Written in the Library @ Esplanade
15 April 2009, Wednesday2:16pmI went for my second interview at Citibank this morning. It was pouring heavily outside. I gave a call to the HR person in-charge. I'm glad that God is with me. Due to the heavy rain, I informed that I might be 20 mins late. But unexpectedly, I was only 5 mins late, which did not keep her waiting and panicking. The interview went smoothly, until it came to a point when she said this that made a pause to our interview conversation. "To be frank with you, the jobscope of a collections officer is totally different from your marketing major, and just to tell you that it might not bring you anywhere in the long-run." "Yes, I understand.." I replied and paused with a slight astonishment. This is the second interview that they called for me, but that doesn't seem convincing that I may get the job. Will I? I felt shit.Well, so as long as the interview is over, I felt a stone lighter. I had a little breakfast at The Coffee Bean in Suntec City and got myself changed into the casual dress that my friends have bought for me on my birthday. Went to Carrefour to get myself some plasters, my heels are giving me blisters.I took my time strolling in Suntec City all by myself. Noticed a push cart, and a caucasian man staring at me. He was looking for a model for hair curling. He appraoched me as I was trying to walk away. "Come, I will curl your hair for free." Free? Yes, it is free, and it draws alot of attention from the public. He made big curls for me. I felt like the "Covergirl" on the magazine. "You are beautiful. Do you have a boyfriend?" The man asked me. "Oh no, I think I look like a nerd." Not because of the curled hair, but I really think I look nerd with my pair of spectacles that I have been wearing all along these years. So, since the curling is free, I thanked the man and went off. Kind of rude huh? Being a polite girl, I aksed him about the curler that he offers. Brand is called Jose something, $160, life-time warranty.. Hmm.. Perhaps I can try to get one when I have save enough money. And definitely I want to curl my hair on my 21st birthday.:)I enjoyed my walk alone, quiet and peaceful. I am a person with low sense of directions. So, blindfully, I followed my own instincts and the directory boards and made my way to the Library @ Esplanade. I walked to the Dance section corner and shoved a few ballet books after a short browse. Not really interested in the contents of dance but more to the pictures of the positions that attracts my attention. I took a seat by the seaview couch. I believe it is an inexpensive, or perhaps priceless way to spend the afternoon after the morning showers.
