Allowance

Today is my first working day (Officially). I had started work a month earlier due to a special request from Mr Chan. Mr Chan is very friendly and also serious at the same time.

His consideration for me is greatly appreciated. Since I'm in DEB (Diploma in Engineering w/ Business) and TanGuanLee Co. Ltd is considered to be a development company, my knowledge that is applicable is very limited.

During my interview, Mr Chan asked for my background and questions regarding what I do after school hours. I feel that I had done well because the whole interview lasted for 45 minutes and the conversation had been going smoothly without pauses.

Lastly would be my allowance/pay, this issue kicks in only at the end of the interview. It was so engaging that I clearly forgotten about it until Mr Chan reminded me. He is willing to give me $700 instead of the $450 as promised by Mr Chee. I felt relieved as $450 is really too demanding. Unless I'm going home after work and do not go out on weekends, I will definitely exceed the budget. This is my normal breakdown for my daily expenses;

Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner - $15-$20 (Depending on whether I'm ordering drinks)

Transport (Bus/Train) - $4

Taking $19/day and 30days a month, minimum expenses per month will be $520. Hence $450 is not enough and $700 will be adequate if we consider miscellaneous cost for recreation activity.
