Just completed my 3 days part time job for a fair. I was helping a Japan booth and it was really tiring! But pretty eye-opening for me. I love observing people when I have nothing to do.. So there was really some people who fk-ingly irritate me. But of cos there was also nice people and heartwarming conversation.
Let me start with the irritating part. So the booth beside my booth was a Japanese company that sells really high tech equipment. I'm not sure what are they for, just know they look really expensive and whoever is selling them most probably earns lotsa money... So there was this father and son pair who is most probably locals who came for all 3 days to accompany the booth's Japanese boss and employees.
I overheard them and knew that this father is the distributor of the company's machines in Singapore. And then I actually saw his name card and learnt that he is a doctor/PHD.
Not surprised.
So, the freaking thing that irritates me about this Doctor is that he is fk-ing hostile. If he works with Japanese, he should know that he should smile and greet even people he doesn't know. But he didn't even greet my booth's Japanese, he doesn't even give a damn to smile or whatever... And he got this constantly arrogant shit face when walking pass our booth. And then his face is really weird because it is fk-ing red! Like it is so abnormal, it feels like he changes his blood everyday to get that overly-rosy face or most probably he eats 361861926 supplements tablets everyday. He totally looks like that sort.
He is most probably rich and he thinks he is distributing the most powerful equipment ever. By the way, he got the most cliche name ever... But I'm not gonna say it here to play safe.
You know if he got a son who is freaking good looking, I might just forgive this overly-rosy cheek hao lian doctor uncle's attitude. But you know what? His son is freakin fat! I know I'm bad, and I'm fat too. And i dont call anyone fat easily because I know how it feels to be called that. but you know it so justifiable to call him fat because, every single time he returns to the booth, he will be holding either a Watsons or 7-11 plastic bag with like candies or sweet drinks inside. And he is constantly biting something!!! And I think he is like as old as me or older than me.
And then everyday he goes to the booth, he stays there and do nothing except buying food for the Japanese and himself. and also CHEW on his food.
And not to mention, like his father he is also damn hostile and arrogant. And then he looks much less intellectual than his father. and I wonder why. Lastly, he is named after a scientific term most probably by his inconsiderate overly-rosy cheek hao lian milk daddy.
Did I mentioned that that son bought POCKY for the Japanese?
Didn't the years of education he went through teach him that POCKY IS FROM JAPAN? Why the fk would Japanese wanna come Singapore to eat POCKY?
Maybe they didn't because it is fking common sense just like how you call your dad's wife mom!!!!!!
I don't even know if the Japanese like him there all the time. Because everytime he is there, the booth gets so overcrowded. And then he has to stand near our booth with his fat arse covering our display. LIKE WTF RIGHT.
He didn't even bother to say sorry/excuse to us! FAT SHIT YOU.
Ok. enough said about the irritating pair...
So, the really cute part about the fair was the interaction between the boss and a group of ITE students.
This ITE girl came with her classmate and approached us for a brochure. Then she saw that my boss was from Japan so she said ''Arigatou!''. The boss, being nice, acted surprise and asked if she speaks Japanese.
So the conversation went on with her broken Japanese. It was all natural. and the group of ITE students said bye bye to us when leaving.
The boss asked me if they are university students. I was like errrrrr... i don't know how to explain ITE so I told them vocational school students.And they asked if there future doctors of Singapore. I lied and said maybe.
HAHAHAHA. thats a white lie ok, just wanna let him think that Singapore have really nice people as our doctors.
My boss had a really good impression of them. =D
Short and sweet.
My point is... why do idiots live better than nice people?
Is it because they are idiots so they get rich easily because they are idiots?
The group of ite students... hopefully they can get some decent technical jobs.
and what if that arse hole is one of our doctors? SHIT MAN.
You know I really hate the word ELITES.
There is no elites in Singapore in my opinion.
Probably just RICH PEOPLE.
Rich people who don't give a damn about their manners because they think money and their high education is everything.
Rich people who spend $362893742987429642 on a piece of branded bag/crap.
Rich people who spend $893274289643923742 on their wedding as if THEY ARE ROYALS when you are fking not.
DISCLAIMER: I don't mind if these people are really nice and mannered people. I'm talking about rich idiots who have no manners like the father and son.
I always believed that MONEY CAN BUY EVERYTHING.
Money can buy you a wife even though you are fking fat and chewy.
(THIS IS SOOOO THE CASE FOR THAT GUY)
Money can buy you friends to chew with you.
BUT MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU GOOD NATURE.
And damn, I have a good nature, I swear.
(pls don't judge me by the number of 'fat' i used in this post. I rarely say that on others.)
My motto in life:
好人有好报。
I know you are waiting for something more bombastic.
But seriously... 好人有好报。
做人就是如此,做好人做好事。
给别人一个微笑到底是有多难???

Just some observations...
Thursday, 28 June 2012
Why did I gave up on my job hunting? Part 1
I graduated from NUS FASS Communications and New Media during May 2011. I wasn't really proud of that because my CAP was so freaking low, I didn't even pass with Merit. And the reason why I didn't pass with Merit was because I forgot to SU my modules (wtf wtf wtf). I was most probably too happy about graduating at that point of time.
I was kinda ashamed of myself. I didn't wanna take graduation studio photos with my family, I did not even upload my convocation photos on FB like everyone did. Because i thought there is really nothing to be proud of.
Many friends/relatives asked why didn't i find a job (a outside kind of job) till now. (I'm working at my dad's place now). The story is too long to narrate but i'm gonna do it now... maybe time for some self-reflection...
So, after my grad trip to Taiwan, reality sat in... gotta find a job. I was looking for a job I think I'll like. I was really into graphic design and photography, I believed that I'm born to be an arty farty person, and that i'm a visual person, I can't do normal admin work. I didn't care that the pay was low, I sent resumes to company hiring graphic designers/photographers. I think I sent about 10... which is why many people thought I didn't really tried hard enough.
3 companies got back to me. Of cos, I shall not name which. The first one that got back to me was a Japanese Restaurant. I went down for interview and was given a test which was to come out with a creative ad for some student promotion. The interviewer was a really nice lady and she told me I can just go ahead with any ideas. Now looking back at what I gave them, I think I'm a big weirdo.

Obviously, they didn't like it and the nice lady said she could not understand my intentions. But she offered to give me a second chance. (I think they really needed a person or they really liked my portfolio) So I did the 2nd test, which is to create a brochure guide or their takeaway noodles... They like what i did and I was called for 2nd interview which a higher ranked manager would sit in.
So, I waited for 1 hour before they asked me in. They asked me a few questions and I answered as per usual. Then, the higher ranked manager said to me "We really like your work but it seems to me that you are not interested in this job. You look and sound like you are very sian." You know I wasn't surprise at all when she said that. Because many have told me my normal face looks like this:
I started realising it during secondary school, cos my friend drew this exact same face on the bday card to me and arrowed to say that's me.
And my voice............. don't let me get started on it... because i've heard ppl telling me "Why you sound so sian?" x 2893479834729834728 times but I was just talking like the most normal me.
&^&^*&(^&%#@# X 283729834729834723
Back to the interview... that manager finally asked me "SO ARE U INTERESTED FOR THE JOB?'' Flabbergasted, I didn't really know what to say. Because deeeeeeep in my heart there is this devil screaming "Aiya, this is just my first interview, maybe there is better ones in the future!!!", "This woman is gonna eat you up if you work here!!!!".
So I answered: "Maybe i'm not that interested in your company."
Suave.
This is not the first time I did that.
After A'levels, I did my first 3 months at Victoria Junior College. My results wasn't that good, I appealed through CCA. The reason I wanna go there because my ambition then was to be scriptwriter. (Rmb I told you abt my ''arty farty'' dreams.) Somebody told me I have to go to VJC to take Theatre Studies if I wanna be one. (I grew and realised this isn't true at all.) I'm a really chee-na person if you wanna use that word. So, I'm really unhappy in VJC especially when I'm in the arts and I just can't mix with those angmoh pais who don't use a single word of Mandarin. It's not even like the avoid it, they did it all naturally. That is tooooo out of my league.
So one day, I went into the principal's office and told her " Mrs XXX, I would to withdraw from VJC.'' She was another nice lady and she went "Oh no, can i know the reason?'' So i was thinking, maybe I should really tell her the truth.
"Cos, I don't like my classmates. I don't like this school. I'm unhappy when I'm here.''
Suave. Suave
That's me... around 6-7 years back then? Little crazy. Ask me to do that now? Ahahaha....
So of cos I didn't get that job, unless that lady was another crazy one or thinks I'm so talented that she can't lose me.
This post is way to long~ I'll continue on the other 2 interviews in another post.
bye bye!
