Dilemma in progress...
I have finally received THE email. I dunno what to do or how to respond. But yes, the email, the contract has finally arrived! Everything seems good and written much alike wat was agreed on but I dont know what to do with it. I still need to wait for cold storage. I really prefer to work for cold storage, more like i WANT to work for cold storage. The present job offer is good, i know the people there will take care of me but will i enjoy my job. I guess i moved on too fast and now am regreting my decision. I have to find an excuse to delay the signing of contract. By right, the contract states i have to start work on the 14th of Feb, but now i need to delay further, preferably a week later. I really want cold storage to reply me, be it good or bad news. ARGH!!!
I'm so glad i have CNY as an excuse to make for pretending not to read the email coz i am in 'MSIA'. Sheesh... such lies i have to make for my future. Sigh.... i would like to think i have work right after CNY but now... i would prefer not too. Question now is that, 'will cold storage hire me?". I really hoped I am more outstanding than the others the HR dept has interviewed. I hope i showed enough interest towards working for cold storage that they will take me in. Sigh... decisions... dilemma... my future!
Alright.. i think i shld enjoy my hols in Msia first before i worry again what i should do. Honestly, what shld i do? Shld i just forget abt cold storage and uphold my decision to take up the job with convertium or shld i give up convertium and hope for a better job offer?
Cold storage has to reply me!
Oh well...... shall not dwell into it.
Okie.. a lil update on my life....
The weekend was pretty much the same. Friday I went to marcus house for mahjong, and for the first time i lost $0.80 only. Those whom i've played mah jong with would know how much i've lost each time i played with them. Hehhehe... i actually won a few rounds... ahhaha!! So proud of myself. I hope this is a sign that future games i can see myself winning $$ and not losing anymore! Crossing my fingers!!!! CNY round the corner too...means more chances for me to play. Oppss.... itchy fingers now.
Saturday, spent the day cleaning the house's windows and had reunion dinner with kevin's dad's family at bedok. It was a rather uncomfortable dinner everyone felt forced to have dinner together especially the cousins but i guess as long it made kev's grandma happy.. it's all worth it. The dinner was a rather brief one. I was glad for once since i came back... saturday was a slow and easy day. No late night clubbing or bowling. Spent some quality time with kevin as well, so that was good. He's leaving soon and we havent really spend some couple time, been always out with friends gng bowling or drinking, so it was good to have some nice ice-cream time with him at holland v.
Sunday, was suppose to have CNY lunch with parents Godson and family, but last min the lunch was cancelled coz the timing was a bit off. That was good coz i would only be able to attend 30 mins of it if it really did happen. Afternoon, kev and i went for a play titled, Alam Tam and the 3 bears, written by two Singaporean journalists. The play was performed at the action theatre, the room upstairs. The plays had good cast members to name a few, gerald chew, pam oei, koh chieng mun and charmaine ang. The first play was about seeking an identity, a racial identity and a nationalist identity. It was abt an american chinese man conversation or rather debate with a hongkonger old man over whether the statue of King George the sixth should be removed and give way to the statue of Dr. Sun Yet Sen, the father of modern China. The dialouge was presented as the ABC fighting for the cause of Dr. Sun Yet Sen, stating that Hong Kong shld be pro Dr. Sun and give glory to the revolution he had for modern china. However, on the other hand, the hongkonger old man believes otherwise and that most hongkongers dont even know who dr. sun yet sen is really is and what was his cause. Instead, hongkongers knows singer Alam Tham more and worship the singer more. Thus the problem of identity lies in the dialouge, of whether you are chinese or not. The whole play was rather long and kinda long winded, but the moral behind it was pretty evident in the play. The second play, titled, the 3 bears, was much better and more entertaining. Pam Oei, was the leading lady and it was the story of a physics teacher and her year long struggle to take care of her dying father who suffered a severe stroke. The story or the intention of the story was to use the theory of relativity to explain certain issues such as TIME. Though i didnt understand the theory of relativity, the play's adaption of the theory using 3 bears was pretty smart. The story was both humourous and heart-warming. It was heart-felt and touching to see a continous passion of love for both father and daughter. The whole story was really talking about if only we can stall or slow down time. In relations to physics, it's more of trying to bring life the theory of relativity, that at a different persecptive, time seems slower than to another perspective. The moral i got out of it is that... time is never constant... time do speed up and time do slow down. However, time speeds up when u least expected... for the play's case... time moved on faster when the father was dying. Therefore... time does defy physics... time is never constant and it never travels at a constant speed. Good play. Unfortunately the run has ended.
I will be watching another play next week, Dangerous Liasion, directed by Beatrice Chia. I think that one will be a good show too. Looking forward to it. There are more plays i really want to watch too, like Sound of Music and the Singapore Fringe Festival. But by then Kevin has left.. so must start finding pple to watch with already. Anyone interested in any of the abv plays???
This week is CNY... and tom i'm off to Batu Pahat for the usual family vistation. This time life there is gng to be more boring and lifeless. My two cousins aren;'t gng and the rest are my younger cousins.. i'm too old to be in their fun. There isn't DVD players too and only pirated VCDs to watch.. most of which are really of bad quality, so ye.... hai. The only thing i look forward in BP is the food. That's abt it. Oh well.... luckily the trip is short and i'll be back on thursday. This weekend is gng to be pretty pack too... visitations, clubbing and v day.
Alrite... enough of all these. Here's wishing everyone a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
GONG XI FA CAI~!
