Some correction for my previous post on the job i was interviewed for. It is techinically speaking a 7am to 7pm job. But practically speaking, it's a 8hr job. You either start at 7am and end at 3pm or start at 10am and end at 7pm. This job requires you to work in teams due to the working time. Why? Coz the case that you might be handling might come in before you get to work or after u get off from work and your buddy will have to handle your case for you in the mean time.
What cases does the job require one to handle? It's simple but yet not that simple. You have to access the patient's financial records. Which means, one has to keep track and calculate how much the patient spends in the hospital and if they exceed the deposit, they'll have to top it up. That's not all. When the patient leaves the hospital, one will have to explain all the charges to them and they can pay by any means. And after they have left, if there is an excess of payment, we'll have to cut a cheque to them and if there is a shortage in payment, we will have to call them up and ask them to pay. Actually, everyone has met with such staff at the hospital. If one can recall paying a certain amount of money before being admitted into the hospital and at the end of your stay when you're leaving, you've to go check the bill with a certain service staff? Yes. That's the kind of job i'm applying for.
The boss told me that the job is 60-70% paper work and 30% customer service. And he also said that it's like the job of a clerk. Which i totally disagree. I hate the term 'clerk' anyways. Makes one think as though it's all paper work and paper work only. To me, i think the job is partly like a financial assistant. You help the patients cope with their hospital costs and understand why they are charged this way and that way.
Sigh..i'll be both happy and sad to get the job. Why? Coz if i get the job, i can start earning money and be independent. Which is what i have always wanted. But if i get the job, i might not be able to pick BB up from the airport when she returns from the US. But don't any of you get me wrong. I believe i'll enjoy the job coz it requires people to work in teams. Therefore, see..it's not a clerk type of job. A clerk sits behind a stack of papers all day long and the stack of papers always continue to rise. Oh..and a clerk also has no one to work with. No one to double check their work before handing it in and no one to help them with their job..willingly that is.
ok..i gotta go for my accupuncture again and head over to BB's place to visit mummy..heehee..another happy fun filled day for me..yeah!!
Help!!
Why is everything in Chinese??!! Can someone please help me and tell me how to change everything back to English?? The blogger homepage and my..erm..what's that called..the page that opens after you login..know what i'm talking about?? yes yes both are in Chinese and as my BB knows, my Chinese isn't all that "powerful".
Interview interview
Anyways, i'll be going for a job interview at Mount Alvernia Hospital for the post of Patient Service Assistant at 2:50pm. If i did not remember wrongly, it's a night shift job and it's 7 days night/7 days off..not really sure..will confirm again when i get back from the interview..right now, my main problem would be that i don't know what top i should be wearing..
My readers
I didn't know my readers come from far and a wide. I thought only my friends and their friends read it. I got the counter to check which of my friends read my blog. And now, i actually realised that lots of other people read it too..wow!! Thanks everyone.
Thumpers
There was 2 queens party at Thumpers last night. For those who don't already know, Thumpers is a club at Good Wood Park Hotel. Just to side track a lil, the Durian cake that the hotel sells is terrific. The durian cream is smooth, thick and tastes better than the fruit itself. Haahaa..ok..for a cheaper alternative, coz the Durian Cake from Good Wood Park is really very expensive, you can try the Durian Concerto from Angie's Choice. Quite good. But definitely not better than Good Wood Park's. It really is 'you get what you pay for'. =P
Anyway, back to Thumpers. It's really a nice place but last night's crowd just kept smoking. The difference between straight smokers and GLBT smokers are that: Straight smokers do not start puffing away when they see they're friends doin it. GLBT smokers (or maybe just the les community) start smoking once they see their friends light up one after another. Talk about peer pressure. But then again, i might be wrong..so correct me??
By the end of 2hrs of being inside, my eyes sting and my throat got irritated. I thought the toilet would be better and i also needed to relieve myself. But when i got there, the whole place looked as though a fire just broke out. It was even worse than the dance area. In the end my eyes hurt so much and my new clean beautiful black velvet IZZUE.COM sweater soaked up all the smoke and stank. Sobs..i shall not wear that sweater to a club again other than to MOX.
I love MOX. Everyone has to go outside to the balcony to smoke.
Although the night started out a lil rough due to some problems, i had a lil fun. The 2 queens were wearing wings and a halo. They even got a wand to complete it all. Oh ya..Leandra and Taufik were there too. Haahaa..anyway, i carrassed one of the queen's wing and she offered to let me wear it but there was a price. I had to pose for a picture in it..i even got a copy of the picture. Nice..must be the hair..haahaa..but after i pic, i had to return it..no fun already. Will try to get someone to scan the photo in for me so that i can show all of you..heehee..the wings really look very nice and sweet..=)

BACK!!
Returned from M'sia just yesterday night. Yes yes..i know i'm supposed to be updating my blog with either the "happenings" of my trip or some pictures. But right now, as obvious as can be, i am not really updating..haahaa..bleh! *lol*
ok...i'm gettin a lil bored coz i don't know what to write...
Let me post some questions to me...haahaa
Why are you not talking bout your trip?? I'm sure the old geezers give you lotsa trouble..(i know ttz not a nice thing to say..i'm just bored..ok??)
Of course they gave me all the trouble i can possibly predict..and no..i didn't avoid those troubles coz i was on holiday..so was my mind..right now, i'm just thinkin of ways of how i could help my baby feel some warmt asap from all that cold.
For those who don't already know, my baby's in US..and it's winter over there..freaking cold..
How on earth are you gonna help her??
Well..i'm not telling..it's a secret..part of her X'mas gift too..(but i think she already knows what i'm sending her...but i'm still not telling...haahaa..). sweet eh?? but not as sweet as knitting a scarf or something..sigh..no time la..
Sending parcel overseas will take very long lehz..esp registered mails..
I know that..ttz why i'm using DHL..haahaa...1st time using k..so exciting...haahaa...(BB!! don't call me and tell me not use DHL coz it's ex..don't spoil my excitment and joy k..). Although it's very much more expensive..but at least it'll reach there within 4 working days if it's not held up at the customs. AND..it'll not get lost in the fucking mail...my gift is all my savings k..which means..i'm broke..yes..i've to spend all my money..but to keep my baby safe and warm and healthy...and to relieve her of those terrible terrible mood swings which are made worse from all that cold, it's totally worth it..MUACK!! a kiss for my BB...hee..
ok...now all of you who are reading my blog better comment and say that i'm very sweet..yes yes..click on the comment button and type...'u' space 'a' 'r' 'e' space 's' 'o' space 's' 'w' 'e' 'e' 't'....
just joking...right now, all i need is to hear from my baby as often as possible..yes..i know i sound really bad..i sound like i don't want my friends any more. (which is not true at all...my friends mean the world to me coz i don't have many) I just miss my baby alot and if any of you can understand the feeling of being separated for a month over such a long distance and the different time zones, you'll understand what i'm goin thru.
But that doesn't mean i'll forget my friends...actually..i think i've thought of a terrific plan. BB will always be calling me in the mornings coz it's night for her..so i'll be able to go out when she's aslp..but this is not a fool proof plan..just like today, after meeting up with S, my kor, for lunch and coffee, i went to settle some bills and buy pet food and went home..it was 4pm..2am in US..i supposed BB was slping but to my surprise and shock, she was not. She was awake coz YS didn't pick up the call (i presume incubation time was over and she had to continue with the project..i totally understand the time constrians on her) and BB's friend, C, came back to the hotel room very very tipsy and a guy she went out with, kissed C on the cheek. BB got angry. Haahaa..BB is just trying to be protective. And she msged me about it so i replied her msg and asked her to call me in awhile. Made her laugh over the phone. Which is both good and bad. Good coz BB is happy again. Bad (actually...it's a gd thing too...) coz she missed me even more after that.
hmm...i think i'm starting to sound incoherent..so i shall stop here..wanna get up as early as possible to msg my baby..and maximise our talk time...oh..bb..if you're reading this, can u forget about the 1/2hr quota i set this morning?? I miss you..think i'll be goin over to your place to visit your mum and see how she's doin this wed..she called me this afternoon..Hamster cage is clean..she just changed the shavings this afternoon. How i know? coz she called to ask me where the shavings were..heehee...
ok...ttz all for now..will load the pics soon.. =)
