Money

Hmm.

sittign here in the bone-chilling ID studio here on Level 6 of Block M, NYP.. I reminisce on how I tried to get a job yesterday through the means of browsing through the Classified section of Yesterday's The Strait's Times newspaper.. with limited success.

There was a packing job with relatively good pay... but there were no vacancies left when I called. Alot of the rest was gibberish: telemarketing jobs... I mean who the heck in their right minds want to be handed a list of phone numbers, calling people whom they don't know and trying to sound all cheery and unassuming?

One of my classmates had that job once, and she quit after a while. No surprises there.

Another job involved connecting parents with the right tuition teacher. Essentially the job requires someone like me to place a tuition teacher (who specialises in specific educational areas) with the requirments of parents who (assumingly) want to provide their children with the right tutor so that their kids can grow up to be snotty-faced scholars who look down upon the general public... assuming that they are the elite of a society filled with no-brainers. I hate the very notion of tuition.

Tell me about it.. right now, the children of Singapore are spending too much time with their noses being pressed against the grinding stone of the education system instead of constructive education, whereby they can (hopefully) combine a tangible experience to relate with the information that they are receiving.

For example, I couldn't give a damn about fucking sine graphs when I was back in Secondary Two. I couldn't see how permutation and combination could help me get a bloody job. Right now, I have happily forgotten 90% of what I learned in A Maths.. and I've got the twin A2s for E Maths and A Maths to prove how much my cousin and I had to mindlessly force myself to work through that damn ten-year-series five times over.

Damn right I got the grade, but it was just a meaningless paper-chase. Add that to the fact that I couldn't care about my Languages, and the subsequent C6s I received in both subjects.

Anyway.. Colin told me that he might have a lobang for me, and hopefully I can get to that in the very near future. Right now.. I just want A JOB.. even though the pay's shit, something is better than nothing.

I've gained some foothold in the Bike parkign project, and I've also foudn some direction regarding my chair design project. I've got to focus on my Maggi packaging design over the weekend. Hopefully the packaging material I've cut from that huge roll could serve some purpose as I wade through the murk that is this packaging project.. seeking for some glimmer of hope through the heavy fog that is my inability to find some enthusiasm for this project.
