another one bites the dust.

You know when I said temping at DBS was alright? Scratch that. It downright sucked. The freaking office is a madhouse I tell you. And the office is so depressing! Grey carpeted floor, white walls and ceiling, white fluorescent lights... do i need to go on? I couldn't even see the light of day! A couple of days later the only thought my exhausted brain could harbour was... WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO? Seriously, there's no way someone like me could ever survive in a bank environment. All these banking jargon thrown my way and having to master the customer care system in a matter of days was no mean feat. So... I chickened out and called it quits.

So of cos I had to be proactive and managed to find another job. The number one motivation was of course my depleting bank balance. So I went for an interview for a temp admin position today at the Civil Service College and got the job immediately. I start Thursday. It's a three-month contract, and I'm just glad that it's so conveniently half an hour away from home. Now three months is ample time for me to find a permanent job I hope. I'm really hoping to find an events/PR position. Damn, nobody told me it was this hard to find a job that you actually like. Call me picky, but I'm not going to settle for just anything. Wish me luck.

Talk soon.

divine intervention.

I just went through a 12-hour ordeal. No kiddin. My laptop crashed on me this morning at 4 while I was watching Glee and I was unable to successfully restart it. You know that hideous, scary black screen with all the computer jargons? It just kept saying 'main system file corrupted'. THE HORROR! My current toshiba (okay the honest truth is, it actually belonged to my dad. but i declared it mine after my compaq died on me last year. and consequently, my dad had to get himself another laptop. yes i'm a brat) has never given me any problems and it's one of the best PCs I've used. Also considering the fact that I have a million photos and songs that I haven't backed up, you can imagine just how harrowing it was for me to know that I might possibly lose everything. I swear, I might have been depressed for months if that really happened.

I went to bed this morning chanting 'this is just a dream... this is just a dream'. And no, it wasn't a dream. I don't know what I did, but I managed to revive it. But I highly doubt it was me at all. It must have been a divine intervention, I'm sure.

So thank you God. Thank you for saving my toshiba.

Hope the weekend's been good.

Talk soon.

revival.

Okay I know, I am probably the worst blogger on the face of earth. I've just been caught up with things and you know just plain lazy. Bite me.

So updates....

I am no longer working for the menopausal bitch of a boss. All her pent up sexual frustrations will send anyone running for the door. I completed my 2-month contract and decided not to continue. I enjoyed the work I did, but I don't regret my decision because there's no way I'm going to grovel my months there. Just thinking about what I went through working for her gives me shudders.

So until I find myself another permanent job (hopefully in events or PR), I am temping at DBS. It's been alright.

It has been a busy month, with Eid and all. It's the same every single year, yet it's different. You know what I mean?

This Michael Kors watch is currently on the top in my wish list.

I will make sure I own this by the end of the year!

Talk soon.
