Me turn to talk =P

Blubbs.. Long time never see you online, yeah let's keep in touch with this blog. My turn to talk.. cough. clears throat.

Well, for my side, school has just started this Monday. So I gave my virgin practical lesson on the first day of school. Was so nervous the day before that I couldn't sleep! For some reason I felt a little depressed too, on the day before, thinking to myself what mess have I gotten myself into =( But well, the first lesson turned out fine, it was pretty fun actually, torturing students (oopss, I mean guiding them). And the students are pretty cheeky and responsive too =) Felt a sense of satisfaction after teaching the first lesson. Hrmm.. after all, life is about moving out of your comfort zone and trying new things and meeting new challenges, that's what I've always believed..

On a not-so-good note, my application for Singapore Permanent Resident is delayed because of this rule stating that your appointment date must not be before you apply for PR. So the 1 hour trip I spent going to the immigration office, and the half an hour I've spent queuing up to get a ticket was wasted. I have to get the appointment date postponed (means I start to get paid later!!) and I have to go back to the immigration office tomorrow. Argh.. I don't know, I just felt like crying on the spot when the lady told me that I'll have to change the date before they will accept my application.

It's like the more and harder I work, the less I get paid and the poorer I am. I feel so helpless. I have already started work in school in July unofficially, but the office told me they can't pay me between the month of July till the date of my official appointment as a full-time staff because I can't be considered as one, and they're still looking for other avenues to pay me (probably as a part-time staff or something). My loan has started running and so now I'm basically borrowing money from my mother to pay off my loan and my rent.. on top of that, BOTH my ex-employers (the kiwi one and the meanine ang moh) still owe me pay even though I keep on reminding them to. It feels so sucky when all the money you've worked so hard to earn just evaporated into thin air, and you'll have to borrow to get on with life. And the fact that your ex-meanine ang moh boss, who agreed to pay you after hurling so much words of abuse, just didn't reply to any of your e-mails, blocked you on msn and stopped your email account didn't help at all. I don't know. Seems like I may be better off rotting at home, since I don't get paid for anything anyway, and I'm wasting money traveling to and fro my workplace, eating lunch etc =_= This just sucks, and I got so depressed on the journey back to work. But never mind me, I forgot about it soon after lunch..

Anyways, I decided to lodge a complaint against my boss in the ministry of manpower. I do hope that the employment act covers part time employees as well. I don't really want to do it, I feel so bad, but at the same time I'm so sick and tired of sending e-mails to get my pay with no reply whatsover. I've sent him a final reminder to pay me and told him that I'll go to the ministry next week. Maybe he'll reply me with some mean words again.. Bahh.. This is your Jean, with money going out but no money coming in, though she goes for work everyday. Do you still wanna hug me T_T
