THE JOB INTERVIEW
Woke up this morning with a headache. Guess im alr not used to waking up in the mornings. HA. Had a few so not connected dreams. Which explains my worries for the kind of job/life i'll have in the future.
Dream scene No. 1: The marathon cum alot of ppl running in a race.Location: Some school i think.
Ppl involved: My clique ppl, those ppl running whom i din see their faces clearly and myself.
Scenario: I dreamt tt i saw alot of ppl running and they wore number tags. They were running in a school scenario. I was walking then halfway i decided to join in to run too (yeah right this kind of thing doesn't happen to me in real life lah, im such a pig). So yeah i just kept running and running, until i U-turned and continue to run like siao. Funny thing was at tt U-turn, my clique ppl were sitting on a wooden bench. And Jenny said somethg to me like 'Eh run faster leh, we're all waiting for u.' HAHA. But seriously, in my sleep i could feel the 'run-till-im-breathless' sensation. Hmmmm...tt's not a very good sign eh?
Dream scene No. 2: Going to a job interview for SAFLocation: An officer's office
Ppl involved: An indian female officer and myself
Scenario: I entered this office, sat down and got ready for the job interview. Then, i looked up to see who's the interviewer in army uniform. AND GUESS WAD? I read her nametag and OMG, she was my sec sch fren who dropped out of sch in sec 2. I rmb i was very close to her and her mama knows me too. And yes, i still do rmb her name, Jassica R.J. HA. We ended up catching up with each other and i cun rmb if i got the job or not.
Dream scene No. 3: Me and XXX walking around a neighbourhood.Location: Some neighbourhood.
Ppl involved: Me and XXX.
Scenario: I guess me and XXX got together somehow and we were walking around in the neighbourhood. And she was hugging me by my waist while we walked and she kept smiling at me whenever i turned over to look at her. Erm, cun rmb how we managed to continue walking with her in tt pose. But come on, it's so damn funny to dream of me and XXX together. Cos ppl got bf alr pls. HAHA. I guess she smiled too much to me during the time in sch alr. Btw, if u're guessing who this XXX is, HA, she's not in our caregroup lah. Dun think too much okay ppl. -.-
So, are there any takers who cares to explain to me wth all those dreams were abt? DUH.
Okay back to reality, so i woke up early to go for this job interview at YYY company. The day didn't started well alr since i had a headache. And it didn't help much when the roti prata man sold me cao ta roti pratas for brunch. TOOT u lah u roti prata man. And while i was making my hair in the toilet it started to rain. WTH seriously. The rain became a POUR. There u go, my mood went right down into the drain. It's all a bad sign. BLEURGH.
This isn't the end yet. I wanted to wear my belt and couldn't find it. Searched the cupboard up and down, and in and out. Then i realized most probably my GONG GONG brother took it with him to camp cos he was gonna have this recruits night and had to be in home clothes bla bla bla. Shit lah. So i grabbed his another belt, took a few breaths in and buckled the freaking belt. Yes, my tummy is still as big lah. Like duh.
So i got out of the house feeling like sai and headed to YYY company. It's not very far from my hse though. Good thing was i reached early and bumped into a few pretty girls in uniform. Then they referred me to my interviewer, who's an aunt. HA. I hit the jackpot pls. Im good at seducing aunts. Bleah, just kidding lah. She asked me to fill in this form first and bla bla bla. Okay i'll fast forward to the interviewing part. It felt like a normal conversation until she popped the CSAS question: 'Sharon, pls tell me wad are ur strengths and weaknesses?' I stoned for a while and scenes of Ms Sng's face just flashed across my mind. Scary sia. But tt was manageable lah. Like the. Aren't we all trained and drilled well for job interviews? Thank u Ms Sng! Hur hur.
Okay, i didn't try to seduce the interviewer unless u count the times i made her laugh cos i made funny expressions or sounded silly when i related my past job experiences to her. It was until she asked me if i had any questions to ask her, so i popped the question if i had to wear tt ugly uniform. Alright i didn't have the guts to include the word 'ugly' in it lah. And she said temp staff no need to wear uniform, but just be in formal wear. Then, she asked if im always in pants and if i do wear skirts to school. Like pls read tis aloud
'WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD'. I was tt freaking close to saying something like 'I believe tt my sexual orientation does not affect my work abilities'. So basically im screwed for it lah, she was sort of questionning my sexual orientation uh. The interview ended with her saying tt she cun commit to me now cos there's still other applicants for this brainless job. So if she doesn't call me back in 2 week's time like wad she said, i think this job's a goner. See how nice isz to feel ostracized when u dun conform to how the society wants u to be? BUT WATEVER. This isn't gonna bring me down. Realli.
Neway, if u wna rub salt into my wounds, u shld have came and see how my ah mah reacted when i told her abt the skirt thingy during my job interview. She laugh till i couldn't see her eyes at all. And then she said 'See lah, she asked u tt to test if u're a girl or boy.' Like HELLO? Excuse me lah, tt woman addressed me as 'Sharon', of cos she'd have known tt im a freaking girl right? And my aunt poured a bucket of cold water on me with my wound still burning from the salt treatment when she said 'See lah, ask u to wear skirt u dun wan. Ppl want to employ pretty pretty girly girls wad.' HAIX. A big thanks to the ppl at home pls.
But before i went for the interview, dad was nice enough to tell me things like 'Go try lah, if the job is very complicating then dun wan it. Find somethg tt u're familiar with to work, it'll be easier for u. And job can slowly find, no need to rush.' Awww man. He's the only guy on earth who cares abt me. Eh..like the, cos he's my dad afterall wad. HAHA. Btw, im not gg China with him alr, he's gg alone cos tt's his miao hui event. But he asked if i wanted to take a short break and go somewhere else instead. Muahhahah. I guess my dad's the greatest lah. Alright, i shall make an exception to turn straight if i ever find a guy who's just like my dad. OKAY, IM JUST KIDDING PPL!! Did i make ur eyes popped out? HAHAHA!! But then again, i duno wad he's gonna say after he hears of the job interview crap. AH. I hope he'll just laugh it off instead of brainwashing me to wear skirts. Pui. Neway hope tt my mum has plans for me when i call her tonight. *crosses fingers*
And i think i'll have to continue finding other jobs alr. This is life, i guess.
p.s. If i ever woke up to find tt im a guy, i'll promise to call u up first.WAKE ME UP SOMEBODY.
