Oh hello! it seems like a trend blogging about results, so i shall follow suit. its strange, lynn has a miracle computer (apart from her miraculous loud mouth). she could access my exam results in tp's web portal at 12pm, and she called me immediately to help me check. thanks alot, now u know y u're my fren LOL. i was fricking having a SABA fish korean set meal when she called. the strange thing was, after lunch i went home at 2pm, i couldnt access my results, the records dun show anything... i asked alot of ppl, all of them didnt have their current semester exam result's records... and in lynn's com, she could see everything at 12pm! received the stupid sms by 4pm, and only at 5 plus then i could access my results online using my com. ok i got ALL B+. nth higher, nth lower. all 5 subjects also B+. satisfied and contented? of coz! super happy? not at all. but im happy enuf to know tt i pulled up my bloody GPA from 3.29 to 3.34. need to push it up to 3.5 at least. god bless me.
and oh ya, im still out of job. haha. its not tt im complaining. but normally during the hols, i'll be busy working. this sem, im out of job and 50% of the reason is bcoz i do not wana work haha considering the fact that this will be my last hols. next sem's hols will be eaten up by the cruel internship. but hey, i did try to get a job though. one of them is a telemarketer for UOB bank's credit cards. 5day week, $1200 per month. shiok right? but i quit the moment i stepped into their training. if i worked, i'd be required to memorise 50+ pages of notes consisting of eligibility of application for credit cards and the documents required for various credit cards. and there were at least 8 different credit cards. for a months' job, totally not worth the effort. and if u fail to meet their daily sales target, ur monthly pay will be cut down to $800, what a major turnoff. gabriel and rick also couldnt tahan the training programme.
haha so the next day, we went down to this company at farrer park. whoa this company damn power, the receptionist that greeted us really shocked me. he looked like a chao ah beng. chains on his jeans, huge ear ring, dyed hair which was SUPER SPIKEY. then i told gab.. whoa this guy looks like a typical guy who sells those irritating $2 donation tickets on the streets, something which i despise coz alot of newspaper articles revealed that those were fake donation companies. but with those thots aside we went to meet the manager, and whoa he super slack sia. he talked to us like he is our fren, and he told us this: "WE ARE A MARKETING COMPANY. WE COMMUNICATE WITH CONSUMERS THRU ROADSHOWS. UR BASIC WILL BE AROUND $1100." we were like.. GREAT! and he asked us to come for training the next day.
we came for the training the next day. they asked us to wait half an hour. then the EXISTING WORKERS went into this room, all of them were around my age. scary. then they shouted cheers after cheers after cheers. those kind tt ppl shout during poly orientations. super lame. then suddenly gab turned and told me: "HAHA GERALD U KNOW AH, SEMANTER LAST TIME WORKED FOR THE DONATION COMPANY, THEY ALSO LIKE THIS SHOUT CHEERS ONE." then i was like haha whoa thats interesting. but the next moment, i was like WHAT?! OH SHIT, DUN TELL ME...... then i saw this guy, he held a A4 board, it reminded me of sth. u know on the streets when some1 approaches u to buy a $2 donation ticket, he will show u something like a LICENSE to sell. tt A4 board looked exactly like the license. my thots ran wild.
then the 'trainers' came out of their CHEERING ROOM. a butch approached us, gab rick and i thot 3 of us were gona be trained together. in the end she took gab only. rick had an individual trainer and i had another chao ah beng as my trainer. he talk on the phone ah, out of 10 words got 7 words is hokkien vulgarities. his english is 1min past 6, he smoke until his teeth super yellow and gums black. the next thing, he looked at me and said this: WE ARE A MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION COMPANY. I BRING U GO CITY HALL, AND U COMMUNICATE. U NEED TO HANDS ON TO LEARN. FOR A START, U SELL DONATION.
right after he completed his sentence... i walked off and told him im not interested. 1000000 vulgarities rang in my head. i wasted 2 days of my bloody time on this stupid donation company. these type of companies should be condemned, and i hope all their workers and management rot in hell. so long and good night.
