Comical Observations in a day
One morning, i woke up, did alittle zombie dance to the toliet and washed up. Went downstairs and chewed on tuna sandwitch and read newspaper. Eyes on the newspaper, right hand on my tuna bread and left hand scratching my dog's tummy. I looked at my schdule, today is gna be a busy day. 9am, gym at toapayoh safra, 11am job interview at Ngee Ann city, 1am run errand, and after, go to every job agency in International Plaza. Well time to set off then, ive gotta do more than sending hundreds of resumes to get a job, cause doing that only receive automated replies/replies asking for girls. Maybe i should wear a skirt to look for jobs next time. You know, this is what a automatic reply looks like :"Thank you for sending in your resume, the purpose of the email is to tell you that we have acknowledged your email. Only shortlisted candidated will be contacted" if thats the case, den TELL ME FOR WHAT???
I was standing on the train, smashed into the glass window of the door, it was full, or rather, the portions near the door was full. "Excuse me, i want to go IN THERE", i said as i pushed my way thr to the centre of the cart. It was spacious, cool and comfortable, and i heaved a loud sigh of relief...ahhhhhhhh. and soon, other fellow singaporeans joined me. Talk about sheep instinct. There was an empty seat, i was surprised, how can such a crowded train have a free seat. Nonetheless, i was about to place my suan butt onto it when i saw an old lady beside me, i told her, auntie ar, theres a seat there please(i gestured). She went there, and apparently, dere are some brown stuff on the seat(doesn't seem wipeable), it looks like what comes out from Exit B of my dog's alimentary canal. “小弟阿！！ 你以为这很好笑是吗？！？” Sorry sorry....wo men kan dao.....
Afew moments later, i received a call, it drowned my embarassment, but not for long. It was an agent asking for my details to work from home in a job. He needed to know if my computer can support a programme thats needed for work, so he asked whats my computer's operating system. While i was holding the phone, i was also standing in an act cool position looking at the mrt map on top. So i was just about to say my computer is Windows vista, but for some reason, i said, "Yes sir, my computer runs on Buona Vista." He hung up.....
Reaching Tanjong Pargar, where the main business district of singapore is located, streams of working adults whom looked stressed and tired zoom past me, walking very fast and briskly, seems to me like everyone here is in a rush, not like AJ wushu(hahahaha, influence of WOLS WC). So i glanced a the sign "tanjong pargar" and imagine it changed to "Kan CHiong pargar" cause everyone here seeems so kan chiong..
I reached international plaza, i went to ask for a list of job agencies and the infomation counter directed me to a "reputable agency" on unit #02-93. So i took the escalator up, its more like stairs luh, that escalator move slower than the snaily boy boy climbing up balestier hill, except the escalator won't roll down. So i reached second floor, i adjusted my shirt and cleared my throat, prepared to project a professional image when i enter the "reputable agency" i reached 02-93, it was a photocopy shop!!!!!! smaller, and dirtier than our bookshop auntie in aj. I stepped in, see the indian man asking me hello boy, how can i help you. i just step out, i walk one round just to double check, but it IS 02-93... okay so this time i asked, hello is this the job agency, he pointed to a stack of papers which contained the LIST of job agencies...ahhh now i get it....ok so i took one and left saying thank you. "boy, this one...not free eh....20 cent...i oso must make money know....now economy not so good......rent increasing......cost increasing....i got family to feed......hard to maintain a stall......etc etc..." ah okay i just put the 20 cent and quickly leave.
So i went all over the building, looking for job agencies, some were closed, some were moved, and the rest just gave me name cards and told me to email. Only 1 offered my a job, i was soooo happy and said i'll gladly take it. Details : night guard at tuas NTUC, 12 hour night shift, 3.5-4.5 an hour. "oh....Yes madam this sounds like a very interesting job where i can experience and learn many new skills" (MY FOOT) "I'll think about it and contact you if im interested." So i run v far. Basically, i wasted my time there..
The school called me saying they want me to go back for photoshoot for school magazine. Ms lim: " hey darren, we need you back for school magazine photo shoot, no problem right? okay, first i need to check with you, do you still have your hair?" Luckily it was a phone call cause i was totally like =.=" after i heard the word hair. "Yes i do, it is INTACT, BLACK, and not leaving my body any time soon." Its on 12th jan but i tink i have work on that day, so i don't tink i can make it. But i wanted to tell her i have bad skin problems and not so nice for photos, but before i could say :" we can photoshop your pimples away so don't worry" WOW LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......i don't know whether to feel touched or extremely pissed.
Oh in the end i got a job as a trainer, teach students IT stuff and robotics stuff etc etc. Nt bad hours/pay. Love it. I was surprised they dont' take girls cause of the tech savvy problems hahaha. They said "some girls don't even know how to on computer". Of course thats exaggeration, my female friends.....Woah its damm late alr, i have alot more things to say but i needa sleep, my next post will be about my dog(in detail) with videos and pictures. STay tuned...
