well, there always comes a time when u have to make a decision.
i recieved a call yesterday from moe (finally!) informing me that i was ” Q’ed “. ok. i thought, “heck, at least i’m in the queue!” . Then as the hasty speaker ,who’s voice had a distasteful tone of nonchalance, hinted to end the conversation after spouting no more than 5 lines, it suddenly dawned on me. I didn’t have a clue as to what she was talking about.
“so what does it mean?” i queried.
“um, it means that you can contact the school…” (duh!) “… or the school can contact you..” (-.-”) “… and that you are qualified to teach lah.” squeaked the chirpy voice on the other end of the line.
sounded like some minah .
anyway, I think moe is really sloppy now. and i have 2nd thoughts about going back to “join” the civil service. Actually i just realised, so many of the bosses in capitaland were ex-regulars -.-. seems like dad was right. even my hr boss and the department boss were also previously from the armed forces or ministry of Def.
yeah, except that they THINK its not the civil service , and well, people say its not, but hey, thats where all the “quitters” go ! Gahmen linked coys. damn. Oh well, i’d like to see my pay this 15th , see how the 50c per hour increase affects me.
well, its still lesser than the 65/day that teaching can get u…
but there’s 2 kinds. one is the long term relief teaching where you actually have to teach shit. and the other is the sit ard and nua kind of relief teaching where they call u back at the last moment in the morning to cover some teacher on MC.
yeah, stuck between two familiar slices of pseudo-civil service. the school can’t really be considered as wholly part of the civil service coz of the amount of autonomy the school has within its compound.
but either way, i’ll only be able to work till end may. which my company actually wanted to extend me to…. and my school probably won’t sign me on for anything after that coz of the june hols. by the time i end , i think i’ll only have 3weeks in may and 3 weeks in july to teach.. barring my holiday of course.
and i still haven’tbooked my holiday yet. shit. lol my colleague says i need 1.4k, barring accomodation expenses , for a 2 week stay… but brian said i only need to bring 140 -.- SGD of course, not NT. i think i’ll stay for say 1-2 weeks. not the full 2. coz i might want to drop by hk to visit my mom while she’s there in july, and my cousin who lives there. yeah… if i take cathay pacific.
Air asia ain’t as cheap as i thought 
damn. and cathay gives you the choice of delaying your return connecting flight for up to 2 weeks! woot! so i can have 2x 2 week holiday in taiwan+hk :p lots of pics to take!
which means i’ll have to spend on….
stuff to buy (say 200sgd)
return airfare (500SGD)
everything in… uh.. thats it lol.
then my dad wants me to help pay for utilities now. -.- tmd.. at 1st say 50 bucks, now come and say 100 . i nearly wanna tell him to F off. i think i’ll just pay him 50 :p say i booked my air ticket, paid in full LOL :X no money roflroflrofl
but seriously, my dad is the most horrible of examples of how to be a dad. can’t communicate, can’t relate… yucks.
