don’t be fooled

almost 7k hits now since i put the ticker on. don’t be fooled tho. the last few days, i have been visiting my own blog like 4 times a day or something, because the skin is so pretty, i just had to see it in action, though i have the previews of them on my pc. i mean, damn, jake always know how to bring out my ideas.. or what i want even tho i don’t necessarily tell him properly what i want.

half the time, the conversations are like this..

“honey..”

“ya?”

“do you know uhm.. if you can you know.. you know…. uhm… i want my blog to look like this”

*shows screenshots from some place*

“ok, they look nice!”

“yer… so can you you know.. do something like that, but… you know you know?????”

“erm.. i don’t know if you can’t tell me what is it you want O.o”

more pictures and screenshots would ensue, and he would eventually grasp what i want pretty quickly, despite me having 0 idea of how to describe it properly sometimes. poor jake.

So anyways, yes, i seem to have increased number of hits, but mostly by me

i called up some companies today, and finally managed to reach one of them that i could not reach for a while.

GUY: “hallo?”

me: “hi i am calling about my application for a job a couple of fridays ago..”

GUY:” OH! let me just check where my store manager put his application forms…”

me: (jubilant at this point for some odd reason) “sure ^.^”

GUY: “OH!!!!”

me: O.o yer?

GUY :”he has left the applications in another cupboard. he hasn’t read through any of those apps for the last couple of weeks. i would get him to call you back tomorrow or so if he’s interested in getting you to work with us.”

me: (silently swearing) ” ^.^ sure !! i will call back again tomorrow if he hasn’t called then…”

man… so if i hadn’t called he ain’t going to call me back? sometimes, just sometimes, i would love to know people actually READ my applications. really. i mean i roll out all these resumes like they said i should, then they don’t read.. why bother asking people to apply then?

meh…

on my way back from applying for some other jobs though, i got to talked with a “neighbour” of sorts. he was… bald.. skin head.. i don’t think he’s naturally bald really, he’s too young to be naturally bald imo. but maybe he’s… naturally prematurely bald!

anyways, minus the hair, he was fairly friendly. i did over hear his conversation on the bus though. he was interested in applying for some language classes and qualifying to go to beijing or something. in a sense, judging from that conversation, i am sure he has some fair grasp of the chinese language.

so when i got off the bus, he started getting conversational with me. so i was like “whee… i feel like a test bunny!”

so it turns out, he was taught a little cantonese AND mando, AND have friends working in singapore with the kendang kerbau hospital, the hospital where 80% of singaporeans are born in. the richer 20% get born in places like mt Elizabeth and what not. but KK IS THE PLACE TO BE MAN!!!

ahem.

anyways. so his name is matt! i know ONE neighbour! yay… and chances are, hrm… he might want to make me his conversation partner? nooooo i suck in mando… shit shit.. fire the missiles!!!

meh. time to brush up mando.

sorry i seem to be rambling. i have lots of thoughts running through my mind now, and most of them does not seem to be.. related. i think it’s the dreams i have been having. i am starting to feel some pressure financially too, partly from rent issues, partly from college issues. without a part time job, i am not quite sure how i am going to balance all that without pissing people off or losing my enrolment at the college.

i am not sure the related people who owe me realise how serious the issue is, it seems like they don’t. i have been trying to emphasise the seriousness of the entire situation, but now it seems they don’t care, or don’t want to care. it is times like these, i wish i am home, yet again, because i can at least find part time work easily back home than here.

on the flip side, while i didn’t get the job at canberra centre’s kfc, they offered to forward my resume to belconnen kfc. it’s near my future school at least, and i can opt to work late on weekends.

please dear god, give me a job. i need some form of sanity.
