My mind...

Is in a mess. There has been several occurrences that I would usually write about, like the appearance of Durian Durian, my scheduled Strawberry lunch next week, problems with Stumps in the office, but I've been so crazy busy recently - What with the diligent gymming, a busy period at work, and working at the Marina Bay Sands recruitment drive(see, I didn't even mention that) last weekend.

I'd summed up all my courage to approach Dennis Andreaci, the VP for Marina Bay Sands Casino, and handed him my application form(which, to my horror, I'd later discover that it was not filled up completely). I even approached Ken, the regional SVP, to introduce myself.

While I was talking to Ken, Dennis walked over and said to Ken that I applied for a position in Marketing. Ken then turned to me and said, "Don't worry, you've got the job." When I looked at him in disbelief, he smiled, and continued. "We're all out here on the floor at this event, looking to recruit people on the spot. So when we say you've got the job? You've got the job."

It was later confirmed to me by a guy working in the HR department, that Dennis and Ken always mean what they say. I honestly believe that, but unfortunately, I also know the vicious cycle of handing down instructions from the top.

They might really want to put me on trial in Marketing as a VIP host or the Players Club Representative, but the moment they hand down my application form to a subordinate - Perhaps an AVP, perhaps a Senior Manager, whoever - by the time it goes down to the right person who will be interviewing me and deciding my fate, the message would most prolly be lost along the way.

Adam offered to discreetly mention about my application if a chance arise, and while I still have my doubts, I'm feverently hoping against all hope. I have roughly 2 more weeks of crossing my fingers to do before I know its time to give up. And with the unexpected 7000 applicants turnup for the weekend event, I probably won't hear from MBS that soon, if at all.

I still wish to update about the bits and pieces of recent events, but that would prolly be placed on the backburner until 28th August, when I go on my 17 days Australia trip. :)

'Stumps-free' for more than 2 weeks. WOOHOO... I can't wait!
