Today Aunty Lucy appearing at AMK Hub NTUC Fairprice. I wasn't really planning to attend but since was at there and my mum bought Caratino. Hence I "helped" her get the freebies. After which I met Yvonne and Yanrong.

Than we also spotted Jane. Than came Peiqi and Kaiting and followed by Minyi. It was just a 2 hours plus programme to promote the cooking oil and was lucky draw lots time. The hosts were Xiao Ying and Yong Mei from Love 97.2fm.

They were very humorous. We had lots of fun. I also guessed correctly and gotten one mini bottle of oil, poster and one recipe book with Aunty Lucy's autograph.

Then we had small chats at kopitiam afterwhich I left for home.

Before I went down to AMK Hub, I was at Suntec looking for Weibin to pass her my card for her. But did not have the courage to pass her personally, hence I asked the staff to pass her for me. Hopefully she like the card.

Today had interviewed at Raffles Hospital for Admin post in a lab at 10am. I was a bit late.

I filled up the application form as usual and was asked to wait for my turn.

I was greeted by one of the staff and she bought me to the lab and at there, I was briefed on what is my job scope and what my role.

After that, I was told to wait for call these days if I am being selected. I guess, even if I am being selected, I will also not agreed.

Since I had nothing to do on hand and I had no interviews, I went to popular and buy some stationary thinking of doing some cards to keep. In the end, decided to find a place to sit and stare in daze waiting for time to pass till 3pm for my lunch as I do not wish to see any ex-colleagues at the food court.

I went to library and decided to online and send resume at the same time play games. Than I received a call from HR of my ex company and arranged an interview tomorrow. If selected, I can start work from this coming Wednesday. I was happy and agreed for a meet up.

Shall wait for tomorrow's arrival...

I reached HR slightly later than the agreed time, got my vistor passed and went to look for Christine. She asked me to sit at the sofa and wait for her to call me. I waited for some time before the interview room was available.

Suprisingly, she say I can start work tomorrow and she asked me to sign the contract for one month first and will extend once I reached 1 month. I was posted to LI Dept and will be assisting normal admin duties. I was so excited.

Today was CQ Bday bash day. Although the place was not easy to find but we managed to locate it and gathered around before CQ arrived. We created many suprises for him which we did not even mentioned a word to him.

The venue was in one of the McDonalds as CQ love to eat McDonalds. We arranged the tables in one straight rows. After we had our dinner, Minyi went to fetch the cute bday cake for CQ and Kaiting went to fetch "Doreamon" over to suprise CQ. When CQ saw the cake and Doreamon, he was so touched and happy. I guessed he did not even guessed that he would see a "slim" Doreamon. The cake was so lovely.

We had lots of photo takings and had fun. Peiqi than used her laptop to show CQ our videos of wishes to him. He was even more touched and thank us.

Lastly was present opening, all of them was giving him many suprises, except me. I promise I will come up double suprises for him next year.

We had lots of fun and bonding among us. ALFCians rocks. CQ rocks. Special thanks to Minyi, Kaiting, Peiqi and all for making today not Blackie Friday~~~ We made a history and we made his day~~~ I love ALFCians. I love CQ~~ :D

22 July 2010

Today was my first day reporting to Anderson Secondary School. Not reporting for O level studies. Neither am I reporting as a Teacher.

It was a 7-days temp job to be admin assistant. I received a call from RMA to say that there will be a 7-days temp for me. Since I have yet found any job, I agreed. Furthermore, it was so near my house and the timing was 8.30am-5.30pm.

I was also suprised that they do not need to interview me and I can report to work instantly. When I reached there, I met my supervisor, Mei Ching. She was a very pleasant and polite lady. She asked me to sit in front of her and gave me one laptop to start my job.

Afterwhich, I met Patricia who was the HR who will approved my pay on my last day of work.

My first job was to find all the machines listed in the list and have to checked if these items still exist. After that, I will assigned barcode for the items and paste on the items. That will be my job for these 7 days.

During the times when she was busy and I had done my work, I can access to twitter and facebook.

I was also allowed to wear shorts and even jeans to work. It was new experience and furthermore, I will get paid while I search for a longer temp job. Today wasn't much work to be done. I finished work at 5pm as she needed to leave early.

30 July 2010

Its last day of work in Anderson Secondary School and farewell to nice colleagues and great supervisor. She did asked if I wanted to stay on for next assignment, I rejected her as I have an interview next Monday.

Working in school wasn't bad. Everyday I was surrounded by school kids. Feel much younger. The food sold in the canteen was much cheaper than outside. But too bad, they only have temp for a week or so. There isn't assignments that can last for months.

Oh yes, Anderson Secondary School was my elder brother's secondary school and also one of my friend was ex-teacher in here. I happened to saw his group photos at the wall of the Admin Office. He look so different when I met him outside. :X

July 2010 Updates (19 July 2010)

19 July 2010
Initially I do not wish to update what had happened today. As usual, it suppose to be just an ordinary Monday besides going for the events for Old Cow vs Tender Grass.

If not for that someone which I still do not wish to name that someone. I shall call that someone K. Not naming that someone was not becaused I scare of that someone. I am also not asking for any sympathy. Neither do I think I am not in the wrong.

It had been many weeks since I really wish to have a chat with K and I wish I can talk some sense in K. Maybe the time and venue were all not correct. Or maybe I shouldn't be so busybody.

But when it concern of many innocent parties, I just could not ignore or pretend it does not exist. Someone will get hurt and worst even losing her rice bowl. Furthermore, if its foreigners, it will be doubly difficult to even find another job. She may in turn have to return to her homeland and wait for new job to come.

I think if that situation really happened again, I will never forgive myself and will blame myself for not doing anything.

Hence, when K started to talk about that shop, I really could not hide and was nicely asking K, can you don't go down everyday and disturb. I believe if you think deeper, you will know it may caused inconvenience to the person working at the shop. How does it feels when someone keep coming to the shop and disturbing your work. Worst if you get scolded for this matter where you did not even wish that that person appear at your workplace EVERDAY.

When I say everyday, it is really almost everyday. Thinkiing of she is a foreigner and even I as a Singaporean, wanted to find a job will take me months to actually find one. Unless I am very lucky, I will get it within weeks. But for foreigners, especially if holding work permits, once lose job, will not be easy to find a new one that soon and that easy.

I was really standing in the point of view for that gal. End up, K did not think K was doing anything wrong. In turn, K got angry and starting to shout at me. At times, K even dashed towards my direction and if not for my friend, I guess, K might just give me few punches. K even scolded me in vulgar languages. It all happened too sudden and was at GV Vivo City just nearby the stage area for events. At there filled with people and also workers who were clearing the area. My friend tried to hold K back and asked me and another friend to leave first.

We went to Kopitiam for a drink and received a call from my friend that he and K will be coming down. When my friend came down, he say he have words for me. Hence we walked to one side, I promise him never to bring up this matter again. I agreed. After that, I tried to ask my friend, should I apologise to K. They all said, K should say sorry to me.

To me, both of us was in wrong. I was wrong as I should never be so busybody. I was in wrong as I should never talk about this matter in the public and in turn, it was a sad experience for me. Whenever I saw him, reminds me of that day. I really do not know if I say sorry to him, will he forgive me. I also do not know if I really have to say sorry. The main reason why I wanted to talk K some sense was also because, I worried K will use that gal as spare tyre for relationship if N was to reject K. I do not wish anyone will be hurt. All the more I do not wish anyone to lose their rice bowl due to this childish act. I am sorry to say it as childish act.

I knew friends around me who knew this incident will definately say I wasn't in the wrong. Even if it wasn't me, there will be some other who cannot bear to see anyone losing rice bowl if K did not stop his action. But I sincerely wish to apologise to K. I do hope we can be friends again. I really hope so. But I know it can never happened as now, we are like strangers.

If I can remove that memory off my mind, if that day did not took place. If I can have a medicine to remove that day's memory. I guessed, I wouldn't feel so bad.

The after-effect of this incident lead to many unhappy decisions. I was sad that this incident became a spark of all the sad decision. If this memory being removed, I will be happier. Now, whenever I think of it, it was heartpain incident. In the end, I was not a saviour. Neither was I angel.

Maybe one day, I am able to forget and forgive. But not now. I was also stunned as in why when someone scolded me in public I can be so silent and walked away. Imagine if i talk back, what will be the situation? Furthermore, my tone of speech wasn't angry. It was really should be casual talk, Really. But why things turned out this way? Am I really not in the blame? Am I really not in the wrong? Should I wait for K's apology which will never happened? Should I forgive K?
