Gotta stop working these jobs soon. Majority of the shoppers who approached me spoke Chinese! Surprising, considering that I never really had to use Chinese to speak to anyone in my childhood. Hmmmm yea these few weeks my fluency in Chinese seems to have increased by a lot. Its weird that, when I talk to my mum sometimes, I can rely on Chinese words to get the message across more effectively. Hmmm, that's why some kid's Chinese results are better than others, they just use the language more! Screwed up advantage. Hahaha but its good la, though I prefer to speak good English and stilted Chinese instead.
Concerned for my dad and his future career. He wants to take a job in Sydney, which pays half his current salary. I'm not so comfortable with that, though my mum has taken it positively. She insists that the move will help him slip into the Australian culture more easily, yet give him a comfortable atmosphere to work in. The majority of the company's employees are Singaporeans. My view is that the job is not in Melbourne; that defeats the purpose of moving to Australia to be with us in the first place. Secondly, the pay cut is huge. I mean, there's no real pressure for him to move now, and I would much rather he stay on in his current job, and search for something better. He's got time on his side, and we aren't in dire need of cash either.
Think it through mummy and daddy! Hopefully I will be able to convince my mum a little. Heh.
