I truly believe that the working world is a dreadful world to be in. At least, I've came to a conclusion after this temp job. I'll never ever be in the recruitment line after I graduate. Serious. This job totally sucks.

Everyday, I get so frustrated because I see frustrated people all around me. When one is desperate, one would be willing to lower his/her expectations of the job. So what if you tell me you need to find a job? If you're not willing to compromise, there's nothing I can do to help you. I believe that one can definitely find a job if one compromises. I've seen quite a few cases where desperate but sincere people found jobs. And I'm truly happy for them.

Of course, I see bosses and clients who take you for granted. Sometimes I feel so irritated chasing them everyday about the candidates. When you've been trying very hard to close the case, who sees your effort? Every client thinks that its easy for us to find a suitable candidate for them, and sadly, that was what I thought too. However, its definitely not the case. My ex-colleague had mentioned and after thinking over what she said, I found that it was true. "If the client can be picky, why can't the candidate be picky?" The most irritating part is when you see the candidate being fired for nothing, like bringing in their breakfast to consume before work, or when the client doesn't like the face of the candidate. How ridiculous.

It is an ugly world out there. I can't believe I'm spending the rest of my life in there after I graduate.

Anyway, dreadful things aside, May 12 was ajco's annual concert! It would be my last time performing in it I guess. Time passed so fast and in the wink of an eye, the concert was already over. Being an alumni has its advantage :) I got to reach SCH only in the afternoon and we got down to rehearsal immediately after. By the time rehearsal ended, it was already dinner time! Then the 3 xpys came. hahas. They were also the part time make up artists for the evening. But they still did their job well! Not long after the concert actually started. Of course there were a few glitches here and there but I still enjoyed myself, especially playing cards and shouting at the backstage. heh.

Thanks alot to the people who turned up! Yeebei, shara, wei chee, hong kiat, joseph, zhiguang, chew xia etc and their flowers! We also performed with the beijing people and as usual, they were zai. hahas.
