Yes, I know it has been almost two months since I last updated but life has been keeping me busy. So now that I’ve found some time to update, here is a summary of what has happened in my life for the past two months:
1. Started working part time as a trainer to coach secondary school students for the Micromouse Competition. The company was good enough to help me apply for an employment pass, which I now can’t collect. Why? You’ll find out as you read on.
2. Took a freelance job to edit a video for Greenridge Secondary School’s 40th Anniversary Celebrations. Video was viewed by President S.R. Nathan. Rush job, but the money was pretty good.
3. Went for an interview for a job and got an offer on the spot. Basically a phone tech support person with a pretty meagre pay and comes with 30-month bond. Did I take it? Read on to find out.
4. Dr. Yow, my lecturer from University, has an interesting job for a period of 6 months. The job scope is to develop an application for 3G mobile phones for a startup company. If all goes well, we get shares in the company and we work for that company after the 6 months. Did I take this job or the one mentioned in (2)? Read on…..
5. Bought myself an iPod 20GB with colour screen. Got a Crumpler case to go along with it and now looking at buying a pair of ultra-expensive earphones. Which one? It’s the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5Pro. Costs US$250. Anybody wanna bless me?? Haha…..
6. After much debate, I took Dr. Yow’s job offer. I now work in NTU under the Interaction and Entertainment Research Centre located in the Research TechnoPlaza. That’s why I can’t collect the employment pass that I have an approval for. And now you know which job I took. And the best part is, the renumeration for this job is close to twice of what was offered by the other. God is good, amen?
Yup, a brief summary of the past two months of my life. Keep me in prayer as I step into this new job. There’s a lot to learn and pick up, and most of them from scratch. And also, please pray that I can get an extension to my Social Visit Pass cuz bloody NTU can only give me an offer letter 3 to 4 weeks later for me to apply for my SPR. Why? Cuz they have to seek approval from MOE and what not. In my opinion, just a whole load of red tape.
Oh well, that’s all for this update. I will try to update more often. Until the next time, cheers…. :Þ
