I had mentioned this before in my blog. It wasnt my intention to job hop. But I am now doing it (again!). For da first time in my life, I took M.C WHEN I AM NOT EVEN SICK. Heh. How do I do that? Well, there's always a term called, "acting". Why? Why did I apply for M.C today? Well, I went for a job interview located at Science Park Road. I shall not mention what is da name of da company. What I can only disclose >> A sec sch girl mate of mine referred me to da company. I just try my luck and send in my resume. I got their call on 18 May, around 2 plus in da afternoon for a phone interview. If I was selected for da next phase (face to face interview), they would call me again. I was surprised to receive another call from them at 4.10 pm! I was instructed to come for an interview, today (Tue, 23 May). I had to think about it first (well, I already took 3 days of leave in da month of May for my exams - I cant possibly take leave again, even if I wish to take half day leave - valid reason have to be given and even if I were to say family matters and personal, they still insist to know! They are bunch of busybodies! The only best policy is to take M.C) So, I told them that I will contact them by Monday to confirm. They gave me a direct number to call. Little did I expect that she would call me again at 4.33 pm (I already switched off my hp coz I have to start my examination). After da exam ended, 3 hours later, I checked my handphone and was wondering why they called again. I called them on Monday morning.I know from my sec sch mate that this job is a contract renewable basis and pay is within market range. If they can offer me $1600 (same as donaldson) or more, I take it but if they were to offer lesser than that, I dun think I can take it. During da interview, I asked them about da pay. They said it will depend on da HR Dept. I know, u may think I am money face or what but I have a habit of asking abt pay lah.. Thats da sort of THE ISSUE when it comes to jobs or interviews.. Heh.. During da interview, they asked why I want to leave my present company. Gee, a tough question. I cant possibly say, "There's alot of backstabbing going around!" No WAY!! So, my answer was, "I would like to go back to my customer service job. Previously, before I worked in da Donaldson law firm, I was a customer service agent for KCAP and I dealt with customers' calls. I applied for this position because I am interested to explore more customer service duties like, meeting them face to face and corresponding with them through emails." They pretty seem to like my answer. Still, they told me that if I were selected for this job, they will call me again. They know that I have to give 1 month notice. So, I guess, they can wait... Yeah, I did ask myself at one of da above paragraphs: Was it a hasty decision? Gee, I dun know too. I know I have told myself that I will wait till I completed my studies in January 2008 (and after graduation on May or June 2008 - now no longer in November, which was once a year, now is twice a year) then I will look for better opportunities out there. However, with all da backstabbing and da political stuffs that went on in D & B, I had enuff of that. I had to leave that shity place and move on. Either sooner or later, before or after graduating. I dun even wanna care. Enuff is enuff. Let them backstab some other pple who are of same qualifications as them. I am of a higher qualification than them, its OK for not respecting me but spare me da backstabbing, pls! DA MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE WHY I WANNA LEAVE THAT SHITY PLACE >> Like I had indicated, if they wanna insult me, never mind. By all means! BUT PLS DO NOT INSULT MY FAMILY MEMBERS! I REALLY REALLY HATE IT WHEN THEY "GOSSIP" ABOUT MY FAMILY BEHIND MY BACK OR DIRECTLY AT ME! Occasion 1) Dinner & Dance 2007.I WHAT KIND OF ATTITUDE IS THAT? U WANNA BRING UR BOYFRIEND, BY ALL MEANS. D & B had stated that u can bring ONE partner. So, ur boyfriend is ur partner. I also bring a partner - my mother. Due to this, not many pple and some other staffs who shared da same table had been talking to me. (That senior staff put me, my mum, herself and 3 others to da other table - after da commotion). Like I'd said, not many pple talked to me and some of them (I dun even care) coz they like to side with her? Its OK to side with her but are they sincere to be siding her? Dun think I dun know, behind her back also, those pple talked abt her! Still, she was nice to them and da more they side with her (so as to talk more abt her behind her back). Compare to her and me, I believe those pple should know I have sort of a better personality than her; I dun smoke, I dun like to bring family matters to work, I dun always take unneccessary MC, I dun take urgent leave unneccessarily too, I am one level higher educated than her, I dun always come as late as 10am for work. Still, they wish to be "her friend." Fine. Those gossip-mongers are all one corner. Occasion 2) "MBS, u lost weight." MBS: "No lah. My grandma says I still look da same." That person shook her head with eyes rolling and directly said, "Ur grandma?! What does she know? She weight u, issit?!" This happenned during lunch time. We are colleagues but we had not been having lunch together for about 1 month. (She is on da 15th floor and I am on 16th floor) That's da reason why she hadnt been seeing me, so I guess she may think that I lose weight (I swear I didnt notice I lose weight). BUT SHE CANT SAY THAT?! SHE IS INSULTING MY GRANDMA! MY GRANDMA IS NOT A WEIGHING MACHINE!! WE SEEN EACH OTHER 24 HRS DAILY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, SO I KNOW WHETHER I AM LOSING WEIGHT OR GAINING WEIGHT ONLY WHEN MY GRANDMA SAID SO! IF SHE SAY I STILL LOOK DA SAME, I HAVE TO ACCEPT DA FACT. WHY MUST SHE SAID LIKE THAT ABT MY GRANDMA! SHE DOESNT HAVE A GRANDMA OR MAYBE DOEST STAY WITH HER GRANDMA, by all means! BUT DO RESPECT MY GRANDMA! If I didnt leave this shity place anytime soon, I think I will go crazy! Coz I kept enduring all their backstabbing, insults, etc. If I cant endure it any longer, I might blow my top or went crazy. I dun wish for both to happen. Oh GOD, pls help me. P/S: Well, I will always remember what Falalala (my pri sch mate - wonder what happen to her,seem to lost contact now). She once sent a friendster testimonial and it read: Don't let those vicious words belittle u, even a centimetre. People can say what they want but remember this U r here not to please the world but URSELF!!! Anway, just treat it as a compliment when they bitch about you coz they simply got really nuthin betta do do n they ENVY u in ever possible way... Yup, I think they may ENVY me in every possible way and I am here in this world not to please them but myself. Fine, they can say whatever they want abt me or my family members (although I will hate it) but they will answer to GOD when they are no longer in this world. *evil smile*t was on Sat, 24 March 2007, so on Thurs, 22 March 2007, we had to book seats for ourselves. 10 pple in 1 table. One of da senior staffs (do not wish to write da name - I suspect a few Donaldson staffs know abt my blog), organized 11 of us >> that includes myself and my mum sit one table with da other 9 of them. I dun mind. As long as we have a table. BUT U WANNA KNOW WHAT?! ONE OF THEM MAKE SUCH A BIG BUSTLE ABOUT IT, BEHIND MY BACK! That senior staff sort of pitied me and know that person not suppose to do that, so she told me. SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW MY MOTHER! SO HOW COULD SHE MAKE A BIG COMMOTION ON THAT DAY TELLING TO ALL DA MALAY STAFFS, "EH, WHAT LAH (name of da senior staff), WIHOUT ASKING MY PERMISSION, GO AND PUT ME, MY BF, HERSELF, MBS AND HER STUPID MOTHER AND (names of other staffs). I BRING MY BOYFRIEND OK. MUST SHOW RESPECT AH TO MY BOYFRIEND. MUST DISCUSS WITH ME FIRST. WHY MUST PUT MBS ON SAME TABLE AS ME. SHE BRING HER MUM, WHY DA HELL SHE BRING HER MUM! I BRING MY BOYFRIEND U KNOW!WHO DA FCUKING HELL DO U THINK U ARE CALLING MY MOTHER STUPID! HAVE U MET MY MOTHER BEFORE DA DINNER AND DANCE? HAD MY MUM SUMHOW OFFEND U IN ANY WAY? ANYTHING U NOT HAPPY, TALK TO ME STRAIGHT TO DA FACE! NOT BEHIND MY BACK AND PLS DO NOT MENTION MY FAMILY MEMBERS! U CREATE A BIG COMMOTION. U WAN PPLE TO RESPECT UR BOYFRIEND?! HELLO!! IS UR BOYFRIEND DA BIG BOSS OF DONALDSON?!! U OR PPLE SHLD RESPECT MY MOTHER COZ SHE IS AN ELDERLY, OLDER THAN US! U ASK THIS QUESTION: WHY DA HELL MBS BRING HER MUM! IT IS MY OWN BLOODY BUSINESS LAH! I DIDNT EVEN ASK WHY U BRING UR BOYFRIEND COZ I KNOW IT IS UR OWN BUSINESS TO BRING WHOEVER U WANT ! SO U SHLD RESPECT MY BUSINESS TOO. I WANT TO BRING MY MOTHER, MY GRANDMOTHER OR MY AUNTIE OR MY LADY COUSIN, NONE OF UR BLOODY FCUKING BUSINESS!!!
