There are a few times in life where you experience the full weight of society pressure and parental pressure. One of them is when you are graduating....

Dad (D) : "Have you found a job yet?"
Me (M) : "No"
D: "Well, any interviews?"
M: "No"
D: "What if you still haven't found a job until June??! Have you thought of doing masters?"
M: "Well, graduation IS in July!"
D: "What abt masters ?"
M: "We talked about this..."
D: "You know I have a friend that has a plastic factory, do you want to meet him?"
M: "I'm in computer engineering!"
D: "You are very stubborn, you know that?!"
M: "Genetics..."

This has been going on a few times. Until a few days ago the same people met up again.

D: "Are you OK?"
M: "Yeah... how are you?"
D: "Good"
(long pause)
M: "Well i suppose I have to tell you this sooner or later, I got a job offer"
D: "That's good!!! Congratulations"
M: "Thanks"
D: "When did you get this?"
M: "A few days ago"
D: "Have you told Mom?"
M: "Yes"
D: "When?"
M: "A few days ago"
D: "Oooh... (long pause)"
M: "Well you were giving me pressure..."
D: "Well, actually, I have been talking to my friend with the factory abt you. He's ready to meet you anytime"
M: "Stubborn"

Like father like daughter it seems :P.

Yes folks, I have found a job, supposedly with a very good company. Will be signing the offer letter this week and starting in July. So, no traineeships for now unfortunately. Maybe some years down the line :)

On to the next unfinished business: apartment hunting!
Anyone offering a good apartment in Singapore? 2 or 3 bedrooms? Currently there's 3 of us looking for 1 apartment and having 5 agents working. But 0 apartments so far with only 7 days left. Hm hum , the numbers just don't seem quite right!
