My First Interview

You know the part about wanting to retire after graduation?

Well, yours truly has totally messed up this time. I applied for A job, thinking..
'Hey.. I'm not a local, I don't get first priority as they have to protect their own working population, I have no worries.. This interview is just for the experience... I better forget to bring a copy of my CV... so that they can misplace mine and I don't have one to hand them.'

I didn't even bother to apply for a second job, why bother? Just one application is enough... Some more, I applied for a part time post.. ehehe...

So that I can use the rest of my time eating cake and watching my life go by doing charity work... And for the benefit of those who will 'tsk tsk' me, I am going to do my Masters degree...

However, I went for the interview at 9am... By 1pm I got a job. Easy as that...
I didn't know they liked me that much, I didn't even show them my 1st to 3rd year results, my Disclosure Scotland, Malaysian Security Check or that my visa expires in September. I didn't even show them my kopi-o proper 6 year old clean Malaysian Driving Licence! There was no talk about the visas I cannot get because I don't have a student visa... They talked Work Permit... *run around in circles*

Heck, there was no talk of what results I need to achieve to get the job.

I am scared... I will now need to get my ass in gear, find a car, learn to drive (again!!) and find a flat to live in. I hate being thrown out the nest...

I also learnt one thing; Never say Never

I said I would never study Biology, and my degree is Podiatry.
I said I would never work after graduation, and I have a job offer.
I said I would just sit on a beach, never to worry about anything besides what cocktail I was having next... and I am not going to have the time or company to do that with.
I said I would never work in the UK, and look at me now.

I remember when I was younger, how I said that I would not go out with a Mat Salleh or a Singaporean...
I am worried now. Everything I have ever said I wouldn't do seem to come back and bite me.

Does that mean I will never get married?

Congrats again, girl! Wow, are they so in need of a podiatrist? So don't have to worry about being put under the same category as tukang urut & sinseh!

True, never say never! (Remember the James Bond movie?)

Hmmm... now that that theory works for you, you should just go ahead & wish for the opposite like, " I'm never going to marry a millionaire", "I'm never going to marry a drop-dead gorgeous hunk", "I'm never going to ....(fill in the blanks)! :D

Come come... *puts on Podiatry Recruitment Hat*
They should pay me for the amount of publicity they get off me.
