gurls. The nearest males to mi in the office r both in the 3rd division. ( Notice i used "BOTH".) So, no yandaos lo! We r mainly divided into 2 divisions, n for mine, i oni hv 2 immediate colleagues, G n M. As G is more experienced, she was put in charge of coaching mi. But I m almoz certain dat she feels threatened by my presence can!? She seems frenly la, but my gut feeling tells mi my mgr has placed her to interact wif mi so she can report to her all my comments regardg the job wadsoever...Bleah...

2day i actly had lunch wif G n the mgr. Errr...it was not reli of my choice coz dey juz say "eh!come let's go eat!" n i juz blur-ly tagged along. I hv not lunched wif M yet. Wot happened during lunch was dat i was pretty quiet ( i noe la..rare rite?! ) coz G was telling the mgr some inside topics like the concert she attended blah n the blah n she wento duno where to swim on sunday blah n the blah her bf said so n the so blah n the blah...I'm not reli interested la pls!!! Altho G has been tiching mi quite alota things, she is of different frequency la huh...so whenever she chats outside wrk, i switch off. Hurhur...let's juz say dat the topics she tinks r worth mentioning r so insignificant n trivial 2 mi can!??! Uhh...i duno if she sensed i was not listening but hey! I did make effort to hide my "O do u reli tink i care???" face okkkk!!

Ok so the air was pretty stale b/w us 3 la huh...so stale the mgr actly tried to make small talks wif mi, asking mi cliche qns, soooo cliche it practically dripped wif passe-ism. Samples: "wad do u do in ur free time?", "Do u watch XXXX programs?" etc. *rolls eyes n fanz myslf prima-donna-ly* PAH! Thk gdness the lunch was oni 1 hr n not 1 hr n 5 min. I mite not hv lasted the xtra 5 min.

Rite now bcoz i'm still new, i dun reli hv clients of my own. Instead, i m assisting G to fill up her orders, so in a way, i'm helping her get more money for HERSLF bcoz of the mthly "quota" we hv to mit. In a way, it's gd i can b of help but in another way, i'm like helping her do HER wrk. Hurhur...i shd learn faster n den kick her off the chart. Hoho! I m the evil bitch!!! Hoho! I dun care!! N i'm not gg to b stuck to dis job for 2 long. Bsides, dey aren't reli angels demsvles anyway.

*snortssssss*

  bye life! The fateful nite has finally dawned. (Wait, isnt dat oxymoronic?!) So much for my poetic effort. Anyway, i hv to drag my gurlie ass to wrk 2mr. I wanted to add in "Finally" but it wud seem like i hv been longing for wrk, of wch i'm not, evidently.

In fact, i m so fugging dpressing now i tink i mite juz drop dead. Dis is the exact shitty situation i din wanto go thru; starting to get blue on Sunday bcoz of the dreadful oncoming of a working Monday. Dis is so fugging annoying....pp shd wrk oni when dey wanto!! Everybody! Say HELL YEAH!!!

I duno wot got mi, perhaps the predictable lost of copious freedom, perhaps the foreseeable office politics i may potentially b entangled in2, perhaps the peanuts i wud b gettg at the end of the mth despite wrking my ass off like a retarded cow.

The constant wail for more independence and wealth notwithstanding, it doesn't mean i cant fugging bitch abt how bleddy unbalanced i m rite now. Not dat i wanto b difficult, but there r so many things in life dat i wan but do not hv now dat i cant stop but grimace at how pathetic i m s an individual, for i am doink ntg abt those unfulfilled aspirations cept to type away furiously on my keyboard n irritating fellow blogders wif dis enraged entry.

Yea yea...i hv heard soooo many similar comments abt giving the job a try n who noes i mite like it..yada yada...but it wud b much much better if my dilemma is more empathized on. Dis wud b ezier to explain if i can b more succint tho...pardon my lack of vocabs n appropriate xpressions. I tink i mite b suffering frm a "temporary lack of articulation AND brains" for dat matter.

Hold on....i tink i m too overwhelmed by dpression now dat i cant reli blog smoothly, despite wanting to. Perhaps i shd blog when i m feeling sounder, if there is such a word. Meanwhile, i shall list down a few of my many wishes.

1) More wealth. ( trust mi, dis IS the oni fugging reason y i'm takg dis rubbish job. So dun come tellg mi patronizg stuff like i'll learn to like it, coz i m confident at best, i'll learn not to hate it.)
2) More happiness. ( oni achievable if no 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 are achieved.)
3) Pink health. ( for everybdy ard mi s well.)
4) Beauty. ( dat precludes being slimmer n not hving fugging pimples, plenty enuff to devour mi alive!)
5) My own room. ( a wish dat has been unfulfilled for eons now.)
6) A cat i call my own. ( dis will almoz b impossible s long s those hideous n useless luohans r still around....)
7) And at the risk of soundg bimboistic, WORLD PEACE. (Stop fighting!! u fugging moronic idiots!)

Ok dat's it for now. I hv to continue to mope over my sad life....or veri soon, wud b the veri lack of it.

  life without U...... ...is sad. U hv kept mi company till indecent hrs of the nite, n entertained mi tirelessly during quiet, lonely afternoons. Bcoz u faithfully acceded to my commands n subject urslf to my beck n call, ur significance is made even more prominent now dat u r gone. Life wud nvr b the same without u n even thou u stil chose to leave mi prematurely, i will miss u greatly n ur force will alwaz b wif mi. Thk u for ur service, dear Motherboard. N to frenz who sent their condolences, thk u to u all too. Heh.

Heh...hi kids! I'm bck...using lappie now. S previously announced by Mo, my motherboard died. Bro blamed mi of coz, since i m the 1 using it moz of the time. He deems my usage s abuse apparently, saying dat i over-used it n didnt gif it time to rest dats y it committed suicide. Bull!!!! When i rebutted dat he abuses it s well, he defended by sayg at least he oni abuse it once or twice a week! Wad the fish...liken to the theory of killing; u kill 1 person u r a murderer, u kill 9 more u r STILL a murderer..so even tho he uses it less, he contributed to the death of the pc too wot!!? Bahhh....typical case of stewpid bro accusing victim sis. Uhh..so many things not here..mp3s, fotos, bookmarks n wallpapers...feel handicapped manz. O well, i guess dis beats hving no computers to use at all.

Got ruthlessly woken up by fonecall dis morning at 9.20 am. Sbdy lookg for my aunt who is not here. Went bck to slp n 5 mins later, fonecall again. Same woman askg mi to help her locate my aunt coz she is at her dr n nobdy is responding. Told her i shall try callg her hp, she asked if she cud hv my aunt's hp no. Told her i shall try n get bck to her later. She said ok. I called my aunt on her mobile n she said the woman's tryg to sell her crystals so juz ignore her n my aunt'll c to the matter. Said ok n i went bck to slp. 15 min later fone rang again, but oni for a while n stopped juz when i managed to balanced myslf on my feet. Rang again after i positioned myslf bck onto the bed. It's aunt. Said the woman's probly tryg to get her unit number coz there's nobody at the dr. Wait, how did she get my house no in the 1st place!?!? Wadever. Went bck to slp oni to b woken up again some 10 min later. The saleswoman. Asked mi how n i said i cant locate my aunt coz her hp is not on. She said ok thx. For the umpteenth time now, i crawled bck to bed n my hp rang dis time. Was Mo. Told mi his lessons ended early. Ok anybdy in the rite mind wud hv lost it by now i tink but being the gd-natured mi (wahaha), i didnt vent my plight on Mo of coz (or at least i tink i didnt)...hehehe..juz told him in my moz pitiful n exasperated tone dat i wanto sleeeepppppp...Uhh but the mood for the rest of the day is pretty much a different story.. hehe..well...cant blame mi rittttte??!?!?!?!

Ehhh...did ntg much 2day. Watched half of Ocean 11 n half of Rush Hour 2..too bored. Wanted to visit the Robinsons sale 2mr but Pin had to call it off coz she fell ill n hv too much wrk to do. Ahh well....the whines n woes of a student. Hoho..caught Sg Idol juz now, Sylvester is simply adorable. Altho he's a blondie now, he's stil a hottie. Hurhur..nice earrings!

  taking my chances. Juz s the clock struck 12 noon, i made the dcsion - I took up the offer.

It must b fate i cudnt rch Akemi san at JAC to get more details abt the travel agency job. After a gd long tok wif my brother in the morning b4 i made my dcsion, he managed to sway my inclination (he can consider changing profession to sales or stg...). It is true dat i may not like the job dat much but at least i'm gettg paid n plus the xperience gained will defnly b invaluable. Who noes? Mayb it cud aid mi in gettg my dream job later on...I shud probly oso b grateful i got a job offer at 1st shot.

The GM has a point in saying "If u dun hv passion n interest in dis line, den pls dun join us." I was pinky close in rejectg the offer bcoz dat sentence kept ringing in my head. I've even tot thru the contents in the "Thank U" card i was to send later on after rejectg the offer. It'll probly b along the lines of "Thank u for all the advices u have given mi, cudnt agree wif u more. Dat is oso y i wudnt b joining the big family." Eliz's advices r interesting, she said stg like it dpends on how u pysch urslf to like the job, i like her idea but I firmly bliv dat life will b more meaningful oni if u hv natural passion in wad u do for a living. I told my brother dat if i merely wanted money n xperience, i cud hv gotten a job hoots ago, dun reli hv to wait till now.

It is alwaz a gd thing to pursue ur aspirations but stimes the bank account reli matters more. Wif peanuts in my bank account, pursuing a dream will b a luxury. At the risk of sounding totally money-faced, say even if i get my dream job now, but i get meagre remuneration, i probly wudnt take it either. At the end of the day, money still matters. In fact, it matters to a v large extent. For anytg, i wudnt mind slping in the office if i get 3 times more salary...haha.....*cashier sounds ringing in the bckgrd...Kchnnng! Kchnnng!*

I'll b starting wrk on Monday, reporting at 9 am, Int'l Plaza...so for those in the vicinity, lets mit up for lunches ok? Evidently, i hven mastered the art of eatg alone in public yet...Heh.

  job. I tink i did xtremely bad for the intvw coz the GM was totally mercilessly drilling mi. The situational qns she posed reli made mi gourged out my brain n place it on the table while using a magnifyg glass to peer at my opened up brain for the answers. For the 1st time in my life, i received a feedback of hvg slow reaction. Well, given the fact dat i was totally clueless b4 the intvw wot to prepare, i was certainly taken aback by her brashness n aggressvness. During the debriefing session, she described mi s not hving my flow of tots there n while she blivs i seemed to b quick-witted up there, i looked like i was suffering frm a "temporary lack of articulation". Her xpections of my buffer period to react was stg like 2 secs...of wch i probly took 3 more. O n she oso commented dat i hv an xpressive face, so she cud tell when i'm interested n when i'm bored, s she said she cud c the beam in my eyes when stg interests mi (uhhh?). While i rated myslf 2/5, I was rated 3/5 for the overall intvw, n told dat i was capable of 4.5 (Heh?!). O n wif my sign i.e. gemini, she xpects mi to b quicker than the rest...(Huh?!)

Anyway, despite faring crap for the intvw n not being able to ans moz of her killer qns, i tink she is a gd role model to look up to. Well, she must hv been thru all sorta shitty situatns durg her 17 yrs stay wif Adecco to make it to where she is rite now. For one, i walked away wif no morale left but full of admiration for dis lady. Nevertheless, dey r offerring mi the job (Wot?!).

I'm still tinking if i shd take it up....m totally twirled up up there now..if there's any left after a hardcore intvw n 3 hrs 45min of tuition....my guts r telling mi dun, but my rationality is tellg mi to take it. Goshhhh.....is it supposed to b dis hard 2 dcide everytime??? If it is, i'm so darn screwed.

  the phase. Wednesday Nite
As recommended by JL & Kit, i finally budged n registered online wif Adecco n JAC.


Thursday Morning 10.10 am
I was woken up by Edlyn from Adecco. She called to verify my registration n told mi to take a test she will b emailing mi shortly. In a semi-conscious state i took the bleddy test, stg to rate my eye for finer details. Was almoz certain i did crap s my reaction was probly slower than my granmama's.

Anyway, shortly after, she called again n offerred mi two jobs; 1 temp 1 perm. The perm is a customer svc related job where i nid to receive clients frm HK, Taiwan, China etc so obviously good mandarin is a pre-req. I turned down the offer bcoz the location is in Yishun wch is not a v convenient place 4 mi n the company is dealing wif semi-conductors, of wch i hv 0 knowledge in n 0 interest to learn abt. And bsides, if i wanted my life to revolve ard PRCs, i cud hv juz applied for SOC in the 1st place. I didnt even ask for the pay..haha..The temp job is admin in Adecco itslf, $6/hr n the location is in Jurong..obviously i beamed upon hearing dat. Bsides, it'll at moz stretch for 1.5 mths only. She requested to mit up the very afternoon so i went for my very 1st intvw, albeit wif a recruiting agency. Heh. Well, b4 i noe it, she was offering mi another job; perm at Adecco, Personnel Consultant.

While i was at Adecco, David frm JAC rang. He requested for an intvw on Fri morning. I told Edlyn i wudnt mind giving the job a try so she arranged for a 2nd round of intvw wif the mgr at Int'l Plaza on Fri noon for mi coz the Tanjong Pagar branch is more in nid of pp.

Friday Morning 10.05 am
For fear of being late for my 11 am appointment wif David, i've dcided to stab myslf in the hart by taking a cab. S if i'd incurred the wrath of Tai Ko Sin, AYE had a huuuuuge jam due to accident involving 5 or 6 vehicles. 3 lanes were closed bcoz of dat n bsides hving to stop myslf from gifing the cabby uncle a "kanachee" frm behind (read: bcoz of his incessant grumbles), i had to call JAC to inform dem of my possible late arrival. (read again: i risk hving to carry a signboard chained across my bck stating "LATECOMER" s u noe how peculiar Japanese r abt punctually...) So, Strike 1 for Jay. When i rched JAC, i was probly 5 min late but the bleddy receptionist was totally attitude s she cudnt seem to b bothered to guide a flustered person around. It wasnt like 45 min later i got to mit David n his p'ner Minami. Dey r pretty nice people but when dey started to pi li pa la wif mi in Japanese, i blanked out. I had no idea dey were gg to test my proficiency so all i cud gag out was either "hai" or "iie". Although i could understand all their qns, i certainly didnt pass off s a veri proficient speaker. So, Strike 2.

The intvw wif the Adecco mgr went alright, minus the fact dat i was oredi half dead after the 1st intvw n plus the stupid cot shoes were totally murdering my feet. I hv a 3rd round tmr wif the GM of Adecco at Orchard n i hv no idea wotz coming up. I hv a feeling the remuneration wud b under my xpectations tho. N i certainly noe dat i wun b able to wear the appropriate intvw shoes 2mr bcoz of my poor mutilated lil' toe. I'm totally lame now, physically.

So, ladies n gentlemen, boys n gurls, take dis from Jay: Invest on ur shoes. Being a cheapo will oni reap u bruises, blisters, torments, sufferings, limpings, pains, pus, defaces, mutilations......did i say bruises oredi?

p/s: JL, i feel for u...
