after a day of fun & food, a day of sleep, Slacker Queen finally 收拾好心情 and went for an interview this afternoon.


Venue: Changi General Hospital
Position: Medical Social Worker (3-months contract)



As usual, the interviewers are nice and friendly. What can I say? That's the trademark of we social workers..

The interview went quite smooth'y and was quite casual.. But I still ranked the interview @ TTSH as No. 1..


If I am selected by CGH, this job will only last me for 3 months and I should start work next monday (WOAH!!). Coz it's a temporary position to cover for a MSW who will be going on maternity leave.

Well... 3 months, probably quite short but still not too bad i think.
At least I could get a feel of the social work field and to see if I should continue in it.
But then again, probably 3 months is not that sufficient.

Though they sounded like they wanted to hire me, see how it goes bah.. Probably they are turned off by this conversation:


Interviewer 1: (asking another interviewer 2)
When do we need her to start?

Interviewer 2:
hm.. 3rd July, juz in case she gives birth early.

Ling:
Wow... .. That's next monday.

Interviewer 1:
Oh. that's fast. I didn't know it's next week.
So when can you start? Since you didn't state in the earliest start date.

Ling:
I juz need some time to buy clothes.

Interviewer 1 & 2:
HAHAHAHA... ...






oh yeah! TRANS is hiring social workers!!

forgot to tell you guys that i went for an interview at Tan Tock Seng Hospital for a position as Medical Social Worker.

met 2 other fellow social work mates there.. yes. they are all vying on the same post as me..


anyway, for the interview, we still need to do a case-study loh..
1. Draw out the geno-gram and ecomap of the peron
2. Provide some assessment of the case
3. Describe the skills and knowledge essential for case management
4. Give some social work principle and ethics for this case...


-.-
it is like exams loh..



but well, i think this interview is not bad. At least it is not a FLOP like the MOE one..
social workers jiu shi social workers, all of them are very friendly. Even the one who has a stern look ah, can still laugh during my interview.. i think i did a job in entertaining them.

maybe coz i m the last to be interviewed, they have no more questions to ask me until one of them has to ask:

Interviewer:
Hm.. .. i can see that you are very active in the orchestra.
Which instrument did u play?

Ling:
I played Yang Qin

Interviewer:
Oh, that one (hands showing the playing Yang Qin movement)

Ling:
(not bad. she really know what is Yang Qin)

Other interviewers:
(looking blur)

Interview:
it is very relaxing..

Ling:
(attempting to explain to the other 3 poor interviewers what a Yang Qin is)
it is the one.. squarish one..
recently there's a Mediacorp advertisement featuring it..
(actually the advertisement that ling was referring to, is the one where they show Mediacorp can do anything from Rocks to Classical Music. the one where the fat man was immense in crowds of cheer den he suddenly turned to play the Yang qin)

Interview:
OH! They show you on TV??

Ling:
NO NO. Not me, juz the Yang qin.

Interview:
oh.. not featuring you ah..



i quite enjoyed this interview coz i think i made sense in what i am talking about.. and also, i DO NOT NEED TO TRANSLATE anything into chinese.

oh yes, I'll be going for an interview at CGH on next monday!! yeah!!
I juz love to work in hospital!!

JOKE OF THE DAY



One day, ling and sing went shopping at Orchard.
They shopped from 4.30 to 8pm and decided that it is time for dinner.
So, they went to the Rabbit Brand shop at Lucky Plaza,



and ordered SET G


Sharks'Fin + Scallop + Abalone Sauce Noodle with Shredded Chicken Meat + Chinese Tea + Red date white fungus soup


it was cheap and very very yummy.


While ling was gorging on the yummy food (partly becoz she was very hungry and partly becoz the shop is preparing for closing le], she suddenly heard a "OH!!"


ling immediately turned in the direction of sing sing to see what has happened.



GOSH. Something has happened to sing sing.



Something really bad.



Sing sing was too hungry and excited that she put pepper into her bowl of Red date white fungus soup instead of the Shark's Fin soup.

Dear all, I would like to make an important announcement..













My dear Paulynn is attached!!! YEAH!!




(and you tot it is me who is attached? Chey.. wait long long.. )


but anyway, whether it is me or Paulynn, it is an equally goodie goodie news..
A even happier news is that her James is very good to her and she is very happy..


Another even even happier news is that Mr James can sing!! YEAH!! finally got another guy voice for my ktv session... hur hurhur


so, to Paulynn:
不要管别人怎么说, 只要自己心里觉得舒服就够了..
珍惜现在所拥有的.. and the same old words, 不要想太多啦!
if not, i box u ah..

June 3, 2006

yeah!! i finally can upload my photos here le.. so here they are..



mine was a night flight.. though SilkAir dun have very good in-flight entertainment but they got very very nice food. and for a glutton like me, food is all that matters. Even my 干爹 looked so satisfied with his food.
by the time we reached 南宁 (Capital of Guangxi) and checked in, it was about 12am liao..

Day 2

Basically for Day 2, we only went to this place to see the famous 德天大瀑布. coz the journey from 南宁 to the waterfall is about 4hrs, to and fro will be 8hrs le..
Anyway, it is the second largest transnational waterfall after the Nigara Waterfall.


Vietnam and China is juz divided by that river. it is such a pity that i cannot get to the Sino-Vietnamese boundary tablet and 两脚踩两个国家.. coz there has been cases of Vietnamese thieves who snatched tourists'belongings and den ran off into Vietnam where the Chinese police cannot do anything..


Day 3

This is the China Asean Expo.. and i think my jump is better..


after the trip to expo, we went on a river cruise on 漓江.. and sorry, cruise is not on Star Virgo but on a traditional wooden raft.. it is really a 享受 when u take a slow cruise, drink a sip of hot tea and see the nice scenery..
the bottom row of photos show how the man made use of a bird to catch fish.. the man will first tie a string around the bird's neck so that when the bird fishes, it will not be able to swallow the fish and the man can juz take the fish.. so clever!!





to be continued...
