Yes i'm currently looking for a job. Let me know if you have any lobangs. I would like to work in a hotel hahaha i think i was influenced by tvb dramas.

Let me tell you a thing or 2 about job-seeking. If you're looking at the financial/banking sector, and would like to work in a big bank, you better at least have a 2nd upper honours, and start attending recruitment talks next semester cos many of them start hiring in sept/oct. In fact, you should get an internship.

If you don't mind not working for a big bank, and is contented looking for a job in websites like jobstreet or jobdb, you will see that almost all of them are looking for:

financial consultants
financial planners
wealth/risk management executives
business development managers
management trainees

3k-10k!!!!!

I can tell you that all of them are the same: sales job. So if you don't wanna sell things then don't bother looking. Of course it is possible to really earn 10k if you're inherently talented and hardworking cos i know of at least one such person :)

Then, some employers will list down something like this:

Looking for marketing executives. Must have at least 5 years of relevant experience with a proven track record. Must have own contacts from the media/f&b etc.

Huh! So many requirements! It's not even some big shot management position. Don't expect training. They wanna ride on your experience and CONTACTS? If i have 5 years of experience, i only can proceed to become marketing executive?? :''''''''( I'm thinking, if i have experience and contacts i could set up my own business.

In fact, if you look carefully, many 'marketing' positions in fact involve sales, so make sure you understand that!

Don't get too excited when you are short-listed as a management trainee, because one of them i went for, is again a sales position which involves a low basic + commission. I was told that if my performance is good, they will raise my basic salary. As they aspire to expand overseas, i will have the opportunity to travel.

Ahem. All these are just talk. It's up to you to believe. Especially if it involves a contract, you gotta think very carefully. It sounded so good to me initially, until dondon told me it's dodgy and not trust-worthy hahhaha cos what if the commission is low/ very few opportunities to sell? You might be stuck doing sai gang for them at a low basic for 2 years. SO TRUE! I'm so stupid, it took me a while to realize. I'm not saying that they intentionally want to scam me but i'm kinda risk-adverse. I'm the kind who will pay high premium.

Another discovery: you know how people use to think that modeling agencies are scammers? They 'talent scout' you, make you pay hundreds for your 'portfolio', then never call you again. Well, some are really not scammish. There are people working behind getting commission for every assignment they manage to clinch for the models, so yes they are working for you!

You are right to say they 'talent scout' average people to become 'models' because talent scouts get paid commission too. But if you know you are talentless and average looking then please don't spend $400 taking pictures then claim that the agency cheat you, because genuinely no one wants to hire you to brand their product/shows. They are not responsible in filtering people who think they can be models.

Whee hee! How do i know? I was shortlisted for a position- not model!

Dondon's has gone to climb mountain again! This time the mountain's called 'tahan' hahhahahha....

Today i asked him "who's your best friend?"

He said "erm, dunno. don't have."

"huh! i'm not your best friend meh!"

"you're my girlfriend. different."

"girlfriend also can be best friend what."

"er."

"let's be BFFs."

"what's that."

"best friends forever."

"oh i thought is boyfriend friend or what."

"haha! i wanna be BFFs!"

"ok."

The "ok" sounds like the "ok" pear says when i tell her i will become a hotelier and she can stay in my hotel for free.

I told dondon that i'm going to be a working woman, and become too mature and sophisticated for him and he laughed. Nobody takes me seriously! What's wrong with all of you!!!!
LingS | 11:57 PM

Aiwei! you tagged me so i have to be tagged haha...

1. At what age do you wish to marry?
Used to be 24, like aiwei. but the future is too far and blurry for me now. currently, i do not see anything like getting married. so, maybe never!


2. How many children do you want?
2. but then again, maybe 0.

3. What I want the most now?
Erms. stability. find a direction in life then get a job haha.

4. What do you want to be when you grow up?
I wanted to be a ballerina, a fashion designer, an interior designer, a film director, and many more. But they're all frivolous. One of my childhood dreams (out of manymany but a more realistic one) was to graduate from university and work in one of the tall buildings at raffles place. I came close to that dream when i went for a bank interview last week. The view from the office was amazing; the singapore river was just beneath me, you could almost see half of the island- the parliament, pandang, singapore flyer, suntec, esplanade, habourfront, cable cars, even the sentosa merlion etcetc. But really, now i just want a traveling job, re-locate i also don't mind.

5. If you can have 1 more dream to come true, what would it be?
My dream is to have 1000 more dreams hahhaa because i'm lazy and just want to sit around waiting for things to happen.

6.What are you afraid to lose now?
The people i love.

7. If you meet someone you love, would you confess to him/her?
Hmm. I guess not. I will make him fall in love with me, which would surely happen. hahaha!

8. What would you do when you're feeling down and depressed?
Whine about unrelated things, spend a lot of money, sleep, and expect people to cheer me up.


9. What are the requirements that you wish from other half?
Pfffffft i wouldn't want my future half to see this so i hereby scorn upon this question.


10. Which type of person do you hate most?
Stupid people. I know i'm not very smart, which makes me even less tolerant of stupider people cos they must very extremely stupid to be more stupid then me. They make me tear my hair out and cough blood.


11. Do you cherish every single of your friendship?
Every single of genuine caring friendship yes.

12. Do you believe in God?
I'm not sure if God is the saviour of mankind. sometimes i think he/she(not to be sexist) exists to make life difficult. i never understood why God prefers certain groups of people over others.

13. What do you think is the most important thing in your life?
I couldn't decide between my phone and my laptop. But i realized today that when a real fire occurred (another story), the first thing i grabbed was my phone and wallet. So yeah, i guess at the back of my mind i secretly wanted to change laptop soon. By the way i'm a fire survivor! yeah!!!

14. Do you find it a necessary for you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
If i say yes dondon will scorn at me. so NO.

15. What do you want your friend to be like?
Not like me. I imagined if i had a friend exactly like myself, clumsy, blur, fluffy, lazy, always late, i'll really hate her.

16. What kind of friend do you hope to be in your friends' eyes?
I guess someone loyal and dependable. and fun :)

17. If you have a change, which part of your character would you like to change?
Procrastination. big time.

18. If you're feeling low one day, who will you go to?
Aiwei says zhou gong hahha i think that's the most effective too. dondon can cheer me up but sometimes he makes me even more irritated because proving his point i-told-you-so is more important them cheering me up and he doesn't seem to realise it haha.

19. If you can turn back time, when and why?
I love my secondary school days. But i had to study so hard. Maybe freshman year :)


I have nobody to tag cos my blog is obsolete ahhaha but melody and ashley i know you all update your blogs frequently. you can be willingly tagged if you see this!
LingS | 10:55 PM

...sick and tired and almost resigned. i told myself i would be tolerant, it's ok to swallow more bitter pills but is it really worth it? urghh. puipui.

it's so easy to just be passive, sit around knowing someone will always be there to kiss your ass. right?
