Retrenchment

Wednesday, July 26, 2006
Things have not been going on well for my family and I. On Sunday, Dad told me that my Singapore's apartment nearly got burnt down. Mum forgotten to close the window and apparently in the afternoon, it was rather windy and the candles from the alter fell to Mother Mary's statue and I am not really sure how the thing caught fire. Anyway, both folks are out but my pooooooorrrrr PIPI become CHOW TAH DOG! HOT DOG! ...... she is Scoobie's Long Lost cuz! pppooooooorrr girlllllll....... But luckily nobody was hurt and nothing greatly damaged. Just need many sessions of serious scrubbing of walls and ceilings and discarding of the damaged furniture.


Next unfortunate incident: Yes, it's hard to face the facts at times, but still, Yvanna got retrenched at a young age of 24+. I feel for all the people who ever experienced retrenchment. Just 24hr notice is sufficient (according to the new workplace agreement policy).

So on that fateful day 24.07.06, Klara and I got retrenched. I still was happily updating my blog in the morning. The weather that day was windy and heavily pouring away, both of us decided to go for coffee and slowly let the news sink in. We were still suffering from the shocking news. So after coffee, I walked in the rain and feeling dejected. So cliche.

Got home, straight away updated my resume and cover letter. Applied for about 20 jobs (typical singaporean, kiasu). The more the better mentality. Cooked myself a Hearty Meal and watched tv. At night, dear friend Jessica called to console. Thanks girl for calling, that meant alot to me.


Tuesday, typical. Woke up at 9am. Send endless resumes and cover letters. Got some calls in the end and today, I got 4 interviews. Not too bad. Hope one of them will call me back. I'm not choossssyyyyyyyy.... just need a job badly!!!!!


haaahaaa... still thinking that this weekend will be busy with the company's ball going on, bought a fancy dress on ebay for that occassion. HAHAHA....


So now I'm back to what I believe I am moderately good at, Ebaying. Sam and I had this talk yesterday, she was mentioning that I prolly should go back Singapore and work there. That is also one thought at the back of my mind. I will see if things still don't go on well, I will take a mini break in Sept or end Aug for 2weeks back to Singapore and organise as many interviews as possible. After which, if there is a good job offer in SIngapore, I will most likely pack up my stuff in Perth and leave. But then again... AIYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..... heartache. cannot bear to leave.


See how it goes.... Hope that all things will turn out well eventually. Sam hurry finish your script and replenish your sleeping hours, so you will feel ooohhh soooo refresh and we can go shopping and have a nice meal. GOODERLUCK!

Music: Saya - Some chinese song that friend transferred to me.
