Imma Cheap Labour

My final exams finally ended yesterday! I can finally watch my favourite movies and drama series!! Yaaayy!! And guess what!? I finally got a job offer from some interior design company!!! Although interior design is not my field, but who cares! At least I don’t have to worry that I couldn’t find any job for my internship. As long as people are willing to hire me and gimme a chance to learn and gain experience. Hahaha!!!

On Thursday night, I heard my phone rang when I was halfway through my dinner. So I ran quickly to my room and answered it. It was a young woman who called, and she sounded like only few years older than me. She said she is calling from BlaBla company, told me that they received a mail from my coll regarding my internship. Then she said her company is offering me an internship position there and she will call me to go sign the job offer letter when it’s ready. Which means that, I don’t have to go through any interview for the job. Haha! And throughout our conversation, I kept asking her to repeat the company’s name cuz she said it too fast and I couldn’t get it.

And coincidentally, S.Yee got the job offer from the same company as well. So both us went to the office today which is located in Hartamas. we departed one hour early, cuz we are not familiar with the place. We were punctual (of course laa!) and reached the office at 10 mins before the appointment. The office is not big but the environment is not bad laa. The young woman came and greeted us then brought us to a meeting room to briefly tell us about our position before signing the job letter. She was very nice and friendly, and I hope everyone who works there are friendly too. *fingers crossed*

Once she handed me the job offer letter, the first thing I check was not my name nor my IC, it was the allowance! Haahahaha!! And guess how much they are offering us?







Jeng Jeng Jeng !!
RM300
only
T____T

I was like………………. Wudda…… really disappointed laaa. My dad told me that I should have negotiated a higher allowance, but how? I'm just an intern who has no working experience. I was hoping that she would offer us at least RM400, since we are coming from Puchong. T__T She said, if our performance is good, she will pay extra but I doubt that lor. Define good performance…. Sigh. And I think if she really means it, the maximum she can give is only RM350. *Hopefully I'm wrong*

The briefing was fast and we left after we signed the offer letter, we stayed less than 30 mins. Although the environment is good but parking rate is very expensive! RM2.50 for the 1st hour and RM2 for every subsequent hours! S.Yee and I are now deciding where to park the car. Plus, the food is expensive too, there are no econ rice or RM4 meehoon soup, all I saw were cafes and fancy restaurants. So tell me, how to survive with only RM300 allowance per month! I think I’m gonna bring bread and sandwiches for lunch, eat in the office alone, help them to jaga office, to become a good “performer” so they will pay me extra. T___T

My friends' internship allowance is RM500! Y.Wen even laughed at me, she said I'm cheaper than foreign workers. Imma cheap labour, cannot meh. *crying pathetically* But hey, they are some interns only receiving RM200 as their allowance. So should I consider myself lucky?

Maybe I’m not so “cheap” after all. Hah!
