Just so recently after Felicia's and Shumei's birthdays on the 6th and 7th of June respectively (Happy 20th Birthday!), enter another National Slave - Peter Seah. On the 9th, Peter turned green. Haha... Hope you're doin' well in there.
As it was on the 7th, Dennis, Kaixiong, Haojie, Haojie's girlfriend and I went to Toa Payoh to apply for a job at Bossini. Then Den, Loy and I went on to Popular where Den and Loy applied for a job at the bookstore.
Sales assistant: Please wait for awhile while I hand your application forms over to the manager.
(Minutes later)
Sales assistant: I'm sorry.
(At this very moment, you can see the disappointment in the eyes of both Dennis and Kaixiong.)
Sales assistant: My manager said that you both are over qualified. Therefore, she is handing your application forms over to the HR. The problem is this position is only for those 'O' or 'N' level or ITE students. Your qualifications are suitable for the position of Supervisor. That's why our manager said she'll send it to the HR.
Hahaha... Immediately, Kaixiong and Dennis burst into laughter as they left the shop. And so we went on to Plaza Singapura to apply for jobs at Flash n' Splash and P.O.A. Kaixiong also tried his luck at Action City.
Thursday, another tryout for a post at Starhub as a promoter/customer service person. The job pays attractively but they only want to sign us for a month. Not much prospect, I thought. But lucky me, Bossini called me up on that very afternoon for an interview. Haojie too. After the interview, I hit JACKPOT! I've got da job! As for Haojie, he was put on hold.
So... Sorry bros! Good luck to you guys! Hope you guys can land yourself a job asap.
As for me... I started work on Friday. So I guess I'll update this blog after 3 working days. Haha...

On the 2nd of June, I had a pleasant surprise! SMS tones kept ringing, all asking me the same question. "Were you the one who wrote it?"
I didn't know what they were referring to until I read the papers. At the back of The New Paper, was a big picture. A blackboard chalked 'L' 'F' 'C' '5' at the background with a LiverBird at the foreground. I thought," This looks familiar." So I read the article beneathe the picture. "GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME!",I thought. My email has been printed on the local news! A story made outta my email was spreaded around the whole island! COOL!
Here's what was on print:
LFC 5 What's in that number for Liverpool? By Wang Meng Meng June 02, 2005
THE Champions League victory for Liverpool was brought to you by the letters 'L', 'F', 'C' and the number '5'.
No, this is not a phrase taken from Sesame Street.
But if the omens are to be believed, Liverpool's triumph in Europe last week had very much to do with the mystical powers of the number '5'.
Chii Huan Cho, a Liverpool fan, alerted The New Paper of the startling recurrence of this magic number in the build-up to the penalty shoot-out defeat of AC Milan in Istanbul.
He wrote: 'It was the 50th European Cup final.
'Liverpool were fighting for their fifth European Cup.
'Leading the attack for Liverpool was Milan Baros, who was wearing jersey number 5.
'The Red Army reminding the world of the famous five words - You Will Never Walk Alone.
'With the scores level at 3-3, the final went into a shoot-out. Five penalties were scored and the game ended 3-2 in Liverpool's favour.'
Chii continued: 'Look at the signs! How many times did you see the number 5 appear? The recurrence of the number was the most significant sign pointing to a Reds' victory.
'It was not just the omens talking about the emergence of a new Pope or a Welsh rugby win. Nor is it Prince Charles' marriages or that Dr Who television show in Britain.'
For those who are still sceptical about the 'signs', Chii had this to say.
He insisted: 'Still unconvinced? MediaCorp showed it 'live' to all who watched the match on none other than Channel 5. And what about those who tuned in to ESPN on Channel 23? Just add two and three and you get...five!
'Arsenal won the FA Cup this season. Chelsea bagged the English Premier League and the League Cup. Liverpool got to keep their fifth European Cup.
'And in which position did the Reds finish in the Premiership? Fifth!'
'It's a sign of good things to come. See that number 5 again? It's all destined.
It's all fated.'
Here's what I emailed:
25/05/2005, Istanbul.
It's the 50th European Cup final.
Liverpool FC's fighting for their 5TH European Cup to keep it at where it should belong - Anfield.Leading the attack for Liverpool was Milan Baros, who was wearing jersey number 5. The Red Tide reminding all of the famous 5 words - You Will Never Walk Alone.3-0 down at half time. Within the 50th - 59th minute period, it's levelled at 3-3. Into the penalties where 5 goals were scored from a decisive penalty shoot-out, ending the game 3-2 in Liverpool's favour.Look at the signs! How many times did you see the number 5 appear? There are more than just the stars pointing to a Liverpool victory. More than just the signs about the rise of a new Pope nor a Wales win. Nor is it just marriage in a drama show nor of the Prince. Its written all over before and during the match. Mambo number 5 was telling you that it's Liverpool's season to win it this year.Still unconvinced? Well, Mediacorp showed it 'live' to all who watched the match on none other than Channel 5. ESPN ch23? 2+3=5. Go figure!
Arsenal holds the FA cup this season. Chelsea with the English Premier League and the League Cup. Liverpool gets to keep their 5th European Cup. Manchester United? Nothing.
Manchester United fans for all your bragging, teasing and air of arrogance, like of Sir Alex, which we Liverpool fans have to endure and suffer, it's time you really shut up for good. Still trying to console yourself by saying Liverpool is 5th in the EPL this season finishing below Man U (3rd) and Everton (4th)? Well, it's a sign of good things to come. See that number 5 again? Just a price Liverpool have to pay to Destiny. To Fate.
Like Booker T loves to say,"5-time! 5-time WCW champion! Now, CAN YOU DIG IT?!" Well, for what I prefer to say,"5-time! 5-time European Cup Champion! Now, CAN (MAN) U DIG IT?!"
Here's the best banner in Istanbul:
No small toffees for feast tonight
Kopites party with Turkish delight
Jose, Sir Alex... London press All choking on sweet success
Money, not love, is your drive
But tell us... Can you count to five?
After comparing both articles, I thought it's time to brush up my English. Haha...
