  Life-Changing.
O gawwwddd...i m feeling miserable...(Wot's new?)

Of the 10 veteran Secretaries i've sent to Heineken for shortlisting, now dey r asking mi to make the decision of axing 3 whom i tink r the "weakest links". Which means these 3 will not even make it to the gates of Heineken, much less enter.

Dis is agonizing. I DUNCH LIKE it.

I almost feel responsible for the candidates' fate. Seems like wotever decision i make, it cud potentially be a life-changing event for some people out there.

Aaaargh.

And the happening part is, I have to decide by tomoro. O gawdddddddddd.

So please...dun say i didnt warn u, when u r looking for a job thru an agency, u better BE NICE to your consultants okkkkk....dey can make or break u!

Do U oso noe dat we have the authority to boycott people??

I'm serious. So, BE NICE.

Anyway, speaking of life-changing, on the afternoon of the Sunday dat just passed, I received a call on my old mobile line, apparently from dis ah neh sounding lady from NKF.

(Btw, I hate being called on the old line as i dun hv free incoming call on dat plan..
#*^&%!$><@!)

Anyway dis lady greeted mi in an almoz dramatic & insincere manner, altho it didnt reli matter as half the time, i cud barely comprehend the unearthly slang she was using.

I tell u i hate it when dey call every year to ask if dey cud send mi a donation card. It alwaz makes mi feel darn guilty of being incooperative/non-charitable/a self-centred ass.

But I didnt allow dem to send the card to mi last year & i'm not about to gif in dis year either.

It's not dat i m being evil or wot, but i simply do not feel comfortable asking people for money, not even for a gd cause.

Moreover, since i'm oredi wrking, i wudnt have the netwrk to ask for donations as well, so i explained to her dat it wud be real odd if i were to bring the donation card to office & start 'soliciting' for some moolah.

She tried to persuade but i refused to budge from my stand.

So she asked instead of the card, cud she send mi dis cheque for mi to fill in so i cud make a personal donation instead & dat any amount wud be alrite.

Well, i tot since i hv more means to be a Samaritan now & i dun hv to go around asking for donations, dat wud be a better idea so i said 'OK'.

But after ending the call, i suddenly got hit by a realisation.

I clearly recalled dat prior to my employment, i had emailed NKF to cancel my "Life Saving" membership so dat dey wud stop deducting MY money from MY bank account. I seriousy tink dat being unemployed & being philanthropic doesn't seem to be the bestest combo on Earth.

I even received a confirmation email later to tell mi dat the contribution had officially been deactivated from my account. Dey even thank mi for my continuous support all dis years.

Dey didnt chastise mi, how nice of dem, i tot.

But the flashback scene: when the lady called, she unmistakenly said "Thank you for your monthly contribution to NKF TILL DATE..."

Wait a minute.................!!!!!

Does dat mean dey did not process my request all dis while!??!

DARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To tink i hv been an avid supporter of the Life Saving Program for all dis years & dis is how dey repay my loyalty!? I dun even use the card to redeem any free gifts hor!

FUG. I hv to keep reminding myself it is all for a good cause.

And i finally received the said mail from NKF yesterday & guess wot?

When i opened the mail, out came the Donation Card.

-_- Thanx leh.
