Career Talk(MUST READ!)

I was reminded of this incident when I was chatting with my mei abt about career stuff. I recalled I was at this ATROCIOUS freaking scammer career talk back in Sec 4. Bah..wasted my $10. 5 plates of chicked rice(10 in sec sch), 1 movie ticket, and 4 bowling games, or 2 hours pool(roughly). Wth. It was a while back so the details are not so accurate but this is what roughly happened.Ok...So this is what was promoted to us.(PS: Behind this post is the blog for today, 12 March)

1)Confirmed 100% seating
2)Beverages
3)Lunch
4)A CAREER TALK

This is what we got: When we came, the entire place was flooded with lots of other students and people. They were all buying up tickets.We had already "pre-ordered" ours so we flashed them and just walked in and sat down. As the talk started, we saw the hall was filled with students from different schools, and at the back were the people who had just bought the tickets. Its like being in the last few rows.(Which was good for them)

We were served bottles of NEWater, and some packet drinks. They looked positively inviting. The NEWater came from dusty boxes, and the bottles looked as though they were from the last millenia, with dust on them and grime stained caps. Fearlessly, I opened up one and attempted to kill myself with what was in it, but fortunately survived. My other friends(cant remember who) were not so lucky. They drank from their 50-year old packets of soy bean milk. (yummy!) One took a sip, and redecorated the table top with soy bean. Seriously. The others reached for tissue papers, and did CPR on the paper with the milk. Apparently they had gotten the "Extra-Strong" and "Chunky" edition of the milk. you know, like chunky peanut butter, they had "chunky" curdled spoilt soy bean milk. How appetising. Nevertheless, we attempted take a risk and attain more "edibles". Then came the breakfast provided, which was sandwiches.

Great right? WRONGO! They distributed them from the back,and all the (pardon my langauge) LAZY-ASSED INDIVIDUALS who decided to come in and buy last minute tickets like this and paid less than us cos FOOD was not s'posed to be provided for them GRABBED OUR BREAKFAST. Nice job, a$$ho organisers. Because we chose to be nearer the front the food never reach us. Oh goody. The career talk ended up as a preview of a JC lecture, and was a total sleep fest. Before lunch, they just gave us a form to fill, and a booklet to check our "score" to see wad job we could be in. Sixu learns wushu, and is very skilled in fighting. A perfect "nanny" right? Don't ask me; ask the mighty booklet. =.=

I still cant believe I wasted $10 on this. In sec 4, it was half of one week's lunch money. When lunch came, the people at the back rushed out as though the very hounds of Hades were snapping at their heels and got OUR food. we sat near the front and was among the last ot get out. Thanks guys, you paid less and took our breakfast AND lunch. I'm sure we'll survive without the first TWO meals of the day, right? Right? We walked out without bothering to queue for the food because the FREELOADERS were having ours. Jerks. In the end we decided the whole event was a rip-off, the freeloaders were, well, freeloaders, and we could probably sue for fraud. Lacking the monetary recourses, we walked out on the entire show with the "Booklet", and went somewhere else for lunch, skipping the post-lunch sleep fest. In case you're wondering, I can be a "blacksmith". Oh wow, reaaalll useful. I can get a job when Peter Jackson directs "The Lord Of The Rings(Singapore version)" One word. Scammers. Hahaz...
