Finally dragged my lazy ass down to Midland House to get my Japanese exam pass certificate. I emphasize "pass".

i know what you mean! i keep thinking to myself that i want to go teach in japan yadah yadah... but then i remember my age and then wonder if i can afford to just pick up and go after my bond has ended.

and my jlpt cert has expired already i think, so i cannot apply for that job hahaha.

[prodigal_sun]

hehe when does your bond end?

last i heard, they were in demand of english teachers. is that still the case?

huh? JLPT expires?????

[chashaobao]

my bond ends in 1 year 8 months... i think. maybe less?

and i don't know if jlpt expires... i just assumed, you know, since i'd definitely fail if i took it now. you mean it doesn't? *glee*

hha i dont think so. Just like our English / Chinese O levels grades dont really expires...but of course if a job requires you to be proficient in Japanese im sure they will conduct some screening like tests hehe

yeah! just like instead of telling/informing ppl, some keep saying "Let me share with you...." share what share? i don't like to share, can? Grr!
hahah.. sorry, got a bit too worked up ;p

hehe tough day at work?
dont know what's the context but that sounds so patronising, OR gossipy whahahaah!!! another term people in my previous workplace like to use is "moving forward...". oh yea i've moved on alright. but in my current workplace there's a colleague who likes to say "for sure" all the time. all the amsuing little idiosyncracies :P

[fortuitous]

why not?

its never too late to try something new.

well for one, i dont have the qualifications. My japanese is still "half bucket water" hahaha. and, it's all the way in Tampines! I'm living at the other end in the west.

but seriously, if there is an opportunity to work in japan in my current job or elsewhere, i wouldnt mind :P
