1st day at work...
hey finally i started my 1st job after ording soooo long ago in september 2005. an admin job courtesy of my sis. not really a good beginning for me as i had to report for work quite early today which means i had to wake up at 5.30am. not since ording have i need to wake up so early except maybe to watch the champions league.
haizzzz i had not expected this but seems like the situation with the buses has not changed since my sec sch years as i waited for ard 10 min at the busstop for the 1st bus to arrive but it was so full tat i couldn't board it. the 2nd one was just behind it but it was just the same. then i waited for another 5 min and again 2 buses came at the same time. then the one in front was almost full too. luckily i managed to squeeze into the next one. but i was already running late and my sis' fren was waiting for me at boon lay interchange to bring me to the company.
die liao!! late on the 1st day of work... but luckily my sis' fren was not really angry with me or at least she did not show it. ok we arrived at the company and everywhere i go, there were all these guys in blue coveralls. seems like going back to army camp, only the colour is different. ok then i was orientated to the surroundings and was introduced to lots of pple. from the canteen pple, the minimart uncle and auntie, the cleaner, this guy tat was in charged of the gym, the security guard, etc, etc and i dun tink i remember any names now.
ok next up was the work tat i was supposed to be doing. ermmm btw the company name is "something" "something" then MULTI-PURPOSE then "something" "something". can't really remember liao.... ehhhh maybe tat's giving me a clue on wat i'm supposed to be while doing this job.... ok then this girl starts teaching me abt the work tat i was supposed to be doing. i kept taking notes while she just kept explaining abt the work. ehhh maybe my brain really nua too long liao but like quite difficult to remember all the steps and procedures. or maybe i just have a short term memory.
ok then after all the explanation, i was assigned to some tasks and shld i say i'm too suaku liao but seems weird to put it tat way too cos it was the 1st time tat i will be using the typewriter to do some serious work. the only other time tat i sort of "used" the typewriter was playing with it when i was a kid. so i actually had some difficulty using it. but it's really quite troublesome to use it or maybe it's just tat particular one. maybe there are better models or it's just tat i'm a suaku. but makes me appreciate my keyboard, my pc and microsoft word more. ok and talking abt pc, i wasn't given any to use yet. but tink i'll only get to use one when the girl tat i'm supposed to take over leaves and i'll be taking over almost everything and tat includes all the workload. hope tat the pc has an internet connection...
ok and figuring how to use the typewriter correctly seems like a good way to pass the time and soon it was lunchtime already. lunch was this $3 plain rice tat looks incredibly like fried rice. hey but wait, it's actually fried rice! tat's wat the auntie told me it was. only thing is tat it doesn't taste like it at all! ermmm but ok, at least i got a glass of free sugarcane juice. ermmm but not really sure y the uncle din collect the money from me when he brought over the drink. maybe it's their custom to give all newcomers a free drink?
ok then after lunch was again hearing pple explaining and teaching me things and i felt tat my brain was reaching its maximum capacity already. oh no wat a small brain i have... and then finally, the much awaited moment.... time to go home! ok then time to rest my brain and get ready for more inputs tmr...
