I was in Singapore yesterday to sign the employment contract, medical check up and submit the employment pass application. Thought I could finish everything pretty quickly, but I spent about half an hour looking for the clinic.
I arrived back in KL close to midnight. I switched on the radio in the car and managed to catch a bit of the interview with Kit. He talked about his work as a phone counselor with PT Foundation; what does PT Foundation do and what he feels about volunteerism.
I could only understand bits and pieces, as it was in Mandarin.
And I couldn’t listen to it for long either, as my dad was with me and he has this misconception that HIV/AIDS equals being gay.
Currently, they are having a recruitment drive for new volunteers. If anyone is interested (I hope so!), please attend the Volunteer Orientation Briefing either on 25 March (Saturday) at 3:00pm or 28 March (Tuesday) at 8:00pm. The PT Foundation address can be found on the right sidebar.
And no, you don’t have to know how to speak Mandarin.
Anyway, it’s almost final. My new job in Singapore. In less than a month’s time, I will be at my new work place. Away from home for the first time, with a
So drama, right?
Yeah, I know it’s not that far and I know that I will be back. In a year or two.
Thanks for all the well wishes so far. I will be starting a new and exciting chapter in my life and I am looking forward to it.

YUM YUM

yes indeed, lots of tanned, lean, NS boys.
because i can be quite an auntie sometimes...which part of S'pre will you be flatting at? East Coast is good..near tampines or changi.
Well, good luck over there Derek. I wish you have great time while you're there.
Darn, you'll be gone from KL before I arrive. :o( Then again, Singapore's not that far away really ...
I remember getting a crappy job offer from a Singaporea ad agency years ago. But after calculating the costs - living expenses, food bills, transportation charges - I realised that I it simply wasn't worth it.
So I got a crappy job in KL instead. :-p
Hopefully your package is a lot better!
good luck to your new undertakings!
Good luck in Singapore! I know how you feel coz I too have ventured onto greener pastures down south over 1.5 yrs ago but I came back 3 months later when I got a more prospective job offer back in KL.
You'd never know what will happen in the future, so in the meantime, take a backseat and enjoy the ride :)
good luck in having new life in SG. and i'm afraid that you won't be back to KL. who knows, you might even find a better job in canada and be with CF.
err...is he? that is, CF in canada? LOL. i'm sorry, my memory not functioning well currently.
