on Monday, i felt so lucky to be offered with TWO jobs!

over the weekend, i had been job-hunting online searching for freelance/part-time graphic design or illustrator jobs. i came across a vacant job for an advertising company and i immediately e-mailed the person-in-charge. he responded within the next few hours, and very soon we arranged for an interview just last Monday. so to fast forward this story, Dear accompanied me for the interview and we were.. erm stunned (in a bad way) at the meeting place. i shan't describe in details on how the place was like except that the building itself (and the one next to it) reminded me of Lucky Plaza and Orchard Tower. and we aaaall know how those are like. =/

so the job is.. basically easy money. in a sense that, if i can find business people and convince them to advertise their business in our company's website at such low low price, i'd get a commision of 50%. so i did some calculations and found out that if i can close the deal for 5 clients in a day, i can earn approximately $200. ya see all your eyes now terbeliak already right. haha. so anyway, this job is also like, own time own target. it's all about my willingness to find clients and stuff. but the trouble is, this kind of job ain't for me. approaching people, convincing them.. i'm the sort that'd just say thank you and leave if the person refuses to accept what i'm offering. i don't really like to presuade a lot coz i know it's irritating and i don't want to irritate people. who knows, this kind of work could give me a bad karma and karma might just bite me in the ass at the end of the day. haha. so.. i left the place saying i'd give a it a thought or two -- when i already know i'm not gonna take this job.

we made a move after that, wandering aimlessly. by the evening, i received a call from iModels agency. you see, i was approached by one of their "recruiters" at Central some weeks ago. i refused to give the guy my contact details, but then i thought, ah heck, if they ever call me up i can always reject their offer. and the reality is, i never expected to get a call back. the person on the other line wanted me to come for an interview today but i refused. she said they need new faces to model for Starhub, Singtel etc. i don't give a damn la even if they want new faces to model for.. erm, Louis Vuitton? or whatever higher labels there are. i'm more of the behind-the-scene chick. haha cheychey. but in case there's anyone interested to try out, then by all means; go to their site which i've already linked above and give it a shot. but don't say i recommend la. pfft.

so. eventhough i rejected both job offers, it felt good to have been responded instead of left hanging high and dry. another two freelance design jobs which i've applied for are still currently pending for a response. i hope to get a call back for an interview though. *crosses fingers*

another set of news is from my dearest kuachickies.. yestreday afternoon i was bombarded with complaints from Has. she was bullied by Pe'ah and Fatin who seemed to have tagged team to bring her down, man. hahaha. and Shida suprisingly allied with them. poor Hasni. *shakes head*

now, the BEST news saved for last.. MY DEAREST AZRI PASSED HIS TP TODAY!! WOOHOOO!! :D he was all nervous and jittery since yesterday, not very confident. feeling he could pass, but what if he doesn't; you know, that kind of mixed emotions. i told him that if that's how he's feeling, he'll most likely pass, but borderline. chun chun gitu la. and indeed, my intuition was right!

but of course, he din't convey to me that piece of good news directly. he texted me saying he failed, his text message were full of angry words and exclamation marks. i was very doubtful, mind you. i know he likes to pull my leg all the time, so i wasn't sure if his "failure" was for real. but i gave him encouraging words anyway. when we met up just 3 hours ago, he smiled so wide and i KNEW he'd tricked me! hehe so happy for him. so happy that his parents helped pray for his achievement, so happy that he did some final revision, so happy that he did well for TP, and i'm sooo happy that he's the last of Goat to pass TP at first attempt, which means [insert name here] is the odd one out! (inside joke) mwahaha. i'm glad that all these motorbike practs fiasco is finally done. i don't care how soon he's gonna get a bike. just as long as i don't have to hear another, "sial lah, lambat sia nk pass motor."




i love porky!
