NTUC IN(here i)COME!! :DD

i went for the interview today! ok well actually, it's not the typical interview where you have to go in an office & be questioned & all. it's pretty casual & informal to be exact. i woke up at ard 7:45 in the morning & got ready. had to wear my Jack Purcell pumps which eeek! is so.. erm.. bwtdcbek! haha. well i looked so lady-like lah today ok, with my hair pinned-up at the sides & all. sheesh. but for a job's-first-impression's sake, had to. ohwell; at least no blisters seen. :]

met nadiah & her bf rizman at Jurong East & off we went to the NTUC Income building at City Hall. had to fill in a form the assistant gave us & after a short while, she came back saying that they only have one vacancy left. you see, when nadiah first contacted one of her colleagues there (nadiah used to work there during the mid-yr hols), she said there arent many vacancies for september; prolly just 2, or none at all. but we took a shot anyway but only to be disappointed that only 1 slot is available. unlike the job that nadiah used to do the other time, which was just doing some simple printing & filing of documents, this one is as a promoter. selling stuff, blabla. but the job is still to be done in an office, not in public. so it's like if theres anyone who comes into the office, all i gotta do is just ask if the person's interested in the product, & arrange any necessary things for his purchase.

they wanted to give the job to nadiah coz it's at NTUC Income's Jurong branch & she lives ard there, but since she refused, i took it. coz i. need. money. im not being a moneyface ok, i just have reasons to save some cash! HAH. im actually pretty nervous for the job to be honest. i mean i still have some doubts playing ard my head while the woman was talking abt the kind of job im expected to do. & besides, this requires talking to customers, to random people. & i admit i still need to work on my interacting skills to & ard people. but i guess im ready for it in some ways. i mean im not like totally shy to talk to everyone. just sometimes & depends on the situation? yeah.

another woman, mdm tina, whom we're supposed to see in the first place, said i'll have to come back tmr in the morning. to be an 'invigilator' & observe other people in the office doing tests. & then i think im supposed to do a test myself. typewriting test i guess? idk. coz when we were abt to leave, the assistant who assist us earlier called out to mdm tan & made an interpretation of someone typing. she was wriggling her fingers in mid-air, lol. i dont mind doing a typewriting test! i love typing! thats why you see most of my entries are normally so long (& it's also because im long-winded, heh).

cant wait for tmr. :]

Dear in the other hand, is having great lucks with job-hunting too. he decided to work as movers, loading & unloading furnitures frm the lorry into the homes of the people who moved house. tiring work i know, but the pay is pretty good. he left for work an hour before i did today (it's his first day) & faiz (classmate) works alongside him as well. at least he wont be the only new worker there. unlike me. -_-" he's prolly carrying shitloads of stuff now, coz earlier when he text-ed me he said he was tired, busy, etc. too bad for rizman tho, coz he was the first to apply for the job, followed by Dear & faiz. but somehow, he who asked first ended up not getting the job at all. even Dear felt guilty abt it. & so was i! coz nadiah recommended me the job at NTUC & in the end, i took it. heh. eh but she's the one who dint want it. so.. not my fault right? :x

so. another problem here. what to wear? or maybe what shoes to wear? i cant possibly wear my sneakers. can i? nadiah said the dress code is pretty much formal, jeans arent allowed, yadayada. but since im posted to the Jurong branch, do you think it's any different? haiya. & if i have to wear pumps, i'd better buy myelf one coz my sister's dont fit; & hope that i dont get countless horrible blisters at the end of the month. man, it's hard being a grrl.

& talking abt month, i'll be working for 4 weeks. now here's another problem. my hols are left with 3 weeks now. meaning out of the 4 weeks of work, the fourth week is already the first week of school when it re-opens. so how how? sigh.

will discuss it with Dear later. for now, both Dear & i have t focus on our new jobs, as the money earned will be spent oh-so worthwhile! & i can bet you on that! N73 here i come! :DD

to my dear friends whom i sent an SMS abt the non-halal High-5 bread, sorry abt that. it was just a fraud. an attempt to sabotage the High-5 company, the way i see it. i got the message frm my mom as early as 6:18am (i dont understand why she had to sms me that early -_-"), so i forwarded it to you guys. then when i checked Berita Harian, there was a small article abt the bread saying that false information abt the bread had been passed ard through emails, etc. so yeah. High-5 is halal, so screw the rumours & my sms. lol. sorry.
