woke up super early today feeling hungry. and also anxious for the interview. it started to rain as i got ready, then it was a slight drizzle as i stepped out of the house to Bugis. as soon as i reached Bugis, it was still drizzling. good, coz i ain't got an umbrella with me. i assumed i know at which area CreativeBITS is, but being such sotong, i retraced my steps and walked the opposite way and got lost. -__-" and it's not helping that the rain started to pour heavily! D: i asked around for directions, and i think the auntie gave me a wrong one. either that, or i misunderstood her. either way, i kept on walking to wherever i thought was suitable for such a company to be located at. and that's when the rain poured 10× more! gah i was sooo frustrated. and it was like 10mins to 11, the appointed time for the interview. i couldn't just dash across the road in that kind of rain, so i called CreativeBITS saying i'll be late, bla bla bla. the rain still din't die down one bit, until it's around 7mins past 11. i decided i couldn't wait any longer, so i just sprint across 2 roads, and finally reached the place.

a guy came down to assist me, and i was told to fill in a form. once done, we discussed about the type of job they do there. so here's the scoop: i'm aware that they teach/train kids in professional softwares like Adobe, but i wasn't aware that the teaching is at the school of those kids! imagine, if the school is located at, say, Pasir Ris -- WHOA. my ez-link is just gonna DIE i tell you. or maybe just my mom's wallet. -__-" but nevermind, that one not so bad. at least i'll be earning some cash at the end of the day, and experience.

the second thing is, CreativeBITS not only teach primary school kids (coz i assumed CB only teach kids of that level or below) but also secondary school kids! and y'all know how sec school kids are like. no offence, i was once a sec school kid too, duh. and some kids these days are just stubborn. the working hours are great, but then i started to feel like i should back out.. idk. i was being quite honest to the guy about my confidence when it comes to teaching, especially since that i've never had any teaching experiences. i have a feeling i might not be able to get the job when he said he'll call me back if i'm shortlisted. but now i feel like i still WANT the job. aalamaaaaaak fickle kan aku niii! hrmph!

Dear ended school early today, and the timing was just perfect. he was done with school when i was done with the interview. so i window-shopped around Bugis for a mo while waiting for him to text me so i can start to make my way to the 1st cab to meet him. and, as soon as he reached home, he was 'greeted' with a bad gross news from his rat.. one of the 2, died today. the gross bit is, the other one who lived, was eating the dead one! wait wait there's more: the living one was eating/chewing the head of the dead one! Dear got too freaked out by it. but very soon, he picked up the dead one and he saw the brain, and the insides of its head omgggg it's like sick la when he told me all that! i swear i was shrieking with disgust. we still don't know the cause of its death, though.

it's sad to know another rat dies. now left only 1 in the tank. wah survivor seh. but i bet, very soon, that particular survivor will also die coz she's all alone in the tank. rats live and survive longer in a community. meaning that there must be at least 2 rats living together in the same cage/tank, or else they can just die. it's like, they need company. so yeah. tsktsk.

all sadness aside, here's a joke:

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked a young applicant fresh out of Business School, "So what starting salary are you looking for?"

The applicant said, "Around $100,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to 20 days of paid leave, full medical and dental, the company matching your retirement fund to 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every two years - say, a red Suzuki Swift?"

The applicant sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."
