I've missed out too many days and my fingers will most
probably end up with sores due to excessive typing. Haha.
Although it has been 4 days since I last blogged, alot has
been happening and I'll try to recall as much as I can alritey? :)
Friday, 21 August 2009
------------------------
Started off the day as usual, the real activity only happened
in the evening.
I had an interview with Ace-Daytons, this company that deals
with conferences, the ins and outs.
It was at 6pm.
Therefore I had the privilege of having Bay to accompany me
for my interview at Redhill. Can you believe it? The place that
I went for an interview was at Thye Hong Centre, just opposite
SIS building, the previous place I used to work at as an Editorial
Assistant. What a coincidence, considering the fact that my cousin,
Junior used to work at Thye Hong Centre as well. Now he's working
as a insurance agent at Singapore Shopping Centre, just beside Park
Mall that I've worked before too. Haha.
Bay didn't want to go up with me,
therefore I went up myself.
The lift took really long just to reach the 1st floor. :/
When I arrived at the 4th floor, I realised that this
company was quite huge in a sense that they took
up most of the space on the 4th floor, almost half I suppose.
Apparently, it's a good thing as it goes to show the company
is expanding well. Haha.
I was greeted by Stella, probably the MD's personal assistant.
I was asked to fill up the application form and I was seated
beside 2 staffs who were discussing about an event and all
that needs to be taken care of. I didn't really felt that it was a good
idea to sit beside them coz being the usual me, I'm always eavesdropping.
It was not intentional, it just happened. LOL.
After filling up the form, I was brought to another room,
the interview room I suppose. It was like a maze, there were many turns
to take and finally and the very corner, a room evolved.
It was all neat and practically empty with not much furnishing.
Just a phone at the side of the table. Haha.
Stella told me to wait for awhile while she went to get Nancy (MD).
She was a nice lady, she told me about the company, what they do,
what is expected and the cold hard truth about high stress level in
the company while I was waiting for Nancy to interview me.
Nancy took like ages to come, I roughly waited an hour for her to arrive,
what a busy woman. :/
When she did arrive, she aplogised, so I thought she was nice.
My impression of her changed drastically only when she started
interrogating me like I had committed a 1st Degree murder.
She was practically judging me from what she has gathered from me.
She said she could tell a person's character based on the grades one
has for Mathematics. How crappy is that? TSK.
She also said a creative person cannot be an organised person.
Jus coz she has 20 years of experience in the industry doesn't
account for the fact that she can judge people like this.
On the other hand, she might be doing this coz she wants to see
if I could take the stress level and all, which was good.
I didn't rebutt her in a way that's deem rude, but more of a
justified course of proving the capabilities I have.
At that very moment, I knew that I was not gonna be
shortlisted for the job, no matter how much I might have
want it coz it was challenging.
The interview ended around 7.35pm.
Gosh, the entire interview took at least 35 minutes,
excluding 1 hour of waiting time. It was exactly like waiting
for the doctor to examine you at the Polyclinic. Lol.
I walked back to the station and took a train to Tiong Bahru
to meet Bay and Shawn. They were at MOS burger. Haha.
The moment I arrived, Shawn asked me to help him take Mayo. :/
It was Friday, therefore I decided to have Fish burger instead of
the usuals that I have.
Bay was sweet to have ordered the mussels that I loved at MOS.
We were just chatting away to pass time while waiting for the
movie to commence. We caught the 8.50pm movie, the one that
Jack Neo produced, "Xia dao xiao". The english title "Where got ghost?". Haha.
The movie was alrite, on a scale of 1-10, I'd rate it 4.
It was a compilation of stories. 3 stories to be exact.
First - Ghost on the street.
Second - Ghost in the jungle.
Third - Ghost at home.
If you ask me, as much as I support local prodcutions,
I think it's better if you peeps skip this movie, watch
something like Orphan or something, it would be more
worthwhile.
The movie ended and I was supposed to go back home,
knowing that my little sister has trouble sleeping at night
during the 7th month, but in the end, I went back with Bay
to his house to stay for the night.
When we went back to his place, I surfed the net for awhile,
afterwhich I slept early as I was meeting Xp to go for the
Career Fair at Suntec the next day.
