Genting
Whoa..finally I’m getting some free time off to blog right now. It’s just been really tiring working from 9 to 8pm. Anyway, last week Sunday, went to Genting Highlands to apply for a technician job with Chong Yu and Shiong Chung. Hehe, well my intention isn’t really looking forward to the job there..I’ve longing to enter the casino as well as having some fun. Yu and Chung thought otherwise though.
I arrive earlier than both of them at Terminal Putra. Usually, I’m rather the latest LOL. We bought the 9.15am bus. As we were waiting for the bus, we talked about the day since we last met what have they been up to. Get this, both of them have been infected with the ‘Warcraft’ disease. What kind of syndrome you asked? Late night daily CC visits till the sun rises in the East. Practically that’s how they passed the day. Great. No of course not! What kind of life is that?? Errghh..at least hanging out isn’t too bad but Warcraft every day??! Insanity was just a step ahead of them.
We had breakfast at Happy Valley Express once when we were there. The chicken rice plus toast pork is really delicious.
Done, we enquired the counter staff to the loaction of the HR department cos that’s where the applications are being taken. The staff told us to walk passed a candy shop and turn left. I was surprised by how the HR office looked like. Down at a hollow corner…well..more of a back alley and when we entered, huh..what a great shock we had..people are everywhere in the office, obviously they are there to look for job vacancies as well.
I instantly stepped back from the looks of that intensed crowd. I just didn’t have the mood to work here anymore, not with this amount of people. Cos anyway, I’m already helping at a shop, I don’t really need it that much. Yu and Chung needed it as they are unemployed at the moment. So we went to the counter and requested for the application form, at the same time we asked how long would it take to reach our turns, the staff there told us to get back here at 2pm.
Huh, nice..from the way she said it, it’s gonna take freakin long hours. Since we had a couple of hours to waste, I suggested we checked out the casino instead. And we were at the entrance, the sound of cards shuffling, chips clashing each other and dice being rolled were so clearly heard. It’s a sight of awe…looking at the amount of people in here gambling without conscious. The casino itself has fed so many people of their living. Datuk Goh, I salute you!
Seriously, I just can’t have the thought of placing my own hard money on the table only having to be swept away later. What’s the probability of winning the jackpot? What’s the probability of one being lucky? I leave that to someone else who can finally crack it someday to think about.
2pm came, they both submitted their forms..and waited for their turns to be interviewed. Waiting..waiting..waiting..watch displayed 4pm. Still no sign of being their turns yet. We didn’t have the chance to be at neither the indoor and outdoor theme park. Sucks having to wait this way.
When the watch approaches 5, it was Yu’s call. He got in and when he came out later, he described the interview was more of like a chit-chat. And that, he got the job. Excuse me? This is call an interview? LOL. No wonder so many people wanted jobs here. Their work commences next Monday.
When we’re finally done, it’s already almost 5. We decided to return but to our ‘delight’, the skyway queue..the amount people in line were shockingly long. It’ll take hours before it reached us. There are some guys offering to pick customers down all the way to the bus station at the skyway terminal. Obviously with a price much more than the usual skyway fare.
Fortunately, we met one who was willing to charge us only RM1 more than the usual price and we accepted it almost immediately.
I reached home about 8 and boy..what a day. Accompanying the 2 clowns up there look for jobs instead of enjoying LOL. Anyway, it’s nice to spend some quality time with friends.
