i finally took that rough path

Guess what..I am going to work tomorrow. Not the kind of work I have been interviewing for. But I am going to do it. Because, finally someone thinks I am good enough.

By the way, I had to convince her to let me work... I only quoted A levels as my highest qualification, which is quite impossible if she thinks and looks harder at the details I gave her.. She asked me to apply for a higher position, but I flatly declined.. JJ's going to flip when I break the news to him later...

Anyway, I have to remind myself and take care not to behave as if I am too smart or something. Cos women are very very sensitive and my direct superior is female. Don't underestimate the works of female jealousy....

Once when I was working during the holidays at a law firm doing admin work, the secretary (only fulltime staff other than the boss) hated me and gave me a hard time..because she was quite overweight... and I am not. You would see her poring through cookery books for people on diets. You would hear her criticising my eating habits and dressing everyday...

There was this other time when someone was very against my age..cos she is 30 plus... Huhhh?? EVery word she says is thorny and a lot of it revolves around age.. AGe discrimination. She could be sued for this in other angmo countries. But pple in Singapore just don't do this..

ETcetc lah..but I still have a few more interviews I am supposed to go to.. I don't want to go anymore. I am not applying anymore. I don't care. I need a starting point, and albeit an unglamourous one, I will live. It's part of my back up plans actually..

I am so tired.. I stayed up chatting with my sister till 6am. We were chatting on new businesses my mother should go into. My mom has some crap ideas.. Let me quote you one -- Massage plus hair saloon. Massage done by non singaporean women. What total crap is this.. She got reprimanded by us like anything.. but she isn't listening.. But she won't be running this massage and hair salon business. Her idea is just to rent the place near her workplace and subrent it to others at higher rent. She would take commission for introducing her customers there too. I think..she will only create more social problems which will lead to more headaches and stress to herself....

My sister and I talked about what we could do together too, cos she's graduating and we both are lousy employee material.

Anyway.. when I came home just now.. my dad call me. I didn't call him at all. Oops..And he asked me what I want to eat so that he can go buy for me... I didn't even say I am hungry... And he's paying for my handphone bills --3 months leh. hee.. but not that expensive becos I am becoming a scrooge when it comes to handphone usage. And..he's still giving me allowance.. Sigh..I am spending a big part of his monthly pay away... Which he never complains about.. Aiyah..my dad is so nice to me... thank god..

there's also other members in my family...all very good to me.. they are just increasingly better..
mom, granny, sis, aunties, cousins.... all so nice.. touched.... <--- it's got nothing to do with my job search.

*******

by the way.. when pple leave comments in my blog.. I don't "reply to " their comments under the same section in the same entry ..get what i mean? it's like when I leave a comment at your blog, u will leave another comment in reply to mine in the same entry.. but i dun do that..

i am jsut wondering..if pple even go check back for my replies... so i dun reply..and if i need to, i will go to your blog to do so instead.... just incase, anyone thinks I dun appreciate comments left for me.. which don't? every one who blogs hope to see comments right?

and.. silly me..forgot that some frens of mine reading my blog. becos they don't tag, I don't even remember that they read.. So..everyday i just write as if nobody I know will read my blog. which is bad... becos not all things are meant for their knowledge...

now.. i refuse to give any other fren my blog.. I want to have more freedom in writing here.. Already, I have to censor quite a bit of details that I would have wish to share....

zzZZzzz...

Starting up your own business is a good idea. I would love to set up one now if I had the money.

Now no money cannot start. Next time, work up the corporate ladder liao, got family to feed, guess I would not want to quit my stable job.

Seems like this is never gonna happen for me
