Zinc Outing FTW!

よし!Hellow to all! Miss`Sillies and I would be heading downtown to have lunch and a movie session. Anybardi care to join us for a catchup session? We'd be meeting at 11am (I'd explain later why the early time slot.) at Dhobby Ghaut MRT Control Station. Our plan for the day would be Marche (Heerans) for lunch, and we'd be watching 881 OR maybe a Kbox session! (If we could get JellyFish for the partyworld discount thingy... All the better. XD) Okays, whoever wants to come along could just call either of us. But we're not gonna call you to ask if you're coming okay... You're gonna come at your sole discretion. We're not going to 三请四请。XD

Okays. Let me share an anecdote of what occured this morning at 10am.

My handphone on the table. Heard a buzzing sound with my ultrasoft ringtone (I don't like loud, smoky ringtones.) Groggily, I picked up the phone.

Caller : Hi, is this Tiffany?
Me: Yes, hi. (Semi awake notion.)
Caller : Hey I'm Ernest. I'd like to ask if you're still looking for a job?
Me: Yes, I'm still looking for a job. (More awake now, recognising his intent.)
Ernest: Do you remember the interview you went for with XXX? They think you're good and they want to hire you. Could I know what kind of job you're looking for?
Me: Errr.. 5 day admin job. (At this point of time, startled. XXX got him to call me to ask me what kind of job I'm looking for? WTH? )
Ernest: Okay, I'll give them a call and I'd get back to you.
Me: Oh okay, thanks.

I went to the toilet, and was just looking at myself in my mirror when I heard my phone ring again. Thought to myself, "Can't you take abit longer to call back?"

Me: Hello.
Ernest: Hey, DBS has a 5 day admin job. Starting pay would be XXXX, upon confirmation XXXX. It's not as high as sales jobs though.
Me: Oh. I've got better offers at XXXX...
Ernest: It's actually around the same pay as upon confirmation, and that with OT pay, the pay would be around the same. Morever, there's positions whereby you can rise to.
Me: Oh okay, yea.
Ernest: So when are you free for the interview? Any day next week but Tuesday.
Me: Erm... Next monday? (I was thinking... How come I get to pick? Isn't interview times usually allocated?)
Ernest: Okay, what time would be good for you?
Me: Erm... Say 10am? (I even get to pick the time... WOW)
Ernest: Okay. I'd inform them. Please look for XXXX when you get there. Bye!

Thinking about this really made me laugh. They actually called me up to ask me what kind of job and even offered me a job. The company in question is actually a bank in Singapore. They even let me choose my interview date and time. The first one was an allocated one. I feel so honoured. I ain't not used their services in vain. XD. Oh wells. I'm that lucky. Sweet~ And this is why I request to meet at 11am. Hees~ Okay. Who's coming?
