-*- Zee Lady Chatterley
In Mitz’s words, “Lady Chatterley was this woman married to a paraplegic and she had a lover cuz she wanted a real life with a real man. “Yes, that’s me. Intrigued? Yeah, I’m a slut. I’m a job slut.
Yes, I have a lover (job) behind my paraplegic (job) cuz I want a real life with a real (job). If all goes well, I’m gonna go through a divorce tomorrow and elope with my lover (job) in two weeks!
My latest update was the oh-so-desirable interview that I went. I bet NO ONE prayed for me, cos I didn’t get the job. Haha… But really, I wouldn’t have mind being in that company. Oh well, what to do, such is life.
Anyway, since that interview, I have successfully moved on and gotten myself a real job. Sort of. Actually the process should have given me some hints… Seeing how my past two hundred interviews have failed and fell flat on my face, I decided to keep all interviews from my family, lest they get even more anxious for me. In fact, they were more worried about my unemployment than I was… So I went for this interview SECRETLY, hid it from everyone cept Vincent.
Anyway, towards the end of the interview, the director who interviewed me asked me when I can start work!! I mean talk about desperate man! Seriously no QC! One interview and she offered me. I mean I AM IMPRESSIVE, no doubt, but she didn’t need to show me her desperate-ness what!
Well, I also didn’t have much QC. So a week and a half later, I started work, as an events executive in the organization.
First week went quickly, I was stumbling my way through, waiting for some kind of action. But it went past without any surprises. Lonely lunches, and prompt knock-off time, the usuals of a new job.
In the 2nd week, I realized, there won’t be action, EVER. I was involved in two events that week, both of which I wasn’t really working, more like having fun and eating. And that’s something I’m so not used to!!! To me, doing events is HARD WORK and more HARD WORK.
Being the slut I am, and can’t help but start wandering lustfully. All of a sudden, I saw two men (I WISH, jobs I mean) lying in front of me. I couldn’t help but decide to try them both out. How seducing those “men” were. Let’s just call them King and Prince.
King is introduced by my ex-colleague, who is with King already, and wanted me to join her. Prince is recommended by my sister’s friend, who used to be with Prince and loved it.
I love both men. I didn’t know how to choose. But Prince couldn’t wait and decided to give me an ultimatum, June 6, or NEVER. King? No response. He liked me, but there were some issues. I had to say yes to Prince or I’ll lose him forever. I did so on June 6.
And after I said yes to Prince, King asked me again on Monday evening – HATEFUL! But well, thankfully or not, he only called me in to tell me how incompatible we were. That he would need me to be in rubber boots and wear construction caps to work on the ground. I was like, erm, not so much my kinda thing.
So the story goes, I will be meeting up with Prince and planning the elopement for two weeks later. I shall be signing an elopement letter tonight and I am officially a Job Slut!
Story of Zee Lady Chatterley, I say.

-*- The Stark Difference
Two persons asked me the same question:“Should I get it in black or silver?”
And they are both referring to cameras… So I asked for pictures… 2nd person, aka Vincent Fu Ah-Shun, sent me links to this…
Erm, well apparently, not the SLEEKEST camera, but still acceptable.
Talk about sleek, see what the first person, aka Mitz-Mich-Merchelle-Jean-Yeang-with-the-longest-name-that-I-can-never-remember-the-order-even-after-ten-years (small thing to note: she has since added her hubby’s last name to her name, killing me even more).. ANYWAY, she sent me the following…
Sleek eh? Well, for Ancient Egytian standard, according to Vin…
Stark difference.
BTW, she bought her camera two weeks ago. Vin hasn’t, but will do so as soon as they come up with the appropriate 120-mm film that fits into this new HAPPENING camera, much like the following:
OH WAIT! That was for Mitz’ "new" camera…
