Today, I applied for a job! =D I went to this little place, walking distance from my house, called "Pasir Panjang Village". There is a row of pubs and a restaurant at the corner. I went through the pubs but there were either not hiring, or only looking for waitresses.
In the end, I went to the restaurant, called "The West Wing" and applied for a waitering position there. It's a small restaurant, serving western-style food, steaks and the like. It was such a cool experiance! I just went in, off the street, and asked if they had any open spots and I was introduced to the boss, this young Indian fellow no older then early 30s I'm guessing, and he gave me an application form to fill. After filling it up with my details, previous job spots etc..he conducted a short interview, asking me questions about my current doings, my possible working position in the restaurant, what I would be doing, etc.. He asked me if I had any previous experience in F&B so I honestly said that I didn't, but that I'm willing to learn the skills and that I feel I'd do an excellent job.
All in all, I believe the whole interview went really well! Unfortunately, he couldn't give me an answer there and then, but he said he'll call me this coming Monday. Oh and, when standing up to shake hands, I asked him if my chances were good. He told me my chances were very good. I don't know if he was fibbing or if he was sincere, but hell, I really hope I get the job! The guy seems nice and the other one or two waiters I met seemed pretty nice too. The boss said I'll be able to learn a lot from the other waiters and waitresses so it'll be awesome!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the call on Monday! =D Wish me luck everyone! I'll post here with the results! Oh yeah, I figure if I don't get this job, I'll head down to Vivocity and try some of the restaurants there. I'm bound to get a job sooner or later, but I REALLY do hope I can get this job on Monday! The coolest part about it, is that the restaurant is walking distance from my house! I can just walk home after work! Take a nice slow stroll and listen to my mp3's on the way back...how perfect is that! =D
[Moving on in the day's events!]
At 11:45pm, Jamie and Xiaoting came over. Xiaoting's birthday is today (Saturday 27th Jan) so Jamie and I planned this little surprise! We got Xiaoting over at my place, and at exactly midnight, we took out this cake which I bought earlier in the day at Vivocity just for this occasion, and placed a candle on it, lit it up, and wished her happy birthday! xD After that, we headed to my room to play cards and just chill. We had another surprise which was hiding under my blanket actually! It's this soft-toy that Jamie knew she loved, and we got it for her. The plan (which went very smooth) was that Jamie would blast the aircon so she'd be cold enough to take the blanket and cover up. When she lifted it up, she'd see the present!
I think Xiaoting got a big kick out of it haha xD Hugs went around and, believe it or not, all three of us were playing with the soft-toy for like the next 10minutes..its really soft and the material they use is really awesome. It's this kitty, covered in a mantaray outfit. VERY cute! Haha =D
Anyway, after all that, we chilled a bit more, playing a few more card games, and decided to go for a drive. We grabbed supper at this "Cheese Prata" stall nearby and then went for a stroll at Labrador Park. We saw these beautiful cats around the area and one of them was friendly enough to let us play with her. She was rather shy though, but not too shy to come near enough to us so that was great!
We went to Sentosa right after that, drove inside and parked at, I think it was either Fort Siloso Beach or Palawan Beach. It was very awesome! Entry into Sentosa at 3am is FREE xD We sat at the beach and met another cat there. This was a boy, VERY loving, and had really soft fur. Somehow we keep meeting cats this morning. Haha..
We headed back home after that and decided to call it a night. Xiaoting's bunking at Jamie's and we'll be meeting later today (Saturday) to hang again. Looking forward to it!
Anyway, once again, I shall post here with results on my job-seeking! Wish me luck yeah! And thanks!! =D

I'm 21 in 2 months!!! I'm an old man!! *grabs walking-stick* *hobbles*
I'm still awaiting the enlistment letter from the army...but I have decided, if I don't get the letter by end Jan, I'll give CMPB a call and ask about my status. Who knows...if I don't say anything, I'll be 75 years old by the time they enlist me into the army, for all we know.
Imagine this...
Soldier 1: GRENAAAAADDEEEE!!!
*All soldiers duck down to take cover, except me*
Me: What? Did you say something? *turns on hearing aid*
What a situation that would turn out to be. O.O Speaking of military, there is this new game on PC "Rainbow Six: Vegas" and it looks SOOOOO good! I'm really considering buying it! I found this video recording of some guy playing the game. The style and design of the game is awesome! xD
Enough of games...Mom's office colleague received this email about a kitten needing a home. Mom and I thought about it, and considering our current circumstance, we might adopt the kitten. It is a little male kitten, about 4 months old. We figure if it works out nicely, he and Sissy could get along and play together, which will keep Sissy from chasing Crystal around the house so much. =D
Oh yeah, I've been downloading "The King Of Queens" show episodes into my computer! It is an awesome show to watch! I think 'Friends' and 'The King Of Queens' are my 2 most favorite comedy TV shows. =D
So far, 2007 has been good...Hopefully it stays smooth!
