Jobs For Sale

I know that it's probably not very ethical of me to advertise here but I know that some people read my blog so what the heck... As most of you know, I am now working for a recruitment agency. Most of the time, we have plenty of job vacancies but not enough candidates. So Huang/ Ying/ Yao/ Shin/ Yian Syin/ Hwee Chen/ Zac and any other people reading my blog, if you need a part-time job or if your friends need on, please ask them to contact me. I shan't list down my number or email here for fear of spam. If you don't have it, you can ask me for it in a separate or private email or something. Okay?

My company has lots of part-time jobs. Some would require the candidate to work about 2-3 months and others can only last for 2-3 days. The pay is standard. Usually, it's about S$5 - S$6 an hour. It's temporary or part-time basis so the rates are calculated hourly. There is administrative and there is also physical type of positions like packers and stuff. Need your help on this. *grin* Any other working adults who wouldn't mind some extra income can also contact me. People like Mok and Regina or Moobe. Chiao!

long absence why

I have been busy lately. Really busy. That's why I haven't updated my blog for a really long time. I started work with my new employer on Monday. It's a totally new environment and different nature of business altogether. I'm currently working for a recruitment agency. We receive orders from clients, I source for suitable candidates, send them to the clients and if they're happy... we hire the client and the case is closed. Otherwise we keep searching and providing candidates until the client is happy. Work officially ends at 6:15 but we usually only leave at about 6:40 or 7 p.m. By the time I get home, I'm too tired to do anything else. I just watch some TV then go to bed. That's why I have no time to blog!

The colleagues are nice. Mostly young sexy things. There are altogether four monkeys (people born in the year 1980 based on the Chinese zodiac) and the rest are either a little older or slightly younger. Come tomorrow, there will be a new colleague joining us. I would then be considered a 'senior'. Ha! Ha!

Besides that, I went wall climbing on Thursday with my new colleagues. It's fun! It was my first time but I'd say that I did quite well. I managed to scale 4 different walls. All four of us monkeys were game for the sport. hehe Well, guess it's true what they say. Monkeys are lively and active people. The four of us are also the kinda bubbly sort. Oh, it feels good to be hanging out with people that you have some similarities with. It's like, you feel close to home. *smile*

I lost my voice. I had a slight cough and flu since last Friday but I didn't bother to watch what I ate. I just whacked my favourite dishes like fried foods, chocolates, ice-cream and my voice finally gave in on Thursday night. I now have a very hoarse and raspy voice. Nope, I don't sound sexy. In fact I sound scary! hehe It's 6:35 p.m. now and I'm getting hungry. Time to start thinking of what to eat for dinner! I started watching what I ate from yesterday because I need to get back my voice on Monday. We're gonna meet an important client on Monday and I got to at least sound decent.

Oh yeah! I went to watch a horror movie on Friday night. Please refer to details at Shin and Yao's blogs. It was an "okay" movie. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a really "gory and bloody" movie fan. The story wise is lousy. It's just some crap psychothrillet. The make-up is good though. It looks so real. I find Saw to be much better in that department. I am impressed with Saw. On Saturday, I watched the DVD alone at home because Shin was too afraid to watch it with me. He was sleeping right through the whole movie. Yeah, Regina... that's our little baby...

Has anyone seen the movie Saw or Creep? What say you? I just love horror movies. Don't ask me why. I guess I just love the thrill and the suspense. Hmm... let's see if there are any other horror DVDs I can watch. Bye!

Clumsy Day

Today is “clumsy” day for me. The day went smoothly until after work. I was to meet Shin at Newton Circus (a touristy eating joint (hawker centre to be precise) just minutes from Orchard Road) for dinner. I arrived early and ordered a cup of Sugar Cane juice. The drink lady placed it on the table and when I reached out for it, I spilt the whole cup. Only about 200ml was left. Luckily for me, a very nice old Chinese man (from China! He had that Chinese accent) cleared up the mess I created.

Right after we finished dinner, I decided to stack all the bowls and plates up to save the nice old Chinese man from extra work. Instead, I caused him more mess to clean up. I was trying to put the chilli dish into the bowl when I spilt it. Thanks to me, the table now has a bright red smear on its already sweetened sugar cane surface.

Shin felt like Chai Tow Ker (Fried Carrot Cake) so I went to get some. I was cleaning my wooden (disposable) chopsticks by rubbing the two pieces together when I broke it in half. *sigh*

I don’t know what happened to me tonight. It’s one of those days where I feel like a super giant alien living in an undersized human body. Fortunately, there were no more mishaps after that. I just hope these kind of “bad” days don’t happen to often.

I can’t remember but my father tells me that when I was young, I used to always break things. There was this coffee shop that we went to where I was so famous and good and breaking their porcelain that they eventually served me drinks in a plastic cup.

Ugly Present

Shin threw me a surprise birthday party today. It was really wonderful. My actual birth-date is in 3 days and we were supposed to go Wild Wild Wet so I wasn't in the least bit suspicious. I was pretty confused yet happy to see my cousins Cara, Calvin, Clement, Desmond, Derek, Jia Wen, Jia Jun/ sisters Ying and Niu and friends Jin Yao, Jin Huang, Marie-Anne, Robert, Ah Seng, David, Andrew, Josephine and Ching Ching etc.

I will go into more detail about the whole birthday experience. For now, I just want to put up the picture of a present I received from a so-called "good" friend. I guess you know who you are when you see the picture below. Seriously, I don't know what you were thinking when you bought me this gift. I mean, I don't expect anything expensive but I don't know what message you're trying to get across with your present.

Firstly, I am not Cina (I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain chee-na in English but I'll try. It's how you describe people who are very oriental in their ways. They like gold shiny and loud stuff. Something like that) Secondly, I know that I am very loving and all but I don't need to be reminded of it. Thirdly, what the hell am I going to do with your present? Hang it around my neck? For the curiosity of you readers, I've posted the pictures below. It is a wooden plague with golden shimmery wallpaper and it says Love in Chinese.

The ugliest and most useless present I have ever received in my entire life...

Ugly Present

...that came in the ugliest and cheapest wrapper anyone has ever used:

Ugly Present with Ugly Wrapper

I'm Free

My Chairman came into the office this morning in a good mood. He told me that I could leave anytime. Yeah! I couldn’t be happier to hear this piece of news. He also told me that I’ll always be welcome should I feel like dropping by. Oh, he’s so sweet. He’s actually very nice in many ways. So my last day with my current employer is 13th April after which I will enjoy 4 days’ short holiday and start with a new career on the 18th. Hope everything goes well…
