219th post>I'm back
After months of missing-in-action, after weeks of trying to settle down, i'm back blogging.
Finally met up with my beloved 14/06 on 18th for a steamboat gathering at Marina Bay Steamboat area. It was obviously fun-filled. Guys did most of the cooking at my table. You didn't hear it wrong. And the guys are my great Lao Gong Bobo, Ernest and Alvin. I was afraid I would dirty my top as warned by Ernest that the oil will spill in all directions, so I sat back and waited for my food to be delivered onto my plate. My plate was filled with food. I ate so much, I felt that all the weight I've lost in the event of getting a new job and cutting down on my diet has been restored. OMG. Chormin is so professional. She cooked alot and didn't eat much. She could withstand the temptations! Boss' cell group leader and two churchmates joined us. We took lots of photos of course. But currently unavailable as boss has yet to send them to me.
Working at Starhub CSC is definitely very interesting. Most prominent feature of this job: everyday is filled with excitement, 'cos you have no idea who you're going to meet today as you cannot anticipate who are your customers unless you are a future teller. (This reminds me of Heroes) I absolutely adore those customers who come in cheerfully and making their simple requests that would not give me too much trouble. The challenging part of the job, is when your customer approaches you with loads of questions, which would probably drown you. I can't keep track of how many times that happened to me. One thing, I'll be so confused and my concentration will all be diverted away from the simple task that I'm familiar with, and thus problems occur. I even miss out simple things like getting the signature of the customer. Luckily for me, I've got great masters like JianWei and Sharifah who are always there to guide and help me whenever I make a mistake. Definitely not forgetting some other colleagues who are always approachable and friendly. On the other hand, some people have showed me the ugliness of the working society. Competitiveness and i'm-scared-of-trouble attitude are apparent. But still, thanks to who-i-shall-not-name, you made me see your true colours. I understand that working in this century, in this society is more or less standing on our own feet. But I'll still be praying hard to meet kind souls everyday, but I would understand it all stems down to being independent. Enough of Starhub.
I'm missing out so many fun lately. Boss' city harvest programe on 24th, jts is coming up on the 26th, SE alumi gathering on the 28th... I can't attend at all. There's so many things I've yet find time to do, which includes my braces! OH MY! Looking forward to having class gathering again though. Ernest will have to confirm the date again.
