I tink i will leave after getting my dip thou....'A' levels only is juz useless. Considering to take up a biz admin part-time dip with SP...but will take me 4yrs to get it....Dun tink i will ever save enuf to take a pte degree so i guess i will juz go for it. But actually, i hate changing jobs leh...im the kind who hates to go for interviews, hate writing cover letters & resumes, hate having to settle down in a new environment all over again. Im juz super lazy! Unless the job affects my health or the bonus is juz too **** miserable, i tink im the type who will stay until company close down !!
