Last thing first. When I was about to reach home, I remembered that I had a missed call from an unknown number. I was at my doorstep when I returned the call. She answered the call, and the first thing she asked was "are you still looking for temp job?". Initially, I thought that she was the pet shop owner, calling to ask me if I'm still available to work at her shop. Then she was telling me about Sentosa and to go for some walk-in interview. Her voice sounds like Yan Fang, but is is unlike her tone. Then it struck me, the way she talked has a slight accent. I asked her," are you Cindy?' She replied," ..you thinking of another girl.. " or it sounded something like that (I was very tired, I could not catch much of what she was saying, only heard 'temp job', 'Sentosa', 'walk-in', 'other girl' and 'Serene'). All my guesses were wrong. She is Serene as she 're'-introduced herself to me. Then we had a short talk about looking for job.
Talking about jobs. And almost everything about me. When things don't come, they disappeared, vanished and almost like avoiding me. But when things come, they come in bunches, and the more it comes, the better it gets. Last time, it was outings. This week it is job opportunities. After December, I've actively asked many people about job vacancies, no one seems to be of help. I've sent out many resumes, but there was only one response. I've went to the pet shop behind my house and she said that she will keep me in mind and call me when the place gets besy (CNY period). But there was no call or email for so very long. Just 2 days ago, Aloysius told me that I could work at his parent's company. Last night, I heard my Mother said that my3rd aunt asked one of SA junior school staff if there are any vacancies for relief teaching because I am interested. He informed her that I can go down to the school to look for him. Just this afternoon, StarHub's staff called me and told me to go for an interview tomorrow afternoon.
For tomorrow.

One Month's Time
If you spotted the trend. It is really happening once every month.
My blog entries.
It is one month since Joel left Singapore for Caribbean. And only until now that I have 'spoken' to him (via MSN). So all I want to say now is that he is an extraordinary man.
Ah, today. A job found me. Aloysius called me in the morning and asked me if I'm still wanting a job. I asked him about the nature of the job and he replied that I am to be a driver for his father courier's company. I then discussed it with my father before agreeing to it.
When I reached there, I joined Aloysius, his father, and his cousin (who worked with his father too) for lunch. After lunch I had a conversation about dogs with his mother, because the real guy (the permanent employee) doing the delivery is not ready yet. Soon after we (actually only I) ventured into the strange world of MacPerson, West Coast, Bt Batok, Clementi, Sunset Way, Industrial Estates, Science Parks etc. He is very familiar with all these places, not me, I only do the driving, he knows the way. But even before the van was out of the building something scary happened; I accidentally drove too near to the multi storey carpark's wall and scratched the side of the van. Actually nothing much else happened, I drove there, he got out and sent the item, he got back into the van and I drove off to the next destination.
Except only one place. Sunset way area. While I was waiting for him (by the way he is Uncle Leong) in the van. I saw someone whom I know from the right side mirror. She was jogging. I never thought that it would be so coincidental. She is the one of the TL from BT Timah NPC. I got down and spoke to her. As usual, she talked only about work and Police stuffs. She asked me to consider joining VSC. It was a short conversation. I resumed my work after that.
Going back to the office was a tiring effort. There was a traffic jam and my feet were aching because I had to constantly exert force on the paddles. It was not a easy feat but i managed to complete it. For the sake of going home.
When reaching the office, I've noticed a very familiar blue-merc behind my van. Aloysius was driving it. We were at the dreaded multi storey carpark. Upon reaching, we got out and proceeded into the office. Aloysius's mother suggested that the van should be parked at a certain lot. Aloysius then took over the key and decided to give it a try. He failed. He said," I give up." Couldn't even start the vehicle properly. Haha.
Before we leave, Aloysius and his mother inspected the damage that I've unleashed. She told me not to worry since it is only a small scratch and a dent. I was comforted by the words she spoke. When we leave that place, Aloysius sent me to a coffee shop near my place so that I can have my dinner. That's about it all. Thank God for letting Aloysius be my friend, and thanks Aloysius that your father's company has a vacancy for me!!
Haha! I'm s$50 richer!
