Ever since the advent of my free outgoing to 3 m1 numbers, gj and i machiam nothing better to do keep calling each other to chat about the upcoming results. Boy, am i nervous, and more or less we are affirmed of the results already. Undoubtedly, i should be relieved and glad for the slightly high jump in cap score. Not asking for more already.
Today is the beginning of my job at Raffles Holdings limited. The pic on the left is the pic(unedited, no time) i have taken from my phone while staring out at the window at the pantry. I am pretty fascinated with the capaccino machine and almost drowning myself in those cups of rich coffee. Ya i need to keep awake. It's an honour for me to work in this company, because it involves seeing some of the people who manage the swiss hotel, raffles hotel, getting to walk past the raffles city convention center, and many other corners i'd never been to in my entire life. You could never believe some of the grandeur that comes along with this temp job. Besides the plenty of opportunities for me to slack at Raffles city whenever there are no despatch work (allowed to do so). My admin lady told me i am allowed to go jalan jalan around the area until there is some despatch documents to do, or else i can choose to stay behind at the pantry reading my stuff.
Ya...i guess my wait for Pearly was worthy. SHe offered me the best jobs and this is by far the best. Considering what i have mentioned in my previous entry, the new 50 dollar EZ link card, a monthly 30 dollar handphone fee, can claim cab fare for ugent documents, 6.5 per hour.. it's simply more than i'd asked for.
Ok enough of the jubilation and obnoxious indulgence in satiation.
Back to reality check. Happy for lim teh that she'd finally secured a job for her. She has been an epitome of determination for me. She is not competitive, taking things in her stride, crazy as she is, yet simple and decent. Happy for her because she got this research job that she had longed for, a job that even got her to travel to china and indonesia. Considering the description of her interviewing process, it was a nice suprise that the interviewer actually replied that fast to her in welcoming her on board the company. Sometimes this job may be too big for her, coz she had wanted to juz stayed inside the lab and do research, yet i think the interviewer caught that intense passion in her. ALRIGHT ENOUGH OF FLATTERY comments! haha.
It seems terribly fast that gals our batch are thinking about adult things. ABout career, may be settling down, marriage? The latter being the least prioritised, i presumed. Angel herself had her own woes to be concerned about. I guess it's quite a turning point her at this juncture in her life, where decision seriously play a critical role in manoevuring her life. Well, wishing her all the best in capturing, kidnapping, one professor to support her project. Cheers.
Pls understand i am typing this entry rather fast coz it going 12am and i am still awake, i should be sleeping...for another long day tmr.
Oh ya, i am still pondering over taking linda's student in queenstown, physics, sec4 exp. Thats the updates for now. Make sure the next day you stay here, same site, same url, same time, same day. Goodnight, Ma-re-gem.
