eh jo. you want to get a job?
me: -blinkblink- ok. where?
sarah: at globetrotters. abi and jingyi are working there! its quite close, at novena. plus they get paid like $6.50 per hour which is quite good compared to macs. and they get free food and ice cream!
me: oh ok. when are you going..?
sarah: i dunno. today? -laughs at absurdity-
me: ok. sure.
and so today began. a very strange and happening today indeed. as agreed, sarah, grace and i headed down to novena after math and 2 hrs of chinese, made a beeline for globetrotters and then stood outside awkwardly for a moment trying to figure out how exactly to ask "HELLO ARE YOU HIRING." without sounding too desperate. in the end the waitress approached us to ask us if we would like to order T.T and we found out that the manager wasnt in. so we wandered about united square for a while, having lunch and staring at the interesting shops like ben and jerry's trying to figure out if
they would hire us to be ice cream creators (or in sarahs case, tasters) we returned to find that the manager had returned and instantly we were handed forms. followed by job interviews. i stepped out of the whole frenzy after discussing with my mom and deciding that as alluring as free ice cream was, i may have better places to spend my time. sarah and grace though, got interviewed on the spot. quite exciting. xD
after that rather fast (and i wonder, was it rash and impulsive?) decision to GET A JOB. we headed, a bit giddy from the speed of ZOMG I JUST GOT MY FIRST JOB INTERVIEW, back to school for options (how anticlimatic)
at this point, im sending an email to my moms doctor to see if he would let me volunteer at his clinic. now that would be interesting. hope he agrees!
so yes. what have i learnt today? if you want something, just go ahead and ask. after all,
Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you/ For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.i asked for strength and He sent me
angels. for the people who has expressed concern, cheered me up and on and stood by me,
thank you from the bottom of my heart. this may be a physically and mentally tiring period, but with all of you and Him, i believe ive got enough strength spiritually and emotionally to
赴汤蹈火。
Escaped
