Oh yah, i DO have a blog.....
Heh, having just remembered that i created this blog just yesterday, i've promptly decide to put up my next and only second entry....
Well, basically, I've been just passing time all this while, ever since my National Service ended in April. I slacked a month a way before i tried to find job via new papers. Not much luck with tuition agencies and insanely difficult for a guy like me to land a temp job as an admin clerk (my dream temp job). Most of the job interviews i went for turned out to be for marketing companies.
With the idea of making as much money as possible in the shortest time, i had even considered working night shifts in a factory in the Jurong Industrial area, near Tuas, but came to my senses at the last minute. I sure didn't want to lose my sanity and my sense of day/night. Furthermore, my cycling routine would be disrupted.
Well, following which, i had a short stint following my friend KC to his MLM company (multi-level marketing). I was really quite interested in how the company worked, and how a few individuals had actually made it so big in a relatively short time. Well, MLM sure is an aggressive marketing campaign, and it proved very busy and packed with activities. It was very specific in highlighting benefits to draw potential distributors to the trade, but i eventually decided that selling expensive healthcare products that i personally didn'y really believe in was not my cup of tea. I even took a peak at another friend's MLM coy, but it was still similar in nature. Lesson learnt: marketing isn't for me.
The only actual got I took up immediately after my stint above, was through my friend. I ended up working as a a clerk in a scaffolding company, which was co-run by my friend's mom. Well, basically i ended up as my friend's personal assistant / hands; settling the admin tasks he identified. We were basically there to establish a system in the admininstration, so that auntie could have her work load and stress levels reduced. Well, after countless hours of documentation, filing, photostating, refiling and relabeling, things DID look more organised. All in all it was a good learning experience, although it did get a bid boring / mind numbing at a certain point.
Well, so after that, it was looking towards my stint in the National University of Singapore...
