I feel so bad to say this but i'm jobless and slacking at home in bliss... haha!! I'm not going to get a job till end of next month since i'll be going off on a holiday around the 5th of March if everything goes smoothly. My parents are treating me and obviously, me, being the ever filial child, won't reject my parents' offer. We intended to go to Japan. Hopefully, the travel agency is able to reach the quota which is pretty difficult i think since it's not school holidays. If it's not successful, i think i moan and cry and barf all my guts and heart out until the travel agency has no choice but to plan one specially for my family. Imagine only the four of us on the tour bus... hehe!
So, i have nothing much to do except to grow fat at home...
XXexpress is a damn bugger. Called me many times yesterday asking whether i'm keen to work. I already told her colleague last friday that i'll be going off for a holiday next month. Apparently, her colleague didn't tell her. She asked me how long my trip's going to be and when i'll be back. I bet she's going to call me when i'm back. Or perhaps, call me before i leave to find a job for me so that i can work straight after im back... I think i'm going to give a ridiculous excuse like "i'm pregnant. BUT, i'm still keen in looking for a job. why not call me in 9 months' time" That will be totally classic man!
It was great meeting up with qijiemeis for dinner last night. I miss my friends...*sniff sniff*
I don't like potato-heads... ... It's so potato-ishly irritating harping on past events that is so potato-ishly not my problem but why am i potato-ishly irritated by it... Don't understand. Life's an irony anymore. Live like a moron and you'll enjoy 'ignorant bliss'.

29th will be the day that i die...
I'm jobless again...
It's not as though i got sacked or anything... i'm a die-for employee. I'm responsible,initiative,adaptable,willing to learn, focused,humourous,cheerful person... sorry...i'm like promoting myself. But that's what we're supposed to do during interviews... promote ourselves... so superficial but it has to be done. The trick is to whack all your attributes or rather the attributes that you think you possess, as long as they are great things, whack without batting your eyelids...
I heard that a levels results will be released on 29th of Feb.... That day will mark the end of hazel's life. I don't want to get back. Can't i just live in ignorance? Completely unaware of my results. Ignorance is bliss right? hai~
Anyway, back to the topic which involves... what ah? oh ya! i'm jobless... i tried looking for a job. My mum wants me to work in the same company as her under customer service. I know customer service is a horrible job but according to my mum, she thinks i'm sarcastic enough to handle the stress of the job... *rolls my eyes* Anyway, so we happily trotted down to the HQ human resource department for an interview. (ok! i wasn't that happy ) Few hours later, the person in charge called and told me to work at Great world city. Said they are in need of people in accounting department. I politely declined because i wasn't keen to travel so damn far.... It's super inconvenient. Had to change a lot of buses and stuff... Gave me the excuse that people related can't work together. It's not as though i'll be working as a permanent staff... It's only temporary... Forget... quite pissed la... it'll be their loss anyway. I'm such a wondeful employee as mentioned earlier... hee!
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. customer service sucks. You get criticised, sweared, scolded, ranted, spewed for nothing. It's not your fault that the goods customers bought crashed on them. Not as though you pray zealously everyday for the goods to spoilt. Customer service is like the second worse job after cleaning... My mum even mentioned to me that everyone in customer svc has at least shed tears once... Imagine me having to bring a box of tissue. NO! a roll of toilet paper to add onto the dramatic effect to work everyday. and unroll a wad of toilet papers and cry on them while apologising fervently to the customers. can imagine? haha!
It;s such a tough job yet my mum recommended me to it. In this case, it means i'm really sarcastic. Am i really that sarcastic? Oh gosh... even my mum thinks i'm sarcastic enough to handle moronic/unreasonable/anal customers. Or worse still, handle sarcastic customers. In another words, i'm more than just sarcastic. Not mediocre sarcastic but belong to the sarcastic elite. Oh gosh... I'm sarcastic?

interviews are scary
I went for interviews today... since the festive period is going to be over and NOEL won't need so many part time workers, i guess i'm going to be jobless soon which means i need those interviews in order to look for another job...
First interview was 10am at JAC which is located at Tanjong Pagar. Mingyan and i got lost... BUT, we managed to sniff our way there.
We were first separated and ushered into different rooms. Honestly, the names of the rooms were ridiculous la... Mingyan's room was called "st andrew's" It's ridiculous to me in the sense that imagine you're working there and you want to meet a client in the room... you'll tell the client "Ok! i shall meet you at St andrew's. You go there and have a seat first." The client will definitely looked mootoofoodoo at you and don't understand wth is going on right... Why can't they just simplify things and call the rooms room 2 or 3? Anyway, i got bored in the room and decided to draw up the curtains to have a better view. However, the sun was too glaring and i drew the curtains down again in case the sunray is too piercing to the interviewer. How considerate...
Less than 10 minutes later, i was ushered into St andrew's (i can't remember the name of my room) to be interviewed together with Mingyan. we had two interviewers who looked immaculately dressed and groomed. I bet the male interviewer plucked his eyebrows... it's none of my concern but then ya... it was my first time being formally interviewed for a job so naturally, i could feel the stress... In my opinion, i did pretty ok for the first time except that i was crossing my legs and uncrossing them again and again cause i was nervous ma... and i hit the CPU located in front of me... The interviewers mentioned to us that we had to take note of our postures and body languages and be more prepared in future. Otherwise, we were ok and appeared sincere. Like duh~ Who won't appear sincere when they are in need of a job...
after that, we took mrt to the west--jurong east for another interview by recruitexpress. The interviewer asked whether we're keen to work in the west. definitely no no la! so damn far away... waste of time and travel expenses...

i'm alive
I got sucked into the lengendary Bermuda's Triangle and i swam all the way back...
Ok la! i admit la... i was just too lazy to blog... opps!
I think nobody cares much about cny now... I brought oranges for visiting but i never once exchanged mine with others.. My precious oranges were sitting comfortably in my bag for three days...
honestly, i find the idea of exchanging oranges abit stupid. I added the word 'abit' just to be courteous... anyway, no matter how many times you exchange, those spherical orange things will remain as mandarin oranges... so what's the point of exchanging...
my cousin and i wore black pants, dark coloured clothes but weren't berated by relatives... this is because their own children were wearing dark coloured clothes as well... hahaha!
i find visiting more tiring than working... this is because everywhere i went to, there bound to be car accidents... i saw many... two accidents which involved 8 cars kissing each other, one at scotts rd whereby a Lambourghini (not sure whether spelled correctly) got smashed into useless metal and another which involved 5 cars crashing together, another one at serangoon rd involving a bmw and Jaguar colliding with each other... imagine how many angbows that are needed to fix the cars... oh gosh.... those car accidents led to massive traffic jams and you know how frustrating that can get...
my job at Noel is going to end on Valentine's day... sad right? no date, no candlelit dinner, no outings, no programmes, no job... thursday is so going to be a black thursday.... wahahaha!
