1st week of work

finally i'm here blogging. went to work on mon morning. reached singapore shopping centre before 9. yes. it is singapore shopping centre. many people thought i was joking. haha. had a tour around the office and classrooms. received this pass which allows me to access to any part of the office. day1 was all about standing in front of the photocopying machine and printing stuff. learnt how to make use of the different functions of the machine. there are also electronic hole puncher and stapler. was only a bit tired when i came home. slept at around 12+am.

i began using the computer on day2. the other temp staff, ching tong, taught me about key data into the system so info such as the courses and classes will appear on the plasma tv or whatever you call that thing and students will know which classroom to go to. the previous sentence is a bit long. haha. day2 had to work until 8 instead of 6 because there will be a Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) talk. most of the people who attended it were jobless. was tired. i slept at around 11+. haha.

i sat at the reception counter on day3. the recep lady was on leave. was very busy attending to clients and also picking up phone calls. it was not easy. angry callers. influx of clients enquiring about the courses. the day finally ended and i squeezed onto the crowded train. reached yishun after some time. went to safra, bought goggles for my brother and then walked home. very tired. i slept earlier than day 2. at around 11.

day 4 was still ok. sat in front of the computer in the morning. went for lunch and came back to the office. ate until very full. was thinking i'll be busy in the afternoon. had to contact students to confirm with them if they are attending revision classes and also key data of student into the system. however, i was asked to go to the office at the 4th floor. called the students. couldnt contact some of them. either they didnt answer, starhub is unable to get a response from our subscriber or the hi card subscriber is not available blah blah blah. was stuck there for 2 hours. havent been exercising for some time. so i brought along my swimming pants, goggles, shampoo and other stuff that morning. went to swim in the evening after work. it was 8+ when i left the pool. wanted to eat kfc. so i walked to chongpang and bought myself a zinger meal. hehe. day4 was totally cui. at about 10, i could hardly stay awake. went to bed at 10.30. was wondering. working is already so tiring le. when i go to tekong, wont it be more tiring. haha.

day 5. today is ching tong's last day of work. thanked him for teaching me so much during my 1st week of work. and i kept asking a lot of questions. hahaha. went over to park mall this afternoon. there are too many classes and we dont have classrooms le. rented some classrooms over at park mall. many people are upgrading themselves, signing up for cert, advanced cert and diploma courses in tourism. companies are also sending their workers for the lessons too. i'll be reporting to work at 8.30am instead of 9am from next week onwards. and new temp staff will be coming in on mon. heard that he's a regular temp. was keying the schedule for next week. there are lessons in almost all time slots. will be more cui than this week i guess. so many things to do. but it's quite fun la. yeah.
