after many many countless resumes sent out, i got this offer to work as a marketing assistant. so i replied via e-mail asking what does the job entails etc. and up till about 4pm there still wasn't a reply. so i took things into my own hands and called the company up. "hello. is ms tan ee lee there?", "yes, mr tan here.", "no, ms tan.", "no, i'm mr tan ee lee." gosh. i so blew it lor. haha.

anyway, i dived straight in and told him i can only work as a temp since i'll be going to uni [and also, marketing assistant didn't quite allure me]. so he said he could only offer me 5 an hour since i'm a temp. then i asked him whether are they any positions available. to which he replied "well, we can create one for you. we're in the process of finalising things now." then things got a bit too quiet, so i told him to give me a call once everything's confirmed. and i went to check out the company's website! like freak?! he's the company director lah! omg. i so screwed myself. i actually asked a company director to call me lor. hahaha. freak.

that aside, i'm enjoying my french classes. aside from the fact that my indian female classmate keeps eyeing me. haha. scaryness. anyway! last week we were told to do this exercise in pairs. so i paired up with this polish girl. had so much fun laughing with her when others were all serious. haha. so she was like "so u're name is hafiz right? arabic name right?". i agreed and she said she loved my name. haha. mon nouvelle amie polonaise aime beaucoup mon nom! haha.

and yeah, i collected my certificate last week too. which is totally in french. there's this part which says "mention tres bien", so i checked the dictionary for the meaning for "mention". and it actually means "grade", and they gave an example "mention bien" is actually good/B grade. that means "mention tres bien" is grade A! wheeeee! happiness. ;)
