Me Making The Money & Them Making More Tests

Well, so much for sitting on my ass for the holidays. I got a job offer and within that same hour I confirmed it.So that was that and I was due to start the next day.

Just entry level stuff.Mundane and routine stuff that is below the skill level of the office staff there.But,the money's good so I'm not complaining.Besides,I could use work experience.Cheers for me, cos it's the first time I've had a proper job.It's been long overdue.It's only for a while.A week,but,they could extend by another week more.Either way,I don't mind.

I don't have a cubicle.Instead,I've a small meeting room where I all my work.I'm left all alone and no one comes in or out,which is fine by me.It isn't too bad cos I brought my laptop and I have all my music and I can also surf through blogs etc.They say that they're going to give me my own laptop on Monday but I'm a little hesitant cos my music won't be with me and the music is the thing that keeps me company whilst I'm doing my work.

On Friday,after work,I went to meet the Teachers' Day cast + a the SAs and some excos to break fast with them and walk around Geylang and just soak it the sights.For some reason,I didn't feel the kick of the bazaar this year.

It was hot.Boy,it was hot in there.

Oh,it was cool that the VP liked the belated jellybeans.

Jellybeans rule!

I think that Mdm Salinah wants a celebratory outing,for all the events that we've done this year, with more members but I THINK we decided to wait till the MoneySense event was over,so we can sort of cover everything before we start on something new like the January intake orientation.

Makes sense I guess.

Anways,I got back home close to midnight which in hindsight,probably wasn't the best thing to do, considering that I had a PACE test at school the next morning.I only got to bed around 3 and I dragged myself out of bed and put on my formal attire (which is what PACESetters students wear when they're on duty) and got myself to school 15minutes before 830am,the time that we're supposed to come in.

Yet another PACESetters test.It was a roleplay test and we had to escort 'VIP' from the meeting point through to the lift,holding area,event and escort them out.Along the way,stuff like,small talk,mannerisms and how well we deal with the VIPs.The most irritating part is that the 'VIPs' pretend to be really stubborn or do or say funny things and put us testees in really difficult situations.I had no idea what to talk about for the 'small talk' whilst at the holding area but fortunately,a decent topic,Singapore and education and managed to bluff my way through somehow.I think that I was a bit too smart with my comments.But I don't really care now.My purpose was to keep them talking so there would be no silence and they wouldn't have time to thinnk about making life more difficult for me.Just before my test started,I was told that for me,my 'VIPs' would be the Deputy Principals of TP.I had no idea who they were.Thank God before the test started,I managed to ask Huda (I think that's her name) one of the 2nd year students and thankfully she was forthcoming with the names.

There might more more rounds of testing.They say they're not sure.They say that they'll call and tell us whether we got thru to the next round.The testing seems endless.

Waiting for the 3rd episode of Prison Break Season 3 to come out on Movieforumz.com.Michael Scofield's got to break out of prison..again.Haha.If I was him,I'd be frustrated.You just broke out of prison,managed to run far away,got caught and sent to prison there and now someone tells you,you have to break this particular guy who's in the same prison as you,break him out or else your girlfriend and your nephew dies.Yep,I'd be frustrated for sure.

Heroes' 1st episode of the 2nd season is also out.But I couldn't watch it during the week cos I was too busy.

So,I'm off to watch it now.

Bye,geezers!

=)
