About Career Fair (In irritated mood now coz i typed about 3/4 of my entry today & wanted to copy so dat i can go brush just in case it gets erased off miraculously on its own, but my damn keyboard's "CNTRL" button is faulty, so my entire text got replaced wif a "c". SHIT>)

Was blogging about the Career Fair. Was at Suntec mending the company's booth this evening & in a short span of 4 hours, i managed to meet & see so many types of (weird) people.

Honestly, it's a lil' bewildering to noe dat dey r ur fellow singaporeans. -_-

(Type A) The Freaky Wanderer

Approaches mi wif fixated gaze, claims to have emailed mi his application sometime back as my name sounds familiar but yet can't be sure if it's me, then proceeds to accuse mi for not responding, even though the ad says "We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified." When i reply him, his sight wandered far far away island beyond mi. But when he speaks, he stares at mi wif bloodshot eyes & eventually reveals dat he IS GOING TO have a job soon.

(Type B) The Kay Pohs

Approaches booth wearily, scrutinizing the set up of the booth slowly, reaches out for our pamphlet & proceeds to read it intensely. Said person is able to stand in front of a row of consultants for a good 10mins, reading our pamphlet. When asked if he nids any assistance, he informs he's not looking for a job. Just being curious.

(Type C) The Loud Speaker

Leads a group of friends to approach our booth. Distributes our pamphlets to group of friends on my behalf. Repeats every sentence again after me, facing his group, as if his friends were not able to hear mi wif their own ears. Free promotion, i'm not complaining though.

(Type D) The Super Enthus

Walks INTO our booth, comes up close enough to breathe into my face telling me he is looking for a job. Automatically proceeds to show me his resume, folders of education certs & brochures of courses he intends to pursue. Hogs mi for at least 15min, asking plenty of qns as if i decide his career path. Speaks loudly & very appreciative of even the simplest comment. But proceeds to ask many many other qns as if the more qns he asks, the more free gifts he gets.

(Type E) The Cheapos

Obviously-just-passerbys deliberately detouring to ask for free mineral water we r giving out to our applicants, even though dey have no intention to stop at our booth. There's one lady who came back to us after 1 hour to ask if i could give her 1 pen. U shud hv witnessed the spectrum of vocabs she used to praise our pens. Of course, not gonna give it to her. Last year, i remembered a father sending his kid to ask for our pens while he stood some distance away watching & smirking. Of course, did not give it to her too. Total madness. I hate noisy kids.

(Type F) The Obnoxious

Referring to the neighbouring booth people. Asked if he could have our stickers consisting our Company's logo so dat he could fasten his booth's posters. (WAD THE.....) We shud have asked dem if we cud have their booth's flag (belonging to a particular country's, starting with 'A') to wipe our tables as dey r a lil' dusty.

(Type G) The Lok Koks

Digs out crumpled resume from dirty & old back packs, or retrieves resume from red plastic bags as if dey r selling fish in the market. Messy hair coupled wif lousy dress sense. Eg. Jeans or cargo pants wif black, big & rubbery sandals, revealing their long & dirty toe nails. Those sandals looked like dey were nvr washed before.

(Type H) The Non-Locals

Normally has a pleasant & humble attitude since dey r in a foreign land. But of course, their English are normally quite un-understandable.. I wonder how dey r even gonna get a job here when dey pronounce "O" as "Woh".

(Type I) The Suakus

Listens to EVERY single word i say intensely, eyes getting wider & wider like as if i'm speaking Puerto Rico lingo. Responses to everything with "Oh really???? I See!!!!"


There are actually more (weird) people but i wanto sleep oredi.

But U will be intrigued too. U really will.  ¶ J poppycocked at 10:34:00 PM
