Part Time Pun Jadi Lah

BEFORE . . .AFTER !

i went for an interview just now. work as sort of a graphic designer at a t-shirt printing company. i called the boss and told her i would like to apply for the job when she quickly said, "Ok Ok, come at 1pm and bring your portfolio." thanks to Shahran for recommended me for this job cos he needs an assistant.

i was at home around 10am and was surprised when she said 'portfolio'. i was stunned for a few minutes when i remembered those artworks i've done during my poly days. ok basically i'm not a media design student so i don't have a portfolio. my artworks were those created for CCA purposes: Silat Club NYP logo, Andayu logo, Andayu posters etc. another problem is this is my very first time going for an interview alone. usually if i wanted a job, i'd go with a friend who's also searching for a job. and usually i don't get the job instead my friend got it.

so i just collect all my artworks, put it nicely in MS Word documents and after around 12.30pm i moved out. problem is i had to find a printing shop to print my documents in colour and where will be the best and i am most comfortable with than the printing shop at NYP near Business Building.

took the taxi there and went straight to the shop. while waiting for the prints, i was looking around hopefully i could see someone i know there. after i got the prints, i went to MacD canteen to settle the prints into my plastic file. then i saw Yan Bonch and his girlfriend and i said hello to them. i felt a bit sad and felt kinda sucky when i moving around the polytechnice. my mind was playing some great moments and the worst moments of my poly life simultaneously while moving around.

and off to Yio Chu Kang MRT. cos it was 2pm, i called the boss again to change the time to meet and because she had to go for an appointment, she told me to come at 4.30pm. oh crap... 2 hours and half! since there's a bus to the interview place at Hougang Bus Interchange, i went to Hougang.

Hougang has certainly changed alot! i cannot remember when was the last time i went there but i remembered the shopping centre was dark at that time. now it looks more cleaner and more alive. i felt like i was out of place.

then went to take the bus, got off the wrong bus stop, called my friend for help and i've finally found the place while i'm almost drenched with sweat. i was given the job part time and i will get 5 dollars an hour. monday to friday, 10am to 6pm. gonna start work next monday. i have a few days to try and must master the Photoshop to get myself ready since i'm too used with Fireworks.
