okay. i just received a call from another job agency and confirmed my next job. heard that it's some proof-reading job at a college and i would have to make calls sometimes. if given a choice i would prefer to go for the media company job that amanda had offered. but she didn't call back last friday so i guess it's been taken up.

melvin (the guy from the other job agency) said that it's for a college at Buona Vista and as you know there's probably only 2 colleges in the west so i guess it's either one of them, probably the one nearer to buona vista. unless it's those distance-learning colleges but i doubt they would need people to proof-read things i suppose.

the salary was slightly lesser than btmu but the working hours would be comparatively shorter. 8.30-5.45pm. why 5.45pm i still can't fathom why. since it's at buona vista that would mean i have to wake up at 7 and leave my house like 730? which is 45mins earlier than usual. damn.

but well, i've told myself i need to widen my horizon and try other jobs (but proof-reading is part of my job scope in btmu!). and this job is ending at the end of the year (which suits me because i would love to spend time outside basking in the festive moods in december). at then i guess i would go email skatewithus.com again. or if i hate the new job then i would quit and find other jobs.

the new job also requires me to wear office wear. damn. my cousin would probably say you should have gone and work at MOE because they end early and you don't need to wear office wear! how ironic that i'm going to work in buona vista, working admin job when i said since last year that i don't want to do such jobs when my cousin recommended me the moe temp job.

also, such unearthly hours of working would mean that i need to change my driving schedule again. i've booked for mornings (the cheapest) but now i have to change to evening times. each e-payment charges extra 80cents! gawd. well, yesterday i've told myself that i need to persevere and stay motivated to learn driving. yongsheng is 10lessons ahead of me when i've started much earlier than me! and qingliang advised me to chiong through at one shot cuz you would forget things along the way. yesterday i was wondering how to get a car moving! argh. so now my aim is to get my licence before the yck ssdc moves over to woodlands in april09.

new job also means i can't crash derek and jesslyn's lessons at sim (unless they have night lessons. ha) and go for class gathering next monday! and i would need to take a day off for next next monday because i would definitely need to sleep in after chionging the F1 duty (friday 6-12am, sat and sun 12-12am).

oh well. for the sake of money! mr ng said that i need to stay grounded to focus on my goals.

on the other hand, ending work early means i can go running after i reach home! i need to be motivated and persevere for that too! (better start running before my second toenails grow completely out)

been listening to lots of english songs lately. hmm.

SERIOUSLY. I'M HAVING THIS HUGE HUGE HATE/DISLIKE/DISGUST OVER PRINTERS, ESPECIALLY THE ONE I HAVE AT HOME. IT JUST COCKS UP AND REFUSES TO PRINT BY CHOKING THE PAPER/PRINTS SLANTEDLY/PRINTED ON THE WRONG PARTS/CANNOT PRINT BORDERLESS PRINTS. i'm wasting tons of paper because of the fucked up printer(s). (i'm not forgetting the damn damn samsung printer).

DAMN.
