SHENTON WAY HERE I COME!
since school ended, ive been slacking so much that finding a job didnt quite cross my mind. yup. but i was pampered by a kind few who've offered me potential "lobangs". like a certain "him" who said he can make arrangements with his buddy to let me do mystery shopping and earn 50 bucks per shop, or work at another of his buddy's boardgame cafe (somewhat like settlers). then there was jiahui who offered me a chance to take up an interview opportunity given to her for an office job.
i declined their offers... cos i didnt wanna rely on that certain "him". and as for jiahui's offer, it was almost perfect just that the job involves accounting. or maybe these were excuses i gave myself, cos i just wanted to bum around and waste my hols. haha.
but last week, it was during a chat with my "godfather" that i began to feel ashamed of my childish behaviour. i realised should make use of this opportunity (now that im no longer busy with those stupid projects) and earn some quick bucks. feeling guilty of wasting 2-3 wks of hols, i just bluffed that i was "in the process of finding a job".
i thought that he asked purely for the sake of asking. like you know how adults like to ask kids "how old are you" during family gatherings. stupid questions that they wouldnt really bother about. but i guessed wrong. he's an amazing guy. and i was surprised with a call from him on friday saying that he's giving my name to Deloitte.
then today, ive got a call asking me if i can join their tax department tomorrow.
either the job's really sucky or my "godfather" had put in good words for me, for they didnt ask to look at my resume, my grades at school whatsoever. yup. hopefully it all works well man. so far, everything sounds good to me: the pay, the working hours... except for the place... i cant believe im working in the same building as a certain someone im trying hard to avoid.
it is a small world. and just as my life is blessed, it can be quite tragic at times. but nonetheless, im so glad for the nice people out there who had me in mind. really touched.
and speaking of earning bucks... im starting to have ideas on going into a mini-venture with one of my besties. i dont think that there's a fool-proof method that gurantees successs. but if you dont try, you'll never know. yup. wish us the best of luck. as to what business it is, i'll keep it a secret for now. let you guys know when we've got solid (and i do mean solid) plans. (:
