short update! i've quit my previous job. i was already contemplating to anyway. my dad woke me up that morning and i was like "oh i've quit." haha. and many thanks to nick, i've gotten myself a job. never mind the fact it doesn't pay that well as compared to what myews paid me. ah well. better than being unemployed in any case. and something's on on sunday. i'm not telling you just yet. and nope, it's not my party, not to worry. ;)
and presenting to you. photowhores galore! and it's not that i'm a himbo that i didn't know. i tried adding photos once but somehow they didn't turn out? and i never bothered trying again. until now. omg. so idiot-proof lah! nahhhhh! presenting you my loved ones...

vers il y a 4 heures, tu te dormis dans le bus. je me suis assis à côté de toi. et, tout a l'heure, tu te dormis sur mon épaule. j'ai fait rien. j'étais heureux. sis les gens commencés pour bavarder, je ne me suis pas inquiété. je sais j'étais heureux. mais je peux seulement souhaiter...

and i quote from mel...

"Fizan, my good friend since pre pubescent times, (lol?) ran into a scary incident this evening. I wasn't there to witness his near death escape from some rather grotesque looking, cannot make it prostitutes.

Now before you think he frequents these kinda places, let me assure you he just happens to work there.

I mean.

Anyways, here's what I could come up with from how he related the incident to me. He was sobbing and sweating profusely, really. Haha!

Achi-achi(with the come hither me look): Boy, you come over here. I have my rrrrrrrrred nightie on. I am too SEXY! come to (m)amma now! *roars* Nono, don't you dare say nandri to me! No nandri! neh-heee!

Fizan (to himself): Freak! Lemme outta here I need to watch Ryan Seacrest on AMI!

Lol."

it was freaky, seriously. not just prostitutes. transvestites too! one with the CFM look! and just to clarify, i don't work there. i work near there. booooooo.

work hasn't been fun, seriously. what's a euphemism for tele-marketer? i dont know. argh. that's basically my job. and i dont like repeating the same lines over and over again. coupled with some gems attitude people can give. and to get 5000 entries by 27th april is absolute madness. it's a coincidence i assure you. bah. and so i've worked for 7 days. and i'm $420 richer. or, i'm almost crumpler bag, lacoste essential cologne and a philippe starck watch richer.

or not. i've been wanting to quit since like what? the second day? and that kinda burgeoned to the extent that i even started sending resumes from my office. haha. the pay's good but the passion isn't there. how? freak it. i'll probably send in my e-mail of resignation later tonight? haha. je ne sais pas! argh.

i kinda enjoyed my weekend last week. had a house party at one of my french classmate's house. potluck. so i thought of bringing my all-famous meringues. twice i baked, twice they didnt turn out. wtf? anyway, it was fun! c'est bien! tres bien! that classmate's a total cook lah. she's always baking stuff and bringing them to class for us. total french night, i tell you. we watched notre dame de paris, conversed in french and played french games! i thoroughly enjoyed myself! had an eye-opener later that night too. heh.

went for my cousin's wedding yesterday. i didn't wanna go, but since i promised them, i went. and no regrets man. bitch fest! i was gossiping with my cousin and three of my aunts. can you believe it? and i realised i've quite a number of pretty pretty relatives. and i cannot stop gushing about my stewardess aunt. she's damn damn pretty! think she's the epitome of the singapore girl. :)

was talking to her and another of my aunt regarding my cabin crew interview. and i posed this question. "if i get in, do i study or see the world?" over to you guys now!

je suis désolé. lo siento. ik ben droevig. sono spiacente. perdóname. gomenasai. mujhe maaf kardo. przeprasza. sli'kha.

my routine of waking up, checking email for job alerts, sending out resumes shall stop with effect from tomorrow. haha. i've gotten myself a job! wheeness! a good paying one at that. freak those jobs/companies whose requirements state "bilingual in english and mandarin". :)

and from being a desperate seeker of jobs, now i have the chance to reject 2 others! haha. went down all the ulu serangoon gardens for a position at mr tan ee lee's company. not very impressive, i tell you. the company's an SME and it's housed in a well, house. i had the impression that it was a big company, building and all. had to rely on www.streetdirectory.com which didn't really help. so the bus went past this industrial'ish area, nice buildings and all. thinking it was that, i alighted. yes, i mis-alighted. was very disappointed when i actually got to that company. they were gonna offer me 5 an hour and i told the girl it's too little. plus there'd be cpf deduction! so she said she'll get back to me. but what the heck!

anyway! i'm gonna be an admin assistant at this small internet company tomorrow onwards. the job entails a lot of making phone calls, so the owner interviewed me through the telephone. he even made me speak french! haha. he interviewed about 20 plus and shortlisted 8 for a face to face interview. and i was one of the 8, so went down to see him yesterday at this lil quaint shophouse in err, serangoon. he needed 2 temp staff and he said he'd get back by last night. and up till midnight last night, his e-mail didn't come. so this morning i e-mailed him and said "disappointment aside, do consider me should there be future job openings in the future." and he called me an hour later and said "hafiz, you've got it all wrong!" haha. embarrassed like i've never been before.

and! i got a call on sunday too from quiksilver. [surfer fiz!] they shortlisted me for an interview, which was yesterday too. so there i was bullcrapping to that lady. "i love meeting new people" and all. and the way she spoke was as if i'm confirmed for the job like that. her higher boss will get back to me next week and i'll try asking if i can work on weekends or not. haha. staff discount man! though, i highly doubt that.

was talking to nick and he used this phrase "humpthumb him." humpthumb? i hentam him lor. what else? machiam? it's macam please. kana/gana? kena. what else, my malay friends? sorry for bitching, but i don't like it when the words get mutated.

anyway! i just came back from grocery shopping. went to buy my stuff for potato salad. mini-celebratio tonight! haha. and yes! there's a house party this saturday at a french classmate's place! think i'm gonna bake meringues. yayness. okay! work starts tomorrow! money money money. shopping will resume! anyone? :D
