Why Must We Work
A 6-month contract became a 1-year contract.
Now a 1-year contract’s gonna become a 1.16666666667 year contract… as far as I know.
Ok. I mean 1 year & 2 months++.. and then? VA-MOOSE.
I used to dream about how nice it’ll be if I could just stay here for good…
If only…
I can work here for the rest of my life, until one day when I can finally be a tai-tai and kiao kar at home.. woohoo!!
Then no need to update my stoopid resume…
no need to work on my lousy PR skills…
no need to por2 employers until their heads swell, or try so hard to convince them how desirable a worker I am… hello?
and no need to beg on my knees about how much I need them to gimme a job..blah blah blah.
As if they are the one to tell me how much I am worth lor?! Please!
If only…
I can stay, and I will be spared from all these stupid nonsense! YAY!!!
If only…
If only……
Hai… how often does reality ever go my way anyway?
So, I am not going to stay. Not even for another year. I’m gonna be outa here in less than 6 months..
In short, I am UNWANTED.
And this is the message I’m getting in my face: “You are no longer needed so Pls-Get-Out.”
Ghee. How kind of you.
Fine, I thought about it already.. Hm I shall try to salvage the situation by attempting to make it look like I chose to leave on my own accord rather than they telling me to. Yea~~
And I pray that lady luck will bless me with a right opportunity at the right time..pleassssse?
But maybe it’s time too I start doing something about it ‘stead of waiting for somethin to drop from the sky. I wish.
Maybe I should go work in a bank.. I’m an Economics major so this seems just the right place to go. Good money, leave, incentives.. “good” working hours too…
But deep down I think it’s the last place I would choose to be in for 5 days a week and at least 8 hours a day…NNOOOOOO….
Well, a wedding planner looks like a nice job to be in after I watched Jacelyn Tay in her last drama serial.. but on second thought I think there’s a higher chance that I ruin people’s big day than make it and I will just freeeak out.
Actually my requirements are really simple you know, I can just list them out here.
If an agent asks me what I’m looking for, can I tell her, “Fairly decent pay (my expectations are not that high), fixed working hours, no need to OT too often, and no need to work on weekends” ?

Hai... I ask myself the same question everyday. Why must we work. To earn money. To buy things we like. To be independent. So difficult right?
Well, cliche as it is, all good things must come to an end. Perhaps with this ending comes an even better beginning. Don't lose hope. =)
