June Update

Okay, long time since I posted because life's been mundane. Some updates in June for now, nothing interesting, move on move on.

1) Started working part-time at some restaurant in Glen Waverley, mainly out of guilt more than anything. Roughly 150-180aud a week as a consolation. Well, at least its better than just sitting at home, generating further negative-profit, in hope of a light at the end of the tunnel.

Well, more on this current temporary job. And I stress temporary because it also serve as a motivation for me to find a proper job and quit this as I dislike waitering. But at least this one is pretty slack on weekdays, I can stand and watch TV and wait for customers to come in. Its the total opposite on weekends though. Certainly did not know that this restaurant would be so busy during lunch time. It came as a surprise to me knowing that its quite empty during my pre-working days whenever I pass-by the place.

The 'colleagues', if I can call them that, treats me nice. The atmosphere is good and I can brush up, or probably overhaul, my Cantonese with some of the HK ppl there. Free drinks from the drinks-maker (more polite, because in Cantonese they call it 'suey ba lui' - Waterbar girl) whenever I ask, behind the back of the Boss :P

2) Hmmm, got a call today for a Finance Analyst job. I was abit caught off-guard because I applied too many jobs and I can hardly recall which it was. At least its a Finance one because I only submitted a handful of that. The angmoh over the phone, actually 'pre-interviewed' me, saying he needs to find out more about each candidates and their characteristics as 'there are overwhelming reponses' (Got that like 100000 times from emails rejecting me). I tried to sound as cheerful and as enthusiatic as I can, and answer his questions which knowledge I got. I even went and explain the financial crisis to him, citing some points which I got from Jason's Finance assignment, lolol. Went on to talk about exchange rates and how it reflects on the economy and stuff like that. Hope it went well, because I was abit surprised at the call.

Well, June it is, and I still need a full-time job. Have to be determine! Oh meanwhile, exams are on and people are busy like bees, not much time for me =grr. Roy's coming down to Melbourne AGAIN, bring ur rockband set please rofl. K thats it.
