Someone had first piano lesson ? how does it feel , to have someone , carass ur hands and guide those hands to the proper keys , that produces melodies of the chords... the sensual feeling of being carassed by music , lol
-
How was the piano lesson?
And me thinks my parents are too proud of me for their own good. I'm not really happy about it.
I'm the one looking for a job, not them, and they are picking on about everything I can think of. It's like they are looking for a son-in-law with all the XXX qualities.

It's normal for parents to act this way.
My parents don't like it as well when I first told them I wanted to become a teacher. They said it is a profession which will not earn a lot of money and it doesn't fully make use of my degree.
I just ignored them and went ahead with my plans. Now that I gave them allowance from my pay every month, they kept quiet already

parents just want the best for their kid, but sometiems jsut have to over-ride them and do it your way. just make sure you consider their points. + remember you can always change jobs -
Yeah... I know they want the best... but the best must be reasonable also right? Theirs aren't really reasonable...
Job: 8 to 5 kind, no OT, no shift work
Pay: At least $1600
Location: Somewhere where there's lots of human traffic...
At the moment, I have chosen to go against them, because I want to get CPF board off my back first. If I go with them and request this and that for a job, I will never get one and I'll have more problems instead.
-
hmmz, no OT is not possible whatever job you do sure got OT de. the only job no OT is possibly some shift jobs.but i guess some OT and not too late should be ok bah
-
Depends on timing lor... but if work normal from 8 to 5, OT shouldn't be too late...
Can't care so much now. Get CPF board off my back first. If I don't pay, I will kena sue. I want to avoid this... but seems like they can't listen...
-
yeah as i said can always change job when you get a better one. you want to go the ktv thing?

They are just worried about you ba...parents tend to be like this when their child first step into the working world...
After a while when you have proven you can take care of yourself, they will start to not care so much...

Boh lui... me jobless... probably no outings for me until I get a job.

Why you need to pay the CPF board? -

Yup... they are. They said very clearly. But I have to learn to take care of myself. All the way till before I graduate, I go along with their decisions, which partly made me someone who is spoilt and dependent on others. Even for a job interview, they aren't confident of my map reading skills and say want to bring me there.

Just tell them that you are old enough to start taking care of yourself. Maybe for parents, it is very hard for them to see their child as an adult.
Just go ahead with whatever you think is right for yourself. It is your life, if you want it enough, nobody can really stop you ;)
Maybe just need to put up with the nagging for a little while though

LOL... the little while is going to last very long as long as I don't go along with them.
