1st setback:
On Friday, I took a bus to the MRT station with a colleague. He strongly believe that the company will not give me a job after the 6 months. Not because I am inadequate or not good enough, but the department I work for is one that is fit for high position managers etc.
I agree that the department is filled with capable people (i.e they know 4 languages and have Masters and their excel is superb), so I felt very discouraged when I heard that. So, I told him that its ok if I'm not hired in the same department, as I would not mine being in another department. However, he have to break my heart again by saying that the headcount has frozen and they are actually cutting back.
I guess I have to believe what my boss says that if I work hard, impress and the economy improve such that the company needs to hire, they will hire me. Fighting!
2nd setback:
About a month ago, the company wanted to hire me but wanted to have some assurances that I could defer my reservice. The army on the other hand wanted to have some assurances that I would definitely be hired. As both parties needed some assurances, I found it hard to please both. Eventually, the company decided to trust me, hire me and gave me the relevant documents I would need to defer.
However, I found out that in order to be successful for deferring under "New Employment", the job has to be in the 1st 3 months!
I was hired on the 24th June and my reservice is on the 19th October, making it 3.5 months! I am now very very worried that I won't be able to defer my reservice, thus lowering my chance of being hired.
I really hope that the army can open their eyes and for once, don't be so rigid in making decisions. Hope they consider the economy and the job market before making a decision. Wish me luck. Fighting!
On a lighter note, I was intro to this show called We Got Married. Its a reality show where two people have a fake marriage and live together for a few months. Its a very funny show and I kept laughing throughout.
I am also in love with this girl call Hwang Bo. =) She does not have the typical cute or pretty face but I find her very attractive. She is a bit tom boyish and very sporting. I love her laughter and it is very infectious. On top of that, she knows how to cook and sew! Very ideal wife!
There are so many plus points to her side that I think she is my dream girl. The kind of girl I like. Hope Limin is reading =X
Fighting!
