Good and Bad Things happened.
Well i shall update from where i left off from the previous blog entry.
As i've said i went to interview. At first i tot the call would be connected to the shop directly itself. But nope, it was connected to the shop's main HQ. So i went to the Main HQ to interview.
At first i tot it would be a small company but never did i expect that the company was a big one.
I went in and i was like this doesn't seem like what i expected. then after filling in the form i went in for interview.
The HR manager and the boss of the game shop ( he owns 3 shops) both interview me. Drilled me quite alot . Even played a scanario with me. Talked for like what seemingly like 40 plus mins to me.
I spoke mainly and looked at the guy cuz he was the one i think needed to impress. but of course occasionally i would look at the HR manager to let her feel i was neglecting her.
Well I poured all my knowledge on the psp, ps3, Wii, etc etc.
Can tell the boss quite satisfied with my knowledge and he even ask me SO are u ready for this job? I did with small nod and said a YES with not a very convincing tone. ( due to my nervousness)
Why my nervousness cuz i didnt expect it would be such a big company. I tot interview would be like asking me to go to that shop's manager and he would juz ask a few questions and hire u .
Anyway the boss like not happy with my non-convincing yes then the HR manager she asked " so how eager are u to get this job"
I asked " on a scale of 10?" she said "yea with 1 being lowest 10 being highest"
I said " 7." She asked "wad are the factors for 7 ?"
I said " It's a whole new experience ." and she asked " the other reasons for the 3 would be?"
I was shocked lah i didn't know what to answer so i juz said " not very sure too " ended with a soft laugh.
Then they said u may leave and wait for call.
Then as i've walked out of the office i felt a sense of relieve. Because i felt so nervous inside there.
When i reach home, i juz felt so sucky cuz i felt as if i've screwed the interview. Told a few people. got tell yk too and he said nvm wait a week. maybe they'll call within a week. Relax. I told him cuz he got experience this before.
After a few days, i've gotten over it and said i think i should be no chance. but of course in the corner of my mind i still got hope they would call me.
Well very soon thursday came and we all went back for some appreciation dinner back at camp. Nuthin much to report. juz gave us some dvd of NDP pictures of everyone in camp who were working during NDP.
Went back home i browse thru the whole DVD and i only saw one pic of me. My friends they all say they only got one pic nia. And somemore shot taken from the side. Then my another friend mentioned. Aiyah those with alot of pictures inside one muz be slackers one. They got enuf time to goof around wad. I was like true true.
Friday
Morning i woke up early at 8 plus. Got ready and left to go Pasir Labar Medical Centre for my Medical Check up.
The check up was fast. Damn Fast. And the doctor never say anything to me juz say " anything to highlight? Your blood nuthin wrong .u fit. wait outside i shall print something for u"
I was inside the room for like only 30 seconds nia lor.
then finish le i heard from one of my sgt who he initially said monday then can collect pink ic. but if friday wanna try can try.
Why he said can try cuz he not sure if clearance form was cleared alrdy not. Later after i got out of medical centre, he gave a call to another sgt who stated that think can take alrdy cuz most of the form are signed but muz collect before 2pm if not monday then can collect.
I was like now is only 11? i got time and my camp is only 3 bus stops away. I took a bus and inform 2 of my friends who are staying in the west. Only they can reach in time mah. Then anyway i reach office to find that can collect pink ic but some of the clearance not cleared. So we had to go find the individuals who were needed to sign our form to get it signed. I tell u it's so hard lor. My friend even gave up halfway. He was so fuking pissed. i was like lai lah carry on he say dun wan lah monday then he walk off on his own. then suddenly miracle camed. The people who we were looking for were found.
so we still managed to get all the signatures needed and we rushed off to 3 div to collect our pink ic. there was a stack of IC there lah with ORD certificate and some booklet. Finally when came to our turn they say u haven't completed a online quiz called MY ORD. u have to complete it then u can collect. I WAS LIKE WTF?
well me and my friend was very very depressed and angry. By 2 plus we got our IC. YAY !!!
then when we left to city hall cuz we meeting other 2 platoon mates which had previously arranged to go to the games exhibition at suntec which my cousin intro'ed. Then suddenly there was this sms saying that
"if u dun collect IC today then will kena chagred.and the time is extended to 5pm."
Alot of our platoon mates were calling to complain. what is this. first we ask u can collect friday u say cannot. u ask us to collect on monday, now u last min ask us rush down collect. wtf is this ?
Then me the 2 guys who have collected we went to meet 2 of our platoon mates who were at city hall early in the day le. They haven't collect and they heard the news. so they met us and we told them we collected, then they ask why nv tell them. i said i only inform those living near west cuz juz now time limit until 2pm nia and i only got to know can get IC today by 11. so it was quite nearly impossible for them to rush down from their house ( cuz they living east side ) and get everything done by 2pm.
they understood the whole situation then they proceed back to their homes and rush back to camp to get thier pink ic. i remember they called us back at around nearing 6pm then they get pink ic. see i told u they sure not enuf time one.
Anyway me and the other 2 guys who collected pink ic with me we went games exhibition. It was nice. not bad exhibition but quite small. Singapore really needs improvement on games exhibition. they can try learning from the americans or japan people.
Then after non stop walking from suntec to funan, my legs were really tired. we never stopped u know. i kept complaining to find a seat but my other 2 friends dun wan. I was like -.- u guys woke up at 11 leh i woke up at 8 and has been walking around i need to rest. then after eating somethings at food court i went home.
Reach home, sms abit to my cousin, then i zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Saturday i had fever but my fever like on and off one. then went to my grandma house in the late morning and came back home at around 3 plus. at 5pm watch tv for one hour then pop 2 panadol and zzzzzz like a log until 8pm.
Well my fever was like graph liddat. Later temperature can suka suka go up to 38 degrees then later can suka suka go down to 36 degress. My fever was on and off.
sunday the whole day i was feeling groggy. My fever went down much but still get the chilly coldness from even the slightest wind which touched my skin. but i was quite happy at night cuz the tot of next day i dun even need to report camp it's such a great big feeling. The feeling of no longer being bounded by NS so shiok!
Monday
Today the whole morning i woke up groggy from all my medicine but best thing was NO MORE FEVER, watched abit of tv and during the afternoon after my lunch i felt alot more better. And this happy news juz came in half an hour ago,
I was bored so i was watching some vids on youtube. Well if u wanna knoe it's 80's cartoon. Wah some of them really bring back memories. then suddenly a unexpected call came which i totally didn't expect.
It was that game shop. The company hired me !!! YAY!
tml reporting for work. i am so happy. good thing i alrdy 90% recovered from my sickness. arbo i is have to turn down their offer.
Wish me luck.
Anyway if u wanna read on u could do so but it's gonna be long from now on cuz i will be writing my memories of army from this paragraph onwards.
Remember it was 2 years ago this day which i enlist. early morning woke up and went my with parents to boon lay mrt.
Enlist and when the parents were told to get on the bus and leave us everyone was quite sad. Some parents cried i saw.
Still remember it was at the loading bay which in time was the most significant events took place. We were separated into platoons and the malay barber was there with a lighted cigarette in his mouth and his menacing vibrating shaver waiting for us.
One by one everyone had to go up to the barber and get our heads shaved into Botak. Paid 2 dollars be it u like or not.
Got this guy he act cool liddat not toking most of the time. I know he's a sgt but didn't knoe in the end this guy turns out to be my platoon sgt.
Loading bay was where i said most things happened is because that is where we march to after we eat finish from cookhouse, that is where most of our tonners were parked whenever we need to go excerise, that is where we prepared our stores, that is where got scolded before, that is where csm love to conduct his briefing be it good ones or the bad ones. That is also the place where had to worked through the night to get our excerise equipment ready or for our equipment ready for standby.
That place really had alot of happenings. But then again i shall say my army experience suxed totally. LOL
As i've said i went to interview. At first i tot the call would be connected to the shop directly itself. But nope, it was connected to the shop's main HQ. So i went to the Main HQ to interview.
