First day of work...
This is my name badge!! So cool.
Hmm... as my pc wasn't up on the first day, there isn't any much things for me to do except for sorting out of documents and reading their policies.
Didn't dare to go off early because no one is moving at all when it's knock off time. So stress.... I think their culture is very different. In other companies I worked in, people are just rushing to go off and they will chase you home. But in this company... hmm.... very different. And I have to become very independent and take alot of initiatives.
Fell sick on the first day of work, perhaps due to the heaty food on Sun.
Haha... met up with the hr gang in the afternoon. It's been ages since we met.
After which, we head down to Esplanade, there is this "LIVE" human jukebox. They are so expressive. Wonder how they have this courage to sing in front of so many people and they sing really LOUD.
Sketch at Bugis with Jess, Ling and Min...
Haha... have a sweet celebration on Sun for Jess, our bday princess. ahhaa....
We surprised her by giving her an empty paper bag without present and thereafter, we sang bday song for her.
Haha.. she's so happy.
Came back from the Church Renewal Camp in
JB.
Well, it's a good camp. hm... got a bit disappointed though. I think i didn't really feel anything in the camp, maybe because i carried all my worries, problems there and kept thinking about them in the camp.
Rev Jane and Sis Debby said a word of prophecy for all of us. I think i need to think about what and where is God leading me to.
Many lives were changed during the camp and most of them feel God's presence there. Even though I didn't experience it myself during the camp, God is still faithful, it was after the camp that I begin to feel Him.
really glad i went to mervyn's cell grp on sat. through all their sharings about the camp, their feelings... how their lives were changed in the camp, I can see how great things He has done. somehow got very touched by their sharing, my heart just felt different then.
Then, Yong Liang began sharing the word on the Shepherd and the sheep. The shepherd knows the sheep and the sheep know the voice of their shepherd. Well, this sharing is like God is speaking to me... coz I've been pondering very long after the camp on Friday night why I can't hear God speak.
Why He can talk to alot of people and they can hear Him talk.. Why can't I?
Am I his sheep?
On friday night, I prayed very hard and ask God to say something to me but at the same time, I was afraid. Afraid he would talk to me.
Why?
Because if He really talk to me in audible voice, I will be scared to death... coz i am full of crazy imagination... like in the middle of the night and someone talking to you and you can't see that person. It's very eerie...
But at the same time, i yearned to hear him.
So was very bothered and the sharing that day was like... WA...
He speaks to us through the bible. If you need anything, just read his word. the whole Bible is his love letters to us.
ya.. indeed... and I often forget this most impt thing.
He also speaks to us through other people... through dreams... ....
very blessed by all these sharings from the cell grp.
Sorry jm, didn't get back to you coz I didn't come online. in the end, i nv send out the email. But my friends commented it was very well written, persuasive and not offensive. Sorry....
Really very busy looking for jobs for the past few days after I quitted. Scared I cannot find a job for weeks, like one of my friend. So better work hard in finding a job.
These few days was busy and tiring for me.
Day 1- Received lots of calls from the agency and 2 asked me down for interview at their office
- Well, they told me about what kind of company they will send my resumes to, what kind of positions were available...
Day 2- Went down to an interview at another job agency again
- Quickly rushed down for another interview at a hiring company
---> The interview was at Raffles Place, the interviewers (2 of them)... stressed...
- Then, after the interview, quickly took mrt down to another company for another interview
---> The interview was at Teban area...
**my legs were hurting by then due to the heels and I plaster my toes all over coz of the blisters- After all the interviews, I was already drained out by then. All my brain juices were used up in answering to their questions.
- What's worst, I can't get myself to sleep that night. Maybe because I was too active in the day.
Day 3- Have another interview at Boon Lay area- Before that, I went to ICA to make my passport as I need to change the photo. And the person doesn't allow us to change since they have changed all to the biometric ones.
- So we have to request for the officer to help us make the letter (ok... it costs us $15 for that piece of paper!!)
- Didn't have the time to make the biometric passport anymore as I'll be leaving on Sun.
- after that, rush down for that interview and didn't have my lunch
- thought the interview will be like ard 30 mins like the rest...... BUT... it took ard 2 hours!
- was all freezed out at the interview coz they asked so many questions and asked me to promote myself to them, which I have completely no idea how to since I don't have the kind of experience they are looking for and I am not the bubbly, outgoing person they are looking for.
So, it's hard to promote someone I am not. And i trembled after like 1 hour... partly coz i am hungry and partly coz they questioned alot.
- Went home, tired and toes hurting until it became blue-black.
- Received a call saying I am offered that job!
- Happy, at least that 2 hours not wasted.
Day 4- Cycling with maine at our area with my mum.
- Have fun, but it rained. Luckily it was when we were about to head back home
- Went to the place to signed the letter of appointment
- The company has high expectations on me, hope I won't disappoint them
- After that, went to dye my hair (haha...)
- Then, attend church as there was a special speaker
Day 5 (today)- ahh... wake up early in the morning, so nice to slp coz of the rainy day
- headed down to MOE with rach to be her guarantor (hope she won't run away during her time with NIE)
- then, dropped by at a hotel to see how my new company is doing their events as they invited me over to have a look
- shop a while and went home to sleep
Will not be in Singapore... bye......
Finally, I've quitted my job!
but this isn't the end. My boss STILL wants me to consider AGAIN and reply her on 16 June when I come back from my holiday. haiz... just hope she won't be so persistent though. This is the first time I see someone who wants to make the employee stay so badly. I just wish she could let me off and let me go....
Yesterday I went to the GM's room coz he wanted to talk to me. * wa... scary..
Well, the company could not sponser for my studies as it is a degree programme, so what my boss told me is not true. But they ask me to consider part time degree and they will let me knock off earlier for my studies. hmm....
So, I sent many resume out already. haha.
But now, I have problems deciding what job I would like to do. If I stick to the job scope I am doing right now, the pay for this job will be much higher than what I was getting. But if I change to a completely different job scope and field, I will be getting lesser, much lesser.
So how will you choose?
Choose the one which you might want to try coz you studied that during poly, but not that highly paid?
Or will you choose one which you have experienced in but don't really want to be in that field, but highly paid??
