mused @ 9:35 PM
in november 2006, the day after he ORDed, he begun looking for a job. his friend yue chau procured him his first job. it had to be a short job; he was going taiwan again for 1 month.
and so his first job was to pack cards. it was menial and tiring work. but at least the employer was friendly. $7 dollars an hour for menial labour was alright too he supposed.
2 weeks was all the job asked of him and bade farewell to his employer after a short stint. before he left for taiwan, he begun to hunt for another job that he would do when he came back. and when it came down to a choice between a pr company and an it assisitant's job in temasek secondary, it was quite easy to choose.
january the 3rd, he made his way down to telok ayer street to begin his 6 month intership stint with kaiiten communications. it was a boutique pr firm that specialised in helping sme do pr. and since it was relatively small company, he learnt a fair bit.
over the 6 months, he learnt how to what are press releases and press advisories. he learnt to call news rooms and persuade people to buy the story. he learnt that research was fundamental in pr as well. he learnt a lot those days. and he was lucky. but somehow he also realised that maybe pr wasn't his field either. but he would let school decide for him that.
he was glad he went for school camp and made friends. or else he would have been a lonely wreck. he didn't know anyone who was going to sci. now he knew.
and now on the eve of the 27th, it was time.
