For a Sales Coordinator job, it turned out to be a 3 panel of interviewers and they had mentioned that I might have to go through 2 or 3 rounds of interview. And funnily, the 3 panel of interviewers did not asked much about me (I'm used to the 'Tell me about yourself' and 'What do you see yourself in 5 years time' question). There were quite a lot of awkward silent moment (not sure if they needed time to digest my answers). I guess Japs are still the reserve and quiet people. I had thought that Malays are reserve and conservative, keep their thoughts to themselves - but I was definitely wrong. But I wouldn't mind a quiet working environment, after my last company. Sadly, this Jap company had medical benefits for S$600 p/yr (that is S$50 p/mth!) which is to me very minimal and they do not have company appointed clinics - like my previous place. But the annual leave starts from 14 days with 1 day additional for every year in service - not bad. The job seems interesting. I'm pretty sure I left the interview with a good impression about myself and my working experience. And the rest I leave it to HIM.
At this point, I really hope I can get a job really soon...
After the interview, I walked to Dhoby Ghaut to meet up with my old friend - Noor. I missed her so much that I dreamt of her... Hahaha... Weirdo!
Recently, my family lost someone really dear to us. My beloved grandmother passed away at 90, leaving us behind beautiful memories of her. My dad being her foster child, did not want a cent from her, but volunteered to check if late gran has a provident fund account. Unfortunately, his sincerity was questioned. They (the other family members), had mentioned that only next of kin should be the ones checking and indirectly, telling my dad to stay away. I wish I was quick to nail them down that day. For heaven sakes, Dad was only volunteering to check and again (let me reiterate), does not wish to keep even a cent. When gran was alive, she would ask Dad to put her monies in her savings - not any of her 3 males heir. I'm sure if gran is still around to see this, she will be very disappointed.
I wish Mom had put aside her differences and gran stayed with us instead.
She was the most beautiful and most strongest person, I've met in this world. I really wish that I 'inherit' her gentle demure.
I miss you, Nenek... And I'm sorry, if I hadn't done much whilst you were around. We will sure meet one day - Insya Allah.
I want to be with you....
