Finally have time for rest & animes ...

Right, the first weekend after I started working for a temporary full time job.

Yesterday, I managed to finish my work by 17.35, so ... I get to leave early. Well, at least earlier than my first day at work. The last 2 hrs or so of my work time yesterday was spend 'boxing' - for the 2004/2005/2006 (first six months) documents, and labeling them, accordingly.

Went to lunch with Christ and Merly - at the canteen situated opposite of the company building. After lunch, Merly taught me how to use the Agile programme, and that's probably what I will be learning next week as well.

Anyway, work aside - my mother wanted me to pay her back the amount of money she used for my transportation when my salary was credited into my bank account. Also I think the food expenses as well , thankfully - excluding saturday.

Right, and I would need to pay her back the money for the PC formatting/CD writer ... and office softwares - the other time ... also for my new clothes and shoes for work.

Well, I guess that's fine, so long my bank account gets money credited and remained above the basic requirement of 500 dollars. I am fine with whichever conditions my mother had laid down for me. Shopping expenses, would have to come from my pay as well ...

I still make it a habit to save as much as possible from my saturday food expenses, so that I could probably pay for some of my traveling fees/ monthly magazines expenses when I go out. However, the 13 dollars which I owed Evelyn and probably the birthday celebration expenses would have to come from my salary in time. That reminds me, I would need to get Shuhua's present as well ...

Anyway, I think I'll pay my mother the money she used for my traveling fees, and my clothes & shoes first, also my handphone bill ...

Later, I'll be catching up on some animations - namely, Naruto, Monster Princess, and probably Seto no Hanayome. Claymore & Romeo Juliet - I'll wait until there's more episodes before watching. Am now reading fanfics, and I should probably continue on my fanfics spee now ... See Ya!

First day of office work ...

First, I'm 3 minutes late, as I had trouble finding the exact location of the company. Should I say a 'Plant' instead ? My department office was situated in the factory itself, and its' temperature was more of the AOA room back in ITE. In fact, the whole place resembled an ITE itself. Only, the canteen was situated on the 4th level.

There's a gym, but only perm staff could access for it require their ID card. Mine's a temporary staff ID card, so it was one without 'code'.

Anyway, I spend the whole day of work doing stamping of documents, sorting and filing. Photocopying and Scanning as well, mainly paperwork. The only data entry I did today, was to update the company stuff into their system, and their customer documents stuff.

For I still had no access to my account yet, I had to work using the public PC station today. And I certainly hoped that the phone on my desk will not ring at all ... since I had no idea how to answer their call, as it was one that comes with extention ... I think ... mine's is 506 ??? cannot remember exactly ...

Ate lunch with Chris Kuang, another temp staff, a male - who's hired for the sake of taking over Merli, who's pregnant and going on maternity leave by October. Both of us were currently trained by Merli, and Alice - 'OJT' kind of ... so far so good, I think I will treat the experience as if I'm taking up a temporary course.

Their company make use of the program 'Agile' and 'Oracle' - both of which, I had no idea of how to operate them, and that's exactly what I would have to learn from scratch. Anyway, I certainly hoped they (Merli & Alice) will not choose to go on leave at the same time, for both Chris and myself were still learning, so ...

Right, and for now - there's no OT yet ... but Chuah, our supervisor said that if the workload is heavy, then we might need to do some OT. Whatever it is, I have decided that if it's on the day I'm preoccupied with things to do after work, then I'll finished up the urgent documents if they came in - during the morning. As for the 'not so urgent' documents, I might put them on hold - until the next day, and stayed back for OT on the following day, instead of the day itself - if I did have something on.

I think that's pretty much all for now ... I'll update again, when I finally get a chance to use their programmes. Then you can see how I complain or whine, or boasted about my ability, understanding of their programmes.

Interview at RecruitExpress ...

Today, I went over to Recruit Express at Jurong JTC Summit. I met up with Eve, and the interview was alright ... the atmosphere was rather laid-back and comforting ... Which, I should thanked my lucky stars ...

Anyway, she said that she would inform me if I'm shortlisted for any of the job positions which she had submitted for me ... probably within these two days...

I hoped that I could get the NTU job ... for that sounds more appealing than the positions located at Pandan Rd. ..

*Sigh* Will update more, if the position is confirmed.

Temp Job Hunting ...

Yes, I am on a temp job hunt ... *bleh* Went to the extend of buying newspaper and checking out online job ads. Well, I even submit my resume to sites such as 'Singapore jobs online' ...

Well, that and ... I uploaded my resume to the recruit express site as well ... *wonder if I can get some response from there*

If not, my last resort was to work for Mcdonalds or Mos burgers ... probably Mcdonalds ... =_=();; Well, that's the last resort though ... since this kind of job had low pay ... *Argh!*

Well, I think that's all for now ... going off ...

Bored

Had no idea how to get around to the task of looking for temp jobs ... *bleh* Ended up seeking help from cousin and XH, but in all honestly - I am not holding onto any hopes or whatsoever.

=_=();; The sheer idea of wanting to look for a temp job, was simply for the sake of earning some extra money for spending, and to pass my time. Secondly, I wanted to try out the office environment... Until now, I've never tried working in an office environment before ...

Also, probably because I wanted to gain some practical and working experience. Aside from my experience of working in fast food restaurant, private tutor and sales assistant in the comic rental shop. Honestly, I had no idea how to write a formal and proper job application letter till' now ... and my resume was not really all glory and wonderful to look at.

*sigh*

Recent Happenings

Alright, I'm left with pathetically 4 dollars from my monthly trip to Orchard, since Monday ... Bleh ...
