My mum asked me to go n hunt for another job coz my contract of employment in KYOCERA COMMUNICATION has end on 30th June. Being an obedient child, I juz do wat she says.
So for those of u who r wondering, am i still in da job or jobless? Well, I AM STILL IN DA JOB!! Although my contract has end, it doesnt mean i cant work for them. Yes i still can TILL FURTHER NOTICE. So its either they give me 7 days of notice telling me tat they no longer required my service or me giving them 7 days of notice telling them tat i wished to quit. Cool..only 7 days! Well, tats wat da contract says!
In fact, i didnt even knw tat da piece of paper i signed on my first day of work on 13th December 2004 was a contract! Yeah, laff all u can.. Kyocera Communication is da 2nd company i worked for n also da 2nd office like kinda job i worked for. Da first was at Toh Guan Rd East whereby i dun have to sign any letter. I juz come n 4 months exactly, i juz left. Temporary kinda jobs diff than full time, permanent n contract.
So, yeah while still working for Kyocera, i am also in hunt of another job. Oh boy! WAt luck! On 5th July, i received a call frm an agency telling me tat i am shortlisted for an interview at: 35 Pioneer Rd. Company: A marine offshore related(cant tell u da exact name of da company - scared i will b sued for defamation!) Da job requirements: O level and basic computer knwledge. Hah! I am over-qualified! No wonder i was shorlist! So i went for da interview on 6th Jul at 10.45am since my work starts at 1.00pm. Walane! Da journey very long! First, I have to take bus no 30 frm my plc to Boon Lay Interchange. Den take bus 254 or 257 to 35 Pioneer Rd..
Aft da interview, on da dot, my mum called me! Haiyah! U knw la parents very anxious! I told her da journey is almost da same as me going to Kyocera Communication. True. Frm my plc, i took 282 to Clementi MRT Station. Den off to take da train to Tiong Bahru. She further asked wats da job scope. Sigh.. boring sia da job scope. I have to deal wif INVOICES N PAYROLL!! Err.. i am not so confident dealing wif money.. Very tedious plus need full time commitment n concentration!
When i told her tat, she said "Ambil aje la kerja tu.. Bukan senang tau nak dpt org melayu kerja payroll!" And she went on n on n on.. No worries, she called, not me..and besides, I HAVE FREE INCOMING CALL, so juz listen n listen n listen 2her lectures n talkings.. *Grinz*
On da same day (5th july), I also received a call for another interview scheduled for me on 7th July 11 am! Wow! Da plc..very near..no need to take bus or mrt..juz 15 mins walk will do.. Where? GINZA PLAZA.. haha.. wat kinda job? Those of u who always hang around Ginza, do u notice there's a tuition centre? yUP.. tats da one.. Da tuition centre is: KUMON LEARNING CENTRE.. They need Full Time and Part Time Education Assistant (nice name to substitute da name "teachers" huh?)
Again, da same thing.. MY MUM IS GD AT PREDICTING DA TIME. 5 mins aft da interview, my hp rang. I looked at da number >> My mum's hp no. I ans it.
Mum: Mcm mana dpt? (Tats da question she always asked first: "SO how, got da job?")
Me: Dia kata by mon or tue dia call beritau dpt ke tidak (I was told tat they will get back 2me by next mon or tue (11 or 12 July)
Mum: Gaji nye mcm mana? (Same flow of question! Aft asking whether i got da job, da next, she will ask: How much is da salary... Duh)
Aft telling her all da details, she said: "Keduanya bagus gaji. Tapi kat Pioneer Rd, kerja dia mencabar.. Kau belum pernah buat payroll. Kalau kau dpt, bagus tu.. Kalau kau dah 1 yr experience, kau senang dpt kerja sebab kau tau Payroll.. Yg kat Ginza, mmg kau suka mengajar... jadi kerja tu pun bagus.. Up to u lah..mana kau nak tapi bagi mak, kerja Payroll tu bagus."
TRANSLATION: Both companies, da pay not bad but da one is Pioneer Rd, da job is very challenging. U have neva done Payroll. So tis is da experience for u. If u got 1 yr experience, n decide to quit to look for more job opportunities elsewhere, u'll be an advantage coz u knw Payroll. Da one at Ginza, i knw u love to teach, so tat job also a very gd profession for u. Up to u lah. Which one u want. But i rather u choose Payroll.
So lets juz cross my fingers n c wats da outcome. Next.. I literally hate it when my mum does tat! Does wat?! Well, i knw her for YEAAAAARRRRSSSSSSSSSSS.... She is sumone who doesnt knw da meaning of PRIVATE N CONFIDENTIAL. PRIVACY. SECRET.
B4 i said wat she did..i wanna tell cum REMIND ALL U PPLE.. IF U HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO ME VIA SMS.. PLZ WAIT TILL NEXT MORNING (9AM N ABOVE) TO SMS ME.. DO NOT SMS ME AT 1 AM IN DA MORNING OR 2AM OR 3AM IN DA MORNING ok?
Ok..wat happen? Anura send me an sms at 2am in da morning 2day!! I knw its NO BIG DEAL but i FORGOT TO SWITCH OFF my phone. So a msg tone was ringing.. my mum woke up n she so called read da msg.
If she juz read da msg w/o asking me questions.. its ok but today, since she wasnt working..she's on leave, n i started work at 1.00pm, so in da morning..she bombarded me with lots of questions abt y Anura msg me: Kau baca profile Daniza di frenster. Sungguh hebat! Nampaknya dendam dia pada aku semakin membara.
So my mum being a very kpo person WANTED TO KNW IF I KNW ABT Anura's pertengkaran wif Daniza. Oh my! I have said it, n gonna say it again: I LITERALLY HATE IT WHEN MY MUM LOVES TO POKE HER NOSE IN PPLE'S PROBLEM N ALSO MY PERSONAL PROBLEM!
She wants 2knw exactly wat happen between Anura n Daniza n y Anura send msg 2me telling me tat.. I told her upteen times i dun knw n wanted to go to my room, but she prevented me! She again demanded me to tell her. I told her i dun knw! Den she gave up. Phew! I checked my hp.. No msg frm Anura.. maybe, my mum had deleted it..
Tis is not da 1st time my mum did tat. A lot of times! When she checks our letter box, sum parents will leave out their children's letter coz its privacy to their kids. But my mum, like i'd say DO NOT KNW WAT IS PRIVACY. When she saw an envelope: ON GOVERNMENT SERVICE. For ME, w/o waiting for me to get hm, she read it first. Den if she not sure, she asked me.. b4 i could ask her y she opened MY letter, she will say hurry up n read wat they say..wat is it abt..
There was once, 3 years ago..my friend wrote me a letter n since she was running out of envelopes, she used "On Government Service" envelope. My mum thinking tat it is sumthing impt for me, she opened it up n read every single contents in da letter only till she realize tat it was nothing impt but a letter.. At tat time, i applied for a job.. Singapore Armed Forces wish to hire clerks..so i applied n my mum thot tat letter was frm THEM. Lame..
A lot of times lah! When she sees sumthing tat has my name, she wil do da honour to read first!
SO ANURA PLZ..IF U HAVE ANYTHING DRASTIC TO SAY OR FUNNY THINGS TO SAY...PLZ WAIT TILL 9AM AND ABOVE ok? DUN MSG ME AT 1 AM OR 2AM OR 3 AM coz i HAVE A VERY KPO FAMILY MEMBER HERE.SO PLZ REMEMBER DONT MSG ME AT 1AM OR 2AM OR 3AM..I WILL BE SLEEPING N I MAY OR MAYNOT OFF MY HP. IF I DIDNT OFF MY PHONE..MY MUM WILL READ IT AND many questions asked. I hate tat.
Anyway, tmr... I HAVE TO WORK FRM 2PM TO 7PM..at Suntec City..giving out brochures as usual.. So if u c me there, say 'Hi' 2me K?! Hehee
