Finally, almost a month of the holidays have passed.
And I haven't found a job yet.
Okay, i went for a job interview yesterday. What I think - the boss/interviewer is wierd. The first thing he asked "ni shi zhong guo ren ar?" And the whole interview was in Chinese. I was questioned wierd things lol. Instead of asking the usual things, he asked me things like if I liked Hong Kong more or S'pore more(in response to the first question). And he also say I very young. Me suspects its a hint to a reason for not hiring me.
Okay, I DO ADMIT THAT I THINK THE REASON I WAS REJECTED SO MANY TIMES IS DUE TO MY DAMN HEIGHT. So far I've only tried for interviewing for those servicing jobs(what job can I do otherwise?), and I know people like to hire people who look good, which definitely includes tall. AHHHHHHHH.. I WANNA BE TALLER!!!!
Okay, at least this is not the worst case. 2 days ago, I was having a buffet dinner at Salt Water(Changi Village hotel). When my parents footed the bill, the waitress asked me what is my age to decide whether I am to be charged the adult or child price. HELLO? I AM ALREADY SIXTEEN AND A HALF. DO I LOOK LIKE I AM UNDER TWELVE? Grr..must be because of my height and "not matured enough look". Sadly, this kind of scenario seems to be in the genes. One of my aunts(maternal side) went to a pub and people asked to check her ID. But do you know, SHE WAS ALREADY 29 THEN. Worst still, when she was 27, she was at a flight in Cathay Pacific and the air stewardass gave her the Chilrens gift, mistaking her for a child. Then my another aunt(paternal side) said last time when she was on holiday when she was twenty-something yrs old, while the tourguide counted the children, he counted her as well, mistaking her as a child
WTF. This is so depressing. Don't tell me I am going to suffer the same fate. I guess the only advantage is that I don't have to look very old when I am in my granny days. Gah.
Looking on the bright side, my family and I went to Pulau Ubin 2 days ago. Thankfully it didn't rain and it wasn't too sunny. I was surprised when my brother told me that over 100 villagers lived there. The car plates there are also different. They are all green colour with PU being the first two digits. There are many wild chickens and dogs.
My Mum became very afraid of the dogs after a dog followed her and tried to grab the plastic bag which my Mum was holding from her using its mouth. My Mum gave a loud scream which scared the dog away. Not much things happened there. The 'SGP M1-3GSM' logo on me and my Mums phone turned into 'My Maxis'. Dad's one turned into 'My Celcom'. We also received messages like 'Welcome to Malaysia...'(when we are only in Pulau Ubin)
Want to upload photos but my computer is too lag. Went swimming today while it was raining(my family say it's cooler, won't have a blazing sun which cause hurt to eyes and prefers it this way).
I hope I continue to blog regularly. Feels like I'm already blogging less frequently.
Okay, that's all for now.
A random quote:(which i find useful)
*Don't think of yourself as a coward because you're scared. The difference between a hero and a coward is not fear, but what you do with the fear.*
