haha.. looking forward to tmr~~ anyway today mr boss advertise for more ppl in the newspaper. the damn phone keep ringing. after my colleague, miss siti, put down the phone, it will ring again. here is an eg of what her conversation is like

"hi? yes. this is beauty world kumon." "yes. we are hiring part timers to help mark worksheets " "ok. are you a singaporean/PR? " "can i know where you live? " "how old are you? im sry but we dont employ ppl below 16 ""ok, whats your highest qualification? we require o level at least" "the starting pay is 4.50. of course there will be increments but it will depend on the individual's perfoemance. you need to work a min of 4 hrs, 2 times a week " "ok. we are having an interview/briefing. for more details you need to come down to our centre. "blah blah the rest will be writing down the details of the person's name and contact no.
