finally

yest called the boss's son.. his job not even wat i major in.. mostly hardware n his boss not even considering hiring fresh grads.. how great.. to think my mum ask mi to reject the job n wait as if his co cfm hire mi.. c? end up wif nthing.. told her liao den she said aiyah u go sign tat 1.8k job lah.. sounds as if she cant b bothered liao.. humph.. sometimes some things u juz cant tell ur parents

this morn went down to sign contract.. despite 4 yrs of training in taking long bus rides i still find it a bit unbearable.. mayb cos not familiar wif the route so cant doze off.. somemore go sch got expressway so the ride is pretty smooth but this one got mani mani mani stops n it feels so pek chek seeing the bus stop every few metre.. aniway i think i will have plenty of time keeping myself updated wif the latest music trend by listening to 1.5 hrs of music.. -__-

think the company jinx mi.. twice kena rain juz when i a few stops away from the co.. n the sun is so bright n hot n suddenly it juz rain like tat.. @#$@#$.. reached liao n the hr manager on leave.. wat the.. wait a while den my manager came out.. smile smile v frenly.. unlike the other day when he interviewed mi.. so stern n serious.. took mi to the hr office to get the contract.. the office so pathetic.. looks more like an elongated storeroom.. oni 1 manager n 1 staff n the staff is hidden somewhere in the corner where u cant even c if u stand at the door..

looked at the contract.. so brief n nothing much.. basic terms r there but the cash value or insurance not stated.. heck liao juz sign.. aniway conditions quite reasonable.. nvr ask mi to pledge my soul or watever.. oni need to give 24 hrs notice during probation n after tat is 30 days.. but the job looks more like customer service rather than IT related.. haiz.. start work c how.. mayb meanwhile still need to keep a lookout

after tat met my fren for lunch.. supposed to b lunch but duno how i ended up at a recruitment co wif her.. wasted time there cos the person v slow n she asked us wat kind of jobs we looking for.. kept asking abt sales n marketing stuff n i tout she so gd help us find bank jobs.. asked mi to go out first while she toke to my fren cos she got more sales exp.. den they toke so loud until i sit outside oso can hear.. later my fren told mi they bluff one.. nt recruitment co but is financial planner.. 缺德鬼 these financial planners everytime resort to these kind of antics to bluff ppl down b4 revealing their purpose

haiz.. these few days keep complaining.. muz add more humour.. aniway tdy sign contract.. a bit boliao n came up wif my own version of worker's pledge.. mayb nxt time during assembly den every worker can recite it..

the pledge:
i, a resident in singapore,
pledge my soul to the organization
regardless of pay, distance or benefits (i think the boss of the co near my house will b v happi wif this line)
to build a profitable corporation
based on slogging and working OT
so as to achieve more business, prosperity
and progress for the company

tdy's pig bdae.. happi bdae lah! 猪你生日快乐.. tats if u read until here.. haha.. everytime skip my blog n say its v sian.. skip this part oso lor.. haha

fed up

yes again this is a long n grumpy story..

this morn i checked email n the person replied to offer mi the job.. but the offers v low n harsh.. 1.6k for 3 mth probation n upon cfm den 1.7k.. no 1 mth bonus but got bonus mthly depending on performance.. den 5.5 days.. asked mi to give reply by 12pm.. sick man the terms so harsh.. so i asked a few frens for their opinion.. initially was more inclined to accept this job since can learn a lot of things.. but a few benefits not confirmed so i emailed back to ask more abt the benefits n oso if can extend the deadline to tmr

after tat my fren suggest toking to the ppl in the workplace to find out more.. so i called the company to ask.. ask if require frequent ot.. she say depends cos some ppl want to finish work etc etc but duno whether required or not cos she not in tat dept.. den whether stressful or not she said in spore everywhere is stressful.. den she say how come i like so worried n ask so much.. i said cos i want to compare n find out more.. like whether its a fast-paced environ etc.. den she say how come its my first job yet i like so exp in all these.. told her my frens working liao so they noe.. den she say she feel my frens give too much advice.. #@$#@$@$

after tat the person replied.. v jek ar.. say cos i say got offer tat need to cfm by tdy so he set the deadline to 12pm but its ok if i want to extend.. den he say no ot pay n it is up to ur gd self to get things done within a reasonable period.. as for whether the pay is negotiable he said it is offered based on wat im worth.. if pay is impt to mi den i shld work in mnc.. they offer exp n exposure but i will b rewarded if i can contribute.. den at the end of the email he wants mi to let him noe if i still want to b considered for the job.. said he feels tat im more int in the returns rather than the work exp.. TMD.. ask to cfm abt the benefits oso cannot.. like tat i might as well work for free to get the exp lah

nvrm b4 he replied i cfm signing the other co liao.. my frens say treat as temp n work first.. tout later go down sign contract den everything settled.. but i made the mistake of consulting my mum.. she said pay so low n whether its my interview skills not gd tats y pay so low.. wth.. b4 interview they oredi offer 1.8k liao so its not regarding my interview skills ok.. den she ask mi call my aunt for opinion n c if she can help mi find better job since she working IT oso

so i called.. den she say she not working liao.. asked mi if i noe c# or .net.. both i duno.. den she sound like she duno wat to do wif mi oso.. said i noe programming in java den she say shld b easy to find job.. but prob is java is oni basic one n most jobs require the more advanced version of java which is j2ee.. den she say email her my resume n she ask my uncle help mi look around but 2k is a bit high.. @#$#@$

still nt enuff.. my mum go downstairs n ask her boss.. her son study IT oso but got 2nd hons n now earning 3k in some well-known co which she duno how to spell n pronounce n i have no idea which one is it.. say his bonus 6k.. siao.. but he planning to quit soon n go work for jap co.. say i study jap so shld b easier to work in jap co oso.. study but duno how to speak wats the use.. here got a lot of ppl speak jap to u meh.. no practice oso no use.. den she say he found a job within 1 mth n 1.8k is realli low for grad so ask mi dun b kan cheong n wait.. sure can get 2k jobs.. finding job v diff meh.. @#$@#$@#.. yalah yalah i v useless can?

so now my mum wants mi to postpone the contract to tmr.. toke to the son n ask him to help.. den wait n c how.. fcuk la no job say i expectations too high.. now got job den say pay so low.. if want to wait i dun mind waiting but she sure go scolding later on.. den she say tats nt the pt.. its whether i got seriously find job or not.. wat u say?! tmd so fed up wif everything.. find gd job oso so diff.. finally got offer still expect mi to reject n wait as if the son's co confirm want mi like tat

called the hr to postpone.. think she sounds a bit sian oso.. but she oredi sounded like tat since the first time i called her.. apologized for it n she said its ok.. but i unwittingly spoke singlish to her.. den i haven reply the co near my house.. thinking of how to reject with subtle sarcasm.. shoot mi so directly.. i b an idiot to go n work for him.. basket.. no wonder the cards indicate one 小人.. speaking of tarot cards.. they can b freakingly accurate ok.. i got the same cards twice n both indicate in favor of the other job.. at least its comforting to noe tat the final outcome card is gd.. juz hope i dun jeopardize my chances wif all this shit going on.. scarcely end up without anithing

feeling stupid

my fren asked mi y i nvr call the co near my house to ask instead of juz emailing the person.. i tout calling the person is a bit too intrusive cos everything is thru email.. den i called the person n asked.. only to realise that he still haven made his choice n the latest is by this wk.. -___-.. im supposed to go tmr to sign contract wif the other co lor.. den stupid mi nvr tout of telling him i got job offer so tat i can request him to make his choice faster.. after tat my frens said the same thing den i realised.. -__-.. so i waited after lunch den called lor.. the person not around.. @#$#@$.. the gal who picked up the phone said she will pass my msg to him.. if she forgets den tats it lor

during lunch i told my colleague abt the jobs.. den she said postpone the contract to fri n bluff the person i got sth urgent lor.. if by fri still no news den no choice liao.. or i can sign first den wait till the person confirm den i quit.. haa siao lor tats so bad n scarcely need compensation.. by rite small co shld take even lesser time to decide since they dun need to go thru hr n all tat.. yalor mayb they juz using mi as backup n want to wait until their guy or gal sign the contract den reject mi.. =.=

later on i think use sth urgent as excuse a bit risky.. scarcely she ask wats the thing den i dunno wat to ans oso.. so ended up i called the person n arranged to sign the contract tmr afternoon wif the intention of calling tmr morn n say i LS or sth.. who noes the person sounded so casual as if the contract can be signed anitime like tat.. walao i think i pushing myself into deeper shit.. mayb shld have juz said i going down on fri instead of going one big round n telling lies.. sian liao i think mayb the pimple on my nose will grow bigger (modern version of pinocchio)

my fren say i so gd got choices.. like real man.. the co nvr even cfm want mi.. n its juz a "choice" between 2 below market-rate jobs.. sometimes got choice oso not gd.. scared will make the wrong choice den wonder y i so stupid to reject the other one.. argh feeling vexed

meanwhile the woman asked mi to clear the papers on my table into boxes den she saw the boots below my table.. she asked if i got wear b4 or not.. i said no.. den she say dunno can return or not.. -___-.. duno y she so niao one.. its not even her money.. everytime ask her sign timesheet she muz scrutinize n double check the days tat i took leave.. den now i cant even take the boots home..

asked mi to shred 2 boxes of paper.. tat TWO boxes took mi 2 hrs to shred.. n tats ignoring the woman's instructions to remove the staples.. if i remove all i think i will need to do OT juz to shred the papers.. stupid man i wonder y go to the trouble of shredding the papers when i can juz simply dump them into the rubbish bag.. not even confidential info or wat

finished liao den i took the chocs to my boss's room n gave to him.. he said by rite shld b they buying stuff for mi.. yalor.. haa. den ask mi if i got job n said its gd tat i found a job related to my studies.. duno how to reply.. haa.. aniway nvr toke to him during work so its a bit weird toking to him oso

after tat distribute chocs to colleagues like santa claus.. some quite surprised.. expected lor.. i a bit paiseh oso.. cant imagine if i give them the "looks-high-class" chocs.. i told my mum tat one sure cannot n she say i niao.. -__-".. told woman cos c other ppl last day give choc den i oso give lor.. do as the romans do.. haa.. but i realised i left out one pack of choc for the last colleague which is the one who tried to find mi a job.. -_____________-.. stupid mi.. luckily he on leave so not tat malu.. n luckily i gave everybody 2 diff chocs so at least he got 1.. haha

wait for time to go home.. den woman give mi one present.. said its a image of the co.. haa.. nt bad lor quite nice.. small metal plaque with the image of the co a bit protruding out.. dunno how to describe oso.. den time to go home n woman duno go where.. so i bidded everyone gd bye n shook hands n rcved their best wishes n absconded wif the boots.. haha..

thinking how to bluff the person tmr.. how does one sound when LS-ing? juz say i'm sick or i got diarrhoea cos tdy i so happi tat i signing contract tmr so i celeb wif my frens n ate sth wrong? or mayb call the person while im in toilet n flush it so tat she can hear? haa.. 烦啊.. y i so stoopid..

chocs

told my colleague nxt wed is my last day den she asked mi if i want to extend.. hehe. told her i found a job liao.. initially when she heard the location she said its still ok but when she heard it takes 1.5 hrs to travel she oso say wah.. :( .. den she say work first to boost up the resume.. n she said small company doesnt matter since sometimes its the big companies tat retrench ppl instead of small ones.. hmm.. makes some sense oso

one guy from another dept quitting.. gave us all one bar of choc each.. hee.. so nice.. dunno y these few days kept hearing got farewell lunch for this n tat.. mayb got more chocs to come? been 2 mths since i worked there n they still haven found someone to replace the guy who quitted.. haa.. think they going to b heavily understaffed when i leave.. dunno if its the norm in the co to give chocs when u quit or wat.. last time tat guy oso gave choc.. hmm.. told my mum to source for cheap n presentable chocs.. haa.. nvrm lor since they quite gd got treat mi goodies.. but i shy to give them leh.. think the woman sure go "wah so gd ah.." v loud den make mi malu... -__-

last shot

yest worked 10 min ot all bcos of the stupid woman.. asked mi check the entire file of orders n nvr said its urgent.. still asked mi do things for other ppl.. den last min say she wants the thing by yest.. @#$@#$.. rushed like mad n end up heck care liao juz briefly glance thru.. the stupid airline so mani errors one.. dumped the file back to her den she say she wants accuracy nt speed.. rushed like mad den she say.. want accuracy den i give u tmr lah.. made mi miss the company bus.. n 10 min ot how to claim?? claim liao oso paiseh

tdy took leave again for interview.. shld b final interview oredi.. c if can get gd offer b4 signing contract nxt wk or not.. walked to the co.. juz 10 min walk from home oni.. the area quite wulu.. all those warehouses n the lift stop directly inside their office one.. reached too early so stood n wait downstairs.. the ppl in the shop kept looking at mi as if thinking i want to steal their cars like tat..

finally went up n the interviewer haven reach yet.. so wait lor.. den another guy came in.. tout hes the interviewer but end up hes another fresh grad applying for the SAME position as mi.. first time c rival interviewee in interview.. haa.. but lucky the post got 2 vacancies.. so chit chat a bit den each stare into space in diff directions.. wanted to ask him wats his expected salary but topic a bit too sensitive.. haa

filled up form liao den went in.. asked standard qns.. den he quite surprised sch got teach jap.. so told him we need to take outside fac mods n how the bidding system works etc etc.. shld b vocal enuff? haha.. den he nvr say abt the job so i asked him.. hmm sounds appealing to mi in tat its boring.. haa.. im a boring person who likes routine mah.. sit in front of the comp do programming everyday oso can provided i can get it working.. but den the job sounds quite harsh as in no training provided (he said i oredi got trained in nus.. -__-").. den have to b quite independent as in they oni tell u wat they want n not how to do.. den have to b analytical.. but even though he kept saying the job quite boring n realli need passion in programming i still quite int in it.. dunno whether im too int in the convenience of walking to work liao or wat.. haa.. but the job sounds more like wat im looking for than the app specialist one.. hmm so mani mths nvr do programming i oso forgot how i got tortured by it liao

another downside to it is he planning to offer 1.7k oni.. -__-... initially he asked if 2k is my min.. i said yes.. den he said i still put negotiable.. opps. haa.. den i say depends on the company oso.. when he said 1.7k i a bit sian oredi.. end up telling him 1.8k min.. haiz.. i hate those 2 digits man... yest den realise 1.8k after cpf becomes 1440 oni.. pathethic.. after tat he asked wat my frens working as.. told him mostly software engr n programmers n some still finding jobs.. den told him now find job oso diff cos all those idiots want exp like SAP ERP which they nvr even taught in sch..

the company looks even smaller than the app specialist one.. sounds more tedious oso.. but can learn more things n shld b easier to find jobs after the exp.. n v near leh! haa.. dunno abt the benefits n working hrs but i hope he offer mi the job man

WAH so i go 2nd round is bcos of sympathy ar.. now i noe how it feels like to have sympathy votes.. haa.. aniway go interview 不管用那一种招式,只要过关了就是赢了.. HAHA.. but i a bit skeptical hes juz bluffing one.. scarcely later nvr call back again

ask mi to b more vocal.. dotz.. i oredi try to elaborate as much as i can liao.. those tat can 仙 one i oso 仙 liao.. no network skills oso 仙 tat i got take in uni so i noe.. no call centre exp oso 仙 tat i got observe how my cust svc colleagues work.. how patiently they ans cust queries etc.. when in reality they slam phones when angry n scold ppl behind their backs.. haha.. if those statements n yes/no qn oso need to b vocal den mayb heres how i shld ans:

Stmt: so u r a fresh grad from nus.. bachelor of computing
Ans: actually hor grad mani mths ago liao lor.. sei-gor oredi.. everytime go interview oso reject lor.. v grateful u grant mi this interview man

Qn: so u come frm a family of 5.. the middle child?
A: yalor.. tell u a secret.. actually my family all piggies one leh.. haha.. pig papa n pig mama a bit puipui de.. den pig bro n pig sis eat fried food la oily food etc eat like free but still wont get fat! even can go sleep staway after eating one leh.. i hor eat a bit den will pui liao.. eat liao staway sit down oso will pui u noe.. life's realli unfair hor

Qn: so ur expected salary is 1800?
A: actually hor most of my frens earn 2400 de leh.. i oso want 2400 but i scared put tat in resume will scare away employers n no interview u c.. so i put 2000 look nicer lor.. pass interview liao den c if the company will 做人 or not n offer slightly higher or not lor.. but den ur company so kiam siap one oni offer 1800.. bobian lor i despo liao so i lower to 1800 lor.. give n take lah.. i agree 1800 den oni work 5 days n no OT can?

haha if realli want to b more vocal the interviewer will pengz

after tat den got another call for interview for another 1800 pay job.. but this one is non-IT n location nearer.. n it got a bit overlap wif wat im doing now but mine is more more more basic.. i think it still requires those 遥不可及 comm skills.. mayb can try b more "vocal" n c hows the results.. haha.. aniway the interview is TMR! i ask for leave again oso paiseh.. lucky the woman nvr nag nag nag but she still got say wat manager dun like etc n she still look at mi for v long but i juz act pitiful.. haha.. aniway these few days her attitude a lot nicer oredi.. mayb last few wks she pms..

acting lesson

nxt mon going for "acting" lesson again.. learn how to act enthu.. how to act like i got gd comm skills.. how to act like my IT skills r v gd.. -__-

the woman who recommended this job is the same as the one who slammed the phone on me after asking for my "realistic" pay for admin.. if phone manners r not required for her job i think i can pretty much do the job too.. nvr intro who she is n where she is calling from.. juz directly ask mi if im int in the job.. n the worst thing is she dun sound like shes int in helping ME find a job.. rather shes juz int in fulfilling HER quota..

she: u noe how to troubleshoot?
mi: i haven worked b4 so im nt v sure
she: but u study IT rite? shld noe how to troubleshoot ---> this is a v stupid assumption.. i dun even noe how to troubleshoot my laggy comp
mi: ... a bit
she: how abt network? oso noe rite
mi: .... ---> i oni took ONE mod in networks which is like 4 mths at max n my network skills sux
she: how much is ur expected pay?
mi: 2000
she: can lower?
mi: how much?
she: around 1800
mi: ... ok ---> watever.. 2000 so low oredi still want to lower.. basket

mon go there waste my half day pay oni.. no network skills no exp in troubleshooting pay so low place so far.. got job of cos muz try lah but its the recruiter's attitude tat irritates mi.. die die want mi to go n assume i noe everything.. application specialist.. sounds high class? 1800 oni.. doubt they willing to train oso..

sometimes i realli wonder how other ppl can find jobs.. their comm skills realli tat gd meh.. they realli enthu abt their jobs meh.. juz gd at faking oni.. c so mani poor attitude ppl around.. i wonder how they got their jobs one.. ppl like mi wif no gift of the gab n nt gd at acting shld either go die or settle for some low pay job.. bloody hell so mani idiots out there competiting for one job.. those bastards.. opps.. pardon my language.. 一时情不自禁.. hurhur.. damm fed up oredi

偶的心声

this morn my father asked mi if i working IT..

mi: work part-time lor
him: IT ar?
mi: no lar.. office work lor
him: work as wat?

dunno how to tell him work admin in chinese.. so i told him 打杂的... haa sounds so pathetic.. den he say this cousin work as accountant, tat cousin work as teacher, another cousin grad soon blahblahblah.. hear liao oso sian.. all machiam high-flyers like tat.. these ppl shld stay away from mi man.. haha

since pig has her own songs at 猪猪诗歌乐园.. i copycat n write my own song oso.. haha.. 一首属于自己的歌.. at this pt joi chua's song suddenly appear in my head.. “有你多好 幸福再远 我愿意陪你冒险”.. all bcos of the incessant advertisements playing on tv.. -__-

《偶的心声》 (改编自 《借口》)

看着我的 resume
真的 cannot make it
去年的冬天
我还在 NUS
那时读书很幸福
却整天在 complain
现在没工作
后悔已来不及

也许我没好好读书
所以现在找不到工
我知道我自己做错
请再给我一个机会
我会 work hard 的

就算我有 degree
却没有 IT skills
那些死 company 通通不要 train 我
什么 .NET ERP (*)
臭学校通通没教
想当老师
又怕被那些 si ginna 气死

我真的厌倦了
老天请保佑我
快让我找到一份高薪的工作
最好不用做 OT
一星期只做五天
每月两千
我就满足了

每天翘脚
是最好不过


(*) ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning.. not Electronic Road Pricing

no more lifeline

think i juz busted my lifeline tdy.. haha

first time c so mani ppl waiting for interview.. each interview oni 5-10 min.. v fast my turn liao.. went in den got 1 guy 2 women.. first qn n the guy staway shoot mi wif y this career? so i juz toke bull abt how i "enjoy" conducting programming labs.. finish toking n the guy still looking at mi.. so i say IT v hard to find job oso lor.. he say i got try or not.. fei hua of cos got lah n got rejected a lot of times.. duno if they will interpret it as i using them as last resort or not.. haa

starting still ok.. they asked wat i noe abt sec.. toke v general like wat streams n wat r the job scopes.. den the guy say i chose chi n eng subj n if im ok wif the subj they give mi.. sounds like a trap so i ask if it will affect my chances or not.. he say assume they give mi these subj den ask mi to choose cos they need to noe my preference.. of cos choose chi lor since its my MT mah.. 讲华语,是福气,被失去.. haha.. of cos i nvr say this in front of them lah.. but they look a bit surprised n the woman say they can reflect to the board.. no need for mi to request to change the subj.. haha.. but mayb i shld juz keep quiet n say im ok wif the subj.. juz say phy nt ok can liao.. but nvrm lah its over oredi

after tat another woman ask mi how i propose to incorporate IT into their system since i study IT.. dot dot dot.. another person who thinks IT ppl r all experts.. toke bull again like use software to educate them etc but i din realli expect this qn so i kind of toke rubbish a bit incoherently..

guy ask mi to elaborate more abt the lab i conduct so i toke abt how i "taught n guided" them when i din realli do anithing except stone there n wait for 2 hrs to pass.. heh.. the worst part is everytime i finish toking then the guy still look at mi like waiting for mi to carry on or wat.. or mayb hes looking at my pimples.. -__-.. dunno if i need to wave in his face n say hello? i finish toking liao.. last time tat IT manager oso.. keep looking n looking until i stop toking den he will like wake up from his trance n nod his head n say ok.. -__-"

after tat he ask mi to elaborate more abt the IT incorporation again.. like wat i propose to do etc.. -__-.. so i say need resources.. like money n time lah.. money for labs n pcs n software (actually now most got labs liao hor.. my suggestion sounds a bit stupid now).. n time for e-learn cos its not realli part of syllabus.. more like spending xtra time outside course.. nt v gd reply but tats the best i can think of at tat time when the guy keeps staring.. -__-.. den again he look n look when i oredi stopped looking n made mi feel so uneasy.. think i look v frozed up n unconfident to them oredi.. all tat guy's fault lah

10 min later den they say ok finished.. cant think of ani qn to ask them since i asked other ppl oredi.. juz asked how long i need to wait when i oredi noe the ans.. haa..

so wait for their rejection letter lor.. those children will b spared.. haha
