She's e ONE

From e 8 of us being perfect matches in sem 1,

1. Joanne

2. YingYing

3. Gloria

4. Apple

5. Yinghan

6. Celest

7. Emelia ???

8. Me

We got separted into our various specialisation in yr 2.

Jo n Emelia went HR, YY n Gloria went marketing while e rest of us went B&F.

During my days in B&F, e one i hang out with most of the time, is no other than

Wu Hui Ping, Apple!!! We continue to be perfect match for most of our cores, attending lectures, seminars n tutorials together.

We had a common point... tt is both our bfs stay under e same block of flats.

Thou we r e closest in school, come to think of it, we have never ever been out together (just e 2 of us) outside of NTU... eg, eating at JP, shopping, movies......

How sad.... Y huh???

Now tt she's in a dilemma, i hope i can provide some advice here.

Ur job g... i wouldnt say its not good la, given tt u do have the passion to teach. n its true tt it might not b tt stressful n e pay is rather ok... but then, u do have to consider carefully k.. discuss e contract on wed, then if u sign liao, is for how long?? what if ur job d & e wants u?? can u still accept?? somemore, its not related to b&f la, so is tt wad u wan... after spending so much $$ n effort in NTU, i believe u also hope to see some familar stuff tt u have studied b4 when workin de rite... wad do ur bf n parents tink bout job g?? hehe... but ultimately, how u feel is still e most important thing k... Follow ur heart!!!

People all say tt working in a bank is stressful n competitive, they tell u alot of bad points to scare u off even during interviews... but i tink e good pts are left for u to discover yourself after u enter e organisation. n tt will be a plus point to u... frm my few days of experience, e workin hrs might b a bit longer, but its still ok de ba... i still can go home n eat dinner after work, which means i do have time to spend with my family n i can still continue to meet up with my frens n bf... i guess it will be how u manage ur time...

prospect wise, i feel... no matter wad, d & e will be better than g... apple ah apple, u r still young ma, so shd work in a more challenging environment.. n tis is only our first official job leh.. so tk up a better one k?? maybe nxt time u really cannot tk it, then u choose some slacker jobs lo....

u really gt a lot of choices leh.. so dun be to eager to settle for tt k....

hope it helps....

my days with ah nehs

went down to work at tampines yesterday, today n will b there for e rest of e week....

e working environment there is quite different frm centennial.. e people - Indians frm India, they r e so-called foreign talents tt Singapore wants... so me n jingyi r surrounded by ah nehs... they r actually very nice n friendly people... they will help us alot cos they wan to close e issues.. e biggest problem i feel is tt it is rather hard to understand them... But face-to-face is much much better than over e phone....

i kind of enjoy gg over to tampines cos i can take taxi there, n i only need to reach at 9+ or even 10, then can pay using taxi voucher, so no nd to worry bout claims.... n today i discovered tt there r M&Ms n potato chips in their pantry... centennial only gt tins of biscuits.... during lunch time, we also can slowly eat n shop....

took taxi home last night... but today we knock off earlier, so i took mrt home n e journey was ard 1hr 15mins... i m glad tt i made e right choice of not choosing tampines as my permanent working location... gg over there on some occasions still ok ba n i can tk taxi....

i kind of like my job now, just tt it gets bored at times cos i still haven get my IDs, so i couldnt access e system...

its enjoyable to meet up wif e gers to eat, talk n relax...

talkin bout our past, our future n bout driving.. it really makes you feel very good being with them...

nxt time if we really were to meet up, with each of carryin our baby, i tink e scene is so interestin...

wait till i start work, u 2 muz meet me even thou its late k... muackzz....

Save me!!!!!

sometimes its jus so difficult to make a decision... y muz i b given a choice?? at first everything seems so certain n i guess i m more or less decided n settled... but now tt i m given a choice, i really need some advice n opinions... thou deep inside my heart, i do like one better than e other, but i realli do not noe if i shd jus follow my heart...

i gt an offer frm Uob earlier on, thou e location is at Tampines, but given e 2.4k or even 2.5k if i get a second lower, i accepted e offer n was on my way to sign e contract today....

went for citibank second round of interview a few wks ago, n seriously i tot no more chance le since they nv call me animore... today when i reached clementi, citi called n they actualli wan to employ me...

immediately i ended in a state of confusion... i lyk tis citi job very much n now they finally offer me.. so there is no reason y i shd go down to uob to sign e contract n close my citi door... so i called uob n postpone my appt to fri so tt i have more time to consider.... instead i ended up at citi tis afternoon....

they showed me wad my job scope will me, e working environment blah blah... n as usual they r telling me tt tis job will b very boring cos its testing testing everyday... n tt i will have to work long hours which means OT till lyk 8+ very often or even everyday... tis citi job is a 6mths contract n i m aware tt i might not b converted to a perm after 6mths cos it depends on whether there is vacancy n stuff... but they reassured me tt staying in citi will not be a prob, jus i will still b under contract la...

tis citi is at cityhall n not tampines.. thou i said i m ok wif tampines, but do i really wan to travel such a long distance everyday... on e other hand, citi requires me to work long hours, can i really tk it?? i m gg to sacrifice my social life n everything... but uob i also duno whether its true tt there wun b OT...

2.4k vs 2.2k plus OT pay which can add up to 3k++.... local vs foreign bank... uob is ops, back end while citi is private banking n front office.... i duno...

jie jie say she jus wan a simple life, a career with normal working hours, with no OT.. she say wad's e point of workin so hard n earning lots of $$ when u gt no time to spend with ur frens, bf n family... but tis is my first job.. another phrase of my life.... i study so much n so hard to get a degree, shdnt i b aiming high?? i guess i m a more ambitious person, i wan to earn lots of money... i wan to lead a luxury life... i hope to b able to own a car in e near future....

frens suggest tt i tk up citi cos even if i really have to look for a job after 6mths, with a citi private bankin front office exp, i can easily look for another job... jie n mummy say uob cos i tink they dun wan me to work so hard n lead a miserable life...

i duno leh.... both gt their pros n cons.... save me!!!!!!!!
