I got into AIESEC!And to be honest, I'm really, really thankful for this opportunity and excited as well to be part of this student organistion which is easily the largest in number and has highest proliferation all round the world.
It's definitely by God's grace that I got in! All glory goes to Him!
And.... I've got a job tryout tomorrow!! As a waitress at this Malaysian fusion restaurant along Hutt St which is near where I stay.
I know, I know... coming from me, this is probably a shocker eh? Well, that's because I didn't mention how I tried out at the local Chinatown food court in one of the food stalls as well! I didn't think it went that badly but somehow I just wasn't employed :( But might as well I guess, working as a food server in a "zhap fan" stall in a foodcourt, my, that's was really quite an eye opener plus I wouldn't wanna subject myself to exploitation by those cheap PRC employers!
Am I that desperate for money? Oh well.. yes and no. I just need to take ownership for the money I spend. I mean I've never in my life learnt how to budget or save for a rainy day so I guess you'd learn how to appreciate money once you start earning them? Plus, I'm pretty sick of making myself broke all the time and just hang around and wait for the next allowance to come. So yeah... I made myself broke this time by going for Maroon5!! Yay!! It's tomorrow actually..
Anyways, the restaurant is really near my house so it's a real big bonus. I used to patronise that place pretty often in fact! Their char kuey tiao is really yummy! I think it was pretty awkward when the manager looked at my house address and then looked at me probably thinking I didn't need to be working there. But I do la, seriously. Stop stereotyping people!
But the real surprise for me is actually my parents being cool bout the whole thing especially since they didn't sound too keen when I mentioned working before this.
Ah... really really hope things go smoothly tomorrow especially since I've been fed back on how my actions are too "si man" for working in a foodcourt. And I just only recently found out that I speak too softly!! Man I never knew!!! I'm as equally perplexed as you are. I definitely don't think I speak really gently nor in a very composed manner la! It's either people haven't seen that side of me or I've mellowed. Oh noooo...... Where did my Mr Hyde go??!!
Oh and I only just recently found out that I don't exactly sound like how I hear myself to be. Meaning my voice sounds different to you compared to me. So for all this time, I've always thought I sounded like how I hear my voice to be but sadly, I don't. Apparently it's caused by some stuff in the head making echoes or something which I'm sorry for not remembering what I've been told, geez! Anyways, thank you people, for never once telling me how whiny I sound! Argh... I always couldn't stand my voice on recordings but now I know better. 21 years, very very late discovery indeed.
That's it for now. Thanks for listening!
