my computer kind of died for a while. but it came back to life after my daddy fiddled about with it. so yes, i got fired. the moment i came home that night i straightaway applied for a million other jobs online and applied for a hospital attachment. the next day i received a reply from SGH *beams* and a call from RecruitExpress. woahoo. im so good at getting job offers. heh heh.
anyhoos. i had to go for an interview with recruit express the following day. so i dragged mama along, thinking that we cud go girly shopping afterwards. as i got ready nx morning, a woman calls me on my handphone. "is this sharifah aishah?"
"yeah? this is her.. who is this calling?"
i instantly got a job with IRAS (thanks to fai!) without even having gone to a single interview!
man im good. after having been fired, i got mixed emotions. i thought id feel so happy and liberated from office hell, but i was kind of disappointed and upset to get let go of after getting used to the place. then i got the call from IRAS, the sadness tripled and far outweighed the happiness.
but then again the prospect of having a new moneymaking source again (and so soon) got me excited. and i was even more excited to hear that hanisah got the exact same job! its like bestfriend land at work now=)
i started on monday and finished my first week at work today. lunchtime is so pleasant now that i get real company (instead of pretending to be busy smsing a friend by pressing my hp keypad and tryna act all busy). me and hanisah have learnt quite a lot too.
i mean, when u see boring articles on the newspaper about government and finances, do u actually understand the words u read? i actually
know what it means when they say tt tax relief for CPF contribution has gone down from 20% of $5000x12 to $4500x12 as of 2006. or something like that.
i know what a Form IR8A is. and i know all about GCR and PTR and QCR. i know how to calculate tax relief for rental income. even for properties with furnishings and repairs and maintenance and stuff.
only thing is i dont have my own user id and password to enter IRAS system. yet. ha
