Labour day + 1 month's Anniversary...

Tomorrow is 1/5 Labour Day. Wish everyone: Happy Labour Day... :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time flies. I have been working in my new company for 1 month and i had get my first month salary. So pathetic. The pay is little after CPF deduction. I know that i cannot compare my current pay with STM pay because I don't have any allowance or OT pay and now i am working in normal shift. However, sure will have a bit of unbalance. Really needs some time to get use to all the changes, like pay cut, work 5 days, long distance travelling, etc... Hmm...

But, frankly speaking, although i have been working for 1 month, the day that i really worked was only about 16 days because i always had activity/training on one of the day in these few weeks. But, that was only my 1st month and it can be considered as the honeymoon month. Think start from May, i won't have this kind of luxury liao. Already started to have projects and need to handle issue. :(

So far, i am still ok with the job there. I like the working environment because it is really flexible. The colleagues there are quite nice also. Started to be more familiar with them after i shifted my desk. Now, i am sitting beside my partner. We are our direct back-up. So, i feel that it is good to sit nearby so that we can have more interactions. Anything happen, we can discuss immediately. She is a nice, cute and young lady. Friendly and helpful. So far, we work quite well with each other. I have my gang of eating kaki liao. We will go to have lunch together. Quite fun... However, i really have to manage my time well because we always have many meetings/discussions in a day. The time that we can really sit down to do our work is not a lot. So, really must manage the time well. If not, everything will be in a mess. I MUST always remind myself on that. If not, when everything starts to pile up, then really very jialat liao...

This week will be my another honeymoon week. I only need to work 3.5 days. Tomorrow is public holiday and this coming Friday, will be the team building day. Only need to work half a day. So happy...

For the team building, finally have a conclusion. Will go to Merchant Court for lunch then go to PitStop Cafe for board games + relax. I know all my colleagues are looking forward to this team building event as they hope to relax and enjoy after many months' of stressed and busy work. I hope we all can enjoy also and hope that from this event, i can be more more familiar with them and our relationship will be closer. Hope everyone will have a lot of fun on that day...

Will update and post some photos regarding the team building soon... :)

Really must Ganbatte, MUST...

So fast, this week was my 3rd week at my new workplace liao. I started to feel the stress. I have many things need to do. A lot of E-learning courses i need to complete, have to gradually start to take care of the processes that i am going to own, have to start thinking of the projects to improve the process robustness/ yield. Actually i roughly know what i should do but i don't know how to start and where to start from because a lot of things i still don't know. And, i feel that i am not capable and i always have no idea. Stupid. Haiz...

I really MUST work hard and study hard and learn hard. Really hope that i won't make my boss disappointed and regret of hiring me. Hahaha... Really must GANBATTE... Yes, from next week onwards, must WORK HARD!!!

Another thing, the process team building session date was already fixed. And, of course, me and my philipino colleague were selected to be the organiser (as we are newcomers). Actually already have some options of the activity.

List of activities:
1) KTV
2) Beach Volleyball @ Sentosa
3) Online game
4) Book a room @ E2Max (not sure) to watch DVD - suggested by my boss
5) Cycling & roller blading @ ECP

I need more ideas leh. Pls tell me... :)

Company Celebration Party = Team Building

Just back home. Today reached home quite early as today was my company celebration party (or team-building) at west coast park. The party ended at about 5pm. Came home directly after the party loh...

Can you imagine that Managers and operators play together?? This really happened in my company. Today party involved all levels of ppl, from manager level to operator level, even my manager's manager also played with us. Everyone like really 没大没小. Operators dared to make fun of production manager. Everyone really had fun and enjoyed the games. Actually it is really good to have this kind of activity. It provides the opportunity for everyone to know more about the company members. Feel that this kind of activity just can call "Team-building" and not like what we had attended in STM. Whole team includes everyone in the company mah... However, think this is not so possible to apply in STM lah as STM is really too big, too many ppl...

Actually, i am quite lucky that i joined the company at this time. This activity really gave me the chance to know more about my colleagues and to interact more with them...

Heard that will have process team-building session whenever there are newcomers. And, those new staff have to plan for the activity and the place to go. Haiz... i sure have to involve loh... Any suggestions??? Feel free to tell me. I am really poor in organizing event leh...

Insomnia...

This morning finally made the decision of seeing Chinese Physician for my long term insomnia prob. After about 1 year of my shift work, i started to have hard time to sleep. The situation becomes worse and worse. I thought after i changed to normal shift job. I will recover and can have sound sleep everyday. But, the situation didn't turn well. So, decided to go to see Chinese Physician.

The Chinese Physician said that my heart is very weak and my 气 is very 虚. Need to take time to 调理 back my body. She gave me 1 week chinese medicine to eat first and will review the situation after one week.

Really hope that i can get rid of this insomnia prob asap. I really hate of the feeling of not enough sleep. Everyday will feel tired and difficult to concentrate. My eyes will feel tired because of this and will have dark ring also. Every time when i go to temple, i always will pray that i can have sound sleep... Haiz...

Working shift is good to earn money but it really will deteriorate our health. At least this applies to me...

Album...

Finally took my photo album. From photo-taking till having the album, it took about 2 months. Spent quite a lot of money in this because I additionally bought 25 pieces of photos (samples). Those photos were not touched-up and were not placed inside the album. Can say that those photos were those rejected one. At first, don’t intend to buy so much. Don’t want to waste so much money on it and actually those photos are quite similar just that the pose has slight different, like hand puts at different place, eyes see different direction, etc. But, after seeing the photos, feel that it will be once in my life time and if I don take the photos, it will be thrown also. Wasted mah… So, I spent extra RM200 to buy those samples lo… Thinking of 岁月不饶人, just for the sake of memory lo... Time won't go back one mah...

花样少年少女

Finally finished watching the 偶像剧 <花样少年少女>. It is quite a funny show. However, there is no ending for the show because it is very obvious that they will have Part 2. In the last episode, there is a sentence in the last scene saying that “Our story has just begun…”







From the show, feel that the main actor 吴尊, the one who acted 左以泉, is very 帅. His figure is very good. His 五官 is very 好看. Heard that he was voted as the number 1 花样男子 in one of the elections in Malaysia’s Newspaper. Maybe now the show is very famous. That’s why he got No 1. Personally feel that he is 实至名归 lah, he is really good looking… Actually we (SY and i) had discussed this before. We felt that 仔仔 (one of the members in F4)also suits the name of 花样男子. He looks like those 主角 in the comic mah. Both of them are shy shy type. But, 仔仔 is more on weak side. He gives ppl weak impression because he is tall and thin. As for吴尊, he doesn’t look weak because he has muscle mah. He got trained himself. But, he is not fat. Haha…

Since now my new “idol” is 吴尊, of course have to know more about him lo. Hee… Found some info regarding him. Wah… he was from Brunei and he studied in Australia before. He got a Degree in Business Administration leh… Hmm… not bad, not bad…hahaha…

First Week at Work ...

So fast, started my new job for 1 week already. Actually should say only 4 days because today is Good Friday, PH mah. It was really a honeymoon week to me. Didn’t do many things. Tidied my table, downloaded/printed documents to read, went meeting with colleague and did some essential courses… To me, everything is really still very fresh.

My boss is quite a nice guy. He looks very young. I guess at most 35 years old. But, I think he is younger than that. He looks like senior engr rather than boss. Heard that he was just promoted from principal engr to boss last year. Quite a capable person. As for collegues, so far so good. However, it really takes time to build up the relationship with them. Sianz… Still miss my ex-colleagues leh… hahah… The working environment there is quite good. Although official working hours is from 8.30am to 5.30pm, most of the people reach office at 9 plus as we don’t need to clock in/out. It is ok to go off earlier provided you have finished your job. It is very flexible. The cafeteria there is much much better than my STM. It is a food court rather than a canteen. I haven’t tried the food there yet but think not too bad, from the appearance. Haha… But, I don like the toilet. Old and sometimes it is smelly. Still like STM level 6 toilet. :)

The HR system there is all paperless. Everything is web-based one. Leave application, any claims, even pay slip, also use internet. It is very convenient. For courses, think most of the courses are web-based one also. Those e-learning courses. You can arrange your time to take. Very flexible loh… These were what I observed in the first week there. Seems like pros more than cons. Hahah… subsequently maybe I will find out more cons… Hopefully I won’t. :)

Next week and the week after next, I only need to work 4 days also. Hee… Next Tue is company outing day. It is sort of like team-building event. Everyone will join and it is on our working day. So, must join. The week after next I will attend a seminar at Orchard. It is a one-day seminar. So, don’t need to work also. Heehee… However, think from next week onwards, I have to start doing some things liao. So, maybe will start to have stress as too many things still don’t know. Really have to study hard and hope that I can catch up ASAP...

Yesterday just got my badge. Very happy. Finally can become the official member of my new company and don’t need to exchange Temp badge every morning.


STM Badge Photo ----------- Current Badge Photo

See the 2 photos. One was taken 3 years back. One was taken 3 days before. Just realized that I wore the same blouse while taking these 2 photos. Hahaha… Big difference in 3 years time??? :)

First Day at Work...

Today was my first dat at work at my new company. Purposely wore red colour inner wear for auspiciouness. Crazy,right? Haha... Hope that everything is smooth smooth mah...

Woke up at around 6.45am. Left home at about 7.20am. I was very 假利害. Wore a new shoes to work. The stupid shoes made one of my toe's skin peeled off. I realised the pain when i was inside the train. I was still thinking how i could tahan till evening. No choice, i asked a gal inside the train for plaster. Luckily she had. Hee.. If not, i think i can't even go to the office. Heng heng...

Knew a guy during the HR on-board orientation. We are under the same boss but we will be doing different thing. He is a Philipino. He is quite a nice guy. We chit-chatted a lot during lunch time because when we finished the HR orientation, it was already 12pm. Hence, both of us went to have lunch together before going to office. The system in my new company is quite advanced. All are web-based one. Leave application, claim, pay slip, etc. We can do it online. Very convenient lo...

Afternoon, finally went to office. My boss introduced me to my colleagues and showed me my table. Yeah... I have my own table,own computer and own printer. But, the computer is a bit slow and the LCD monitor is 15" one. My colleague told me that actually the monitor on that table previously was 17" one. After the previous staff left, somebody took the 17" monitor and changed a 15" monitor. Anyway, to me, big or small is not an issue lah... Another thing is that i can surf net. I can use MSN. But, don't think will use very often as my seat is not at the corner. It is not good to let ppl see i am playing MSN during work mah... So far, the colleagues there are quite nice lo. But, can see that they are busy because they are short-handed. Really hope that i can knock off on time leh as i won't have any OT allowance mah...

But, just first day at work. I started to have stress liao. There are many many many things i have to read up/ catch up and my boss has already given me a task. First day only leh, so fast... :( Don't care lah, 即来之,则安之. I plan to give myself 2 weeks to familialise the system and the operations there first before start doing anything.

All the best!! All the best!!!

另一转捩点。。。

There will have many many turning points in everyone's life. Whether it turns to good or bad direction, it depends on luck and fate.

To me, tml will be my another 转捩点. Will be going to a new company to work. Will need to start adapting the new environment, start knowing new colleagues/making new friends, start everything all over again. Really hope that everything will be 顺顺利利. Really hope that i can work happily in my new company just like what i did in my ex-company.

Current feeling: A bit 战战兢兢. A bit scared. A bit worry. A bit nervous.

Think tonight sure cannot sleep...
