Finally, I’m working

For the past 2 months(Nov and Dec), I’ve enjoyed slacking at home, watching VCDs, youtube-ING, design-ING. These were what I wished to do during my exam period. But after “slacking” for too long, life was really very boring. keep repeating the same thing..without doing something that is more meaningful. Called up the schools near my house to check if they need any relief teacher. I waited … waited and waited.. And there wasnt any news.

I hate the feeling of waiting. Somemore, I wasnt sure if the schools need any relief teachers. So, I decided to msg my cousin to see if she knows any company that needs part time worker. So, she told me about the job, and I went for the interview. This was my second job interview..my first office job..my first formal interview.

One day before my interview..

  1. Typed out my resume
  2. Talked to the mirror and imagined that I am in an interview =X

Thursday 3 Jan (Interview Day)
I thought I will mess up the interview.. I thought that I will be nervous and just mess the whole thing up. But in the end, I didnt. So proud of myself =) btw, im working as a finance adminstrator. That night, I was so excited that I couldnt sleep. =)

Friday 4 Jan (First Day)
Finally, I’m in the working class. When I reached Tanjong Pagar MRT station, I was totally SHOCKED Sealed! I didnt know that there will be alot of people alighting here.

Alot of my friends are working in Tanjong Pagar too. Perhaps I can meet them after my work.

The first day of work was full of excitement and anxiety. I’m new to everything - the working place, the environment and everything. But, I’m slowly getting used of this. I enjoyed myself while working. I can learn new skills, make friends..

I was given a stack of papers to key into the computer. Although there was many things to key in, but I pushed myself to complete everything by one day. The sense of satisfaction and accomplishment I felt was something others may not feel that. I was supposed to meet my friends for a farewell dinner for the guys who are going NS. But, I was too engrossed with my work until I did not notice the time. By the time I finished my work, it was already 8pm.

Saturday 5 Jan
Continued to do whatever tasks that were given to me. Had lunch together with Ah Hong Jie jie before going back to office. Reached home in the evening. And msged KS about the company hand-over. KS going NS soon, and he will be handing over his company to me for the time being. So, I will be very busy starting next wednesday.

Daytime, I’m finance administrator.

Night time, I’m Sales Consultant + Technical Support + Billing Consultant.

Luckily, during my holidays, I visited the Data Center, get to know the whole operation. Learnt how to set up Reseller Hosting and Shared Hosting, domain name. What I’m worrying is the part on replying clients’ emails. Sometimes they will ask those really chim questions that I dont know how to reply.

Sunday 6 Jan
I think i am going fat soon. Eat..Work…Eat..Work…
Today is a very wonderful day. I received 2 tuition teaching requests which i was waiting since dont know when. Think will put tuition during weekends. =) ok. that’s all for today..
