Something not right

I went on a job interview the other day. I've reached there early ...a lady, named Linda, brought me up to their office. The office looks empty. She gave me the application form and a list of questions. Sigh...I needed to complete one essay writing and one accounts question. The essay was alright but the accounts question? It's been quite a while since I did a profit & loss account and a balance sheet. I truly think that the question would be a breeze for those who did this as a monthly job. So in the end, I did not complete the question. My profit & loss account doesn't show the correct profit figure. My balance sheet did not balance. Coming to think of it...was I supposed to be there ? I was thinking that my general knowledge of preparing accounts has been locked away ever since I stepped my foot into tax. I felt depressed when I was in the interview room. Felt humiliated. I'm a accounting graduate...for god's sake. I know I can prepare the accounts...if I have some preparations before hand. But still...

I wanted to leave the room immediately. I was not in perfect form to be interviewed. I spent more than an hour struggling to answer that accounts question. I had wasted my time. I had wasted the potential employer's time.

I did get an interview from them. The gentleman, which I was told that he is a manager...but he doesn't look like one. Didn't wore a tie. Is it because it was after office hours ? Maybe. He asked me...the most popular question in job interviews - "Tell me about yourself".

I started to talk about what I do in my present company. It was alright because I've done that several times. Then he started to tell me that the position for this interview is not the one I applied for. Shocking man! Well, not much difference anyway. I failed even before the interview, regardless what position that I was interviewed for. At the end of the interview...my last words was "I don't think I'll suit the job. Sorry for taking your time".

I think that interview was a wake up call for me. So...what's next ?

Don't you know English ?

It's about work.
My first draft - I wrote the letter to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) in English. It's easier to write. All the business, law and accounting jargons are easier to express it's meaning if it's in English. Boss ask me to translate it to Malay o.O"

Really don't understand why. This country, people know English. It's one of the compulsory subjects taught in schools, for god's sake!

In the end, the letter I wrote is 50% Malay and 50% English....duh....

neighbourhood news

Early in the morning...my mom told me something about our neighbour next door.
Hehe...i don't really know my neighbour. Can't even remember how they look like. I know they (husband & wife) have a toddler name brandon. They also have a philipino maid.

Our family has an indonesian maid too. The original story came from her actually, when she told my mom about how my neighbour treated their philipino maid. The poor philipino maid had bruises on both of her eyes...gets lots of scolding from my neighbour...and she only has a meal a day that is just dinner! Sometimes I also heard them yelling at her. Maids are still human. They are not slaves.

They don't just yell at their maid. At times, they also yell at their son... o.O"

"People getting all stressed up ???"
