Sunday, December 11, 2005 || My so-called job offer, and two interesting new friends I just made.
- Listening to - Stevie Wonder - I just called to say I love you
Mood - Good
Okay, so a few days ago, I received a phone call from my cousin who lives in Singapore. =)
A few months ago, my cousin and a few of her friends from various beauty companies took a trip down to KL to attend the PWTC Beauty Exhibition (I actually blogged about it before, but I'm too lazy to find the link for the post.) ... And one of her friends that I met owns a company of her own, and apparently, is willing to hire me after I get my SPM results (... And assuming that I passed it. -_-). The pay is really good, and they're willing to 'train' me, whatever that means.
... And my cousin offered to let me stay at her place. Aww, so nice of her.
But the thing is, I didn't get it right yesterday, they actually may only hire me if I plan to work there permanently. Or a year, at least. -___- And my cousin thought that I might want to have a shot at working in Singapore, that's why she got me the job. Oh well.
But no, I haven't brushed that possibility aside yet. Because my lovely parents have just informed me that they might not have enough dope to support my college education ... UNLESS I WORK PART-TIME WHEN I'M STUDYING AS WELL. Which, according to my friends who are already IN college, is sort of an impossibility, considering the workload and assignments. So if I can't work things out with my parents, and if they honestly cannot support my education needs here ... I guess I may just as well take my chances and give Singapore a shot.
Who knows, right? I don't know, maybe I could still carve out a successful future for myself. Though of course, working in the Beauty line has never crossed my mind.
...... I still want to be a journalist. =( Hmm, maybe, some inexplicable miracle will occur and I'll get to study journalism in Singapore. Or if my parents suddenly strike the lottery. Swt.
IT SUCKS TO BE POOR.

Anyway, this is pretty interesting. The last two days when I was job hunting, I made two friends, both of them at shops that I tried enquiring for vacancies.
So this cute salesgirl, Cheryl, happens to be a junior of mine at my EX school (Wah, it feels damn nice to be able to say that.) and she said 'Hi' to me some time back. But I only got to know her more the past few days, as I was trying to dig out some information about her job from her. LOL. And it IS ironic, how I almost never talk to my juniors when I was IN school, but I'm friends with one now that school is over. =D
And there is this guy, Nicholas, whom I befriended awhile back when Cally and I were having tea in his Pearl Milk shop. (I think I blogged about it before as well, but I'm lazy to find the link, as usual.) This dude is an interesting one --- I've never met anybody that, uh, friendly and hyper before. He dropped out of high school when he was in form 4, I think, sailing on the same boat as my dear friend *****.
So anyway, today, I was checking out his Nokia 7610 for mp3s and I saw a picture of Nic and Cheryl in the phone. Much to my surprise (and amusement), Nic told me that they're a couple. And so we chatted a bit, and talked about watching King Kong this Wednesday with Cally and the rest.
...... And I offered to ask Cheryl to come along as well, since I was going to visit her shop later anyway.
This dude, Nicholas, went, "Oh ... Don't tell her I'm coming ya ... I'll give her a surprise on that day! :D"
Aww.
When I asked Cheryl later on, she seemed pretty enthusiastic about the plan. And she went:
"Great!!! Okay, I ask my boyfriend come along also can?"
Me: "Oh ... Nicholas huh? Hehehe."
Her: "EW! No!!!! My real boyfriend lah."
............ LOL.
Her: "Well, he works near me. He can help me to clean my shop and help out when I need food. Plus, he pays for my drinks ... So ......"
Me: "HAHAHA ... You don't like him wan ar?"
Her: "Erm. As long as he likes me, never mind lah. Hahaha."
So I was really amused by the whole situation. Naive guy goes after materialistic girl ... Materialistic girl already has a boyfriend, but pretends that she doesn't for the sake of it ... Naive guy really falls for Materialistic Girl ... Guy finds out about girl's boyfriend ... Girl "breaks up" with Guy ... Guy is heartbroken.
I've seen it so many times before. =_=
But after I left Cheryl's working place, I realized one very important thing that I forgot to mention: Nicholas is supposedly coming along on Wednesday to 'surprise' Cheryl. But her 'real' boyfriend is there.
LOL.
Actually, I guess that the only rational thing to do is to cancel the whole outing to avoid any, erm, dramas. But shit, naughty ole' me is YEARNING to see what will happen on Wednesday.
I should smack myself. LOL.
PS. I will change the layout soon. But seriously damn lazy now. -_- .... Though its gayness is really making me sweat ...
